“I’m. Back.” Fans rose up, even before he came on stage and continued standing throughout most of his performance. Story and Photos by Pat Krause Fantasy Springs Resort Casino had another hit event on Sunday night, Sept 6th with the Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar, and The Circle band. The Casino was abuzz with a capacity filled center of Hagar’s fans. Hagar has been a top performer for over 40 years and is celebrating his 68th birthday. Hagar is a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer along with being an entrepreneur and author. This man
is so multi talented it’s no wonder that he has so many fans that wanted to see this rock and roll legend perform. His performance Included members of The Circle band, Michael Anthony, Vic Johnson and Jason Bingham. Sammy Hagar did not disappoint his fans as he came on stage, with “I’m. Back.” Fans rose up, even before he came on stage and continued standing throughout most of his
performance. Fans were waving their hands and raising their glasses to his songs. Thunderous applause was the norm after most of his songs. His flair for the stage has been little equal. He roams the stage tossing his red curly mane of hair easily. His music is loud like a typical rocker and his song, Why Can’t There Be Love, is one of my favorites. The former front man for Van Halen is also a CA native going to Fontana High School.

JoAnn Worley at the Purple Room
Story and Photos by Pat Krause One of the best hot spots for entertainment is the Purple Room in Palm Springs. JoAnn Worley from the famous TV show, Rowan and Martins, Laugh In, made a return visit to the Purple Room with more of the show’s humor and song. JoAnn performed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the Labor Day weekend to a filled restaurant of adoring fans. Dick Taylor introduced JoAnn as she stepped on stage with her signature large roses, long strands of pearls and feathered boa. Guests enjoyed a scrumptious dinner before her performance in this most intimate of venues. A new sound system and two large-screen TVs enhanced the performances. Diners in the back across the room could enjoy the show watching these TVs while sipping exotically named drinks. The Cleopatra, Bacall, Dean Martini, The Sammy, The Mommie Dearest and the Purple Orchid bring fun names to specially made drinks. Guests could order either small plates or large dinners from the menu. JoAnn showed videos of some of the TV shows in which she starred, which included some
of the funniest clips of Laugh In. She was part of the game show where a contestant won $10,000 because of her help. These videos brought back wonderful memories. In between videos, she sang songs from that era. She told stories about her career in show business that brought laughter from the crowd. She still has an amazing voice and probably would not even need a microphone as she hits the high notes. Every now and then, she would say BORING from the Laugh In show. She has been a star on Broadway, in movies and TV with her amazing talent. It was a busy night on Friday as The Martini Kings followed the JoAnn Worley show for those that wanted late-night entertainment. This group has been performing for many years and is well known having been on the Oscars and Emmys stages plus performing with other famous stars. There are a lot of upcoming shows with Susan Anton performing on Friday the 11th and Sat. the 12th with dinner at 5:30 and show at 7:45. She will perform at a Sunday Brunch at 11:30 and show at 1:00. Susan Anton was a hit as a star in the Palm Springs Follies and a show not to be missed.

When you are about to retire, take into account the emotions of being needed, having a daily purpose, losing daily work relationships and friendships, and the adjustment that your spouse may have to make by having you at home all day. The paradox of thinking young and staying active separates us as we age. Our brain actually controls much of the success of the way we live in aging and retirement. If you have always been a person who lives life as it comes, then you may age more quickly. Age is a state of mind. Those who desire to stay young and active will create new challenges incorporating the knowledge of their working years and gearing interests toward things they previously did not have time to pursue. It is important to re-establish goals and a meaningful activity list. This may be a simple switch for the “goal orientated” person, but those who have not been that way in their lives, should establish an overview of what their typical weekly activities are.

life looks like in retirement. I tell them to multiply that day by 30 days, 180 days, 365 days and then of course 10 to 20 years. It’s at this time they get the ‘aha’ moment of retirement not being all cracked up to what they thought it would be. A good beginning is to find a hobby. The thing that you have always dreamed to doing and never had time to include in your daily working routine is now becoming a new goal and sense of reward. Consider networking with like-minded individuals to explore other options and join clubs where you can share your interests. Staying connected with your community and finding ways of giving back and paying forward are the most rewarding ways to enjoy your new found freedom.
By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL California is in the fourth year of drought, and even with predictions of an approaching heavy “El Nino” rain season, it may take years before state water resources return to normal. The Legislature last year passed several laws requiring that associations let landscaping die during a declared drought emergency (Civil Code 4735(c)), permit drought tolerant landscaping of common interest development yards (Civil Code 4735(a)(1)) and not require pressure washing (Civil Code 4736). On September 5th, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 349 as an urgency measure, meaning that it becomes law immediately.
After vetoes of artificial turf legislation in 2010 by thenGovernor Schwarzenegger and again in 2011 by Governor Brown, drought concerns apparently have now overridden other expressed environmental concerns regarding degradation of plastic turf products. AB 349 expanded Civil Code 4735, and now, in addition to not banning drought-resistant landscaping, associations may not prohibit or impose conditions which ”have the effect of prohibiting the use of artificial turf or any other synthetic surface that resembles grass.” (Civil Code 4735(a)(2)). Does this mean associations must allow any green surface, or allow purple artificial turf (yes, it is available)? Hopefully homeowners and boards will be reasonable and agree that purple turf does not “resemble grass” as to color, just as a green painted concrete front yard does not “resemble grass” as to texture. Clearly, the law allows an association to pass reasonable specifications of approved artificial grass installations, so long as the restrictions are not so strict that they make the use of artificial grass impossible. Associations would be well September 9, 2015
advised to begin the process of adopting rules which allow the reasonable installation of artificial grass and homeowners should apply for approval before installing, to avoid unnecessary conflict. Such rules should also require the owner to periodically sweep or otherwise clean the surface of dirt. If your association CC&Rs requires live grass yards, this law renders that provision unenforceable. Association rules are adopted by the board, following the rulemaking process prescribed by Civil Code Sections 4340-4370. Although some may argue that the emergency statute creates the need for an emergency rule, the situation is not an “emergency as defined by Civil Code 4360(d). Others may argue that the 30 day notice process is not required because this rule change is required by law, under Civil Code 4355(b)(4), but the safe bet is to give 30 day notice and adopt the new rules in open session. Homeowners desiring to install plastic grass should be patient and give their board a reasonable period of time to consult with the manager and develop reasonable standards, while at the same time hopefully
boards will diligently prepare for such applications by investigating the available products and prepare appropriate rules. Once the drought emergency is declared ended by the Governor, may the association require artificial grass to be removed? No, Section 4735 has a new subpart “d” which states that owners who install water saving landscape measures may not be required to remove them after the emergency ends. So, the plastic grass or xeriscape may remain even when the reservoirs are, some day hopefully soon, full again.

