Resolved Retribution Boy who shot neo-Nazi father is sentenced to state lockup Jeffrey Hall, deceased

By Alex Distefano Joseph Hall

On Oct. 31, a 13-year-old from Riverside was sentenced to be placed under the custody of the Dept. of Juvenile Justice, and sent to a state detention facility, for killing his father on May 1, 2011. The juvenile defendant, Joseph Hall was 10 when he fatally shot his father, Jeff Hall, in the back of the head. His father was a regional leader for the neo-Nazi white supremacist National Socialist Movement. The teenager was convicted of second degree murder earlier this year, but now his attorneys are appealing his sentence of

40 years to life, which they claim as unjust, considering the boys severe emotional disability and other special needs; not to mention the fact that he was abused (both physically and possibly sexually according to court documents) and raised in a traumatic, violent, racist household where fear of beatings and other abuse were a daily constant. From the beginning of this sensational, brutal news story of the murder, the crime and subsequent trial have made headlines around the world, with BBC, NBC, Huffington Post and even 60 Minutes all covering the story as it developed, from the crime scene to the court room. Now, attorneys for the boy, told news station ABC 7, they have immediate plans to file for an appeal, saying the boy’s special needs cannot be met in the state facility, and that he faces harm from older inmates who might be gang members or sex offenders. Making things worse, he will be the youngest prisoner in the state of California. “My wish for Joseph is that he goes to an education place that can get him the help he needs—educational, and emotional too,” Leticia Neal, his mother, told NBC Los Angeles. She expressed concern that his needs wouldn’t be met if he were sent to a state juvenile justice facility. Riverside County DA spokesman John Hall told the Weekly that however, the 40year sentence is misleading and there has

been some misreporting. “I want to make sure something is clear, as I have heard some misinformation being given,” he said. “The longest he will serve in custody in the sentence in this case is until he turns 23. He is 13 now.” Hall said that by law, the boy would have a mandated parole hearing in seven years. “The 40 years to life that the judge addressed is the sentence he would have received as an adult, as that is the sentence for the crimes which she found that he committed. She has to address that at the sentencing. “However, it does not mean he will serve a sentence of 40 years to life. He will not, and cannot. He does not go into adult prison custody when he turns 23. His sentence is complete when he turns 23.” Hall declined to comment or speculate about the plans of the defense to appeal the sentence. The defense attorneys for the boy, which also include Upland lawyers Marc Grossman and Punam Grewal, argued that the system failed the teenager. Despite the evidence for abuse within the home at the hands of the father, and obvious trouble

sings from a young age that he needed help, the educational system and social services did nothing to intervene when they should have. They also point to the very brutal and horrid physical abuse the boy and his step mom had to deal with, and claim that he was not in a mental or emotional state to stand trial or even understand the consequences of what he did. Grewal even told ABC 7 that she feels the Riverside County DA’s Office neglected this evidence, and violated the boy’s civil rights. She mentioned that some of his disabilities might be from emotional and physical trauma caused from his father’s violent rage. “Six times in one day, he was beaten by his dad. He slept in his own vomit; he was pushed down the stairs,” Grewel told the TV news station ABC 7. “All of this evidence came in. It was there. What did we make of it? Absolutely nothing.” The attorneys for the boy will argue that the boy should be held in a treatment center that can meet his needs and allow him a proper chance at rehabilitation and treatment. IE

Wednesday, October 30

Less than a week before the infamous holiday of tricks, treats and other crazy shenanigans by youngsters, this year’s event ended on a sad note. One 13-year-old boy, Andy Lopez from Santa Rosa, was shot seven times and killed for having a gun in his posession—a toy gun. Sure it was a replica of an AK-47 but it should have been pretty obvious to Deputy Erick Gelhaus, a 24-year-veteran, that the light-weight, make-believe device was a Halloween prop. In the past, Gelhaus has been in instances of excessive force. Now, locals in the area have camped out at the scene of a crime, demanding justice for a young latino teen’s untimely death.

Thursday, October 31

On this day in offices across the nation, countless individuals who are normally stuck with wearing strict business attire were given one glorious free pass for office costume contests. It was probably just an over-abundance of Miley Cryus and Robin Thicke lookalikes. Here at the IE Weekly, among a lovely Hermes, a clever NBA “Dunkin’ Donut”, a sexy pirate and an Olive-Garden-Waitress-Fox (aka “What Does the Fox Say?”) lost to a well-played co-worker lookalike costume. In the end though, our intern probably won when he showed up in a full-body hot dog costume with a cardboard sign attached stating “Dodgers lost, looking for work.” Sorry Dodger Dogs, but it’s a hilarious joke aimed at the team’s ultra-failure.

Nothing is better than diving into your kid’s candy pillow sack and eating to your heart’s content—but nothing is worse than the feeling of a candy-induced sick stomach. We should probably learn more

about diabetes at this point, but a breakfast made of Milky Way, Twizzlers and Skittles is pretty enticing.

Saturday, November 2

Meanwhile on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the show again encouraged parents to tell their kids that they ate all of their candy, and record the reactions that follow. It’s 10 percent terrible and 90 percent hilarious to see these kids crying out of sadness when something they worked so hard for is taken away. A few of the chosen videos in this year’s compilation were undeniably adorable. You can’t help but feel bad when a silently crying child in their pajamas forgives their parents for undergoing a moment of candy weakness in devouring a kid’s Halloween earnings. However it’s the reactions that end with “That B*tch,” “I Hate You” and kicking the crap out of a carseat so hard that their pants fall off make you really feel the love. Parents take their kids out for hours so their kids can ask for free candy—shouldn’t parents deserve a cut of that sweet profit too?

Sunday, November 3

I’m still feeling the side-effects of that candy raid . . . Sugar. Overload. Hangover.

Monday, November 4

Yup even with candy, Mondays are still terrible.

Tues, November 5

Sure, Disneyland isn’t anywhere near the Inland Empire but I can bet that at least 75 percent of IE citizens pay for annual passes— you rich bastards. Your average day at the Resort is spent waiting in lines and . . . waiting in more lines. But today Disneyland decided to invite a number of social media celebrities to the park for a special meet-and-greet as a part of the company’s newest initiative, “Show Your Disney Side.” Among notable individuals like Mike Tompkins, Tiffany Alvord and Mindy McKnight was also the appearance of one special and very Grumpy Cat. Tardar Sauce aka the “Grumpy Cat” was recorded hanging out with an equally grumpy dwarf and encoraching on Pluto’s dog house territory. Was it cute? Hell yeah it was. For many, it’s the first time they’ve seen the cat do more than just sit on a couch with a grumpface. The poor thing has been labeled with hating every holiday and positive outlook in life through internet memes but even with it’s unusual facial feature, (not unlike other cat celebs like Lil Bubs, who looks even more adorably derpy), Grumpy Cat stole the show. The other social media celebrities sang and danced. All Tardar Sauce had to do was grump up the stage—and humans ate it up faster than a cat devouring catnip. Nobody cares about humans when a cat is in the picture. IE

LOCAL TATTOO SHOP HONORS WAR VETERANS Veterans don’t get enough credit—they fight long and hard on their tours dedicated to keeping the peace admist chaos and when they return, they aren’t always respected for their work; forgotten in a sea of unappreciative and selfish individuals. Ink’d Chronicles in Pomona is making sure that our local heroes are honored for their time spent defending the country. To begin the celebration on Saturday, November 9, Ink’d Chronicles will hold a flag ceremony and national anthem to kick off a local art show at its location in Pomona. All proceeds from the show will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, the motto of which reminds citizens that “The greatest casualty is being forgotten,” which helps out injured service members. A change of scenery will bring vets and fans alike to the America Legion Post 30, where “Operation Punk” will begin. A quick switch from art to music will bring bands like Implants, The Skeeviez, Scurvy Kids and WHITEKAPS to celebrate the success and dedication of veterans everywhere.

