time to consider ways to lower you modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) to keep Medicare premiums lower. Higher incomes pay more for the Medicare B premiums, as well as pay an additional amount for the privilege of participating in Medicare Part D. The amount paid is based on a person’s modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) reported in the two past years. These premiums are expected to go up in 2016. In 2018, premiums will go even higher. This is important to consider now, because Social Security considers the two previous tax returns in counting your income for determining these Medicare related premiums. So, 2018 premiums will be based on 2016 tax returns. For example, in 2018, Part B premiums are expected to rise from $238 per month per person to $310 per month per person for Medicare beneficiaries with incomes from $133,501 to $160,000 (or $267,001 to $320,000 per couple). For beneficiaries with incomes between $160,001 to $214,000, (or $320,001 to $428,000

for a couple), monthly Part B premiums are expected to rise from $310 to $381 per person. More people will be paying the higher premiums in the next few years. Here are three strategies to help minimize the cost: Avoid penalties due to late enrollment. Your initial Medicare enrollment periods are critical because you have a window of opportunity to enroll at age 65. Medicare auto enrolls you, unless you sign a decline form. The initial enrollment period is seven months around the 65th birthday. This is the time you are “guaranteed issued” on any plan you chose. There are also annual general enrollment (1/1 – 3/31) and open enrollment (10/15 – 12/7) periods. If you have a Group plan, penalties are not imposed. If you leave your group, you have a Special Election period, can enroll in Part B (professional services), Part D (prescription drug), and elect a Supplemental or a Medicare Advantage plan. Penalties are permanent and paid monthly for your lifetime. The monthly Part B premium would go up 10% for each full

12-month in which you are not enrolled. The Medicare Part D penalty is the same, but 12% per year. A change of income should be reported each year to avoid surcharges. You may file a “change in circumstance” with Social Security when income drops. Every year Social Security is going to look at a person’s income to determine their Medicare premium. Common reasons to file a “change in circumstance” are: loss or reduction of work, amending your return due to error, if someone marries, divorces or is widowed; loses income property due to disaster, an employer pension plan termination or reorganization, and an employer base settlement due to bankruptcy. If you are eligible for one of these circumstances, report it immediately to Social Security. You must file within a 60-day timeframe to get the premiums lowered. One strategy that could help save premiums on Medicare Part B and Part D, is a reverse mortgage. It’s another tool or

instrument ... that really can be a benefit to many retirees, in their 60s. A reverse mortgage is a way for a client to monetize their home equity, however you do not pay taxes on that income. To qualify, you must be 62 years old, and the house must be their primary home and currently lived in. They are available for singlefamily property, HUD-approved condo or up to four-unit home. Use tax deferred investments, such as annuities to decrease taxable income. Always consider ways to shelter income, because will make a great impact on your ROI (return off investment) and your premiums may be lowered considerably.

Keeping HOA Money Where It Belongs the context of each association’s circumstances. 1. Hire professional management. If your association cannot afford full management, many companies offer “financial management” at a lower cost. Some accountants also manage association finances. Managers have very specific restrictions as to their handling of association funds, under Civil Code 5380. Also make sure the manager holds a credential from a recognized organization. A credential is no guarantee of honesty, but it does indicate the manager is dedicated to their profession. 2. Deposit association funds only in federally insured financial institutions. If the reserve account balance is quite large, it may be beyond Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits and the association may need its bank to help move f u n d s t o

which in 2015 is $250,000. 3. Separate check preparing from check signing. While it is more convenient to allow a single director or manager to sign checks, it is safer to have a different person sign them. This makes it harder to scam the association, but also protects both the check preparer and the directors from accusations of financial misdeeds. Don’t let the manager or bookkeeper sign checks. 4. Require all checks be By Some associations signed by two directors. Two suffer damage from financial signatures must be required abuse, which can be every bit for any reserve account as devastating as a fire, except withdrawals (Civil Code 5510), that this financial damage and operating accounts should might not be covered by be handled likewise.

review the latest bank statements for all association accounts. If the board meets monthly, review this information monthly. 7. Ask questions. There should be no financial information which the record keeper cannot readily provide. A pattern of secrecy and exclusive control of financial information by one person is unhealthy. 8. Regularly review bank statements. Does income and expense information in the statements match what is in the board’s financial report? 9. Adopt a policy that directors are only reimbursed for authorized and documented out of pocket expenditures. 10. Avoid petty cash accounts if possible. 11. Have fidelity insurance, and also insist your manager have it. Fidelity insurance is a special type of coverage which specifically insures from dishonesty loss. Insurance brokers often recommend fidelity insurance coverage equal to the reserve account balance plus three months operating income. Exercise fiscal safety. Kelly G.

Ken Ludwig farce at North Coast Repertory Theatre

Kevin Bailey, Kyle Sorrell, Jacquelyn Ritz and Ashley Stults By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Some people think golf is a silly game played mostly by aging, white seniors who are struggling with their ‘arrested development’ syndromes and plunging testosterone levels. Mark Twain said it best with the pithy observation: “golf is a good walk spoiled.” There is a lot of truth in that lament, however, the people who keep trying to master the game make great ‘characters’ for plays, movies, and novels. Ken Ludwig, one of America’s great practitioners of the art form known as farce is keenly aware of the foibles and folly of human behavior has written a comedy/farce set against a golf background that should please his legion of fans. “Fox on the Fairway”, helmed by Director Matthew Wiener, has a stellar cast who try to bring this lightweight comedy/farce to life, however, this Ludwig effort isn’t up to level of his blockbuster

plays that took home two Best Play Tony Awards for “Lend Me A Tenor” and “Moon Over Buffalo” several seasons ago. The story is set at the fictitious Quail Valley Country Club where the annual country club challenge tournament between Quail Valley and Crouching Squirrel Country Club is being held. It’s a glittering evening for the ladies and it’s a heavily wagered event by the two club presidents. This time the bet is $100,000 to the wining club president. Henry Bingham (Kevin Bailey) of Quail Valley and Dickie Bell (Brian Salmon) of Crouching Squirrel, Bingham’s obnoxious, Malapropism quoting, bloviating rival are both looking for any angle that will give them an edge in the golf tournament. Bingham hires a new assistant Justin Hicks (Kyle Sorrell) and is counting on new Quail Valley member and ‘ringer’ named Tramplemaine to play for the team. The trouble begins when Bingham learns the morning

of the tournament that Dickie has lured Tramplemaine to play for Crouching Squirell instead. What’s an outmaneuvered fellow

