Modernism Week returns in February, although in a different way than previous years. Local and state requirements for gatherings and social distancing prompted Modernism Week to offer two versions of its popular event - the February Modernism Week Online Experience (Feb. 1 – 28, 2021) and an additional festival featuring in-person events running from April 8-18, 2021.

The Modernism Week Online Experience will feature more than 25 newly created programs specifically for Modernism Week, available for on-demand streaming starting February 1, 2021 and available for viewing for the entire month.

The February Online Experience video programs include guided tours and presentations similar to events that would usually be available during Modernism Week as in-person events, including

the popular Modernism Week Signature Home Tour Video Series.

Additional encore presentations of programs previously offered in October are also be available. Ticket prices range from $15-$45 per event, with a few free film screenings. The pricing allows for one household with one viewing device to participate.

In addition, Modernism Week will offer an online auction during the February festival that will feature unique architectural experiences and specialty items not typically available to the public.

The auction and tickets for these online programs will be available for purchase starting February 1 at modernismweek.com.

MODERNISM VISIONARIES

ALBERT FREY Albert Frey belonged to a generation that believed in a political role for modern architecture, that of social liberation through machine-made, egalitarian and affordable designs. His chosen materials were aluminum, glass, cables and, eventually, the very boulders and sands of the desert where he settled. In a career that spanned more than 65 years, Mr. Frey remained true to the principle that architecture should make the most of the least. His best known works he created in the Palm Springs of the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. In 1939, Frey moved to Palm Springs. He became part of the movement championed by other California modernists including John Lautner to emphasize the central place of nature in modern architecture.

DONALD WEXLER One of the most celebrated Midcentury Modern architects, Donald Wexler designed classic buildings in the spot that became ground zero for that era — Palm Springs Wexler, who was nicknamed “the Man of Steel” for the now-treasured homes and the rest of his work. He designed the main terminal of Palm Springs International Airport with its soaring view of the mountains, the Royal Hawaiian Estates development on a Polynesian theme, and Dinah Shore’s home, recently purchased by Leonardo DiCaprio, which could be the ultimate “Mad Men” house with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls, sunken bar and massive stone fireplace. Though his work was in demand, he thought of himself as a journeyman architect. But when midcentury design was widely rediscovered, he finally received renown and the homes he designed jumped in value.

E. STEWART WILLIAMS E. Stewart Williams, an architect whose many works in Palm Springs included a home for Frank Sinatra, helped define what became known as the Desert Modern style.

Williams designed many public buildings in Palm Springs, including Temple Isaiah, which won an award from the American Institute of Architecture in 1949. In the 1950’s and 60’s, he completed several commissions for local banks and designed the mountain station for the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. In addition he was an extremely meticulous architect who had his hand in almost every aspect of his projects. He designed built-ins, light fixtures, mailboxes, and even light switches.

WILLIAM F. CODY Cody, an Ohio-born architect who graduated from USC in 1942 and began working in Palm Springs on the Desert Inn in 1945, was also seen as someone who went his own way. He didn’t take a purist’s perspective on design, and would take client’s invitations to design whatever they want, and go as far as he possibly can.

Projects such as the curvaceous St Theresa’s Church, or Googie-esque Huddle’s Spring restaurant, show him breaking out of the straight lines that often defined midcentury modernism. And, at a time when the cadre of Palm Springs architects would help each other, passing on jobs or collaborating on projects, Cody rarely worked with others. His projects ranged from residential homes and condominiums, to commercial centers and industrial complexes, to city and community master planning.

JOHN LAUTNER Known for his residences, Lautner was also well-known for the commercial genre named for his design of Googie’s Coffee Shop in Los Angeles. Distinctive for its expansive glass walls, arresting form, and exuberant signage oriented to automobiles, Googie became a fixture in 1950s America but was regularly ridiculed by the architectural community. Lautner’s reputation suffered, despite that fact his designs were as good as ever. Following some lean years, he rose again in the 1960s with the Chemosphere House and pouredconcrete houses such as the Elrod Residence Palm Springs.

WILLIAM KRISEL William Krisel, AIA, is one of the most important figures in modern architecture since the 1950s. His influence has been far-reaching; he is one of the few architects to have succeeded in the challenge of bringing modernism to the general public. His designs have fundamentally re-defined how we live today.

THROW BACK EATS AND DRINKS TO SET THAT MID CENTURY MOD MODE

BY CHRIS ASTRALA

Modernism Week is upon us, and even though the event is a virtual one this year, you should still try to make the best out of it.

And what better way to do so than with some comfort food and drink from the era. So kick back, martini in hand, in front of your computer, TV or smart device and take a virtual trip back in time.

RETRO HORS D’OEUVRES Finger foods were a popular party food during that time. Think chips and dip, mixed nuts, and deviled eggs; any items that can be easily eaten with one hand while holding a drink in the other.

Hors d’oeuvres consisting of both small bites of warm and cold foods are exactly the simple kinds of foods you will want for your menu.

Stuffed mushrooms were a cocktail party staple of the early 60s, and they will be just as popular with your guests today. Add some shrimp cocktail and an assortment of canapés to easily round out the menu.

Serve stuffed mushrooms, smoked salmon canapés, deviled eggs, cream cheese stuffed celery, onion dip and chips, mixed nuts, mini cheese balls, and Li’l Smokies wrapped in bacon.

Give everything a modern upgrade by using premium ingredients and adding little extras.

16 THESTANDARDPS.COM

The smoked salmon canapés were served on rounds of cucumber instead of bread. The traditional large cheese ball served with crackers was made into individual mini cheese balls served on picks.