¡ASK A

MEXICAN! Dear Mexican: I’m a pocha immigration attorney. I have so many questions for you I’m thinking I should just hire you as a consultant. Why do Mexicans seem to want me to lie to them and steal their money, and tell them they can become residents even when it’s hopeless? Why can’t Mexicans answer yes or no questions, with a yes or no? Why do they have to give me long narratives that make no sense? If Mexicans claim that part of the reason they don’t want to be in Mexico is because of government corruption, then why do they ask me to lie for them, and help them to lie? Why are polleros the rudest, most aggressive clients a lawyer could ever have? Why don’t mexicanas want a female attorney, while mexicanos seem to think it’s kind of cool? When I go into fast food restaurants in my power suits and order tacos, why do the mexicanas selling me the food giggle and make fun? Why can’t they just be happy and proud for one of their own? When I tell a Mexican that I don’t think their case is winnable, why do they change from using “usted” with me to “tu”? When I tell a Mexican bad news, why can’t I just speak normally in Spanish? Why is it that I get so nervous that my pocha accent comes out super strong? Pocha Attorney Dear Wabette: If people want to hire me as a consultant, I charge by the hour, with payments acceptable in tacos, tequila bottles, and Chicano Studies books. So let’s empezar your bill starting…ahorita. Mexicans want you to tell them they can become residents because they are paying you to make their hopeless situation a legal one, lies or not. Their “long narratives that make no sense” is otherwise known as America’s immigration system. They ask you to lie for them because the alternative is going back to Mexico’s cesspool of corruption—again, it’s your job as an immigration attorney to make the hopeless hopeful by making the impossible happen, ethics be damned. Polleros are going to be rude because they’re criminals—and outside of Daniel Stern’s character in Born in East L.A., do you know of any gentleman human smugglers? Mexicanas

not wanting you to represent them isn’t a pocha thing but a female thing, so go write to Jezebel about that one; Mexican men wanting you as an attorney, in turn, is all about an hombre ogling you. As a pocha, you shouldn’t be eating fast food in the first place—and the mexicana-on-pocha hate is another female issue that Jezebel can answer. When a Mexican switches from addressing you as usted to tu, it’s because you’re no longer someone deserving of their respect but the shyster scamming them out of cash. Finally, you start talking like a pocha when you tell them the bad news because you don’t like delivering bad news—that’s understandable. Let’s see… carry over the dos, add 3, include a firsttimer discount and your final legal bill with me is a taquero for 30 people, a bottle of ON Tequila, and a first-edition autographed copy of Occupied America. Pleasure doing business! Why do so many Mexican parents let their kids play in the street unsupervised? I’m sure this practice isn’t limited to Mexicans, but it seems like some neighborhoods are filled with Mexican kids playing in the streets, not paying attention to traffic (no matter how quiet the street might be), and with no parents in sight. Are these parents lazy, stupid, or encouraging self-reliance? Whitey Dear Gabacho: Every chamaco is going to be a different story, but the main reason Mexicans let their kids play on the street is because there’s nowhere else for them to play. The lack of park spaces in barrios is an unfortunate phenomenon well-known to city planners, and best examined in Cal State Los Angeles professor David R. Diaz’s influential Barrio Urbanism: Chicanos, Planning and American Cities. Compounding that is that most landlords in barrios don’t allow kids to play in common areas, leading families to let them loose onto the mean streets.

LEAD STORY

“Fantasy sports” are hugely popular, but when fans “draft” players for their teams, they “own” only the players’ statistics. Recently, Wall Street and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs created Fantex Holdings, which will allow investors to buy actual pieces of real players—namely, rights to 20 percent of the player’s lifetime earnings (including licensing and product endorsement deals). The firm told The New York Times in October that it will soon stage an “IPO” for budding NFL star Arian Foster and hopes to sign up many more athletes, plus singers and actors similarly early in their careers. (On the other hand, Fantex’s lawyers drew up a 37-page list of potential investment risks, such as injuries, slumps and scandals—and the fact that the stock will trade only on Fantex’s private exchange.)

CULTURAL DIVERSITY

“For Japanese boys, the train driver sits alongside footballer, doctor and policeman as a dream job,” according to a September Agence France-Presse dispatch, and consequently, the system for the Tokyo metro area (covering 35 million people) runs with the “precision of a finely crafted Swiss watch,” where delays, even for as long as a minute, seldom occur. (When they do occur, operators repeatedly apologize and hand out “notes from home” to commuters to present to their bosses to excuse the tardiness.) Among the system’s drawbacks is the still-irksome groping of females on packed rush-hour trains, when operators routinely shove as many as 300 riders into cars designed for 150. Among the surprising legacies of the oppressions of communist East Germany is modern-day Germany’s commonplace “clothing-optional” lifestyle (FKK, or “Freikoerperkultur”—free body culture). A September Global Post dispatch counted “hundreds” of FKK beaches across the country and referenced a turned-up snapshot (not yet authenticated) of a young Angela Merkel frolicking nude in the 1960s or 1970s. Foreigners occasionally undergo culture shock at German hotels’ saunas and swimming pools, at which swimsuits are discouraged (as “unhygienic”). In December China joined only a handful of countries (and 29 U.S. states) by strengthening the rights of elderly parents to demand support from their adult children—not only

financially (which has been the law for more than a decade) but now allowing lawsuits by parents who feel emotionally ignored, as well. An October Associated Press feature on one rural extended family dramatized China’s cultural shift away from its proverbial “first virtue” of family honor. Zhang Zefang, 94, said she did not even understand the concept of “lawsuit” when a local official explained it, but only that she deserved better from the children she had raised and who now allegedly resent her neediness. (A village court promptly ordered several family members to contribute support for Zhang.)