Who’s Going To Make The Playoffs: An NFL Season Preview By Julie Buehler PALM DESERT, Ca. - Every year since 1990, at least 4 teams make the playoffs one year that missed the year before. 2015 is no different. We’ll see teams that missed out last year, in it this year. The AFC division winners will repeat, while the Wildcards are new to the party and the NFL’s longest playoff drought comes to an end. Both teams that were in the Super Bowl will be back in the hunt, but there’s a changing of the guard in the NFC South (no surprise) and the NFC North (big surprise). I’m buying the running game in Philly and selling it in the Big-D. And after perhaps the most tumultuous off-season in franchise history, the Niners will shock the NFL with a return to the playoffs behind Jim Tomsula, Carlos Hyde, and this guy named Navarro Bowman who is a LOCK for Comeback Player of The Year. Here are my season predictions...
franchise established one of the NFL’s most historic reputations built on “The Steel Curtain� and sending Dick LeBeau to the Hall of Fame thanks to brilliant defensive strategy, it seems totally ridiculous that they’re going in this direction. But they are. They’ll put up a lot of points and fantasy owners will LOVE them so much, even those ugly bumblebee uniforms will get a pass. But this new look Steelers will resemble the Peyton Manning led Colts and a healthy Matthew Stafford led Lions: Lots of stats, not a lot of Super Bowls. Meanwhile in Indy, the Colts have added veteran leadership on offense and get Robert Mathis back (eventually). The Colts will benefit from playing in a conference in which every team has glaring deficiencies and they have the fewest. The Broncos will benefit from the fact they have Peyton Manning. I’m not a fan of the way this team was built. Too many “me� guys, not enough “heartbeat� guys. But there’s a
Philledelphia Eagles
presented AND the defense is healthy and back and even injured last year, they allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns in the NFL. I thought about the Chargers, but their lines, offensive and defensive, are still a concern and I’m looking forward to watching
Quarterback Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts AFC Division Winners: Patriots: While I picked them to win the Super Bowl last year, I did that based on their additions in the secondary adding a special physicality and taking pressure off a linebacking corp that saw multiple injuries. This year, they’re making the playoffs because of Tom Brady, but their defense lost a lot of it’s grit. It feels like the Steelers are about to embark on a fun experiment called “What Wins Rings: Offense Or Defense.� Of course after a
lot, A LOT, of talent. So they’ll win. Wildcards: Bills, Chiefs. That’s right! Tyrod Taylor is THE man who ends THE drought. Well, LeSean McCoy, Sammy Watkins and that defensive line will also have something to do with it too, but the NFL’s longest playoff drought will end this year. The Chiefs are a wildcard team because they have a guy in Jeremy Maclin that can actually catch the football, a solution to the problems Dwayne Bowe

up. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it will. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assembled some immense talent on offense, Sam Bradford could have a breakout year and their defense is solid. This is a good football team, they just need to execute week in and week out and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a bye week in January. Eagles
will win the East. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going with the Vikings to win the North. The Packers defense is a massive question mark. Yes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clay Matthews, no, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough. And without Jordy Nelson, that offense will be good, but not great. The Vikings w e r e closing the g a p l a s t year without an angry Adrian Peterson. The Dan Quinn effect in Atlanta will have the Falcons in the post season. And the Seahawks would have to have a major catastrophe to miss the playoffs after adding the touchdown machine known as Jimmy Graham. Wildcards: Packers get in over the Cards, Lions and Saints because they have Aaron Rodgers. Niners get in because their defense, despite losing Patrick Willis, Chris Borland and Justin Smith to retirement still has Navarro Bowman, Antoine Bethea and Jarryd Hayne might be the breakout NFL star of the year.

California Third in Nation in Creating Clean Energy Jobs By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO - California is third in the nation in creating green jobs in the second quarter of 2015, behind Texas and Nevada. The ranking comes in a new clean energy jobs report from a national nonpartisan b u s i n e s s g ro u p c a l l e d Environmental Entrepreneurs, or E2. E2 Executive Director Bob Keefe says the Golden State has long been a leader in smart, clean energy and environmental policy. “And it’s paying off for the state,” says Keefe. “In the second quarter alone in California, we saw about 1,200 clean energy job announcements – a lot of solar of course but also we also saw manufacturing jobs,
at an electric-vehicle maker in Moreno Valley.” E2 tracks clean energy job announcements quarterly and the latest report shows the country added more than 10,000 green jobs from April to June, part of about 40 projects across 22 states. Keefe says California is positioning itself for an even bigger clean-energy boom by raising the state’s goals for the percentage of energy that comes from renewables, which currently stands at 33 percent. “The Legislature is debating new legislation that would California added 1,200 new clean energy jobs, mostly in solar, wind and manufacturing, making it third in the nation for increase California’s renewable green job growth.

Babysitting device will have your dog taking selfies By Desert Star Staff Creators call it “the first smartphone for pets.” The intelligent robotic babysitter that’s now being funded on Indiegogo does a lot of things, from putting your worried mind at ease, to teaching your dog to take selfies! The PetBot gadget even has facial recognition that instantly knows when your pet has approached. The device, using “petificial intelligence”, allows you to record your voice to call your pets and have them run to the device, where an automated camera will take their selfie and the dispenser then release a treat. The gadget can be accessed from your Apple or Android phone, which
is programmed to allow you to control the amount of snacks released and to stream live video or take selfies – even when you’re not expecting any. There are also scheduled activities to help keep your pet on track and prevent them from wandering off doing something crazy to the house, or simply to give them a sense of regularity and certainty that a snack will jump out at this or that time; it can even play soothing music to calm them if need’s be. And if the little ball of fur – be they a dog or a cat – has a preference, just record their favorite sounds. The gadget promises also to notify the owner if the pet barks
too much or is feeling otherwise agitated, thanks to the bark recognition feature. The gizmo isn’t particularly expensive. A single unit with the iOS or Android app will set you back $149. The creators require some $80,000 to get production going. An early bird price will, however, cost you an extra $50. They want to ship it by next year. “Help us make pet care smarter!” goes the tag line. The creators first tried to get things going in 2013, but didn’t manage. But they didn’t have “petificial intelligence” then – the selfie function and some other features were missing.