COCKTAIL HOUR When it comes to the cocktails, keep them simple. Pick one or two to be your signature cocktails of the night, along with an alcoholic punch. Fantastic classic drinks to serve are martinis, the Old Fashioned, or even the Mai Tai. DRESS THE ERA Almost as important as the cocktails and food is the attire. And although it might seem silly to dress up just to stay at home, you will not believe how good you’ll feel; plus it will be a great departure from sweatpants an t-shirts. A trip to the thrift store (again masked, of course) can supply you with all kinds of vintage clothing accessories.

Most of all, remember have fun with it, go crazy; lord knows we all need a bit of escapism.

BOOK REVIEW

ALWAYS OVERBOOKED

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER Life, as they say, is an open book.

When you’re born, someone else starts writing it for you, but it doesn’t take long for you to be your own author. Through the years, you’ll scribble ideas, compose thoughtfully, add chapters, and crumple pages. Your life’s book might be a series of quick notes, long essays, one-liners or, as in “Eleanor” by David Michaelis, you could build an epic story.

In today’s world, we might call Eleanor Roosevelt’s mother abusive: Anna Hall Roosevelt never had a kind word to say to her daughter, often mockingly calling little Eleanor “Granny.” It’s true that Eleanor wasn’t lithe and beautiful like her mother; she was awkward and stern, a Daddy’s girl for an often-absent, alcoholic father.

Orphaned by the time she was 12, Eleanor had been longtold that she was homely and plain but school chums knew her as a caring girl with a sharp mind. That intelligence later caught the eye of the dashing Franklin Roosevelt, a somewhat-distant cousin who courted her with the nose-holding approval of his mother.

It was a good match, but only for a short while: too quickly, it was apparent that Eleanor and Franklin were colossally mismatched.

She needed him to need her but he couldn’t – not in the way she wanted, so she found love in the arms of another man and a woman.

Her compassion for others, a rather acquired sense, helped buoy his ambition; his ambition gave her a reason to dig in and reach out to their fellow Americans in need. Despite that it invited controversy from Washington insiders, Roosevelt changed the office of the First Lady by ignoring what past First Ladies had done, once they reached the White House and beyond...

Readers who are not deep historians are in for many layers of surprise inside “Eleanor,” the first being Roosevelt’s early life, and the racism she exhibited as a young woman. Famously, she was a champion of African Americans during the years of her husband’s time as President and beyond, and she strove for equality, but author David Michaelis shows a sort of axis of attitude that the former First Lady experienced.

His portrayal is balanced with compassion: Michaelis lets us see a transformation in the pages of this book and it’s fascinating to watch. Rather than romanticize Roosevelt, Michaelis paints her as someone with flaws that she may not have overtly acknowledged but that she learned to work around. This becomes abundantly clear in tales of the warmth Roosevelt craved but was denied by her husband and the relationships she enjoyed in open secret, including a passionate love she shared with reporter Lorena Hickock and a

much-debated, possible affair with State Trooper Earl Miller. Such tales are told matter-of-factly and without salaciousness, though you may feel a whoop of delight at a supposedly staid Depression-era White House that really was a den of dalliance.

Don’t let its heft frighten you away: “Eleanor” may be wide but so is its story. Indeed, you’ll be carried away when you open this book.

BLACK LGBTQ TRAILBLAZERS WHO MADE HISTORY

BY JEROME FLYNN

February marks the start of Black History Month, a federally recognized celebration of the contributions African Americans have made to this country and a time to reflect on the continued struggle for racial justice.

From 1960s civil rights activist Bayard Rustin to Chicago’s first black female and lesbian mayor, Lori Lightfoot, black LGBTQ Americans have long made history with innumerable contributions to politics, art, medicine and a host of other fields.

“As long as there have been black people, there have been black LGBTQ and same-gender-loving people,” added David J. Johns, executive director of the National Black Justice. “Racism combined with the forces of stigma, phobia, discrimination and bias associated with gender and sexuality have too often erased the contributions of members of our community.” In honor of Black History Month, we pay tribute to a few notable LGBTQ Black pioneers.

Gladys Bentley (1907-1960) Bentley was a gender-bending performer during the Harlem Renaissance. Donning a top hat and tuxedo, Bentley would sing the blues in Harlem establishments like the Clam House and the Ubangi Club. According to a belated obituary published in 2019, The New York Times said Bentley, who died in 1960 at the age of 52, was “Harlem’s most famous lesbian” in the 1930s and “among the bestknown black entertainers in the United States.”

Bayard Rustin (1912-1987) Rustin was an LGBTQ and civil rights activist best known for being a key adviser to Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. He organized the 1963 March on Washington and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 2013 for his activism. In 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom pardoned Rustin for his arrest in 1953 when he was found having sex with two men in a parked car in Pasadena. Rustin served 50 days in Los Angeles County jail and had to register as a sex offender. In pardoning Rustin, Newsom noted how LGBTQ people were unjustly punished for their sexuality by U.S. law enforcement at the time Rustin’s arrest.

Stormé DeLarverie (1920-2014) A biracial, butch lesbian, DeLarverie was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was always a performer. As a teenager, she joined the Ringling Brothers Circus where she rode jumping horses. Then

22 THESTANDARDPS.COM

from 1955 to 1969, DeLarverie toured the black theater circuit as the MC — and only drag king — of the Jewel Box Revue, the first racially integrated drag revue in North America. She worked as a bouncer for several lesbian bars in New York City in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and held a number of leadership positions in the Stonewall Veterans Association. DeLarverie also served the community as a volunteer street patrol worker, and as a result, was called the “guardian of lesbians in the Village.” Beyond her LGBTQ activism, DeLarverie also organized and performed at fundraisers for women who suffered from domestic violence and their children.