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES

Recent separate testings in 21 springs in Austria and 18 fonts in Vienna yielded a conclusion that 86 percent of the holy water in the country’s churches was not safe to drink—most commonly infected with diarrhea-causing E.coli and Campylobacter. University of Vienna researchers found samples with up to 62 million bacteria per milliliter of water, and the busier the church, the higher the count. Various studies show “churchgoers” to be happier, more optimistic and healthier than other people, leading some atheists and agnostics to wonder whether the church experience could be fruitfully replicated but minus the belief in God. Hence, the “Sunday Assembly” was created in London, and has now spread to New York City and Melbourne, Australia, with 18 other hoped-for openings by year’s end, according to a September report in The Week. Founders seek such benefits as “a sense of community,” “a thought-provoking (secular) sermon,” “group singing” and an “ethos of self-improvement,” exemplified by the motto “live better, help often, wonder more,” and they hope that eventually Sunday Assembly will organize Sunday school, weddings, funerals and “non-religious baptisms.” First Things First: An alleged drug ring in the Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay was busted in September after police cracked a stream of Internet messages offering heroin (called “DOB”) and cocaine (“white girl”). Among the messages was one sent at 6:45 one Friday evening advising customers that they had “45 minutes” to get their orders in for the weekend because the sellers would obediently shut down at 7:30 (i.e., sundown) for the Jewish sabbath.

It’s just before 9 a.m. The sun is shining, the morning breeze is refreshing, and thousands of people huddle up as they wait for an experience which has become quite popular in recent years. While everyone waits—all wearing the same shirts and sporting similar sunglasses—a live DJ plays upbeat dance music which blares throughout Rancho Jurupa Park. Some individuals are stretching. Others are conversing with their friends or making new ones. Some even dance Zumba to get their blood flowing before

embarking on this short journey. Members of the Riverside community are finally getting their own color run. On Nov. 9, Rancho Jurupa Park will host the Color Vibe 5K, where colored powder will be thrown at runners as they pass by color stations along a set 3.1-mile route. It will be the first run of its type hosted in Riverside County. Kade Richardson, event coordinator for the Color Vibe, wants participants to have fun, but also feels 5K runs could promote a healthy lifestyle. “A 5K is a great way to really start if you’re looking to get running or looking to get more active in your life,” Richardson said. “This is just, for us, a really great opportunity to raise

awareness in that aspect.” Taylor Spencer, event director for the Color Vibe, feels the health aspect is not the only positive aspect of the run. “We provide an event that allows them to come out, do something unique and something that’s great for your health and good for your body, and also something that’s really visually stimulating and appealing,” Spencer said. On race day, runners will go along a circular path and be doused with blue, green, yellow, pink and purple colors at four separate “color zones.” Richardson said the colored powder is corn-starch based, which makes it non-toxic as well as more vibrant, edible and biodegradable. Richardson also said the color will not stain

clothing. “The color definitely adds a unique and fun aspect to the race, and I think that’s definitely appealing,” Richardson said. “You just come, have a ton of fun, and [there is] easy cleanup, so no real worries there.” After participants cross the finish line, an after-party begins, featuring music from a live DJ and lots of dancing. The parties have been a part of the Color Vibe runs since the events started over a year ago. Richardson said what sets the Color Vibe 5Ks apart from

NOVEMBER 7 - NOVEMBER 13, 2013 | IEWEEKLY.com

similar color-themed runs is the dance parties after the race is over. “As the racers are finishing, they come [to the after-party] and the fun keeps going,” Richardson said. “We really like to interact with everyone who’s there, try to get people on the stage having fun.” Riverside’s event will feature DJ Xist. Spencer said the bulk of the excitement happens at the staging area, which is near the start and finish lines of the race. “There’s a lot of energy before the race even starts—we’ve got music blaring, we’re doing fun stuff around the stage, we’re doing stretches, sometimes Zumba,” Spencer said. “Everyone’s happy and excited to be there.” Richardson said the company realizes not all people who run 5Ks are athletes or even habitual runners, and they try to take that into account with every event. “We really try to make this as non-intimidating as we can,” Richardson said. Richardson feels the length of the race makes it possible for a variety of people to enjoy the event, and he has even seen families with children participate in the 5K. “That’s the great [thing]—you can run, walk, crawl, skip; it doesn’t matter, just come and have fun,” Richardson said. Richardson visited Riverside in order to gauge the potential success of having the Color Vibe 5K somewhere in the county, and was pleased with what he saw. He will be present for the event on Nov. 9. “I really felt like the downtown just area had a really cool feel,” Richardson said. “I feel like people in Riverside County were proud of where they live from what I saw. I’m excited to come out and get to know the people a little bit more.” Spencer agreed with Richardson about hosting the event in Riverside. “We just saw that there’s a good population and a rather active community, so we just figured it’d be a good place to hit up.” Spencer stated many reasons why a person would want to participate in a 5K. “People are just looking for a unique event to attend,” Spencer said. “Also, it being a 5K, health and wellness is trending really hot right now, so people want to get out and be more active. And a lot of people just want to show off and show their friends that they did something cool [and] they changed their Facebook profile pictures and all that fun stuff.” Each Color Vibe 5K event partners with and donates to a charity organization. The Color Vibe is partnering with the Salvation Army in Riverside County for the November event. “Together, we just spread the word about this race [and] try to get people to come out and have fun,” said Richardson, who feels the partnerships are mutually beneficial. “It’s great to do so knowing that you’re helping out the community.” Richardson felt the Salvation Army was a good fit as a partner because of their involvement in the community. “We see how their really doing a lot for Riverside county and that’s something that struck

us as well,” Richardson said. Spencer appreciates the past experiences the company has had with Salvation Armies in other cities. “We’ve worked with Salvation Army before and they’ve been really great to work with,” Spencer said. “They’ve brought out several volunteers and helped out a lot with the runs and have been really excited to be a part of it.” Eilyn Dawes, community relations manager for the Salvation Army in Riverside and the Riverside County Adult Rehabilitation Center, applied for the charity to be the partner for the run after seeing a Facebook post by the company. “Any charity could’ve been chosen,” said Dawes, who will be running the 5K along with some of her coworkers. “I am very grateful that the Color Vibe chose us.” A portion of the money made by the Color Vibe will be donated to the county’s Adult