Put Dad On List For Prostate Cancer Screenings
By Desert Star Staff Henry Schein Cares, the global corporate social responsibility program of Henry Schein, Inc. (NASDAQ:HSIC), has partnered once again this year with Integrated Medical Foundation (IMF) and the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA) to help raise awareness among families across the country about the importance of putting prostate cancer screenings on the calendar for the men in their lives. September – back-toschool time for the children of many families – is also National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, which focuses the nation’s attention on this potentially deadly disease. “We anticipate that there will be approximately 220,000 new diagnoses of prostate cancer this year, and about 28,000 people will lose their lives,” said Dr. Deepak A. Kapoor, President, Advanced Urology Centers of New York; Clinical Associate Professor of Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; Chairman of
Health Policy and Immediate Past-President of LUGPA; Founder and Past-President of Integrated Medical Foundation. “Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to remind those closest to us – fathers, grandfathers, sons, husbands and friends – to speak with their doctor to determine if prostate cancer screening is right for them. Together, we can help generations of men continue to live happy, healthy lives.” According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer for men in America, with one out of every seven U.S. men diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. Additionally, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer, resulting in the deaths of about 1 in 38 men. “ P ro m o t i n g w e l l n e s s and raising awareness about important health issues, especially illness and disease that can be prevented through
early detection, is a key component of the Henry Schein Cares mission,” said Dave McKinley, President of Henry Schein Medical. “As the nation gets ready during September to prepare our children to return to the classroom, we are pleased to partner with IMF and LUGPA to educate the public about the benefits of speaking with their doctors about whether a prostate cancer screening is right for them.” In honor of the observance, Henry Schein, Inc., the world’s largest provider of health care products and services to officebased dental, animal health and medical practitioners, will support IMF and LUGPA with a series of communication efforts to heighten awareness among practitioners and the public about the importance of early detection in the fight against prostate cancer. Tactics include the distribution of educational materials to practitioners, as well as public service announcements. In addition, Henry Schein will support IMF’s “Pies Against Prostates”
campaign, an awareness project, which encourages men and women to post on social media channels videos of themselves getting pies in
their faces and challenging others to do the same in order to support greater awareness about prostate cancer.
By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Salmon are safe for now because a federal judge ruled this week against two Central Valley Water Districts that wanted to stop reservoir water from being released into local rivers. The San Luis and DeltaMendota Water Authority and Westlands Water District have been suing the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation since 2013 - each year asking for a preliminary injunction to prevent the bureau from releasing water from Trinity Reservoir in Northern California. Jan Hasselman, an attorney from the environmental law firm Earthjustice, said the extra water is crucial to preventing a massive fish kill such as the one in 2002.
“In the last few years, that has meant releasing some additional water from Trinity Reservoir in late summer when the chinook are migrating to prevent the disease outbreaks that occur with low-flow high-temperature conditions,” Hasselman said. The water districts, which serve farming operations in the Central Valley, argue that the bureau decided to release the water from the reservoir without going through the proper channels or doing an Environmental Impact Statement. But the judge said they were not likely to win on the merits of those claims and denied the injunction. Glen Spain, northwest regional director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s
Associations, said the drought is forcing the bureau to make hard choices on where to send the water. “The balance of interests, the judge said, really is in favor of protecting the fisheries,” Spain said. “The Westlands Water District is a junior water rights holder - they’re last in line. What they’re really trying to do is grab water from people who are first in line.” T h e b u re a u s t a r t e d releasing the water last week and will continue through midSeptember. The water districts now have to decide whether to proceed with their lawsuit. The decision is online at earthjustice.org.

Gray Wolf Returns to California
By Desert Star Staff MOUNT SHASTA, Calif. The wolf pack is back - literally! A pack of gray wolves has been discovered in California for the first time since they were hunted almost to extinction about 90 years ago. Trail cameras recently caught sight of what’s known as the Shasta pack in Siskiyou County near Mount Shasta. Pamela Flick with the nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife says the gray wolf has been under federal protection since 1973 but was just listed as endangered in California last year, making it illegal to hunt or harass the animals. “The Shasta pack is known to have at least five pups and the alpha male and female,” says Flick. “The presence of a whole pack affirms that wolves know that there is suitable habitat in our state and are already using it. Grey wolves are back for good.” The wolves are believed to have spread from existing packs in Oregon. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been working with

stakeholders in conservation, livestock production and hunting interests to develop a California Wolf Plan, which will be released for public comment by the end of the year. Kimberly Baker is with the nonprofit Environmental Protection Information Center. “I look forward to a day where
we have viable populations of wolves and wolves and humans are coexisting and sharing the landscape together,” says Baker. Flick says her group is working with ranchers to make the repopulation of wolves in California go smoothly. “Defenders of Wildlife has a lot of experience in working with
nonlethal tools to reduce conflicts between wolves and livestock so that they can live in harmony and share the same landscape,” she says. In the future, Fish and Game biologists plan to briefly capture one of the adult wolves so the animal can be fitted with a tracking device and then released.
Rabid Bat Encounters in Riverside County
By Carlos Herrera RIVERSIDE COUNTY Human contacts with rabid bats are becoming a concern in Riverside County. According to the Riverside County Department of Public Health and Riverside County Animal Services, there were three rabid bat incidents in the county in the month of August. Two of those incidents happened last week. One of the more bizarre incidents happened in the
Coachella Valley. A woman suffered a bat bite to one of her fingers, while she was visiting the valley. A bat flew into her truck’s open window and bit her finger. Another incident occurred in Lake Elsinore. Public health officials say up to eight people were exposed to a rabid bat. The incident is still under investigation by county health officials who are trying to determine exactly how many people were exposed. In Moreno Valley, a woman
came in contact with a bat when it flew into her garage and then into her hair. Health experts say being exposed to bats can be very dangerous. “Rabies is a serious illness that can result in a death in humans, therefore, the need is to ensure they seek medical care and get evaluated for post exposure rabies treatment,”County of Riverside Director of Disease Control Barbara Cole said. The emphasis is on people being
aware that contact with bats could potentially present a health issue, she added Rabies in humans is rare, but the most common cases are a result of people coming in contact with a rabid bat. Health experts recommend if you see a bat or any animal that appears sick, do not touch the animal. If you do have contact, they recommend to see a doctor immediately. Source KMIR
West Nile virus detected in Bermuda Dunes Virus activity continues in the Valley - Residents urged to take precautions against mosquito bites By Desert Star Staff INDIO, Ca, Four samples of mosquitoes collected this week have tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV). One sample came from a trap in Bermuda Dunes near the corner of Lima Hall Road and Starlight Lane. This is the first time this year that WNV has been detected in Bermuda Dunes. The other samples, which tested positive for the virus, were collected from Highway 111 and El Dorado Drive in Indian Wells, and the west shore of the Salton Sea off of Buchanan Street. This brings the total number of WNV-positive mosquito samples this year in the Coachella Valley to 91, making it the second highest number of positive samples detected in the Valley in the last decade. There were 105 positive samples detected at the same time in 2012. Seven mosquito samples tested positive for Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLE) this week www.desertstarweekly.com
PALM SPRINGS Free Family Law and
in the Mecca and North Shore areas, bringing the number of SLE-positive samples this year to 21. All samples were tested at the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District lab. “West Nile virus is still present in our community and we urge people to remain vigilant in protecting themselves and their families from mosquito bites,” said Jill Oviatt, Public Information Manager. “Mosquitoes capable of transmitting the disease normally bite from late evening to the early morning hours, so people need to have appropriate protection during this time to reduce their chances of getting what can be a very serious disease.” District staff will post disease notification signs in affected communities to alert residents. Staff will also set additional traps, increase larval surveillance to identify sources, and carry out larval and adult control as necessary in an effort to reduce
the number of mosquitoes and interrupt further transmission of disease. Residents are encouraged to be careful not to create standing water sources in their yards or irrigation runoff into street drains, and to be on the lookout for standing water sources and report them to the District. Residents are also encouraged to avoid mosquito bites by following simple personal protection measures. Protect yourself from mosquito bites: Apply Insect Repellent. Use a repellent with DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535 according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months of age and should be used in concentrations of 30% or less on older children. Lemon eucalyptus oil should September 9, 2015
not be used on children under three years of age. Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours. Dawn and dusk are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities during that time. Clothing Can Help Reduce Mosquito Bites. Wear longsleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors to help keep mosquitoes away from skin. Mosquito-Proof Your Home Drain Standing Water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places for mosquitoes to breed by draining/discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty unused flowerpots and wading pools. Change water in birdbaths and pet bowls at least weekly. Install or Repair Screens. Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly-fitting screens on all of your windows and doors.