James Baldwin (1924-1987) A writer and social critic, Baldwin is perhaps best known for his 1955 collection of essays, “Notes of a Native Son,” and his groundbreaking 1956 novel, “Giovanni’s Room,” which depicts themes of homosexuality and bisexuality. The novel stood out among literary critics because it features all white characters, unlike the civil rights activist’s other novels, which center the experiences of black people. Baldwin spent a majority of his literary and activist career educating others about black and queer identity, as he did during his famous lecture titled “Race, Racism, and the Gay Community” at a meeting of the New York chapter of Black and White Men Together (now known as Men of All Colors Together) in 1982.

Alvin Ailey (1931-1989) Ailey was a choreographer who founded the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, one of the most prominent dance companies globally, in 1958. His signature work, including “Cry” and “Revelations,” continue to be performed all over the world. In 2014, Ailey was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his influential work in bringing dance to underserved communities.

Audre Lorde (1934-1992) Lorde, a self-described “black, lesbian, feminist, mother, poet, warrior,” made lasting contributions in the fields of feminist theory, critical race studies and queer theory through her pedagogy and writing.

Among her most notable works are “Coal” (1976), “The Black Unicorn” (1978), “The Cancer Journals” (1980) and “Zami: A New Spelling of My Name” (1982). “I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t,” Lorde once said.

FEATURE Ernestine Eckstein (1941-1992) Eckstein was a leader in the New York chapter of Daughters of Bilitis, the first lesbian civil and political rights organization in the United States. She attended “Annual Reminder” picket protests and was frequently one of the only women — and the only black woman — present at early LGBTQ rights protests. Eckstein was also an early activist in the black feminist movement of the 1970s and was involved with the organization Black Women Organized for Action. According to historians, she viewed the fight for civil rights and LGBTQ rights as intrinsically linked.

Barbara Jordan (1936-1996) Jordan, a civil rights leader and attorney, became the first African American elected to the Texas Senate in 1966, and the first woman and first African American elected to Congress from Texas in 1972. Jordan was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom

by Bill Clinton in 1994 for her work as a political trailblazer. While Jordan never explicitly acknowledged her sexual orientation in public, she was open about her life partner of nearly 30 years, Nancy Earl.

Marsha P. Johnson (1945-1992) Marsha P. Johnson — who would cheekily tell people the “P” stood for “pay it no mind” — was an outspoken transgender rights activist and is reported to be one of the central figures of the historic Stonewall uprising of 1969. Along with fellow trans activist Sylvia Rivera, Johnson helped form Street Transgender Action Revolutionaries (STAR), a radical political organization that provided housing and other forms of support to homeless queer youth and sex workers in Manhattan. She also performed with the drag performance troupe Hot Peaches from 1972 through the ‘90s and was an AIDS activist with AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP).

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (1940 -) Miss Major is black transgender woman and activist at the forefront of the fight for trans rights. She faced many hurdles during her life — including homelessness and incarceration — and it’s these challenges that fueled her activism. In 2005, Miss Major joined San Francisco-based Trans Gender Variant and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP) as a staff organizer, and later as executive director, to lead the group’s efforts advocating for incarcerated trans women. She has often spoken out against the prison system, which she says contributes to the incarceration of transgender individuals, particularly trans people of color and those with low incomes. Now 79, Miss Major, known to many simply as “Mama,” resides in Little Rock, Arkansas, where she continues to be a vocal activist.

Ron Oden (1950 -) When Oden was elected mayor of Palm Springs, California in 2003, he made history by becoming the first openly gay African

24 THESTANDARDPS.COM

American man elected mayor of an American city. Following Oden’s historic election 18 years ago, the Palm Spring City Council made history once again: In December 2017, it became America’s first allLGBTQ city council.

Phill Wilson (1956 -) A prominent African American HIV/AIDS activist, Wilson founded the Black AIDS Institute in 1999, in part inspired by the death of his partner from an HIV-related illness and his own HIV diagnosis. In 2010, Wilson was appointed to President Obama’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. Wilson also served as a World AIDS Summit delegate and advocated for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to provide additional funding to black groups so they would have the resources to educate and mobilize their community around HIV/AIDS issues. His work resulted in the “Act Against AIDS” campaign, now known as the “Let’s Stop HIV Together” campaign, which promotes HIV testing, prevention and treatment.

Andrea Jenkins (1961 -) Jenkins made history in November 2017 by becoming the first openly transgender black woman elected to public office in the U.S., according to LGBTQ advocacy groups and researchers. Jenkins, a Democrat, was one of two openly trans people to win a seat on the Minneapolis City Council in 2017. She is also a published poet and an oral historian at the University of Minnesota.

Willi Ninja (1961-2006) Ninja was a dancer, choreographer and the “Grandfather of Vogue,” the dance style that he helped propel to the national stage. Vogueing, characterized by angular body movements and exaggerated runway poses, was introduced to the public in the awardwinning 1990 documentary “Paris Is Burning,” which Ninja appeared in, and was popularized by Madonna’s 1990 hit song “Vogue.”

Lori Lightfoot (1962 -) A former prosecutor with no experience in elected office, Lightfoot swept all 50 of Chicago’s wards in the 2019 mayoral runoff election after promising to end the city’s famed backroom dealing. She is the city’s first ever black female mayor and its first openly LGBTQ mayor.