IEWEEKLY.com | November 7 - November 13, 2013

Rehabilitation Center, a free drug and alcohol facility which houses 125 men in recovery. The center provides work-therapy programs, housing, food and clothing to the residents. Other organizations that have partnered with Color Vibe events are the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Ronald McDonald House and others. “It’s really cool to see different organizations that have different models and goals and to be able to help each of these individually,” Richardson said. The 5K will be held in Rancho Jurupa Park, which is 350 acres and has recently been renovated with camp grounds, a miniature golf course, playgrounds, picnic areas, fishing lakes and walking/ hiking trails. The park has held several different kinds of 5Ks in the past, but this is the first one that will involve color. Kyla Brown, chief of parks and recreation for Riverside county, was excited that one of Riverside’s parks was chosen by the Color Vibe for an event. “It’s a great avenue to have healthy activities available locally, and it’s a great way for us to partner with community organizations to get people outdoors and get them doing something healthy versus sitting at home,” Brown said. Brown feels the park, which runs along the Santa Ana river, is an ideal place to hold events, including the 5K, which will be solely held within the park. “It’s a great place to host an event because there’s ample open space, it’s a beautiful setting, there’s plenty of parking and you don’t have to go out into the city streets and work with multiple partners to get things closed off,” Browns said. Brown feels the participants who attend the various events organized by the park have a positive experience. “[For] many people, it’s their first time to our parks,” Brown said. “They’re usually happy with the event

and they’re excited to learn about the park and see it for the first time.” Brown said the Color Vibe run falls into a county competition called Thrive Across America, an eight-week program where employees will engage in various physical activities and track their progress. Registration for the Color Vibe 5K costs $43.95. On race day, the amount increases to $50. Runners under the age of seven can attend for free. Each runner will receive a packet which includes a Color Vibe t-shirt, sunglasses and the participant’s runner number. Runners will also receive a pair of sunglasses to help shield their eyes from the color powder that is thrown at them. When the race starts, runners will be sent in waves of 400 to 500 people. The first wave of runners will leave at 9 a.m. The event generally lasts from about 9 a.m. — 10:30 a.m., with the after-party starting after the racers finish the run. In regards to safety during the run, ambulances and emergency medical technicians will be on site in case an injury or ailment occurs. Local law enforcement, as well as third-party security personnel, will also be present. Brown said the parks and recreation department will make sure the company holding the event has everything in order including safety and enough volunteers, and park rangers will help monitor the event on race day. Richardson said there could be about 150 volunteers helping throw color powder, assisting runners with picking up their packets, and selling merchandise, which consists of t-shirts, hoodies, hats, bandanas, tutus and more. Richardson also said races typically average between 2,000 to 5,000 participants. The company which owns Color Vibe got the inspiration to do color runs from a springtime Holy Festival of Color that is performed by a Hindu Temple in Utah, which is where the company is based. As part of the ritual, color power is thrown in air. “From there, it was just kind of a fun aspect that people here in the community are really involved in and setting it to a 5K,” Richardson said. The company hosted mud runs for several years before deciding to add color runs. Spencer feels the Color Vibe runs have a positive impact on the communities in which the events are held. “Our goal is to be a really awesome and exciting event that the community loves and something that people see the good that we do with these runs too — not only just for entertainment value, but for donations and charity partnerships,” Spencer said. “We really want communities to be excited about us coming.” Color Vibe 5K at Rancho Jurupa Park, 4800 Crestmore Rd., Jurupa Valley, www.thecolorvibe.com. Sat., Nov. 9. $40-$50.

MUSIC

LET’S GET RIGHTEOUS The David Crowder Band’s lead singer begins his solo career

Me and The City

By Dan MacIntosh

MEMBERS: David Matus (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar), Tim Alvarez (Electric Guitar/Harmonica/Vocals) and Taylor Garcia (Drums/Percussion/Vocals). Cities of Origin: Lake Elsinore, Corona and Glendora. Kindred Spirits: John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Bon Iver, Justin Nozuka, Mumford and Sons. Websites: www.meandthecity.net. Frequents: The Wire (Upland). If Damien Rice and Mumford and Sons came together and made an album it would sound similar to Me and The City. Starting out as the solo project of lead vocalist, David Matus, this band used the power of social media to come together and create some of the Inland Empire’s best indie-folk music. Matus initially wanted to create new and inventive acoustic indie but his sound wasn’t complete until he and guitarist, Tim Alvarez, began writing together, creating its unflawed alt-country sound. With the release of its first EP, “Live Laugh Love,” Me and The City has been booking a series of shows in both the Inland Empire and Los Angeles area. Recording its debut album with multi-platinum producer, Warren Huart, this band is on its way to stardom. With its high energy shows guaranteed to make you clap your hands and sing along, this arrangement of musicians is meant to be together, creating music that will out-do its predecessors. For recent shows and band updates visit its website and Facebook page. How did your band get together? Tim Alvarez: It’s kind of a long story but the short version is that David was playing solo stuff under the name Me and The City and was trying to put together a band. I had just moved to Corona and was looking for somebody to play with. Through the wonders of the internet, we met up and wrote a bunch of songs. When we finally were ready to bring it to the people, we got in contact with Taylor, again through the internet, and we knew we had something solid.

And yes, that’s the short version. What is the story behind the name of your band? Alvarez: It really just breaks down to a story of a boy living in the city. How do you describe your music? Alvarez: Our songs definitely have a folk vibe to them, but with a progressive and alternative rock twist. When you hear our music, you’ll know what I mean. What are your influences? Alvarez: We are influenced by everything and everything has an impact on our sound, but bands like Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers and Kings of Leon always find their way into our ears. Do you have any upcoming shows? Alvarez: We always have upcoming shows. There are always shows being added so you just have to keep checking in to keep up to date. What can fans expect from a live Me and The City performance? Alvarez: You can definitely expect to clap your hands and stomp your feet. You will also have a great time and you will leave with a smile on your face. You can try to fight it, but then you’re just lying to yourself. Is there anything else you’d like us to know? Alvarez: Talk to us! We love meeting new fans and hearing everybody’s stories on how they found us. (Victoria Banegas) IE

When David Crowder, the longtime leader of the David Crowder Band, arrives at Winter Jam in Ontario on November 8, he will be billed simply as Crowder: solo artist. Therefore, one just has to wonder how this concert will be different from the history of the David Crowder Band sounds from the past. “It’s about 180, as far as the sonic quality,” Crowder explains. “The instrumentation is just miles apart. It’s all porch music. There’s nothing on stage that you can’t have on a porch and sing along with after a good meal, or something to that effect. No computers or any of that stuff we used to be doing in the Crowder Band. This is just all traditional instrumentation—banjos and dobros and fiddles and upright basses— that kind of thing. For one, that’s a drastic departure from where we were. Although we dabbled in acoustic arrangements, we couldn’t leave the computer alone. I’m just trying to do that for a few years and see what happens.” Nevertheless, fans of the David Crowder Band will still have a chance to hear some group favorites. “It’s kind of split,” Crowder elaborates. “We’ll be reinterpreting much of the things that lived with us as the Crowder Band in this new outfit, and also there’s new stuff I’m kind of hackling through while making the new record. We already have a number of those new songs on the road with us at this point. And definitely as important as being in the studio by yourself, is getting those songs out amongst the people who are letting you know what’s supposed to