On September 3, 2015, unknown thieves orchestrated an art theft estimated at tens of thousands of dollars — the largest in Coachella Valley — at Elena Bulatova Fine Art, and police are seeking information regarding the incident. The paintings were loaded on Wednesday and locked in the new black trailer behind Elena Bulatova Studio in Backstreet Art District in Palm Springs. The trailer was prepared to be going on a regular weekly trip to San Diego frame shop to frame all art and trailer itself would be wrapped with colorful significant logo of the gallery. A

new black trailer 7 by 16 feet was purchased just a couple of weeks ago in the middle of August for transportation of paintings for Elena Bulatova Fine Art. On Thursday noon, it was discovered that trailer went missing with a lot of valuable work of art inside. Elena Bulatova and Efi Mashiah, founders and owners of Elena Bulatova Fine Art, which opened in 2013, said they’ve never had something like this happen before and that the team is devastated by the “unprecedented event.” “We are very upset about
art works that disappeared,” the artists told. “Efi worked for about six months on these paintings, and the whole thing lasted for less than 24 hours. We don’t know who would want to steal large weighty paintings with 8000-15000 screws in them that are so massive that require 2-3 people to lift them. Paintings stolen include new abstracts of Elena Bulatova created this summer and screw art of Efi Mashiah. The police investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the theft can call police or gallery directly 760-600-0417. www.desertstarweekly.com
Fall Paradise in Twisp…Yes, Twisp
The Twisp River Suites in Washington has sixteen luxurious suites, three are dedicated to those traveling with their pets. Image Courtesy of The Twisp River Suites

By Pamela Price Fall foliage in Twisp, Washington is a kaleidoscope of autumn’s colors custommade for hiking and outdoor exploration. Twisp, in the Methow Valley between two of America’s largest wilderness areas, the Paysatan and Sawtooth, is home to Twisp River Suites, a resort with luxurious touches in each of its sixteen suites, from Memory Foam beds to a convenient pair of reading glasses. You just want to make yourself at home at this off the beaten path destination with modern comfort’s galore. It took Joe Marver, a Minnesotan with a flair for hospitality and attention to detail, to put this sixteen suite ‘hotel’ into the limelight, especially for those seeking to blend the great outdoors with art, culture, healthy dining and long walks on hiking trails framed by the colorful displays of fall foliage.
And it’s a haven for those traveling with their pets, as well. Three spacious suites are designed for those with heir pets in tow, from comfy beds to enclosed spaces for their safety. Fly fishing, hiking and biking and river rafting through class III-IV rapids aside, the Twisp Suites is also well-located behind the Twist River Pub amidst a populace dominated by artisans, musicians and craftspeople. Suites enjoy private decks overlooking the River enhanced by deep soaker bathtubs and nature-inspired bath amenities. September and October mean fall foliage, a canvas bursting with autumn’s lush palate of orange and bronze. And in the midst of it all, you’ll find Marver, owner of the Twist River Suites who loves every minute of fine tuning this comfortable hideaway into treasured destination. Trip Advisor reveals 300 “excellent
ratings” with laudatory comments such as “home away from home in Northern Cascades” to “loved it” and “paradise in Twisp.” Marver fell in love with this friendly hamlet bringing into the community his flair for hospitality, comfort cuisine and the arts. Growing up in St. Paul, MN means he is familiar with the four seasons, especially those long, deep freeze winters. “We are open year-round with activities nonstop,” he says. On Friday evenings he sings accompanied by a classical guitarist, and on October 8th he has an Oktoberfest party planned. During the devastating fires that swept through the Twisp, Wintrop and Methow Valley area in August, Marver accommodated firefighters and residents who were in danger. He also directs guests to the weekly Farmers Market on Saturday, which is limited
USA’S Timothy WANG and Lily ZHANG have claimed the respective Men’s & Women’s Singles gold at the 2015 ITTFNorth America Championships that concluded today, 7 September 2015 in Westchester, New York. To p s e e d e d i n t h e tournament, WANG had a taste of sweet revenge against Canada’s Pierre-Luc THERIAULT, prevailing 4-1 (11-7, 12-10, 3-11, 11-9, 11-6) to win his first ITTF-North American title. After his victory, the 24 year old shared: “I lost to Pierre-Luc at the Pan American Games earlier this year, so I wanted to get my revenge, and luckily I pulled through.” “I finished second for a couple of times at the ITTF-North America Championships, so it felt really good to finally win it. I was telling myself to stay aggressive and bring in my game, because if I play passive, it’s not going to take me anywhere. I played a lot
better than expected today, my backhand was on fire,” added the newly crowned champion. The Women’s Singles gold medal match was an reenact of the 2015 ITTF-North America Cup final showdown between archrivals ZHANG Mo (CAN) and Youth Olympics Bronze medalist Lily ZHANG (USA). The table was turned this time round is New York, as Lily ZHANG remarkably came back from 0-3 down to win a dramatic final 4-3 (8-11, 5-11, 7-11, 12-10, 11-5, 11-4, 11-8). After her match, a thrilled Lily ZHANG shared “This is just the second time I have beaten her, and this is definitely one of the most exciting and nervewreckingmatches in my life.” The Canadian team put up a good fight against Team USA in the Men’s & Women’s Team events, but the Americans proved to be just too strong. In a bitterly fought Men’s Team Final that lasted over 3.5 hours, Team
USA was able to stage a huge comeback from 0-2 down to win the Team title 3-2. On the team victory, Team USA coach Stefan FETH stated: “I’m really happy for the guys, they practiced really hard to perform well. It just didn’t start well, still happy we turn it around and in the end we won, it’s what matters and counts.”

And then there are three Pet Suites with a private fence and courtyard. “I realized how important pets are when I received seven Inquiries in a single week from potential guests who said they would not make a reservation unless their dogs were welcome! I took that seriously,” says Marver. “Now there’s a suite for small or medium breed pets, another accommodating two adults and two pets and the largest, ideal for three adults and two pets. There is a charge for one’s pet, per night. ” Having breakfast here is another reason to spend a few days. The breakfast menu features home made gluten-free
casseroles showcasing local ingredients to the max. “Today we served fruit parfaits, homemade bread pudding, vegetable quiche and localized Blue Star coffee,” Marver said. Getting to this postage stamp paradise is worth the journey. The drive from Spokane International Airport (GEG) is three hours. The SeattleTacoma International Airport has flights to Wenatchee, WA, From there the drive to Twisp is 90 minutes. Rates during fall foliage began at $139.