Alphonso David (1970 -) In 2019, David became the first person of color to lead the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ advocacy group in the U.S., in the organization’s nearly 40-year history. A graduate of the Temple University School of Law, David served as an attorney for Lambda Legal, working on LGBTQ cases around the country, and as the first openly gay counsel to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

HOW TO MODERNIZE YOUR “LOCKDOWN” HOUSE

BY DANN FOLEY We find ourselves almost a year out from the first Covid-19 lockdown. In that time life as we know it has changed. For all of the upsetting and disheartening changes, we also have learned much about ourselves and how we live. Our homes have been reimagined as offices, school rooms, bakeries, gyms, salons and every interpretation our Covid weary minds have desired.

Having a better understanding of how we want to live has created a situation in the design industry that is almost unbelievable.

Manufacturers and design firms are overwhelmed with requests from clients for everything from new kitchens and bathrooms, to new furniture, décor, landscaping and more.

I have always traveled a great deal for my work and my clients.

In fact, I have not stayed home for this long in the last 30 years. At first it was a welcome respite from a very busy schedule, it slowly but surely has become suffocating. Like many of you I have turned my extra time and income (not being spent on travel, eating out, entertainment, etc.) to upgrades for my home.

In response to the unprecedented demand for design and products, I thought it might be helpful to give you some ideas for smaller or quicker changes that offer major impact on your life and lifestyle. I can assure you they work because all of these ideas I have actually executed in my own home. So, let’s get started…

•

EASY UPGRADES:

Paint & Wallpaper. It is easy and is the best way to personalize your home. You don’t have to repaint your entire house. Why not start with your family room or bedroom? If you want the effort to make a big impact without a lot of fuss, try painting or papering a feature wall that will help to ground that bed or sofa. The feature wall is most often the wall opposite from where you enter a room.

Wallpaper Sourcing. Finding wallpaper is hard during the pandemic but, don’t worry. One of the best sources is one you can use from home. Try www.wallpaperdirect.com. They have a huge selection of papers in every style, color and price point.

26 THESTANDARDPS.COM

Bed Makeover. This is one of my favorites! Buy a fresh mattress pad, add a memory foam topper and buy some new bedding. You do not have to get rid of everything you have, try mixing in new and interesting or contrasting patterns and colors to your bed ensemble to create a totally new look.

Cleaning. If you are like many who love all white beds, I offer you the best way to whiten and brighter those sheets and bedding without chlorine bleach. Simply add a half-cup of baking soda to the washing machine drum and white vinegar to the softener dispenser. Together these two items only make a messy paste. But when added to your wash cycle at different intervals with the water, they will brighten all your whites to like-new.

•

MEDIUM EFFORT UPGRADES:

New Front Door. This is one way of completely transforming the look of your home from inside and out. Update the style of the door. Add some glass if you have none. The light streaming into your entry will change your life! You can add frosted or reeded glass for privacy.

New Door Hardware. Even if you don’t want to change out your existing front door, try new hardware. A fresh handle and knob in a new style and finish is surprisingly satisfying. If you change the hardware don’t forget to match the hinges to your new finish. The hinges are like having the perfect accessories for a new outfit, it finishes the look.

Landscape Lighting. There are many ways of adding using this beautiful lighting to upgrade your front and back landscape. With all of the time we are spending at home, including at night, a beautiful landscape lighting plan can enhance your entire property and will be enjoyed from inside and outside your home. There are many available styles and pricing options for fixtures and transformers available. Try www.lowes.com and www.homedepot.com for a large selection of box sets that include the fixtures, transformer and wiring for the most cost-effective installations. I suggest you stay away from plastic fixtures or the solar powered lighting choices. The fixtures are flimsy and the solar power is often quite dim.

These are just a few things that you can do to modernize and upgrade your home, your style and your life. If you have become a master baker or gourmet chef during this time at home, adding new gadgets or upgraded appliances might be a game changer for your new lifestyle. If you have become a master of Zoom presentation for work, workouts or family gatherings, adding a professional grade microphone or lighting can make you the star of any video conference.

So, you see it just takes a bit of imagination. Thinking outside the box is more easily achieved when we have spent months at home staring at the walls and reinventing how we experience our homes, how we work and what recreation means to each of us. Get busy cooking, gardening, painting, wallpapering, washing, baking, exercising. Our homes are our refuge and our place of business, they have truly become the center of our lives. Why not make them everything we ever wanted and needed them to be?

Live Well!

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER

BY LEE LYNCH

Oh, hell, what can I say at a time like this? Did we think they’d simply go away?

When angry white criminals occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon back on January 2, 2016 and the seven miscreants were charged with federal conspiracy and weapons violations only to go scot free, When, in the 1980s and 1990s angry white Christians organized to legalize discrimination against their scapegoats-of-the-day, gays, in order to build a vast political machine, When a woman was killed by a white supremacist at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, When people of color are daily, hourly, victims of “officers of the law”, With Southern Poverty Law Conference workers putting their lives in jeopardy to identify and expose hate groups, With the American Civil Liberties Union and its sister social justice organizations unendingly trying to bring equality to a country that can’t or won’t provide it for its citizens; When sixty-four million voters choose a money-grubbing, power-grabbing, morally empty, strangely uneducated cheater to

28 THESTANDARDPS.COM

rule them, and make an American idol of him; When you’re Jewish, or your skin isn’t white, or you’re female, or your affectional preference scares people enough to make you a threat and a target; When Americans bomb their neighbors, When it’s dangerous to represent the citizens who elected you—we need to pay attention. We need to acknowledge that antidemocratic power is quietly accruing and will lash out, will harm rather than protect this too-trusting nation.