to do? Why, just let the silliness and the madcap and zany farce antics begin. Other players in the scenario are: Louise, clubhouse waitress and Justin Hicks’ new fiancée, and Pamela, the Board Vice President (Jacquelyn Ritz), who is always on the lookout for a new toy to play games with, and at the moment Henry Bingham is in Pamela’s cross-hairs and Muriel Bingham (Roxane Carrasco) the screeching, battle-axe wife of Henry. Directors usually bring their personal visions to the productions they oversee; which at times, can either enhance or impede the success of a production. We’re dealing with a wild and wooly farce here. Yes, the action calls for broad on-stage action: slamming doors, improbable situations, ridiculous solutions, etc. If everyone is trying to move story along, would it be too much ask that it should be at least within the zip code of believability? It’s difficult to buy ‘the various bits’ when the premise is flawed from the get go. All the laughs in the

world can’t win the day or the $100,000 wager if there isn’t a scintilla of believability in the whole ball of wax. One should never be surprised, however, when good actors make something out of nothing. Kevin Bailey, Jacquelyn Ritz and Ashley Stults give it their best and come off as having a good time as well as giving good performances. The set design by Marty Burnett is picture-perfect for a golf club Tap Room. The lights designed by Matt Novotny are always right on the money. The costumes by Elisa Benzoni are appropriate for the farce underpinnings, but anachronistic knickerbockers! They went out of style in the 1940’s. That’s either stretching credulity or pandering for laughs. Whatever happened to controlled subtlety? “Fox on the Fairway”, now on stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre, runs through October 11, 2015.

unique approach to composing the music for the three distinct periods of time depicted in Steve Jobs. What they’ve created is a symphonic tour de force with three distinguishable aural points of view to complement the film’s narrative arc: The first movement, set in 1984, expresses the optimism of Jobs’ first product launch, the Macintosh. Restricting himself to equipment of the time and embracing their limitations, Pemberton utilized what is now technology of the past – synthesizers such as the Yamaha CS-80, Roland SH-1000, Roland Juno-60, and Moog Minimoog – to reflect that era’s visions of the future, while still creating a sound world that would sit comfortably alongside Sorkin’s dialogue and Boyle’s direction.

DesertSTAR

The second movement, set in 1988 at the San Francisco Opera House, sees the unveiling of the NeXTcube with a theatrical orchestral fantasia. With composed, large-scale operatic pieces, elaborate emotional transformations of a simple tuning-up sequence, and a dramatic symphony, the score reflects both Jobs the conductor and ringmaster – as well as a man focused on revenge. The more reflective, internal, and emotional third movement takes us to 1998 with Jobs’ unveiling of the iMac, and echoes the various ways in which we utilize computers as we know them today. “Today, I write pretty much everything I do on an Apple machine descended, in part, from that iMac,” said Pemberton. “I use a piece of Apple software

called Logic. I can write music, manipulate sounds, produce recordings, and express myself as an artist without ever leaving the computer.” Pemberton is an Ivor Novello Award-winning and multiBAFTA-nominated composer who is well known for embracing a wide range of musical mediums – from electronic to orchestral – throughout his work. After more than a decade establishing himself as one of the most inventive and experimental voices in British television, Pemberton moved into the world of film with the period supernatural thriller The Awakening. His hybrid choral, orchestral, and electronic score caught the ear of Ridley Scott, who hired the composer to score The Counselor. He collaborated again with Scott on the director’s foray into television, The Vatican. October 7, 2015

In 2014, Pemberton won the Discovery of the Year Award at the prestigious World Soundtrack Awards for his work on Cuban Fury and The Counselor. This year has seen the release of Pemberton’s acclaimed soundtrack to Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E. About the Film: Set backstage in the minutes before three iconic product launches spanning Jobs’ career – beginning with the Macintosh in 1984, and ending with the unveiling of the iMac in 1998 – Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter. Steve Jobs is directed by Academy Award® winner Danny Boyle and written by Academy Award® winner Aaron Sorkin, working from Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography of the

Apple founder. The producers are Mark Gordon, Guymon Casady of Film 360, Scott Rudin, Boyle, and Academy Award® winner Christian Colson. Michael Fassbender plays Steve Jobs, the pioneering founder of Apple, with Academy Award®-winning actress Kate Winslet starring as Joanna Hoffman, former marketing chief of Macintosh. Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple, is played by Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels stars as former Apple CEO John Sculley. The film also stars Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ exgirlfriend, and Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original members of the Apple Macintosh development team. www.stevejobsthefilm.com Source: PRNewswire

Donald Trump supports Putin â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bombing the hell out of ISISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Desert Star Staff Moscow is â&#x20AC;&#x153;bombing the hell out of ISISâ&#x20AC;? because President Putin wants to prevent terrorism spilling into Russia, said US presidential candidate Donald Trump, criticizing failed US Middle Eastern policies that have already turned Iraq and Libya into a total mess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not even a contest!â&#x20AC;? Donald Trump said in response to an NBC News presenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question about whether it had been better when Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were in power. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iraq is a disasterâ&#x20AC;Ś Libya is not even a country,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can make the case, if you look at Libya, look at what we did there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mess. If you look at Saddam Hussein with Iraq, look what we did there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mess.â&#x20AC;? Trump said that Washington is â&#x20AC;&#x153;destroying our countryâ&#x20AC;? by wasting too much money on Middle Eastern policies that do not seem to work: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have spent $2

trillion in Iraq, probably a trillion in Afghanistanâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? [Syria] is going to be the same thing,â&#x20AC;? Trump said, criticizing US support of so-called moderate Syrian rebels. At one point the interviewer mentioned that Russian airstrikes could be â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitting people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve trained,â&#x20AC;? but Trump interrupted him by stating: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are talking about people we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rebel group we have no idea â&#x20AC;Ś I was talking to a general two days ago, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have no idea who these people are.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We are training people, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who they are. We are giving them billions of dollars to fight Assad,â&#x20AC;? Trump said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fighting Assad and fighting for people, helping people ...we even donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand who they are. And they may be worse than Assad. They may be worse,â&#x20AC;? Trump reiterated. However, he emphasized that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not saying Assad is a good guy.â&#x20AC;?