go. So it’ll be a little old and a little new all mixed in one place.” Although this combination of new songs, and older songs packaged in new wineskins, may be a stretch for audiences expecting a typical David Crowder Band show, the man that wrote the majority of them is overjoyed to mix it all up. “It’s fun for me because all those songs that I lived with for years, in their previous form, have taken on a new life, just for my own self and my own enjoyment,” Crowder admits. “Given my outlook on life, there’s a different layer of spirituality they’ve brought to me that just feeds or expands on what they’ve already meant to me as a person. So, that part’s been really, really fun. It’s like rediscovering a song as it turns brand new again.” For his new Crowder Band-less music, Crowder has both a sonic and a visual vision already formed in his head for it. This vision was initially inspired by a small church Crowder once visited in West Virginia, which is set in the middle of town with its steeple pointed up toward the heavens. “That’s the metaphor for understanding faith,” Crowder says. “Here we have our feet stuck on the ground and there’s this edifice, this piece of architecture in the center and the heart of our city, or village or town, whatever you want to call it, that’s pointing to something that’s more transcendent. That lifts your eyes above the fray, so to speak. So there’s that visual metaphor that exists in our communal life, whether you’re buying in or not, there’s that hope that is present in the here and now. So that’s kind of formed what I want to do with this music and even the instrumentation. I want it to be really rootsy and grounded, and at the same time future-oriented.” Winter Jam is not just another festival for Crowder, however. It’s also a time for sincere fellowship among the artists. “The thing I loved about the last Winter Jam was we had these church services every Sunday where all the artists are in the room—all the crew folks and everybody that’s making this thing happen—there all together once a week, and one of the artists is leading the music and one of the pastors is speaking,” says Crowder. “And I look forward to that all week long. And it’s called ‘Jam Church,’ and I could not wait for Jam Church to happen. That was my highlight of the week.” IE David Crowder at Winter Jam, Citizens Business Bank Arena, 4000 E.

ARTs & Culture

Lula Washington Dance Theatre

The Majesty of Movement Witnessing the fine art of dance in Palm Desert By Aida B. Solomon

The McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert is presenting the first ever International Dance Festival this year, with a huge kick off from the 16th Annual Choreography Competition. The highly anticipated event will feature performances by three dance groups and daytime performances for the local community. The McCallum Theatre opened in the winter of 1988 named in honor of an infamous desert family and has been featuring some of the best and most diverse performing arts showcases in Southern California ever since. CEO and President Mitch Gershenfeld, the mastermind behind the festival, credits the recent trend of dance competitions to reality shows that have increased interest in the arts. “It seemed a natural progression for us to host a new venture that will attract to the Valley

dance aficionados, both old and new.” The 16th Annual Choreography Competition, which premieres the first weekend of the festival, is a muchanticipated event that allows both professional and undiscovered talent to and compete for cash prizes. All of the choreography is original, with dancers from all over the United States showcasing the most elaborate and unique performances under the solo, duet, small group and ensemble categories. Also dubbed “Dance Under the Stars” the festival will also feature workshops, awards and residences for stellar participants. The Choreography Competition is a program put on through the theatre’s education department and aims to provide the community the opportunity to experience the performing arts at affordable prices. The I.aM.mE Crew is one of the powerhouse dance crews that will be setting the stage on fire after the weekend kick-off.

First introduced to the world on the wildly popular MTV reality show America’s Best Dance Crew (ABDC), I.aM.mE Crew is a hip-hop based ensemble featuring dancers Phillip “Pacman” Chbeeb, Di “Moon” Zhang, Olivia “Chachi” Gonzales, Brandon “747” Harrell, and Emilio “Millie” Dosal, and Jana “Jaja” Vankova based in Houston, Texas. Ranging from early teens to their late ’20s, the I.aM.mE Crew creates a spectacle with tight choreography and fluid formations that wows audiences. After the crew won the coveted first prize on Season 6 of ABDC, I.aM.mE Crew have been performing all over the world krumping, tutting, and breakdancing skills alongside their “Brain Bangin’” selfproclaimed swag. Next on the roster is the Lula Washington Dance Theatre (LWDT), a dance ensemble with a rich history and even worthier cause. Created in 1980 by Lula Washington, the dance LesBalletJazzDeMontreal, Photo by Benjamin Von Wong

ensemble was originally gathered to serve underrepresented inner-city dancers in South L.A. The LWDT will be performing a set with a soundtrack by Terrence Blanchard, five-time Grammy winner composer and musician. In addition the LWDT will be performing different pieces including an “Ode to the Sixties,” a piece based on the Langston Hughes poem called “I’ve Known Rivers,” and “Beautiful Venus and Serena” about the tennis superstars who are also originally from South Los Angeles. Lula Washington and her dancers are multi-faceted creating choreography using classical ballet and modern techniques while incorporating elements of African and Caribbean dance. Finally we have BJM-Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal to round off the group coming all the way from Canada. The world-renowned “jazzy” ballet company was founded in 1972 by Genevieve Salbaing, Eva von Gencsy and Eddy Toussaint and is known for its modern and sultry numbers. Also celebrating its 40th anniversary, BJM has made its mark in the performing arts world with vivacious and impressive physical prowess of its dancers. While audiences have the great opportunity to witness the talents of three unique and talented dance troups, the McCallum Theatre Institute will also be presenting a Lifetime Achievement Award to Jacques D’Amboise, creator of the National Dance Institute and legendary choreography and dancer. More importantly, the McCallum Theatre Institute will also be featuring artists as a part of the Field Trip Series, allowing the local youth to partake in the performances. Although this just the beginning for the Palm Desert International Dance Festival, it already shows promise to become a lasting ritual in the IE. IE Palm Springs International Dance Fest at McCallum Theatre, 73000 Fred Waring Dr., Palm Desert, (760) 340-2787, www.mccallumtheatre.com. Nov. 9-16. $25-$200.

Two new films out this week deal with the theme of time in intriguing and vastly different ways. About Time is the latest offering from romanticcomedy master Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral) and follows the escapades of a young man who learns that he has the ability to time travel within the space of his own particular life and alter past events to create better present-day results. Meanwhile, Dallas Buyers Club looks at the stark yet heroic true story of Ron Woodroof, a homophobic straight man who contracted AIDS in the mid-1980s from engaging in risky sex with needle users and managed to save both his life and those of countless gay men by taking the chance on importing unapproved disease-fighting drugs from Mexico. Starring Matthew McConnaughey and Jared Leto in performances that will not only redefine their careers but likely earn them Oscars, Dallas Buyers Club hits hard with the message that patients don’t have to accept their doctors’ predictions and can live long and vibrant lives past their expected death dates. About Time is the easier film to digest and will likely be a big hit, depicting a romantic fantasy that almost anyone could wish for. Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) is a geeky man in his 20s who never has any luck with love, until one day his father (Bill Nighy) tells him that all men in their family have a secret ability to transform the past of their own personal lives and circumstances through very specific time travel. He uses this skill to romantic and humorous effect in order to win over a beautiful woman during a summer vacation, but fails. When he makes another attempt to lure an American woman named Mary (Rachel McAdams), however, he wins her over in glorious fashion but realizes he can never tell her what he’s done, or else risk looking crazy or dishonest.