These rightist protestors are angry that gays can marry, they’re angry about a woman, especially a woman of color, becoming our vice president. They’re angry because they can’t get ahead, can’t pay their medical bills, and can’t put anything away for retirement. This anger is passed from generation to generation and as we become a more just and equal nation some of these Americans blame the newly enfranchised for taking away their jobs, or their right to be better than whoever is lowest on their totem poles. They’re striking back, but at the wrong people.

Right wing demonstrators apparently think wealthy Republicans represent them. Socially, they may. But it’s not affirmative action taking bread off their tables, it’s not gay marriage siphoning off the middle class. It’s not “satanic” Democrats lowering taxes on big business or

cutting food stamps, gutting Medicaid, and threatening to weaken Medicare and Social Security. Democrats are not the ones passing laws to weaken unions nor are they making it easier to give U.S. jobs to countries guilty of child labor, sweatshops, and pitiful wages.

Republicans are for big business. There’s a mutually beneficial relationship there: corporations fund their political campaigns and elected officials do corporations’ bidding. Like voting to consider corporations equal to humans. The campaign donations are used, in part, to target voters who are told that Democrats, progressives, socialists, liberals, whatever trigger word works, are harming Americans. The demonization is passed through certain churches, through organizations like the N.R.A., through some charter schools, through media designed for the purpose of telling lies.

They spread lies that smeared intelligent and capable Hillary Clinton so thoroughly that an insecure, bankrupt-prone idiot who knows nothing about government, foreign affairs, economics—about anything necessary to the office of President of the United States— was elected. Now, because he pandered to the anger and frustration of a populace frightened of change, opposed to inclusiveness, looking for a miracle, they seem to believe an economic evangelist

con man will lead the way to riches untold.

We should have expected it and done more to stop it. This is a capitalist nation. Nothing wrong with that. Except, when Republicans eased the restrictions on corporations, they unleashed a moneygrubbing free-for-all.

Unfettered capitalism is greed, pure and simple. Greed for profit and greed for power. And that’s what we have today, universal greed. Instead of taking care of its citizens, our government feeds that greed, starving those it was supposed to serve and protect, telling them all the while who to blame. While destroying the economy for the average American, these shameless elected corporate automatons duped laid-off factory workers, ex-service people, and unstable wanna-be rebel leaders. Duped them not into a revolution, but into murderous, cock-a-hoop self-sabotage.

The Republicans aren’t sitting in jails; the corporations aren’t sharing their riches. These dissenters, tools of a corporate, big brother world, aren’t going away. We, the people, cannot look away any more. http://www.leelynchwriter.com

DAPUPDATE

WELCOME TO DAP HEALTH: DESERT AIDS PROJECT’S NEW NAME AND EXPANDED MISSION

BY JACK BUNTING

DAP just unveiled a brand evolution honoring its 36-year history and its expanding role in public health and health equity.

“The name DAP Health more clearly conveys our commitment to the greater good and the diversity of over 8,000 people calling DAP Health their healthcare home,” said David Brinkman, CEO. “It also retains and honors our founding, with the letters DAP. For the first time in its history, the health center is changing how the community identifies it; a move it says will amplify its mission and values as the COVID crisis makes health equity more important than ever. More about the brand evolution, plus DAP services are available at daphealth.org.

“Our patient-centered model of care promises patients that we are there for them, regardless of economic or HIV status,” said David Brinkman “This name change will help the public identify DAP as an advocacy-based health center with the capacity and heart to meet our ongoing public healthcare needs.”

The new name is already appearing on DAP’s digital and social channels. Going forward, the new “DAP Health’” logo will also be featured on signage on clinics and buildings at the DAP campus in Palm Springs. The popular DAP mobile testing van will also be reimagined during a 12-month brand evolution rollout.

The change came after months of internal and external surveys, focus groups and conversations with thousands of patients, staff, donors, volunteers, and community leaders.

“We heard the community clearly when they told us that it was time for a name change, but the history of DAP should not be forgotten in the process,” explains David Brinkman. “This insight was key to keeping ‘DAP’ in our new name, allowing us to step boldly into the future, while honoring our past.”

DAP Health has plans to unveil two new spaces inside The Barbara Keller Love Building in 2021 that honor its 36-year history and the community members who built the organization.

30 THESTANDARDPS.COM

New Logo Inspired by Modernist Architect Luis Barragan The logo design was inspired by the work of renowned Mexican architect Luis Barragán, whose sophisticated mastery of color, light, and simple geometric forms created spaces that embodied serenity, beauty and joy.

“Any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake,” he once said.

The new logo’s use of color, shapes, and typography honors the history of Desert AIDS Project and takes the expanded mission of DAP Health forward.

A History Worth Remembering DAP began offering health equity and inclusion in 1984, a time when HIV was a “gay” mystery illness, and doctors were forbidden from treating people with AIDS. A group of off-duty medical professionals would meet AIDS patients secretly at night to administer treatments, and this was the beginning of Desert AIDS Project (now DAP Health).

In responding to health disparities caused by LGBTQ stigma, we have learned over decades how destructive it is when any human cannot access medical or behavioral healthcare in time. We also saw how quickly things can improve when someone gets the care they need.

We started by offering healthcare to the partners of our earliest AIDS patients, so that they could maintain their strength while rising to the challenge of caring for their loved one.