Trump stressed that he has nothing against the Russian antiterrorist operation in Syria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like that Putin is bombing the hell out of ISIS,â&#x20AC;? Trump said, adding that he believes that the target of the airstrikes is indeed

â&#x20AC;&#x153;going to be ISIS.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you why. Putin has to get rid of ISIS â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause Putin does not want ISIS coming into Russia,â&#x20AC;? Trump said. However, he explained that he hopes the operation will eventually weaken

Russia and that Russian President Putin â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be begging to get out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You watch, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get bogged down there. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend a fortune,â&#x20AC;? Trump forecast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone to the Middle East has had nothing but problems.â&#x20AC;?

prosecute individuals is not it the hands of the Federal Reserve which he chaired from 2006 to 2014, Bernanke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Department of Justice and others are responsible for

that, and a lot of their efforts have been to indict or threaten to indict financial firms. Now a financial firm is of course a legal fiction; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a person. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a financial firm in jail.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, the 71-year-old praised his institution for handling the financial meltdown saying they had done everything in order to avoid the repetition of the Great Depression of the 1930s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there was a reasonably good chance that, barring stabilization of the financial system, that we could have gone into a 1930s-style depression,â&#x20AC;? he told USA TODAY. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The panic that hit us was enormous â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think the worst in US history.â&#x20AC;? The global financial meltdown started in July 2007 with a liquidity crisis, which resulted in the US Federal Bank injecting a large amount of capital into financial markets. By September 2008, the crisis had worsened, with stock markets around the globe crashing and

trading becoming extremely volatile. In turn, consumer confidence hit rock bottom on account of fears of what could lie ahead. The US housing market was impacted enormously as many home-owners found that they were unable to meet their mortgage repayments. Most borrowers found themselves with negative equity, as the value of their real estate plummeted. The banks who were dealing with the liquidity crisis practically stopped giving out home loans as the fallout from the sub-prime lending bubble burst. The collapse of Lehman Brothers on September 14, 2008 marked the beginning of the global financial crisis. The US government proposed a $700 billion rescue plan. In January 2009 US President Obama proposed federal spending of around $1 trillion to tackle the financial crisis.

Bernanke calls for prosecutions of top financial execs

Ben Bernanke ÂŠ Kevin Lamarque / Reuters

By Desert Star Staff Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who led the US through the financial meltdown of 2008, said that top financial executives should have been prosecuted for their role in creating the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Speaking to USA Today, Bernanke blamed the US Justice Department for going

after the firms instead of focusing on the individuals who had been running huge American corporations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been my preference to have more investigation of individual action, since obviously everything that went wrong or was illegal was done by some individual, not by an abstract firm,â&#x20AC;?

Bill Filed to Allow More Mining, Block Monument in Mojave Desert

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. Mining exploration would be allowed in an area of the Mojave

Desert deemed sensitive by The California Minerals, environmental advocates - if a bill Off-Road Recreation and introduced Thursday in Congress Conservation Act, sponsored passes. by U.S. Rep. Paul Cook, R-Calif.,

would allow 150 square miles of mining within the Mojave Trails area, a 1 million-acre section of pristine desert between Twentynine Palms and the Nevada border. Jim Mattern, who has written several books on the Mojave Desert, opposes the bill. “Cook’s bill will offer the opportunity for new mining claims, which really puts the areas into jeopardy,” he said. “If you want to see land remain unscarred for future generations, then Cook’s bill is obviously not the way to go.” Mattern prefers a rival bill by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. that would establish a national monument at Mojave Trails while allowing existing ATV and salt and gold-mining operations to continue.

By Angela Monroe RIVERSIDE COUNTY -- The Riverside County Department of Health is reporting four West Nile Virus related deaths this year. This is the first time since 2008 that anyone in Riverside County has died from the disease. Mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus to people, and this year the cases are up in Riverside County. “It’s scary, it’s pretty shocking, I mean I can’t imagine myself getting like stung,” said Indio residents, Yesenia and Jocelyn. Four deaths are linked to West Nile, and they are the first fatal cases tied to the virus in the county in seven years. “Our last death associated with West Nile Virus was in 2008, we did however have

four deaths in that year,” said Barbara Cole with the Department of Public Health for Riverside County. While the director for disease control in the county says most people exposed to West Nile Virus don’t get sick, 42 people in the county have become ill. They expect more cases in October. “So it is up, we are seeing an increased number of cases so our message continues to be for people to focus on preventative measures,” said Cole. Those preventative measures include removing any standing water, installing screens on windows and doors, and wearing long sleeves and mosquito repellant with DEET especially at dusk and dawn. “This has been a record

allowed us to reduce that risk with a quicker response time,” said Wittie. Wittie says warm winters are a big reason for more mosquitoes and the virus.

Frazier Haney, conservation director for the Mojave Desert Land Trust, said Mojave Trails is a special area that must be protected. “Not only are there several species of rare and endangered plants, there’s also species being discovered that are new to science,” he said. “The California desert is really a biological frontier for discovery.” Cook’s bill specifically would prevent President Obama from using his powers under the Antiquities Act to declare a national monument at Mojave Trails. It also would lift environmental protections for a large area in Inyo County. Cook’s bill soon will be available online at cook.house. gov. Feinstein’s bill is at feinstein. senate.gov.

Hearings Begin Today on Rooftop Solar Power Rates

By Desert Star Staff SAN FRANCISCO - The big three California utility companies are going before the Public Utilities Commission in San Francisco today to argue for changes in the way people with rooftop solar are compensated for the energy they feed back into the grid. Right now under the net metering program, solar owners are credited at the same rate the utilities charge. Evan Gillespie, director with the Sierra Club, says the changes the utilities want would take away the savings that lead people to install rooftop solar. “If the utilities succeed in making these changes, only the very, very rich are going to be able to afford solar going forward, and that’s a big problem because it’s also taking away one of the single greatest tools that we have to fight climate change and clean up our air,” says Gillespie. San Diego Gas and Electric, Pacific Gas and Electric, and Edison would like to cut compensation to homeowners by about half, and charge higher connection fees, arguing that

The PUC is holding hearings for solar power compensation. Credit: Solarenergy.org solar owners don’t contribute enough to the upkeep of the grid. The Public Utilities Commission has until the end of the year to make a decision. Gillespie says the utilities’ argument doesn’t hold up because solar generators reduce

the demand for power from dirtier, more expensive sources and improve grid reliability. “It’s a nice story that they have yet to demonstrate data to back up,” he says. “We just made significant changes to how customers pay their bills. Going

forward every Californian is going to be paying about $10 a month on their bill to cover these types of infrastructure charges.” The Sierra Club will hold rallies on this subject over the next three weeks in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The Evidence to Support Incarceration Reform

By Desert Star Staff D A L L A S , - - A r a re bipartisan consensus is growing in Congress on the need for reforming U.S. incarceration policy. The ideological rationales

PALM SPRINGS Seniors on Stage on

for supporting reform vary in predictable ways, but all factions depend on the same social science research to buttress their case. The fall edition of Issues in Science and Technology

includes four feature articles by experts that explain the failure of current policies and practices to achieve their desired goals, the unintended detrimental effects on communities of color, the implications for public health, and the need to better manage the transition of former prisoners back into their communities. The long-term trends in U.S. incarceration are alarming: From 1973 to 2009, U.S. state and federal prison populations rose from about 200,000 to 1.5 million. An additional 700,000 men and women are being held in local jails. This increase occurred during a period when there was no significant increase in the level of crimes committed. The U.S. incarceration is five to ten times higher than rates in Western Europe and other democracies. In 2010, the incarceration rate for African Americans was six times and for Hispanics three times that of non-Hispanic whites. More than 2 million U.S. children have fathers in prison. These figures are particularly alarming because there was no social science evidence to justify the changes in U.S. policy that led

to the precipitous increase in the prison population nor is there any evidence that this has deterred people from criminal behavior. The articles in this issue dig deeper to understand what is happening behind these national statistics. How do states and cities differ in their approaches to criminal behavior, and are there best practices that could be adopted elsewhere? What happens to people when they complete their prison sentences? Some poor and minority communities have a particularly high percentage of their residents enmeshed in the criminal justice system; is there a tipping point at which efforts to keep these neighborhoods safe actually become harmful to the community’s social fabric? What are the effects of incarceration on the mental and physical health of prisoners and their home communities?