As the two get married and have children, About Time shifts from being a clever comedy to a richer drama about the changes one goes through in life and in longtime marriages. Along the way, Tim keeps trying to use his secret ability to save or improve the lives of his loved ones, including saving his alcoholic sister from a terrible car crash caused by her being DUI. The problem is writer-director Richard Curtis has given viewers too much of a good thing. And while the movie is expertly acted and touchingly crafted, it feels somewhat stretched out and overlong as it goes through one relationship resolution after another. But the actors are all solid and the concept is an inventive one for the oftenpredictable genre. That fact, and the first half ’s frequently funny situations, should keep men from being too bored, while women will likely love it all the way through. Meanwhile, Dallas Buyers Club features a man with an entirely different dilemma. Woodroof (McConnaughey) has checked into a hospital because he’s looking gaunt and feeling dizzy after dropping a ton of weight in a matter of months. He learns that he has full-blown AIDS and that doctors are giving him 30 days to live, which comes as a double shock because he has only heard that AIDS is a disease afflicting gay men. But when he accepts his fate and learns that the only drug being tested to fight AIDS— AZT—is, in fact, hastening most patients’ deaths in trial runs, Woodroof heads south of the border and learns that a rogue doctor has a variety of other medications and proteins that are succeeding. Making deals with that doctor as well as Rayon (Leto), the drag queen who was in the next bed over from him in the hospital, he beats the system and charges of illegally selling the drugs by setting up a “buyers club” in which any person who pays $400 a month can have all the drugs they need to survive. Of course, this means that the unlikely duo of Woodruff and Rayon are left to not only fight to save their lives but also do battle with the Food and Drug Administration every step of the way. Director Jean-Marc Vallee and writers Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack have given their superb stars plenty to work with and audiences lots of compelling material to consider, with the film mixing dark humor, dramatic tension and well-earned tears to share the tale of an unlikely hero who not only survived for years but led the way to saving millions of lives. About Time is as soft an R as one can imagine, with barely enough foul language and sex talk to merit its rating, while Dallas Buyers Club is a full-on ride through the dark side of life and a very hard R. But moviegoers who give each a chance will find that their own time was rather well spent. IE

LIVING LOYAL The Lotus Garden has Chinese fare that’s bloomin’ with creativity and flavor By Allan Borgen Having been open since 1986, the Lotus Garden Chinese Restaurant is considered by many to be the premier Chinese restaurant in the IE—and for good reason. The food is fresh and always tasty, the portions are plenty and the service is friendly and attentive. What more could any diner want? Lotus Garden’s success can be attributed to both of the owners who have exhibited a long-time dedication to being present at the restaurant at all times. A majority of the cooks and servers have also worked at the Lotus Garden for many years, as well. As you enter the large, free-standing Pagoda style-restaurant, you are greeted by a serene Asian-themed water fountain and a large, happy Buddha whose timeless smile ensures that you’ll leave the restaurant with a similar happiness. The menu features a large variety of both traditional as well as some original Szechwan and Mandarin dishes. One of my favorite appetizers is the Crab Rangoon. This popular appetizer consists of eight deep-fried wontons that are stuffed (there’s no exaggeration here, I mean absolutely stuffed) with delicious cream cheese, shrimp and crab filling. These are without a doubt the best wontons I’ve ever had! The Lotus Garden’s main house special, Three Flavors in a Basket is a beautifully fried noodle basket filled with ample amounts of chicken, beef, shrimp and assorted Chinese vegetables arrived. It took a lot of restraint to avoid devouring it instantly. The assorted meats and veggies were wok’ed in a flavorful sauce and lovingly placed inside a large crisp noodle basket. In addition to the delightful goodies found inside the noodles, tearing the basket apart and enjoying each thin pasta

strand became a therapeutic stress reliever. Another house special that I have ordered and loved for many years is the Shrimp A La Chef which offers a huge portion of lightly breaded and crispy fried shrimp coated with a sweet and pungent sauce, surrounded by fresh broccoli. The dish not only looked gorgeous but the contrasting flavors and textures of the shrimp and broccoli was outstanding. On my next flight of dishes came the classic Kung Pao Chicken, the Whole Crispy Chicken and the exciting Orange Peel Beef. All Chinese restaurants have Kung Pao Chicken on their menu, it’s a plain-and-simple staple of Chinese cuisine. However the sauce which this dish is cooked in is better than any other competing Kung Pao sauces; it marryies the chicken and peanuts perfectly. One of the best values of the evening was the Whole Crispy Chicken which was a massive order of marinated and fried chicken that can take up to 20 minutes to prepare. For those who are patient, the tasty chicken is outstanding and well worth the wait. Lastly, the wonderful Orange Peel Beef features thin slices of beef that’s lightly floured and deepfried until each slice is nice and crisp. With the added sautéed dried orange peels, chili-pods and green onions in a zesty orange soy sauce makes it a joy to experience. I have been a long-time customer of the Lotus Garden since it first opened it’s doors over 25 years ago. Once you have experienced the food, you too will become a loyal customer!

Man of La Mancha Thru Sun, Nov. 10

With social media, television and an endless amount of gadgets to keep us entertained, who has time to see a play? Instead of wasting your mental capacity browsing through photos or downloading pointless apps, engage yourself in a tale of friendship, bravery and passion. As a local favorite of the Inland Empire, Lifehouse Theater in Redlands has made it a goal to offer quality theater for all to enjoy and to get away from life’s distractions. Closing out their month long run of Man of La Mancha, Lifehouse Theater hopes to wow audiences with an intriguing story performed by a talented cast. With nothing left to lose, the play’s main character Miguel de Cervantes is thrown in a dungeon awaiting trial for wrong-doing he’s committed against the church. With dreams of being a famed playwright, one of Cervantes’ last cherished possessions is an unfinished manuscript that will be confiscated if his trial goes astray. In an attempt to save his manuscript and preserve his freedom, Cervantes proposes his defense in the form of a play. Approved by the court, Cervantes and his manservant take on the roles of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, telling a gripping tale of chivalry and the fight against all the wrong in the world. With five Tony Awards under its belt, Man of La Mancha is a legendary Broadway production that has been celebrated worldwide. You will thank yourself for getting away from your phone screen and experiencing a riveting live performance. (Victoria Banegas) IE Lifehouse Theater, 1135 N. Church St. Redlands, (909) 355-3037; www.lifehousetheater.com, Various Times. $14.

Cass McCombs Tues, Nov. 12

This modern-day-troubadour that wanders about from town to town is hard to track down, because he prefers life on the road. Cass McCombs keeps to himself as much as he can, and he isn’t into social media. He lives a simpler life that many musicians see as a death sentence to their careers, because it’s one that’s almost entirely out of the limelight. He isn’t searching for the glitz or the glamour—he will not be told that there’s a “proper” way to sing and play by some record label. Instead, he plays whatever his heart desires as long as he’s got an acoustic guitar in his hand and a vision in his mind. His lyrics are emotional and often tell a story in ways many musicians will not: full of diction, life and oftentimes, with way too much information in the lyrics. His songs are unconventionally catchy. His latest album, Big Wheel and Others, is an ambitious project that’s just as inexplicable as its creator. The 22-track album has no concept and no solid direction musically, but things don’t always need to add up to be good. The tracks vary as much as life does. Overall, McCombs is perfect artist to play and travel through the middle of the desert amongst some of the coolest people alive.