We saw the impact this extra care made on our patients and their partners, and the idea grew. Besides HIV and STI care and

FIRST DESERT AIDS WALK 1989

prevention, we started welcoming adults who don’t have HIV but who need ongoing healthcare with a primary care physician.

Today, DAP Health offers a uniquely sweeping set of services and relationships proven to stabilize lives in times of crisis. Humanitarian, inclusive, courageous, inventive, and conscientious, DAP Health understands that wellness brings hope, and that health equity leads to equality.

Thanks to our history, our team, our status as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and this community, we have continued to open our doors wider to serve more people.

Steadfast in Fight to End HIV DAP has the region’s largest team of HIV-specialized doctors with expertise in aging and thriving with HIV, and although the word “AIDS” no longer appears in the DAP Health logo, providing care to people with HIV (PWH), and ending the HIV epidemic, remain core to DAP Health.

Despite COVID, providing more HIV testing and better treatment for PWH remains essential to ending the HIV pandemic.

We will cut the time between diagnoses of HIV and entry into care for patients in 2021, and will make medication available quicker, a move to prevent people from falling out of care. DAP knows this will also help decrease HIV transmission rates.

DAP Health offers services that PWH need to stay healthy and un-transmittable to others. Patients become part of the DAP family beginning with testing, to linkage into care, and then being enrolled in medical and mental healthcare, dentistry, social services, and prescription access.

DAP Through the Years 1984 Public agencies and the healthcare system ignore the HIV epidemic in Coachella Valley, and a community of grass roots volunteers founds DAP. The first office is at 610 S. Belardo Road in Palm Springs.

1985 FDA approves the first test to detect HIV antibodies in blood, and DAP starts its own HIV/AIDS testing program.

1988 DAP moves into new offices at 750 S. Vella Road. The project provides health education and prevention programs on AIDS, HIV testing, social services and counseling support services to AIDS victims, their families and friends.

HOLLYWOOD LEGEND KIRK DOUGLAS GAVE THE SENDOFF AT THE VERY FIRST DESERT AIDS WALK IN 1989

1989 First Annual Desert AIDS Walk, a 10K held in downtown Palm Springs. Actor Kirk Douglas and wife Anne participated in the walk. Kirk spoke to the crowd before the participants hit the street.

Former President Gerald Ford and former first lady Betty Ford attended the post-walk picnic event.

1991 Desert AIDS Project expands its Vella Road offices and opens a medical clinic, which is staffed, full-time, by physician Bruce Lloyd and nurse practitioner Kathy McCauley, both formerly of the Riverside County Health Department’s clinic in Palm Springs. A full-time nurse, receptionist, lab technician and clinic manager were also hired.

1994: Humanitarian Steve Chase’s death from AIDS inspires the namesake event gala held yearly, inspiring others to join the cause of health equity. DAP opens a satellite office in Indio to provide HIV and Hep C screening, early intervention and case management services for underserved Hispanic/Latino communities.

1995 The very first Revivals store was opened in a back corner of the Desert AIDS Project office on Vella Road.

1998 DAP purchases a 44,000 square-foot campus in Palm Springs to meet the increasing demand for services and larger medical clinic.

2001 The Morris & Linda Linsky Food Depot opens on the DAP campus to fight food insecurity with healthy food distribution, grocery vouchers, and dietary guidance.

2007 Vista Sunrise Apartments opens, providing permanent supportive housing on the DAP campus.

2008 DAP opens the first adult, HIV-specialty dental clinic in Riverside County, addressing a serious need for people with HIV (PWH) needing dental care.

2010 2.7 million people worldwide become newly infected with HIV. DAP begins the decade focused on ending the epidemic.

2012 The Annette Bloch Cancer Center opens to specialize in HIV-related cancer research, screenings, treatment and prevention.

2014 DAP launches Get Tested Coachella Valley, the nation’s first non-profit-led, region-wide HIV testing, prevention, education and linkage to care initiative. Over 81,000 Coachella Valley residents were tested for HIV. 2015 DAP opens THE DOCK, a walk-in clinic providing HIV and STI testing and treatment with access to PrEP and PEP, and linkage to care.

2016 DAP opens the Hepatitis Center of Excellence to deliver comprehensive, state-of-the-art expertise to manage, support and

2017 DAP opens Transgender Health Program, offering gender-affirming services and care.

2018 DAP commits to doubling its operating capacity for providing patient-centered primary, HIV specialty, dental and behavioral healthcare to our community.

2019 Desert AIDS Project marks 35 years of caring for our community.

2020 The Blue and Green Clinics grand opening welcomes more new patients needing services. That same month, DAP opens the COVID Clinic to provide screening, treatment and vaccines, helping to conserve room at area hospitals throughout the pandemic.

Timothy Ray Brown, the first person to be cured of HIV, dies from non-HIV related issues.

2021 DAP adopts the name DAP Health, a move to reaffirm its promise to the HIV community and its history, while committing to the entire public health of the Coachella Valley in the 21st century.

FITNESS & MODERNISM

BY JILL LANGHAM

Here we are a few weeks into a new regime with hopes for unification and a sense of calm that has been absent for the last 4 years. I, for one am so very happy that we are moving forward and although I’m not naïve enough to think that everything that President Biden and Vice-President Harris will do, will please us all, I am extremely hopeful that they will give it their absolute Best!

In keeping with this month’s topic, Modernism, I wondered how I could incorporate it into my topic of fitness, so I chose to look carefully at the definition that I found on the Internet.