Lonnie Ali said, “I am very thankful to [Sports Illustrated] for having the wherewithal to realize that this was a legacy and to name this award after him... I’m really anxious to see and to applaud those who come after him that receive this award.” Foreman said, “This is a great honor not only for Muhammad Ali but it’s a great honor for the sport of boxing…. Sports Illustrated is recognizing a guy that not only loved boxing but he loved Sports Illustrated. If you would see Muhammad with anything in his pocket, his money was always gone but he had a Sports Illustrated… It’s good for the sport and this honor is great for us…. This is the greatest man I’ve ever met in my life, I get excited in my heart every time I met

him…Congratulations, Sports Illustrated, congratulations, Muhammad Ali, God bless you.” In 2008, Sports Illustrated instituted the Legacy Award and only two individuals have been selected by the SI editorial team to receive the honor. Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder and driving force behind the Special Olympics, was the inaugural honoree, with her son Bobby accepting the award in her honor during the annual Sportsman of the Year ceremony. In 2014, Earvin (Magic) Johnson was honored for his two decades as an entrepreneur, philanthropist and social and political activist. He also accepted the honor at the annual Sportsman event, where he was commended by President Bill Clinton and NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Ali appeared on this week’s cover of Sports Illustrated, marking the 39th time he was featured on the cover: http:// on.si.com/1FFyhMT

C E N T E R S TA G E “Awake and Sing” Revival on Stage at the Odyssey Theatre WITH BEVERLY COHN

L-R: Robert Lesser (Myron Berger,) David Agranov (Moe Axelrod,) Allan Miller (Jacob,) Richard Fancy (Uncle Morty,) and James Morosini (Ralph) in a scene from Clifford Odet’s “Awake and Sing.”

James Morosini as Ralph Berger with Marilyn Fox as his meddling mother Bessie.

“Kitchen Sink” drama, a British cultural movement in the late 1950s and 1960s, is a style of theatre where the story line focuses on the everyday problems of the urban working class, usually with an angry young man as the principal protagonist. Examples of that style are Frank Gilroy’s The Subject Was Roses, Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, and Clifford Odet’s searing Awake and Sing! Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Group Theatre’s New York premiere, as well as the 20th anniversary of the Odyssey Theatre production, this precious chestnut has been resurrected and once again is onstage at the Odyssey Theatre. Basically, the story revolves around a multi-generational bluecollar family living in a cramped apartment in the Bronx. It’s 1934 and the family is struggling to survive financially under the harsh effects of The Great Depression. The centerpiece of the Berger family is Bessie, stridently played by Marilyn Fox, who played the same role in the original Odyssey production. Bessie, who is tough as nails, will do anything it

takes to solve a problem. She rules the family with an iron fist without the velvet glove. She is the quintessential dominant Jewish mother who says such lines as: “I don’t know what I did to God to be blessed with such children.” This is a juicy part but under the spotty direction of Elina de Santos, who also directed the original Odyssey production, Fox failed to find subtle ways of expressing her anger, other than lashing out throughout most of the play, which becomes theatrically uninteresting. On the other hand, directorproof Allan Miller does a brilliant job as grandpa Jacob. His characterization is fully actualized and his deeply-layered performance is quite compelling, especially in the tender scenes between he and his grandson Ralph. Jacob is a Marxist and is dissatisfied with the state of the country. Bessie ridicules her father for his beliefs and to get away from her tongue-lashings, he takes refuge in his tiny room playing Caruso records and reading books. In response to her antagonistic attacks, he says: “A woman insults a man’s

soul like nothing else in the world.” Odets wrote Jacob as the voice of reason in this dysfunctional family. Despite the dire present conditions, he holds out hope for a better tomorrow. Ralph, played by James Morosini, is the angry young son who works as a stock clerk. He is full of resentments and is still upset that he never even received roller skates as a child. All he wants now is a pair of black and white shoes and to have his own room. Ralph is in love with a girl and says: “She’s so beautiful, you look at her and cry.” Bessie does everything she can to sabotage this budding relationship. The major support Ralph gets is from grandpa, who is his grandson’s confidante. He encourages him to follow his dreams. Morosini’s most poignant scenes were between he and his grandfather, which is no surprise, since Miller is such a wonderfully giving actor. Bessie’s daughter Hennie is a petulant 26-year-old who appears to be angry at the world. Played by Melissa Paladino, in the opening act, her characterization was very mannered, with her physical life consisting of prancing around the stage assuming various poses, more appropriate for a photo shoot than a family drama. The actress seemed at a loss in finding her character

DesertSTAR

October 7, 2015

and nothing she did was real until the last act when she finally settled down and gave a deep, heartfelt performance. Again, the director should have guided her in the opening act to give a more honest, organic portrayal of this young woman in distress. The dad, Myron Berger, is played by Robert Lesser. His character is a henpecked lost soul who does his wife’s bidding. Wearing an apron, he helps with domestic chores. When witnessing the family squabbles, he says: “It’s like a play on stage.” Lesser gives a credible performance as the almost invisible, emasculated husband. One of the most interesting characters is Moe Axelrod, a boarder in the Berger home, extremely well played by David Agranov. He is a veteran and returned from the war sans one leg. An ex-bootlegger, and currently a part-time bookie, he is bitter and cynical. He is also in love with Hennie with whom he had, let’s say, a brief encounter. Moe is also Ralph’s ally and after Bessie tells her son that his girlfriend had not called, Moe secretly tells Ralph that she had, indeed, called. Agranov has mined the layers of his character and we understand what truth lies beneath his hostile exterior. In theatre terms it’s called “subtext.” It seems that every Jewish family has a rich uncle and in this one it’s Bessie’s brother Uncle Morty. Richard Fancy, who is also from the original cast, plays the role with just the right amount of arrogance and entitlement. He is a successful clothing manufacturer and sends a small check each month to cover his father’s expenses. Bessie worships him and literally kneels at his feet when he speaks. Uncle Morty has been invited for dinner, before which grandpa gives him a haircut, earning a five-cent tip. Mealtime at the family dining room table becomes a battleground for a host of issues. The final principal character is