BELLA VISTA WINERY. This winery claims it was the first Temecula vineyard (around since 1968). Now for a little history lesson, courtesy of the Bella Vista Website: The Temecula wine region began developing in the mid-‘60s when the Kaiser Land Development Company purchased what was known as Vail Ranch in 1964, and began investing in and marketing the Temecula Valley. Horticulturalists were brought in to evaluate the area, and, along with avocados, the experts determined that wine vineyards were well suited for the valley. The cool moist air from the coast would settle in the Temecula Appellation in the evening and would burn off the following morning, perfect for grape growing. First planted in 1968, five acres of the original Bella Vista acres are still

producing adjacent to the winery, which was built in 1978. Unlike gym socks, when it comes to wine, older can be so much better. 41220 Calle Contento, Temecula, 951.676.5250; http://bellavistawinery.com. BIG BEAR ALPINE ZOO. The Moonridge Animal Park arose from the ashes of forest fires in 1959 that devastated the natural ecosystem of the San Bernardino Mountains. Several injured animals were brought to safety for rehabilitation and a second chance at life in the wild. But for some, returning to the forest was not an option due to human imprinting or injuries that would compromise their survival. Enter the humane and dedicated folks at Moonridge, who created an Alpine zoo, where all the animals are native to our local mountains. Learn more about our furry, feathered and scaly friends through daily feeding tours, in the education center, or in the library.

You can pick up an adventure pass that gives you access to the local hiking and off-road trails, hiking and biking maps, camping info, or take a naturalist-led interpretive program (wild flower tour, canoe tour, offroad tour, any sort of mountainous tour your heart desires!) or take in a concert under the stars. 40971 North Shore Dr., on Hwy. 38 one mile west of Stanfield Cutoff, Big Bear Lake, 909.866.3437; www.bigbeardiscoverycenter.com.

calendar

By Eric Francis

Aries (March 20-April 19) Your plans may unfold more slowly than you were expecting, as if you’re living in a parallel world where time runs at half-speed. It would be a good idea to seek out someone’s assistance, or to notice who is in your environment—most likely a professional and not a friend or relative—and willing to assist with your healing mission. One other purpose of taking work, projects and social activities slower is so that you can place your focus on what appears to be a significant transition in a personal relationship. This relates directly to your healing path, and though you cannot control the outcome, you can influence it in a positive way by being attentive to your own needs and always taking responsibility for what you can do to improve the situation, starting with yourself. Taurus (April 19-May 20) Driving is a metaphor for life. Notice the road conditions at all times, make sure you’re in good shape to be behind the wheel, and most important, stay in your lane. I mean knowing whether you’re going toward something or away from it; whether you’re approaching or avoiding, and why. The approach/avoid thing seems to involve something you’re simultaneously to remember and to forget. In truth you’re at an absolutely unique crossroads in your life, and you may feel you have to make a huge decision right now. Where there is a commitment, it has already been made. Where one is lacking, that much will be obvious. Gemini (May 20-June 21) Do you feel like you’re trying to pass some kind of psychic kidney stone? Thankfully, unlike the physical body, the spiritual body has the ability to process large ‘objects’ in a way that doesn’t force them through tiny openings. Your astrology can be illustrated with some ideas from homeopathy, a branch of medicine more people deserve to know about. When it works, homeopathy seems like magic, and compared to other forms of medicine, there’s relatively little the patient has to endure. Honesty and awareness—perhaps the two things most lacking in our world now, and the fact that they’re missing is one of the most prevalent causes of sickness. What passes for healing is usually denial and suppression of the symptoms. You’re ready for the real thing. Cancer (June 21-July 22) Has the whole sex thing been a little weird, whether mired in karma, needlessly complex or seemingly nonexistent? You may find the topic annoying and wish it would go away, or feeling some deep need, wishing something would actually happen. Count yourself lucky if you’re experiencing this on the level of “you can’t always get what you want, but you can get what you need”—though where sex is concerned, that’s pretty boring. You have reached a kind of crux point on whatever it is that you’re going through; events of the next few weeks are likely to come with a bold transformation, and to reveal the deeper contents of your feelings. Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) The central question of this month’s solar eclipse is safety—when and where you feel grounded and confident of your environment. While this may seem to be about having a dry roof, food to eat and dependable companionship, the question quickly slips into how you feel about yourself. Self-criticism is one of the most direct pathways into feeling threatened or unpleasantly vulnerable. How safe you feel reflects how much you like yourself. If you feel unsafe in your environment for direct reasons you can document, that, too, may be a reflection of how you feel about yourself. Whatever may be the case, you are in a phase where you can take some giant steps toward learning about self-esteem. If you think you need a reason to feel good about yourself, I suggest you go deeper. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) You stand to benefit significantly from all manner of weird events that unfold over the next month or so. It may not seem that way, though I suggest the best strategy is to maintain your independence and stay out of the fray—until you notice that it’s the perfect time to make your move. Let the adventures, misadventures, games and dramas develop for a while, as you pull back and get the wide view. Give people space to be themselves, and give yourself space to be yourself. In the meanwhile—be optimistic. Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) There is a cosmic feeling to your charts right now, as if you encounter some spiritual intervention that helps you