I do think of fitness as an “art form”, therefore, I wanted to see if and how fitness has “broken with classical and traditional forms”.

Here’s what I found.

In my past, working out was the equivalent of going to a gym on one’s own to do weight training, one of the oldest fitness disciplines, begun in Ancient Greece, according to a Health and Beauty article, titled, The History of Gym Equipment. This can be accomplished with both free weights and barbells. Evidently, a man named Hippolyte Triat, a Frenchman, was the first person to add “globe-like” weights to the ends of bars, or barbells.

Interestingly, the term, “dumbbell” was coined in England. It appears that they made a contraption consisting of a rod attached between two church bells whose clappers were removed. The bells became silent, or “dumb!” Who knew?

34 THESTANDARDPS.COM

A man named Arthur Jones developed machines that would replace free weights because he wanted non-body builders to be able to train their muscles without injury. He did so as he realized that women were now visiting gyms and wanted them to be able to train without getting hurt. How thoughtful was that?

This was in the early 1970’s about the time I first began training at gyms in Buffalo, New York. We know them by the name of Nautilus.

As far as cardio equipment goes, it was in the 1960’s that William Staub developed the first treadmill. Evidently, he had read a book by Dr. Kenneth Cooper on aerobics that said that running a mile in 8 minutes four or five days a week would result in better fitness. As a result, and wanting to make sure that everyone could have access to a machine that was typically only available in doctor’s offices, he created the PaceMaster 600. All other prototypes have come out of this original model! Again, who knew?

On the other hand, rowing machines first appeared in the mid-19th century and the patent for the flywheel and ratchet was granted to William B. Curtis way back in 1871. The rowing machines of today are motion and damper types, using hydraulic cylinders with both foot stretchers and handles. They are used by both fitness lovers as well as rowing communities.

So, as you can see, fitness and its equipment has evolved over the years but it has really changed the most in the last two decades.

And over the last year since our “Pandemic” began, more that $2.3

billion dollars have been spent on health and fitness equipment, with treadmill sales soaring at 135 percent increase while stationary bike sales have tripled! That’s huge, people!

As you well know, people are streaming classes into their living rooms creating new jobs for trainers like myself who have been closed out of our gyms here in California for the better part of 8 of the 10 months that we’ve been sheltered in.

On-line yoga, stretching, callisthenic, aerobic, and meditation classes are booming online. Peloton reported a revenue of $758 million in sales according to the Washington Post article written by Hamza Shaban on January 7, 2021!

Lastly, fitness apps and online coaching has hit an all time high, so needless to say, MODERNISM has definitely come to the fitness industry.

How MODERN have you become?

Your’s in Health, Jill, the Walking Queen

FIVE WAYS COVID-19 IS IMPACTING GLOBAL LGBTQ ADVOCACY

BY DAMIAN MARLOWE

still nothing like face-to-face contact. Cancellation of HRC’s Global Innovative Advocacy Summit for example meant fewer chances for LGBTQ advocates to be in the same room with each other and have deep discussions about their work and lessons-learned.

Connecting in physical spaces builds trust and security that virtual spaces cannot always do. With the loss of access to physical workspaces and community centers and the lack of access to secure broadband internet, advocates may not always feel comfortable working and talking about LGBTQ issues at home and online.

As we all are very aware, COVID 19 has taken a toll on us all. During normal times the global LGBTQ community has always worked incessantly to stand up for our rights and push for equality, but COVID 19 has definitely exacerbated those efforts. Following are five ways the virus has impacted our community.

1. Harder to support the most vulnerable members of the LGBTQ community. For many global advocates, their work begins locally by supporting their community members. Yet in communities that are quarantined, serving the most vulnerable becomes more difficult.

2. More difficult to carry out programs, be visible and raise funds. LGBTQ organizations around the world rely on delivering programs for support from donors and, often, increasing visibility to educate the public about their needs and secure new members, supporters and allies.

COVID-19 is forcing organizations around the world to cancel meetings and events. Not hosting in-person celebrations on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB) and Pride celebrations meant less donor and community support, especially as governments and donors turn their resources toward responding to COVID-19 and saving local economies.

3. Fewer chances to safely and securely connect. While everyone sees the current ability to connect through screens, there is

4. Greater opportunities for governments to restrict freedoms, not be held accountable. As more governments declare local and national emergencies in response to the pandemic, they are restricting movement and association. As the International Center for Not-forprofit Law noted, “Governments can use a crisis as a pretext to infringe rights.” New government powers can easily have a negative impact on LGBTQ people. For example, China’s use of surveillance technology to track citizen movements could easily track LGBTQ people.

Global advocacy gatherings like the United Nations’ Universal Periodic Reviews (UPR) gives advocates opportunities to hold their governments accountable to human rights obligations. HRC planned to support the advocacy efforts of Global Alumni at the UPR presessions in Geneva before its cancellation.

5. Risks of burnout, need for self-care. During normal times for global advocates, it is already hard being on the frontlines everyday.

Now, it is even harder and more isolating as we lose our sense of normalcy, financial security and health and well-being. With a greater risk of exhaustion, there’s even more need for self-care at this time.

HRC continues to find meaningful ways to engage with our international partners and the global advocacy community, bring the community together virtually and spread LGBTQ equality around the world. As we do this, we invite you to join us by acknowledging the new realities of global LGBTQ advocates and continuing to support our movement’s work.

PSP FOCUS

>> DAP HEALTH AND JFS PARTNER TO SUPPORT CHERISHED HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS DAP Health’s vaccine framework is rooted in health equity, ensuring communities and populations disproportionately affected

by COVID-19 have priority access to the vaccine. Outreach to our patients age 65 and over has already begun.