Sam Feinschreiber, well played by Gary Patent. He is an unattractive recent immigrant whose English is flawed. However, on finding out some shocking news about her daughter, Bessie hoodwinks Sam into becoming part of the family with some surprising results. The remaining character is Dennis Madden as Scholsser, the building’s superintendent and the recipient of Bessie’s endless list of complaints, including not having enough steam heat or a dumbwaiter. * In his infinite brilliance as a writer, Odets sprinkled in many comical moments to break the ongoing family tension, but unfortunately de Santos either failed to find those moments and/ or to help her actors mine the comedic nuggets. Despite some creditable performances, the failure of this production is the lack of cohesiveness, with too many pauses between cues and stage business, so that sometimes the dialogue became a series of nonconnected moments, instead of action-reaction so that the play is driven forward. The technical team did a splendid job beginning with Pete Hickok’s set design consisting of the living and dining rooms, and two sleeping alcoves – one for grandpa and the other for Ralph. Kim DeShazo’s costume design and Leigh Allen’s lighting design worked together to give the production an authentic period look. *Dumbwaiter: A tiny freight elevator used in this context to collect garbage.

In the current revival, much of the freshness is achieved by his casting of Maria. According to O’Brien, “The Maria in our production, Kirstin Anderson, is just turning 21-years old.” The real-life Maria Rainer was also only 21-years old when she left the abbey to serve as a temporary governess for the Von Trapp family. In the original Broadway production, Mary Martin, who played Maria, was 46. O’ Brian also lowered the ages of most of the characters by at least 15 or 20 years. “The Mother Abbess, Maria’s mentor, is being played by Ashley Brown, who is in her 30s. When she sings ‘Climb Every Mountain’ to Maria, she’s singing about her

own journey, about herself. That’s how she chose God. She, like Maria, was attractive, young and vulnerable too. “I don’t know how to say this,” he continued, “but I’m looking at this show with emotion and love and sex in mind. A story that has existed for 50 years needs beautiful music, but it also needs a heart beating inside it.” Ben Davis (Captain Georg Von Trapp) also adds warmth to this latest incarnation. Usually, the Captain is seen as overly stiff and strict, but in Davis’s nuanced portrayal Georg can soften his stance with his children shortly after Maria enters their lives. And unlike the film, the seven Von Trapp children warm to Maria quickly. They see in her someone who is, like themselves, playful, vibrant and open to music and joy. The youngsters, Paige Silvester (Liesl), Mackenzie Currie (Maria), Quinn Erickson (Kurt), Svea Johnson (Brigitta),

Maria Knasel (Luisa), Erich Schuett (Friedrich) and Audrey Bennett making her professional debut as the baby of the family (Gretl) are all superbly cast and sing in perfect harmony. Merwin Foard plays Max Detweiler, with Teri Hansen in the role of Elsa Schraeder, who has her eye on the Captain, more for practical reasons than for love. The hills, and the Ahmanson, are alive with the sound of music throughout as Maria and Mother Abbess sing “My Favorite Things” in Act I. Their playful interaction adds charm to their relationship. Other iconic songs in Act I include “The Sound of Music,” “Do-ReMi,” “The Lonely Goatherd,” “So Long Farewell” and “Climb Every Mountain,” sung by Mother Abbess (Ashley Brown). Her presentation of the song was so stirring she evoked prolonged cheers from the opening-night audience. Act II turns darker as the

Captain is faced with a moral dilemma. A loyal Austrian, he cannot support the takeover of his beloved country by the Third Reich, but shortly after he and Maria are married. Nazis arrive at his estate with orders for him to report to active duty immediately. Fortunately, the family is scheduled to sing in a highly publicized local festival and he, and his family is reluctantly allowed to perform together as a courtesy before he must go to war. The full menace of what is to come, not only to Austria but to the world at large, is made graphically apparent when four floors to ceiling length red and black Nazi banners are unfurled behind the Von Trapp family as they sing “Edelweiss,” a song that asks God to “Bless my homeland forever.” Even though this Rodgers and Hammerstein masterpiece is a half-century old, it is still relevant to modern audiences because,

according to O’Brien, “our word will always be in peril. And we take courage from the success of others, and learn how to behave in difficult circumstances (when) we see people stand up for their rights and make a moral decision.” It’s too bad Pope Francis didn’t get the chance to see this eloquent revival of “The Sound of Music” on his recent visit. The religious purity, moral conviction, courage and sheer beauty of this production would surely have made him happy. It will also delight everyone who loves this inspiring true story set to music by the incomparable team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. “The Sound of Music,” at the Ahmanson Theatre, 135 North Grand Ave., L.A. ends Oct. 31. Tickets from $25 to $150. For information go to: www. centertheatregroup.org or call (213) 628-2772 Running time 2 hours, 40 minutes.

Duran Duran’s cool desert storm By Anthony Grant “It’s quite hot out there,” Simon Le Bon said to a rapt audience at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage on Saturday night. “Does anybody actually live here?” extractor fans of Duran Duran, the British New Romantic pop band that helped define the sound of the 1980s, known to take lead singer Simon’s cheeky humor in stride. “I quite like this heat actually,” he added, having just sailed through a performance of “Paper Gods,” the title track off Duran Duran’s 14th studio album, and their 1982 classic “Hungry Like The Wolf.” Simon and other members of the band, including legendary keyboardist Nick Rhodes took the packed house on a high-decibel journey through hits ranging from

“Planet Earth” and Bond’s song “A View To a Kill” to “Notorious” and a moving rendition of 1993s electro power ballad “Ordinary World.” These were interspersed with material from the new album. Some of these songs feature surprising collaborations (on the album), like “Last Night in the City” with Kiesza and the energetic “Danceophobia” featuring, of all people, Lindsay Lohan. It’s hard to overstate the impact this band had on pop culture – their exotic and sometimes racy videos, from Rio to Union of the Snake and Wild Boys, were in heavy rotation on MTV as that channel became a household word in the early and mid-‘80s and nightmare of parents everywhere. But the lads of Duran Duran always kept it classy, as their Cool Britannia

underpinnings would dictate, and that high level of pop artistry and sophistication is part of the group’s enduring appeal. Simon’s characteristic vocals have barely dimmed with age – he’s now 56 – and if he was tired at all during the show at Agua Caliente, it hardly showed. The youthful glow might not be exactly what it used to, but the verve and style still come right through, and the audience responded in kind. Paper Gods” may be the title of the new record (can I say record in 2015?) even so, Simon and friends are true pop gods: a concert of this caliber doesn’t happen in the desert every day.