Martell Celebrates 300 Years Of Craftsmanship
Martell - Tricentenaire Chanteloup (big room)
Martell - Tricentenaire Chanteloup Louis Bertignac By Desert Star Staff COGNAC, France – To celebrate its 300th anniversary, it was essential for the Martell House to celebrate its origins in Cognac, and in particular in the Château de Chanteloup, which has been refurbished for the event. Over 2,500 winegrowers, distillers and other partners from the Cognac region received their invitations from Martell employees, who delivered them personally to mark their special relationship. For a month ahead of the event, they criss-crossed the Charente countryside in Martell branded trucks to handdeliver the invitations to partners. “This is a very special year for Martell, which is celebrating three centuries of cognacmaking and close bonds with the people of Cognac. We wanted to invite all the local partners with whom we have nurtured a truly remarkable partnership for nearly ten generations, and
I sincerely hope that this special relationship will continue for many generations to come,” said César Giron, Chairman and CEO of Martell House. Spectacular staging for an experience rich in sense & history Guests were treated to a spectacular surprise at the start of the evening when two fighter jets roared across the Cognac sky, followed by three planes from the “Cartouche Doré”, a squadron of seasoned flight instructors from the French air force flight academy in Cognac. The squadron is considered the “little brother” of the famed Patrouille de France aerobatics team, which put on a demonstration for guests during the 20 May event in Versailles. Two Cap Ten aerobatic planes then wrote out the number “300” in white smoke before dropping three parachutists – carrying some flags marked with Martell colours – who joined the guests and presented César Giron &
Alexandre Ricard with bottles of the limited edition cognac given to guests as a gift. This exceptional 40-minute airshow –a tribute to a shared history anchored in savoir-faire, excellence and passion – was crowned by a stunning fireworks display to set the stage for a grandiose evening in an amazing setting. In an enchanting decor reminding of Versailles, guests had the chance to enjoy cocktails created especially for Martell’s 300th anniversary by Thierry Hernandez (head barman at the famous Plaza Athenée). The 3,200 guests shared a customcrafted culinary experience
developed in collaboration with the Château de Chanteloup’s chefs Eric Danger and Pascal Nebout. The menu featured delectable gastronomical specialties from the region with an emphasis on local seasonal products, as well as contemporary takes on recipes dating from 1715. After being warmly thanked for their contribution to Martell, they danced late into the night. The concert was punctuated by the unexpected arrival of French singer-songwriter Louis Bertignac (a founding member of the group Telephone), a friend of the House who couldn’t resist a chance to play several of his hits.
Because the Tricentenaire of Martell is above all an opportunity to celebrate 300 years of craftsmanship and excellence, each guest received an exclusive limited edition cognac, a blend of fifteen eaux-de-vie from the five main crus, spanning the last three centuries. “The blending of these 15 eaux-de-vie, which then completed their ageing in barrels made from 300-yearold oak, spotlights our savoirfaire, our commitment, and our attachment to a House that has let us continue a fabulous story that began in 1715.” Notes Martell Cellar Master Benoît Fil.

FILM ‘Saint Laurent’—Fashion Icon and Artist BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN
‘Saint Laurent’ What do you think Walt Disney, Vincent Van Gogh and fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent had in common? One answer is, they were all innovators with artistic vision and talent. A second shared element in their lives is the fact that each was aided by the financial prowess of someone close to them. Disney, for example, was able to give life to “Snow White,” “Dumbo,” “Bambi” and countless other animated fairytale character’s thanks to his brother Roy. Tortured and often penniless, Van Gogh was given monetary and emotional strength from his brother Theo and the significant stabilizer for Yves Saint Laurent was his business partner, Pierre Berge. Roy, Theo and Pierre made it possible for each of these gifted, yet often troubled geniuses to release their unique creations into the universe. Now all three artists are gone, but their
undiminished legacy lives on. In Sony Pictures, Classics “Saint Laurent,” director and co-writer Bertrand Bonello brings the designer to life, focusing on ten pivotal years in his life—1967 to 1976. The film was featured in “Entertainment Weeklies’ popular ‘Must List” and was France’s official submission for Best Foreign Language Film for the 87th Academy Awards. It was an official selection at the 2014 Cannes and New York Film Festivals, was a 2015 Cesar Award winner for Best Costume Design and was nominated for numerous other Cesar Awards including Best Film, Best Actor (Gaspard Ulliel) and Best Supporting Actors (Jeremie Renier, Louis Garrel). In the film the viewer gets the chance to examine the color and lush textures of St. Laurent’s extraordinary life and see what it was like to

be a part of the glamour and decadence of the European Fashion world at that time. St. Laurent was born in Algeria in 1936 and died 72 years later of brain cancer in Paris. But in between that time line he led an amazing, often times decadent life as one of the world’s greatest designers. His world was filled with success, defeat, glamour, drugs, booze and art. His desire to design began in his youth when he created paper figures and dressed them in lovely gowns of his own deign. For his youthful inspirations, he devoured his mother’s fashion magazines. He was shy and often bullied, but eventually he, like the proverbial butterfly, emerged from his cocoon to create haute couture fashion designs that dazzled the world. They were innovative, classy and classic. Throughout his life, he gazed upon the world through signature dark-rimmed glasses and by age 21, he took over the fashion house of Dior. When he was called up for military duty, he was replaced at Dior. As a result, he fell apart and wound up in a mental hospital. In 1958, he met Pierre Berge (Jeremie Renier) who became not only a lover, but his trusted business partner, friend and guardian of the Yves Saint Laurent brand and worldwide reputation. While Laurent’s life seemed like a fashion fairy tale, filled with color and glamour, it was also a life tinged by substance abuse and self-doubt. Now, due to this film and a documentary filmed by David Teboul, the truth of his often tortured life comes to the big screen. Gasbard Ulliel, who plays Saint Laurent in the Sony Classics film, “Saint Laurent,” describes the man as “an artist, not just a designer.” Actor Jeremie Renier (Pierre) sees the icon as “A September 9, 2015

Martin Milner, “Route 66” and “Adam-12” star, dies By Lindsey Bahr LOS ANGELES (AP) - Martin Milner, whose wholesome good looks helped make him the star of two hugely popular 1960s TV series, “Route 66” and “Adam12,” has died. He was 83. “Adam-12” costar Kent McCord, who spoke to Milner’s children, said Milner died Sunday near the La Costa neighborhood of Carlsbad, Calif. He said the family is doing well, but gave no other details. Milner, who began his career as a teen actor, shot to fame in 1960 with co-star George Maharis in the iconic TV drama “Route 66,” which found two restless young men roaming the highway author John Steinbeck had dubbed “The Mother Road” in a red Corvette convertible. Milner was Tod Stiles, a young man born to wealth but suddenly broke when his father died and left him nothing but the new Corvette. Maharis was Buz Murdock, a hardened survivor of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen. Together they toured the country in Tod’s new Corvette,