On January 27th, as we observed International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2021, DAP Health humbly worked with Jewish Family Service of the Desert (JFS) to begin scheduling COVID-19 vaccinations at DAP Health for local survivors of the Holocaust.

During routine calls to their membership, JFS discovered that their were elderly holocaust survivors in their Café Europa program (funded by a grant from Jewish Federation of the Desert) that needed assistance as they had difficulty in getting both the first and second vaccine appointments. JFS Director of Community Outreach, Julie Hirsh, sprung into action. She reached out to DAP Health about a partnership with JFS to help facilitate their Holocaust survivors in receiving the sought after rounds of shots.

DAP answered the call and quickly worked with Julie to make the first set of twelve appointments, and is continuing to schedule more, for some of JFS’s most vulnerable community members, those over 65 who may have underlying health concerns.

“We are so appreciative that DAP Health was willing to assist and quick to respond. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to collaborate with community partners who share the common interest of our Coachella Valley residents,” said Julie Hirsh.

ABOUT JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE OF THE DESERT JFS is a non-sectarian agency founded on the Jewish principle of “Healing the World” (Tikkun Olam), and we currently offer that support through telecare mental health counseling, augmented case management that includes one of the only sources of emergency financial assistance in the Valley, well-check phone calls to isolated clients, and special programming for our local Holocaust survivors.

For nearly 40 years, JFS has offered life-sustaining support. We are passionate about our Coachella Valley, and we now offer nearly 16,000 annual services to over 3200 clients. If it touches the heart of the Valley, it touches the heart of JFS! Become a member of the JFS family by volunteering or donating.

Jonathan is the author of three cookbooks including Seasons to Taste: Farm-Fresh Joy for Kitchen and Table (Story Farm & Tarnów Entertainment), which is the inspiration for this show. He has cooked with more than 900 audiences, which has earned him coverage from the Washington Post, USA Today, and Food Network Magazine, and regular appearances on the Washington, DC area’s ABC, CBS and Fox morning news shows. It has also earned him a place on the TedX stage.

“It’s been a joy watching Jonathan bring his TV show concept to life.

He really wanted it to be a joyful show and celebrate community, family and friends.” said Executive Producer Richard Jones. “The outcome is like a buffet for the soul, that will uplift anyone who watches it.”

MODERN LOVE IN THE TIME OF COVID

BY DANIELLE FLANAGAN

CELADON HAZE COVER BY NICOLE RUGGIER

In “Celadon Haze”, ORACLE666 reflects on the loneliness and longing many of us are experiencing during the pandemic. “It’s in times like these that we look back on connections that were once important to us and wish we could re-live them,” the artist explains.

“But we learn that nothing can be taken out of time and place, and we are all a part of each other as we grow and change.”

“Celadon Haze” is a Bjork-inspired ethereal trance/pop track. Produced by Meviu§, it is danceable, with a spritely energy, representing a hopeful fantasy world fueled by beautiful memories.

“I want people to experience a dizzying and exciting feeling of elevation when listening to the song,” ORACLE666 continues from her Brooklyn home. “The song brings me back to the raves of my youth in Texas and NYC when the cerebral beats would whisk crowds to a wavelength high into the air, all dancing in sync. I want to give that same feeling of connection and excitement to listeners. That

sensation that even if you are in a grungy Brooklyn warehouse, you are also in an astral cloud, emotionally and spiritually connected with everyone around you.”

ORACLE666 is a self-identified non-binary queer femme. She was born Julia Sinelnikova, in Jerusalem, Israel and lived in St. Petersburg, Russia until five-years-old when the family moved to Texas. “I experienced a lot of rapid transitions moving from Israel to Russia to Central Texas, changing apartments and homes frequently.

What stayed stable was my mom, her strength in continuing to work and educate herself and keep pushing us forward.”

In grade school, Julia felt attraction toward boys, girls and nonbinary people. She recalls kissing many girls as a young teen, but the possibility of a queer relationship simply wasn’t on the table.

“Homosexuality is not spoken of much in Russian culture, and I was surrounded by a variety of Christians in Texas. My friends’ parents

Online Experiences

would routinely drag me to church, where I was repeatedly told that being gay is a sin.”

While at FIT in New York, Julia became involved in Brooklyn nightlife, hosting queer events and designing sets for raves. “I met people in so many stages of transition, who expressed their queer identity in different ways, and I learned to flirt with people of all different sexualities and gender expressions.” It was around this time that Julia took on the name ORACLE666.

“I have never felt entirely comfortable with being perceived in the mold of ‘woman,’” ORACLE666 explains. “I often feel myself in bimbo mode when expressing my femme self. Over the last few years, without really noticing, I have altered my look from blonde high heels and dresses to street style, joggers and graphic tees. I love to wear white and bright colors to self-symbolize purity, truth and openness, and also to vibrate serenity.”

“It is never lost on me how lucky I am to live in a place where I can express my gender and sexual identity openly, especially in relation to the countries I come from.”

“Celadon Haze” is the debut single from ORACLE666’s forthcoming EP. Its music video, directed by Laura Kimmel, aka METAGASM, releasing right before Valentine’s Day, depicts a contemporary queer love story. “METAGASM and I developed a story where my fantasy lover is a hologram before me, still and silent, lost in a manic pixie dream world and unaware of my song.

In placing my kiss gently at the end, it’s like I’m sending a wish or a poem to someone or something I never quite knew was real.”