By Pam Price When Rabbi Sally Olins arrived at Temple Isaiah in 2006, she brought with her a love and respect for pets that inspired her to establish Pets at Rest. Not to be confused with a retirement home for elderly dogs or cats, this is much more: “a service providing grief counseling and memorials for those who have lost their pets, and deals with this in a most sensitive way.” By providing grief counseling and non-denominational memorial services for those seeking closure and healing, Rabbi Sally has turned a page in her own life. The continuation of her career as a Rabbi reflects her exemplary relationship with Barney, a

Bischon Frise, the rescue dog she adopted on October 29, 2007 from a remote shelter for small dogs tucked away in a field in Coachella, Californa. “I arrived at the shelter for little dogs three hours after Barney had been left on their doorstep having survived living outdoors with the owner’s pet pit-bull,” she says. “He was confused and bruised but there was magic when our eyes met. I knew in that moment. We would be ideal companions, and that began our relationship.” Later, this was a lightning rod for starting counseling for those who are bereft after losing their pet.” With rabbinical wisdom, the companionship she envisioned with Barney blossomed.

I spoke with Rabbi Sally at her home with Barney ‘religiously’ monitoring the entire session! It was obvious Rabbi Sally respects the depth of loss one experiences when losing their cherished human companions. During her tenure as Rabbi, many in the congregation sought advice from her. Myself included, when my Maltese, Little One passed away

Desert Pet Companion, a locally published magazine which is free and distributed at local pet stores as well as the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, featured Rabbi Sally in their Fall 2015 edition with comments on final tributes for one’s pet companion. Rabbi Sally said, “There is a process in coping with the loss of a pet,

and it can take several sessions to make one’s heart ready to accept another animal in their lives.” The operative word, she says, is “love.” For more information visit www.rabbisally.com or call 1-818-388-8867. Pam Price contributes to www.forbes.com/sites/pamprice/

Outdoor Recreation Advocates Call for Mojave Trails National

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. Outdoor recreation advocates are in Washington this week to ask President Obama to create four new national monuments including one that would protect close to 1 million acres of the Mojave Desert. They’re part of the Live Monumental campaign sponsored by KEEN Footwear, the culmination of a two-monthlong RV road trip across the United States, rallying support and gathering signatures for petitions to be delivered to the nation’s capital. David Lamfrom, director of California Desert and National Wildlife programs for the National Parks Conservation Association, said the proposed Mojave Trails National Monument is about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, between Twentynine Palms and the Nevada border. “The Mojave Trails is an

incredibly pristine range of mountains and lowlands that connects Joshua Tree National Park to Mojave National Preserve,” he said. “It’s also home to one of the longest uninterrupted stretches of Route 66.” National monument status would protect the landscape while allowing for ATV trails, hiking and existing mining operations. Keith Cozzens, spokesman for KEEN Footwear, said his company chose to feature Mojave Trails in this campaign in part because it has great archeological value and provides habitat for several endangered species. “It’s home to 550 million-year-old fossils,” he said. “It’s also a habitat for bighorn Environmental advocates with the Live Monumental campaign are in Washington this week to push for a national sheep, desert tortoises, among monument in the Mojave Desert.

MUSIC Reissues revisit essential rock LPs, soul singles BY ROBERT KINSLER

This year has seen a burgeoning number of wonderful reissues and deluxe collections celebrating bona fide musical riches. Among the most highlyrecommended titles are those celebrating the groundbreaking debut album from Garbage, a trio of singer-songwriter-guitarist Peter Frampton’s releases, a reissue of The Sneakers’ late ‘70s EP, and an outstanding collection of ‘60s and ‘70s soul rarities.

Artist: Garbage Title: Garbage - 20th Anniversary Edition (Almo Sounds) You might like if you enjoy: Garbage, The Pretenders Tell me more: Among the best and most influential albums from the 1990s, the 1995 selftitled debut from Garbage has been remastered and reissued as the expanded “Garbage 20th Anniversary Edition” that will appeal to both hardcore and casual fans of the quartet. The 2-disc audio CD version reviewed here includes iconic hits (including “Only Happy When It Rains” and “Stupid Girl”), underrated rockers

(“Supervixen,” the electronicatinged “As Heaven Is Wide,” the edgy “Vow”) and wonderful rarities (the confessional rocker “Girl Don’t Come,” the electronica rocker “Driving Lesson” and haunting piano-anchored “Sleep” are terrific). “Garbage - 20th Anniversary Edition” is available in a number of formats including on vinyl and digital. Garbage is currently on tour in celebration of the band’s debut and is performing the 1995 release in its entirety for the first time at all dates. Information: garbage.com.

studio recordings stretching from 1986’s “Premonition” to 2003’s “Now” (sandwiched around 1989’s “When All The Pieces Fit”) have been reissued complete with extensive liner notes that shed additional light on these overlooked discs. The material ranges from melodic pop-rock (including the mainstream hit “Lying” and synth rocker “Stop” from “Premonition”) to dance rock (“Holding On To You” from “When All the Pieces Fit”) and a spirited anthem (“People All Over the World” with Frampton’s top-tier vocals showcased).

rock’s earliest American heroes gets a well-deserved second look thanks to Omnivore Recordings’ newly-issued “Sneakers.” The North Carolina-spawned Sneakers (notable for a lineup that included Chris Stamey and Will Rigby who went on to greater fame with the dB’s, and Mitch Easter who would lead Let’s Active) had a relatively brief run, but the 11-song reissue features bonus tracks and more than enough evidence to see how the band’s influence stretched beyond record sales. Blending offbeat lyrics, driving garage rock, sweet vocal harmonies and intricate chord changes, the Sneakers’ groundbreaking approach shines on the driving “Ruby,” urgent “Condition Red,” the tender baroque ballad “Story of a Girl” and a rollicking cover of the Grass Roots’ “Let’s Live for Today.” Information: omnivorerecordings.com.

That may be the best way to describe the vast range of wonderful recordings that grace “Groove &amp; Grind: Rare Soul 19631973,” a collection of more than 100 tracks on a deluxe collection that stretches across four audio discs. From Don Gardner’s uptempo “My Baby Likes to Boogie” and the Jelly Beans’ lovely “I’m Hip to You” that kick off to disc 1, things never let up. Each of the discs has been grouped into specific categories: one disc looks at urban soul to emanate out of the five R&B capitals (just listen to Betty LaVette’s yearning “Almost”), while another disc focuses on vocal harmony groups to emerge in the footsteps of the Tempations. Southern soul is the focus of yet another disc, while funk is front and center on the 4th disc. The real kicker about this collection is very few of these soul 45s have ever been available on CD.