meeting all kinds of people and becoming involved with their lives. The series was said to have been inspired by Jack Kerouac’s novel “On the Road” and it featured such weekly guest stars as Robert Redford, Alan Alda and Gene Hackman in some of their earliest roles. As much the show’s star as Milner and Maharis was Route 66 itself. Since bypassed in favor of bigger, faster interstates, the iconic highway stretched unbroken from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean during the show’s heyday and was venerated as a driving force behind the country’s 20th century westward migration. “Route 66” was the only TV show filmed entirely on location in the early 1960s, moving to new towns and cities for each new episode. But ironically, the action often took place off the highway. “The problem was that once you get into Oklahoma and Texas on the route, the scenery is flat and boring,” Milner recounted in a 1997 interview. “Pictorially it just wasn’t very interesting.” Maharis, who became ill with
hepatitis and missed part of the third season, left “Route 66” at the end of that year amid rumors of a contract dispute. He was replaced by Glenn Corbett, who played a war hero trying to cope with civilian life. The magic was gone, however, and the show lasted just one more season. In 1968 Milner signed on to another buddy series, “Adam12.” This time he was Officer Pete Malloy, a veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department assisted by rookie cop Jim Reed, who was played by Kent McCord. “I had a long, long friendship with Marty and we remained friends up till the end,” said McCord on Monday. “He was one of the really true great people of our industry with a long, distinguished career...Wonderful films, wonderful television shows, pioneering shows like ‘Route 66.’ He was one of the great guys. I was lucky to have him in my life.” Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck said Monday that Milner’s “depiction of a professional and tough yet compassionate cop” led September 9, 2015
to his own decision to apply to the department. The series was produced by Jack Webb, who applied the same realistic treatment of police doings that had made his “Dragnet” TV show, in which he was Sgt. Joe Friday, a huge hit. During the seven-year life of “Adam-12,” both Reed and Malloy won promotions. Milner had met Webb years before “Route 66” when both were appearing in the feature film “Halls of Montezuma,” and Webb had hired him for an early radio version of “Dragnet.” Later, he appeared in several episodes of the 1950s TV version. When Milner was in the Army at Northern California’s Fort Ord, he would sometimes visit Los Angeles and look Webb up. “Even though there wasn’t a part for me in ‘Dragnet’ that week,” he recalled in 1989, “Jack would write one in so I could collect $125.” Before and after “Route 66” and “Adam 12” Milner appeared in numerous TV guest roles and in films. Early film roles included “The Sands of Iwo Jima,” ‘’Marjorie
Morningstar” and (as Marty Milner) “Sweet Smell of Success.” Others films were “Louisa,” ‘’Our Very Own,” ‘’Operation Pacific,” ‘’Battle Zones,” ‘’My Wife’s Best Friend,” ‘’Springfield Rifle,” ‘’The Long Gray Line,” ‘’Mister Roberts,” ‘’Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.” ‘’Valley of the Dolls” and “Three Guns for Texas.” Martin Sam Milner was born in Detroit and grew up in Seattle, where he worked as a child actor in local plays. When the family moved to Los Angeles, he found jobs in movies, notably in his film debut as the second son in 1947’s “Life with Father” which starred William Powell and Irene Dunne. After finishing the film he was stricken with polio and spent a year in bed. He recovered and enrolled in theater arts at the University of Southern California but dropped out after a year to devote himself to his acting career. Milner married actress-singer Judy Jones in 1951, and they had four children: Amy, who died in 2004, Molly, Stuart and Andrew. Source KMIR www.desertstarweekly.com
‘War Room,’ Spanish language cartoon stand out at box office
By Lindsey Bahr LOS ANGELES (AP) Summer blockbusters gave way to the small and highly targeted over a sleepy Labor Day weekend at the box office, with notable performances from the faith-based “War Room” and the Spanish language cartoon “Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos.” Sony’s “War Room” fought its way to first place in its second weekend in release, earning $12.6 million across the four-day holiday weekend, according to Rentrak estimates on Monday. The microbudget family drama, which cost only $3.5 million to produce, has grossed $27.9 million to date. Financial success for faithbased films is not exactly a surprise at this point, but “War Room’s” impressive hold from its opening weekend is significant. Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak’s senior media analyst, attributes “War Room’s” second
weekend success to heightened awareness after it nearly usurped “Straight Outta Compton” last weekend. Also, word of mouth is strong for “War Room.” Dergarabedian said according to exit polling, 75 percent of the audience said they would definitely recommend the movie - a substantial and interesting contrast to the dismal critical reception for the film. “It’s just a great story of a film that really filled a void in the marketplace, with a message that the audience could really get behind,” he said. New release “A Walk in the Woods,” debuted in third place, behind previous champ “Straight Outta Compton,” with $10.5 million from 1,960 screens. The buddy dramedy based on Bill Bryson’s memoir starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte cost a reported $8 million to make and has taken in $12.2 million since its
Wednesday opening. The action pic “The Transporter Refueled,” meanwhile, opened in fifth with a lackluster $9 million from over 3,400 screens. Costing only $21 million to produce, this franchise outing subbed in a relatively unknown actor, Ed Skrein, for star Jason Statham, who had helped the previous three films succeed. Dergarabedian said while both films will likely perform decently in theaters, their VOD earning potential is great. “Both of those movies will end up being profitable on the small screen down the road,” he said. But, it was Pantelion’s Spanish-language animated film “Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos,” that truly stood out among the pack, taking in $4.4 million from just 395 locations over the fourday weekend. Although it doesn’t come close to the sensational $10.4 million Labor Day weekend
debut of Pantelion’s 2013 film “Instructions Not Included,” it does still illustrate the significant power of an underserved audience. “Latinos represent 17 percent of the population and buy 24 percent of movie tickets. They go to the movies all the time and they go to movies as families. If we can create a film that resonates with families over a holiday weekend, it tends to do well,” said Paul Presburger, CEO of Pantelion. “Where Hollywood releases big movies that appeal to everyone, we release movies that specifically and culturally appeal to the Latino audience,” he added. They relied on grassroots marketing to get the word out about the film and plan to expand to over 580 locations next weekend. “It’s the highest per-theater average of any film in national release, that film, like ‘War Room,’ filled a void in the marketplace,”
said Dergarabedian. “Hollywood is creating a lot of diverse product. It’s all about people relating to what’s going on on-screen.” Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Monday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Final domestic figures will be released Tuesday. 1.”War Room,” $12.6 million. 2.”Straight Outta Compton,” $11.1 million. 3.”A Walk in the Woods,” $10.5 million. 4.”Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation,” $9.3 million. 5.”The Transporter Refueled,” $9 million. 6.”No Escape,” $7 million. 7.”Inside Out,” $4.5 million. 8.”The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” $4.4 million. 9.”Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos,” $4.4 million. 10.”Sinister 2,” $4.3 million.