work out an emotional knot you’ve been carrying around but it looks like something is about to come to fruition. I will say this, however: the die is not cast. Your imagination will have an influence, though when you go there, you may experience some fear. Consider that fear a psychological response to the expression of your potential power. If you feel guilt, consider that direct evidence that you’re moving in the right direction—that of claiming your value, your personal power, your resources and your independence. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) Scorpio has a reputation for being the sign of jealousy. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood emotions, that goes along with Scorpio being one of the most misunderstood signs. You seem to have been grappling with jealousy lately, whether your own or that of someone else. It doesn’t matter which; you would need to address it in either case, and the same awareness is called for. If you find yourself feeling especially strong emotions, including the desire to control anyone in any form, pause and notice what’s going on beneath the tempest. Don’t be distracted by the surface layer or cast of characters. The real subject matter is between you and existence, or said another way, what you encounter walking that fine line between existence and nonexistence. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) You seem to be working through the whole love vs. fear thing—that there are two emotions, and that all other feelings and sensations emerge from one or the other. One does not cancel the other out or compensate for the other; there really is a choice. However, you may be getting the occasional torrent of fear that obscures the love you’re feeling. There’s a potential lure to the fear in that it’s blended with passion, potentially sexual passion. It may reach into some of your deepest, darkest desires, yet at the core is a form of anxiety. You may be wondering where the fear will go, if you choose to place the home known as your soul on love. There’s a vent opening up, through which fear or any other negative emotion can be returned to the universe as unconditioned energy—liberating you in the process. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You may not feel like the flavor of the month, but if you refuse to be swayed by group opinion, you’ll discover how much respect people have for you. At the same time you’ll discover a new depth of self-respect. This word—respect—means to see again. There’s a re-evaluation implied, with the result being seeing something that you hadn’t seen before. This lends some credence to the idea that respect can be earned or gained as people get to know one another, or get to know themselves. Therefore, allow some time to pass, during which there may be a bit of confusion, mixed or missed messages, and a little competition for a niche. Remember, though, that your niche is all your own—the thing you do that nobody else can do; the gift you have that is yours alone, and which you may discover in the process of offering it to others. Make room for a discovery process—there’s plenty to discover. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) I’ve often pondered the phrase ‘authority issues’. One definition is not knowing one’s place in the order of things. The result can be attempting to act with greater influence than one has, or with far less. True authority begins with your relationship to yourself. It becomes real the moment you recognize that no other person can dictate that relationship, no matter how hard they try and regardless of what happened in the past. One attribute of finding your authority will be taking back your consciousness from hijacking by these inner voices. The first step in this process is recognizing that they are not you. They may seem convincing but really, if you listen carefully, you will be able to hear the difference. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) It is amazing how the division between that which is erotic and that which is spiritual is so successfully pushed as a political agenda. Perhaps it’s even more astounding that it still works. It will work for as long as sex and/ or some form of allegedly spiritual idea are accepted as ways to gain power over people— and people are willing to give that power away. You’ve reached a point in your growth where this is simply untenable. Rather than trying to dismantle the power trip, I suggest you focus on the essentially spiritual beauty of pleasure, be it of body, of soul, of the emotions, of nature or all of the above.

The park now utilizes 11 historic buildings, houses and packing sheds as a sort of artist’s colony.

LEONESSE CELLARS. The word Leonesse, meaning “village of dreams,” is the inspiration behind this winery’s quest to create world-class wines from the Temecula Valley (not to be confused with Field of Dreams, which is about world-class baseball players).

Have yourself a taste when you pop in for a tour of the enchanting grounds or to take in one of their popular concerts. 38311 De Portola Rd., Temecula, 951.302.7601; www. leonessecellars.com.

Access to the museum grounds is free, riding the trains costs $12 for adults and $8 children 5-11. Free for children under 5. Actually being able to operate a locomotive: $190 an hour. All aboard! 2201 S. A St., Perris, 951.657.2605 or 951.943.3020; www.oerm.org. PERRIS VALLEY SKYDIVING. Perris Valley Skydiving, the largest skydiving center in North America, offers so many ways for you to fall out of the sky, I can’t even begin to tell you. Spectators are welcome to recline on the grassy lawn and watch the parachutes play against the blue sky. But everyone can enjoy the 3,600 sq. ft. Bombshelter Bar and Grill, which contains a comprehensive collection of skydiving memorabilia, as well as num-nums. 2091 Goetz Rd., Perris, 800.832.8818; www.skydiveperris.com. PIONEERTOWN.

lin’ ‘n’ eatin’), Pioneertown Motel (sleep where the stars slept), Historic Hayden Ranch (to really feel like a movie cowboy), and Rimrock Ranch Cabins (“The High Desert Getaway for Stressed-out City Dwellers”).

Cartwright’s education includes chemistry, environmental science and enology (the study of wine and the making of wine).

Final

Word The first rule about global warming is you don’t talk about global warming. Or at the very least, you don’t question its existence to the Los Angeles Times. If you do, you’ll end up like a polar bear set adrift in the Arctic Ocean, trying to balance four paws on an ice cube. “Letters that have an untrue basis (for example, ones that say there’s no sign humans have caused climate change) do not get printed,” Jon Healey wrote recently. Healey is a Los Angeles Times editorial writer and a big fan of printing truthful humans. So is apparently fellow Times staffer Paul Thornton, who later clarified the paper’s position: “Simply put, I do my best to keep errors of fact off the letters page; when one does run, a correction is published. Saying ‘there’s no sign humans have caused climate change’ is not stating an opinion, it’s asserting a factual inaccuracy.” Gentleman, please, I think people are full of crap all the time. I spend the majority of my time yelling at TVs and flipping off laptop computers—and that’s just in the electronics department at Target. But sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting “La-La-La, I can’t hear you!” works when you’re 5. It doesn’t work when you’re the fourth largest newspaper in the United States. And as editors of an opinion section, occasionally you’re supposed to ask other people for their—jeez, what’s the word for it, oh right—opinion. Sometimes you’re even supposed to put it in “quotes.” Do I think global warming exists? Probably. Then again, I also grew up being taught Pluto was a planet and Christopher Columbus discovered America. Here’s the thing about people you don’t agree with: Mostly they’re full of shit. But they also offer a different perspective. Remember the first time somebody told you to wear khaki shorts covered in pockets, or that a drive-through could sell just coffee, or you should take Marky Mark seriously as an actor, or that Arnold Schwarzenegger would make a really good governor, and then a really bad governor? The first time you heard any of these statements, you probably thought they were utterances of a crazy person. Crazy people say crazy things all the time. They have theories for everything. They think everyone is out to get them,

everything is being poisoned and that somehow there’s a tiny camera implanted in their molars that can record MP3s. And every day, no matter how wonderful or perfect, a crazy person thinks it’s going to end in misery with everyone finally pointing and giving credit to Nelson or Harold or whomever, and saying, “You were right, Crazy Harold. All this time! Oh how we should’ve listened to the man who drinks his own urine!” Because here’s another thing about crazy people: Sometimes they turn about to be correct. For years, crazy people told us the government was stealing and reading our email. And it turns out the National Security Agency is stealing and reading our email. Maybe the earth is getting warmer because of manmade pollutants and emissions. Or maybe we’re all suffering from the same low-grade fever engineered by the Pentagon and everything just feels warmer. Or maybe the Russians secretly flew into space while we were all watching the season finale for Breaking Bad and inserted a giant magnifying glass over the sun. I’m not saying any of these scenarios are probable or should even be investigated. But newspapers were built on the freedom of the press, and that freedom includes talking out of your ass. It also includes the protection to have and express a dissenting opinion, no matter how vociferously two erasersniffing nimrods at the Los Angeles Times disagree. This isn’t about global warming. This isn’t even about who’s right or wrong. If it were, every sportswriter who picked the Lakers to be good this season would be in trouble. This is about one voice getting to decide for the rest of us. And whether it’s global warming, health care or Soup Plantation, you should have the right to choose. The LA Times prints horoscopes, Beetle Bailey and Sudoku. The least they can do is publish Crazy Harold’s theories about global warming—if he’s not too busy looking for Hitler’s gold. IE