The Purple Room Celebrates Frank Sinatra’s 100th with Special Guest! By Desert Star Staff Palm Springs, CA – 10/1/2015 – Celebrating the 100th birthday of the late Frank Sinatra, The Purple Room has major events planned for December, including a rare appearance by Frank’s granddaughter, AJ Lambert, daughter of Nancy Sinatra. Lambert appears at The Purple Room on Thursday, December 10 at 7 pm to kick off a weekend celebration in honor of Frank’s 100th birthday on December 12th. Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack cronies used to hold court at The Purple Room, which was built in 1960; in fact, according to Purple Room co-owner Tony Marchese, Frank got engaged at the club to his wife Barbara. Raised in Los Angeles, AJ (Angela Jennifer) Lambert never doubted that she would join the family business. As a teen,

DesertSTAR

she taught herself to play bass and drums and performed with local bands while studying for a degree in screenwriting from the University of Southern California. AJ started her musical career as a founding member of the Los Angeles-based band Sleepington and later went on play in such bands as rock trio Rocket (with drummer Murph, of bands The Lemonheads and Dinosaur Jr); a new lineup of the seminal punk band The Homosexuals; Looker; and Here We Go Magic. After appearing with Rocket, AJ took a few years to embrace her familial roots and lived life as a jazz singer in Hoboken, New Jersey, her grandfather’s hometown. She produced her mother Nancy Sinatra’s self-titled 2004 record, co-writing the song, “Bossman.” Nancy and AJ performed it together as part

of a guest stint on the popular HBO series, “The Sopranos,” during the show’s final season. Like many artists before her, AJ was influenced by the jazz vocals of her grandfather and the 60’s pop of her mother. In 2009, she released her solo debut recording, simply entitled, “EP.” She is also well known for her work as a music supervisor, as well as producing or contributing to film soundtracks, and has been associated with such projects as Interstate 60: Episodes of the Road (2002) and Lee Daniels’ Shadowboxer (2005). AJ is a music consultant and host of the radio show “Third Generation” on Siriusly Sinatra Radio. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter. Tickets for AJ Lambert are $25 and available online at t http:// ajlambert.bpt.me. October 7, 2015

Following AJ Lambert’s appearance will be Palm Springs’ favorite Bobbie Eakes, doing a Frank Sinatra tribute show on Saturday, December 12th at 7 pm. Singer and actress Eakes got her first big break when she was signed to Epic Records with her all girl band Big Trouble. Produced by Grammy and Oscar winner Giorgio Moroder, Big Trouble was featured on MTV, American Bandstand and music festivals like the renowned Montreux Pop Festival. Shortly thereafter, Bobbie’s acting career took off she was cast in the role of Macy Alexander on “The Bold and The Beautiful.” She played Macy over a period of 14 years while continuing her singing career and, enjoying two double platinum CDs in Europe. Back in the US, Bobbie recorded a duet called “Loving

This Way” with Sony Nashville’s top country artist Collin Raye. Bobbie toured the country with Collin and performed in venues like The Greek in Los Angeles, and The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, which were special highlights of her career. While in Nashville, Bobbie also worked for GAC as host of the network’s Top 20 Country Countdown. In 2003, she moved to New York to portray Krystal on “All My Children,” garnering two Emmy nominations for Lead Actress. While in NY, Bobbie recorded a smooth jazz CD entitled “Something Beautiful,” which debuted at number 21 on the Smooth Jazz charts. Bobbie resides in Palm Springs, California, with her husband of 20 years, actor and writer David Steen.

every thousand years. The state got over two feet of rain this weekend, and Sunday was their wettest day in recorded history. The old record was set on July 9, 1959. “We’ve got enough supplies. We just want to be able to tell people where to get them and how to get them,” Governor Haley said at a press conference on Monday. Shewent on to say that schools and roads will be closed until they are verified to be safe. “What you’re going to see

is when all the water goes away, there’s going to be some serious damage to the roads.” Columbia Metropolitan Airport has so far seen 6.87 inches of rainfall, according to Mashable. Eleven aircraft, eight swift water rescue teams and 600 National Guardsmen are part of search and rescue efforts, the governor said on Sunday. So far more than 200 water rescues have taken place, the state’s emergency management agency said, according to CNN. Hurricane Joaquin also

brought devastation to the central and southern islands of the Bahamas on Friday and Saturday before continuing to rage off eastwards. A cargo ship, the El Faro, and its crew of 33 was reported missing near the Bahamas more than three days ago. The US Coast Guard reports that it sank during Hurricane Joaquin. Rescuers reported finding debris from the stricken vessel strewn across an area of 225 square miles, according to the Guardian.

4 students arrested over school massacre plot By Desert Star Staff Four students have been plotting to “shoot and kill as many people as possible” at their high school in Tuolumne, California, according to authorities. Police arrested the suspects just a day after a mass shooting at an Oregon college left nine people dead. The arrests of the students from Summerville High School, in Tuolumne, California, were made Friday after the investigators discovered a “detailed” plan of a school-shooting massacre. All suspects were apprehended at their homes on suspicion of conspiracy to commit an assault with deadly weapons. “The suspects’ plan was very detailed in nature and included names of wouldbe victims, locations and the methods in which the plan was to be carried out,” Tuolumne County Sheriff James Mele told reporters. The names of the suspects have not been released, but all four are male students at Summerville High School, where the alleged slaughter was intended to have taken place. All of the suspects confessed to having plotted the killing. According to police, their

investigation into the alleged conspiracy began Wednesday, after classmates told school staff that they overheard their fellow students plotting the shooting. The school then contacted the authorities. “Detectives located evidence verifying a plot to shoot staff and students at Summerville High School,” Mele said. “They were going to come on campus and shoot and kill as many people as possible on the campus.”

They were “pretty doggone close” to being able to carry out the attack, as four suspects were in the process of securing their murder weapons, Mele said. The sheriff blamed video games and bullying as a possible motive behind the students’ thirst to kill their fellow students and teachers. “Cyber-bullying is a problem in our society,” he said. “I think children today have a hard time trying to understand what is

reality and what is fiction.” The successful work by police in California to thwart the mass shooting came just a day after a mass shooting took place at Umpqua Community College, Oregon, United States. Christopher Harper-Mercer, a 26-year-old student, fatally shot nine people and injured nine others on the campus. He killed himself during a gun battle with police officers.