Warrant now required for federal ‘Stingray’ surveillance use By Desert Star Staff US Department of Justice agents now have to acquire a search warrant before utilizing a cell-site simulator, the department said, though the new policy allows for exceptions. The devices, known as ‘Stingrays,’ trick phones into connecting to them. The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Thursday that while the department’s agents have followed “appropriate legal authorizations” for cell-site simulators in the past, effective immediately, federal agencies must now get a search warrant supported by probable cause before using a cell-site simulator. The Harris Corporation’s ‘Stingray’ is the most well-known brand of the controversial spying technology, used by the FBI, the Secret Service, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and many state and local police agencies. By impersonating cell towers, the suitcase-sized devices force phones in the area to broadcast information that can be used to identify and locate users. The devices are able to indiscriminately collect and intercept data from hundreds of phones at once. The new policy does allow federal agencies to skirt those rules in the case of “dire circumstances,” such as when agents are attempting to avoid a death or injury, to keep a cellphone or other device they are tracking from being destroyed, or when a pursued criminal is in danger of escaping. Agents will be required to note how many
times those exceptions are used so that they can be part of an audit at a later date. The policy says federal agents cannot collect content from phones, including email, text messages, or GPS data, but they can monitor the general location of a tracked device. All data gathered and used to locate a device must be deleted as soon as it’s located, or no less than once per day. “Cell-site simulator technology has been instrumental in aiding law enforcement in a broad array of investigations, including kidnappings, fugitive investigations and complicated narcotics cases,” said Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates in announcing the new guidance. “This new policy ensures our protocols for this technology are consistent, well-managed and respectful of individuals’ privacy and civil liberties.” The guidance only applies to federal law enforcement, not state or local policing agencies, which have increasingly turned to Stingrays, not just for highprofile terror plots or other major criminal cases, but for routine police investigations. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has long advocated secrecy surrounding Stingrays. But in May, the FBI said that its non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with local law enforcement agencies regarding Stingrays is actually not intended to shield the technology’s use. Dozens of law enforcement departments nationwide have long attempted to hide Stingray use, going so
far as to drop cases rather than disclose that the technology was used, according to documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. For example, it was revealed last month that the Baltimore Police Department has used Stingrays to pursue petty crimes while concealing that usage from suspects, their attorneys, and judges. “The FBI’s concern is with protecting the law enforcement sensitive details regarding the tradecraft and capabilities of the device,” FBI spokesman Christopher Allen said in May. The FBI has previously justified the secretive aura around Stingrays based on the possible ability of criminals to thwart FBI tactics. The public cannot know about Stingrays because criminals are part of the public, the FBI has suggested. “The FBI routinely asserts the law enforcement sensitive privilege over cell site simulator equipment because discussion of the capabilities and use of the equipment in court would allow criminal defendants, criminal enterprises or foreign powers, should they gain access to the items, to determine the FBI’s techniques, procedures, limitations and capabilities in this area,” Bradley Morrison, chief of the tracking technology unit at the FBI, wrote in an affidavit last year. “This knowledge could easily lead to the development and employment of countermeasures to FBI tools and investigative techniques by subjects of investigations and completely
The American Civil Liberties Union said that “after decades of secrecy” surrounding Stingray surveillance, it was cautiously optimistic about the DOJ’s new policy. However, it was also concerned about the myriad loopholes attached to rules guiding police tracking capabilities. “[T]his policy does not a d e q u a t e l y a d d re s s a l l concerns,” the ACLU wrote. “Disturbingly, the policy does not apply to other federal agencies or the many state and local police departments that have received federal funds to purchase these devices. In addition, the guidance leaves the door open to warrantless use of Stingrays in undefined ‘exceptional circumstances,’ while permitting retention of innocent bystander data for up to 30 days in certain cases.” The ACLU has identified more than 50 state and local policing agencies in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia, and at least a half dozen federal law enforcement agencies, as owning Stingray surveillance devices. Civil liberties groups that have been making public records requests in order to learn more about the technology have discovered that non-disclosure agreements exist between governments and companies like Harris. The ACLU has also uncovered the ability of a
By Desert Star Staff An Iraqi woman has taken revenge on the Islamic State commander who forced her into sex slavery, killing him near the city of Mosul. The woman killed a senior commander known as “Abu Anas” three months after he forced her to marry several men under his command, Kurdistan Democratic Party spokesman Saeed Mamouzini told al-Sumaria TV. The commander was killed on Saturday in the Tal Roman district, west of militant-held Mosul, according to Mamouzini. There is no information on how the militant was killed or what has become of the woman, who some reports say is a member of the Yazidi-Kurdish minority. According to the ABNA news agency, the report emerged just days after an unspecified number of “non-Iraqi” women were transported into Mosul for use as sex slaves, under a direct
order from the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This is not the first incident of women fighting back against Islamic State. In August, IS militants reportedly executed 15 women at Ghazlani military base near Mosul, after the victims refused to marry the terrorists. Another 19 women in Mosul were executed for the same reason in July. Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, has been under IS control since June 2014. The militant group has established several sex slave markets, where captured Yazidi, Christian, and Shia women are sold. Women are often stripped naked before being sold to the highest bidders. In one incident, revealed by United Nations official special envoy Zainab Bangur, IS militants forced a Yazidi woman to ‘repair’ her hymen 20 times in order to restore her virginity before she was married off to fighters.
Last month, the UN confirmed an Islamic State sex price list, which is offered to fighters and other men trying to purchase sex slaves – some as young as one. Children aged one to nine can be purchased for about US$165, while adolescent girls cost $124. A woman over 20 is even less, and someone over the age of 40 can be sold for as little as $41. In June, IS held a Koran memorizing contest with a grand prize of sex slaves. According to a pamphlet released by Islamic State at the end of last year, militants are allowed to have sex with Yazidi women, especially if those captured are virgins. If the woman is not a virgin, the manual says, “her uterus must be purified” before intercourse. Frustrated that governments aren’t doing enough to help women and girls forced into sex slavery, one Canadian man has launched an organization aimed at returning victims to their loved ones.
By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Workers and labor advocates are rallying in Sacramento today in support of a bill to combat wage theft by companies that fail to pay workers overtime or give legally-required breaks during work shifts. Senate Bill 588, known as the “Fair Day’s Pay Act,” would close loopholes that have allowed some unscrupulous employers to avoid paying judgments when they’re found guilty of wage theft. Alexandra Suh, executive director with the Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance in Los Angeles, says only about 15 percent of employees who win judgments are ever paid. “Workers across California are facing a crisis of wage theft,” she says. “Even when they go to the Labor Commission, they win judgments but they cannot collect. SB 588 provides tools to help those workers collect.” The bill has already passed

Stingray to negate cell phone calls by either downgrading mobile devices from 3G or 4G connectivity to 2G – enabling them to access identification and location information – or by using the devices’ “catch-and-release” functions. Last week, a US federal appeals court validated the National Security Agency’s bulk collection surveillance program under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. The three-judge appeals court threw out a 2013 verdict against the NSA that deemed unconstitutional the agency’s bulk collection of telephony metadata. Plaintiffs argued that the NSA refused to provide evidence showing they had been spied on, though the judges said that secrecy is basically how the law was intended to work. “Plaintiffs complain that the government should not be allowed to avoid liability simply by keeping the material classified. But the government’s silence regarding the scope of bulk collection is a feature of the program, not a bug,” Judge Stephen F. Williams wrote in the decision. The controversial section of the Patriot Act expired at the end of May, after a bipartisan group of lawmakers filibustered to prevent its extension. Under the subsequently passed USA Freedom Act, the collection of metadata will be entrusted to telecom companies, and the NSA will be able to obtain the records through seeking a warrant from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court.

the state Senate and several Assembly committees, and is expected to go before the full Assembly today or Wednesday. According to a UCLA labor study, workers in Los Angeles lose $1.4 billion a year to wage theft. Suh says employers often change the name of their business to avoid paying judgments – placing an additional burden on employees. “ Wo r k e r s w o r k s i x , sometimes seven days a week, but many of them aren’t even getting the minimum wage, overtime, meal breaks and rest breaks,” she says. “The levels of wage theft are staggering, and people are trying to support their families.” Suh notes the California Chamber of Commerce objected at first to the bill, worrying it would lead to frivolous lawsuits. The bill’s authors made adjustments and the chamber dropped its opposition.

avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada. California law requires that contractors taking jobs that total $500 or more (labor and/ or materials) must be licensed by the Contractors State License Board. State law also requires that contractors include their license number on all advertising. You can check the status of your licensed contractor at www.cslb. ca.gov or 800-321-CSLB