Ways to Nurture Early Childhood Development

By Desert Star Staff From the nursery to the playroom, playtime should be safe and fun. But experts say that beyond these considerations, these spaces should incorporate elements that promote early childhood development. “Infancy and preschool years are a crucial time of children’s lives, when they are developing new motor, cognitive, language and social skills,” says Dr. Lise Eliot, Early Brain Development Expert and Expert Panel Member at VTech, a world leader in ageappropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children. “Toys should provide multi-sensory experiences that engage and

DESERT HOT SPRINGS

cultivate a love of learning from a very young age, while delivering the developmental benefits appropriate for each child’s age and stage.” To encourage growth and enrich children’s play experiences, Dr. Eliot and VTech offer these tips: • Include books in the playroom and read often to your child. Doing so will demonstrate well before the school years begin that reading is not just for classroom, but also a recreational activity that can and should be done for fun. Look ahead by adding books that will be ageappropriate in the future. • Development happens extremely rapidly, so seek out

learning toys that grow with children. For example, the Sitto-Stand Ultimate Alphabet Train, which teaches letters, numbers, colors and vocabulary, can be used for floor play or a ride on. Once babies are on their feet, it can be transformed into a walker or a wagon that can be pulled, helping to build motor skills. • Kids are never too young to develop an appreciation for music. Babies can start by playing with tambourines, maracas, toy keyboards and other fun musical toys. Childsized instruments can improve hand-eye coordination and rhythm, and set kids up for lifelong musical inspiration. • Create safe zones in your October 7, 2015

house where kids can have free reign to play and explore. “The more opportunity children have for physical exertion and exploration, the better for the development of both their minds and bodies,” says Eliot. • Focus on giving preschool age kids a head start on their education. Provide them with fun ways to get started, such as the Write & Learn Creative Center, which features animated demonstrations to teach proper stroke order for uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as drawing activities to inspire skills and creativity in young artists. • Foster language and social skills by spending time each day playing together. The interactions you share are key to cognitive and emotional development as well as social and emotional growth. Research has proven that early two-way conversations with babies and young children are critical to their own speech and reading development. To encourage social skills and prepare young children for preschool, set up play dates with friends. For more playful ideas, parenting tips and information about early childhood development, visit www. vtechkids.com/milestones. By incorporating these elements and toys that nurture a range of critical cognitive and physical skills, you can make playtime not only fun, but functional. StatePoint)

Stunning world premiere musical/dance production

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Don’t be surprised to discover that there are less than a half-dozen scripted words of dialogue spoken in the entire production of “In Your Arms”, the World Premiere dance-theatremusical production that debuted at The Old Globe Theatre on September 24th.. This magical production, however, doesn’t need help of any kind in order to dazzle its audience. It’s an exhilarating and enthralling production as rich in visual imagery and emotion as any 1000 page Victor Hugo novel, and it’s all accomplished without a single word of dialogue. “In Your Arms” is the brainchild of brilliant choreographer/ director Christopher Gattelli and Broadway producer Jennifer Manocherian. Serendipity often plays a key part on how theatrical ideas become creative realities. In 2007 a chance phone call from producer Manocherian to dancer/director Gattelli led to a collaboration for a then unnamed dance show to be developed. Gestation periods for new show ideas can take up to years before giving birth. Money, performer availability and schedules, and other variables always impact the project. In the case of “In Your Arms” the co-conceivers bit the bullet and forged ahead anyway, contacting playwrights and writers asking them to create stories that would then become a series of free flowing vignettes; running less than ten minutes each and performed by a company of toptier dancers. Ten of Broadways finest and renowned writers made the cut with stories they wanted to share using just music and dance. The evening opens with a classically performed ‘Prologue’ danced by Spencer Clark and Lyrica Woodruff, as the starcrossed young lovers in ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ “Love” is a leitmotif thread that is creatively woven and embedded into the tapestry of love won, and love lost, as danced by the company in all vignettes. Broadway veteran and dance legend Donna McKechnie leads off the evening’s signature number “In Your Arms”, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and performed with the company. Let me list, in no particular order, the ten authors and the titles of their pieces brought to life by the gifted artists that comprise the company. “The Lover’s Jacket” by Nilo Cruz features high-energy Flamenco dancers and lovers Glenda Sol Koeraus and Oscar Valero who become separated by political events set in Franco’s Spain. If there is one dance that stirs the blood and the emotions to a boiling point; flamenco has to be it. The vignette just sizzled. “Lowdown Messy Shame” by Carrie Fisher is a screw-ball www.desertstarweekly.com

comedy (naturally) tale danced by Jess LeProtto and Samantha Sturm with Jenn Harris and the company. “Love with the Top Down” by Alfred Uhry vibrantly celebrates young love and jalopies in Midwest America by perky Haley Podschun and energetic Brandon Stimson. “A Wedding Dance” by Lynn Nottage takes place in Africa where two lovers: Marija Juilette Abney and Adesola Osakalumni exchange their wedding vows partly performed with an intricate shadow sequence; then seen in full creative choreography along with the company. “Artists and Models, 1929” written by Douglas Carter Beane, is a throwback number to the famous ‘drag show performers’ of the roaring 20’s; who let their hair down and camped it up at their annual glitzy A & M Ball. Jonathan Sharp and Ryan Steele along with the company take charge with some fancy footwork. “Life Long Love” by Marsha Norman is a bittersweet tale of three lovers who part only to meet again. The poignant vignette features dancers Henry Byalikov and lithe Karine Plantadit with Stephen Bienskie who, not only recall their memories through dance but now realize each must make a difficult choice for their futures. “White Snake” by David Henry Hwang, is an ‘East meets West’ vignette that is gracefully, lyrically, and traditionally danced by Alex Michael Stoll and Erica Wong. “Intergalactic Planetary” written by Rajiv Joseph is a futuristic tale about an astronaut who meets an Alien female on a mission to a distant planet; who then desires to get closer to find out more about this statuesque creature. The space odyssey dance number is amusingly performed by Claire Camp and Jeremy Davis. One will have difficulty in finding a more exciting and energy-filled 11 o’clock spot than “The Dance Contest” written by Christopher Durang, with lyrics by Durang. The number is a beautiful, creative, exercise in precision movement with style and flair as the dancers perform the various prescribed genres required in all dance competitions. The pairs are: Stephen Bienskie and Jenn Harris, with Henry Byalikov and Haley Podshun, and the company. The penultimate vignette “Sand Dancing” by Terrence McNally is a sweet tribute to growing older, but still remaining true to one’s passion and one’s life long lover. George Chakiris and Donna McKechnie perform this tender vignette with the company. The signature number “In Your Arms” is reprised by McKecknie, with the entire company; bringing to a close a memorable and mesmerizing

George Chakiris and Donna McKechnie (center) with the cast in Terrence McNally’s vignette “Sand Dancing Photo by Carol Rosegg. evening of music and dance that produced a standing ovation and several curtain calls. Theatre in all its forms is a collaborative team effort. A scintillating production like “In Your Arms” would be impossible to stage without the music which provides the dancers the precise timing they need to execute their steps and routines. The pit orchestra under the baton of Music Director Steven Malone

and Orchestrator Michael Starobin, play major roles in making the onstage magic happen. The creative team led by the brilliant and innovative choreography/director Gattelli has Scenic Designer Derek McLane, render a large dance area that Lighting Designer Donald Holder, generously illuminates in order to see the costumes of Jess Goldstein. One

gets and appreciates the wide technical ‘tapestry effect’ that fills the stage with movement, color, and enchantment. This astonishing and dazzling production performs on The Old Globe’s Shiley stage and runs through October 25, 2015. And by the way, one doesn’t have to a dancer to enjoy the production. Don’t miss it.