Motorcyclist Survives Plunge off Highway 74 By Kitty Alvarado PALM DESERT -- A motorcyclist went over the side of Highway 74 on Sunday, bringing traffic to a halt in both directions Firefighters say they’re used to seeing accidents on Highway 74, fortunately this time it was not deadly. The motorcyclist is lucky to be alive after plunging 70 feet over the side of Highway 74. “(We) arrived at scene and and found the victim over the side and began to start rescue operations to get the victim up to the roadway,” said Steven Fralia with Calfire.
The accident happened near Vista Point at around 10:30 in the morning. California Highway Patrol shut down the highway in both directions until the victim was taken by helicopter off the windy highway. According to Calfire, the victim suffered moderate injuries. Calfire says Highway 74 is treacherous. They warn motorists to be careful on this stretch of road. “Highway 74 is busy during the weekend, it’s very curvy and dangerous. We do come up here very often for incidents like this
and we just caution everybody to drive slow,” said Fralia. Stephen Gutierrez was riding his own motorcycle down the highway when he got caught up in the traffic. The accident brought back memories of his own friend who was taken much too soon on this same highway. I’ve even had a friend die up here so it’s always doesn’t feel good seeing another rider go down,” said Gutierrez. The cause of the accident is not yet known , California Highway Patrol is investigating.j Source KMIR

Two Car Shooting in Desert Hot Springs By Carlos Herrera DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Ca. - A 15-year-old girl remains in critical condition at Desert Regional Medical Center, following a shooting at a gas station in Desert Hot Springs. Palm Drive and Dillon Road remained closed for several hours after Desert Hot Springs police investigated a shooting, which happened at 11:21 a.m. at the Valero gas station in that busy intersection. According to police, two vehicles were involved in the
shooting. The car was heading north on Palm Drive, near the Dillon Road intersection, “when another person fired several shot into it,” Desert Hot Springs Chief of Police Dale Mondary said. One of the cars was shot multiple times. The 15-year-old girl, who’s name has not been released, was a passenger in that car. She was transported and underwent surgery to some bullet wounds. Police detained the male driver of the victim’s car for
questioning. According to Mondary, authorities are still trying to identify the other car involved. The cause of the shooting is still under investigation. The name of the victim have not been released. All lanes of Palm Drive were closed at Dillon Road until about 5 p.m. This intersection is not known for shootings or any violent crime, Monday added.

By Carlos Herrera RIVERSIDE COUNTY -Travelers may have noticed the lowest labor day gas prices in five years. Gas prices dropped by double digits in most of Southern California. The retail state average for a gallon of regular is $3.39. That’s 9.2 cents less than last week. The average price of self serve regular gasoline in Riverside County is $3.42, that is 12.6 cents lower than last week and 54 cents less than last month. The price has dropped for 23 consecutive days. Low gas prices helped labor day weekend travelers to save
big this year. “It saves 50 cents a gallon so that’s good news. A little extra money to spend on other things,” Labor Day weekend traveler Tom Pugel said. According to AAA, about 2 million California residents drove to their destinations. Dropping gas prices gave travelers more flexibility in their getaway budgets, experts said. Nationally, according to AAA, The average gas price is still one dollar or more lower than in most areas of Southern California, but local prices are dropping faster here than in most other states.

Largest Yakuza syndicate’s 1st split in 30 years confirmed
By Desert Star Staff The offshoot has confirmed a split within the largest Yakuza syndicate in Japan. Thousands of excommunicated members of the Yamaguchi-gumi formed a new crime syndicate over the weekend. Police expect a wave of violence. T h e Ya m a g u c h i - g u m i reigns supreme over all other conglomerates, with about half Japan’s gangsters directly or indirectly employed by it. The Yakuza grouping has had a tumultuous history, and splits in its ranks have always deserved the attention of authorities, owing to the wave of bloody retributive violence that inevitably follows such events. The last such rift occurred in the mid-80s, leading to 293 violent clashes and a series of killings. Now, the newly-formed group which according to Kyodo News
would call itself Kobe Yamaguchigumi has officially declared its split, issuing a document, according to investigative sources speaking to Japanese media. The document contains quite brazen descriptions of Shinobu Tsukasa (aka Kenichi Shinoda), the sixth-generation leader of the syndicate. Many in his ranks accused Tsukasa of extreme egotism, sources said Monday as cited by the Japan Times. Reportedly, another reason is his desire to expand the gang’s turf from its native Kobe into Tokyo and other areas. The secession document was signed by Kunio Inoue, the leader of the Yamakengumi – a Yakuza clan within the Yamaguchi-gumi, also based in Kobe, and consisting of 2,000 members. Inoue and others who
California Death Penalty on Trial
By Desert Star Staff PASADENA, Calif. – The death penalty itself is on trial today in the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court in Pasadena. C a l i f o r n i a ’s a t t o r n e y general is appealing last year’s ruling that declared the state’s system of capital punishment unconstitutional. The federal judge in that case said the extensive delays mean the system itself constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, and does not deter crime or exact retribution. Matt Cherry, executive director of the anti-capital punishment group Death Penalty Focus,says this is the first time that type of argument has been made. He notes the average time between conviction and execution in California is 25 years. “When those delays extend into decades and decades so that most of the people who are sentenced to death will never be actually executed, then I think the whole system collapses under the www.desertstarweekly.com
weight of its own contradictions,” he states. The state argues that delays in the system are inevitable because all appeals must be exhausted to make sure no innocent person is executed. If the prior ruling is upheld, the case could be appealed to a panel of circuit court judges, and then to the U.S. Supreme Court. California re-instituted the death penalty in the late 1970s, and since then more than 900 people have been sentenced to death with just 13 executed. Cherry says a death sentence in California really amounts to life in prison with a small chance of execution. “Those delays are so unreasonable and so arbitrary that the death penalty really does not function anymore in California,” he maintains. The current case originated with the 1995 death sentence of Ernest Jones, who was convicted of raping and fatally stabbing his roommate’s mother.
seceded explain that they did so in order to honor the wishes of the previous leaders of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The newly formed Kobe Yamaguchi will continue to use the logo currently used by Tsukasa’s syndicate, which is a controversial move, and might escalate matters further. Recent news of the possible split between the two had the police on high alert – although some in law enforcement circles say this is an opportunity to weaken the clan structure. It remains to be seen how the power balance between the two will play out. The original
Yamaguchi-gumi wishes to spread itself thin by branching out; however, its more than 23,000 members comprise nearly 50 percent of all of Japan’s Yakuza – a substantial advantage over the Kobe Yamaguchi figure, so far only boasting 3,000. Suspicions within the Yamaguchi-gumi began to emerge over the summer, leading to the excommunication of the 13 Yakuza leaders of clans thought to be the most dangerous to the syndicate’s unity. The Yamaguchi-gumi was born in 1915, founded by a western-Japanese fisherman.
It’s Japan’s largest syndicate, existing in 44 out of 47 of Japan’s prefectures, while its reach also spreads to overseas operations in Asia and the United States. Its wealth measures $80 billion, Fortune magazine said last year, making it by far the richest syndicate in the world – a wealth acquired from drug trafficking, prostitution and white collar crime; although, in a bid to expand, the Yakuza have been branching out into new crime sectors, which is a departure from the golden age of Japanese Yakuza – the 1980s.
