Barbara Sinatra, widow or Frank Sinatra, was the 2013 Parade’s Grand Marshal. Families brought blankets and chairs for viewing.

Almost 100 participants were in this year’s parade. Prizes were given in many catagories. The Most coveted trophy, the Sweepstakes Trophy went to the Palm Desert High Shool Sophomore class. Amazing floats, bands. exotic golf carts, dogs, childrens groups, politicians, costumed characters and clowns were all a big part of this year’s parade. Left photo bottom: Sweepstakes winner.

INDIO – Fantasy Springs Resort Spa Casino brought the highly rated Americas Got Talent TV Shows, Live Tour, to the stage on Oct. 26. Six of the top 10 winners from the show performed for the audience.

The Kristif Brothers’ comedic routines, along with their physical abilites, amazed the crowd. Collins Key, just 17, already has some mind-blowing magical tricks.

Runner up winner Taylor Williamson brings being a nerd to a whole new level. His jokes delighted the crowd. Cami Bradley sang and played piano, and Jimmy Rose played guitar and sang. At one point they joined forces for a beautiful duet.

The Million Dollar winner, Knichi Ebina, had the audience mesmerized with his dancing abilities. His creativity is what makes him apart from other dancers. Far left photo: Winner Knichi Emina. Left photo: Kristef Brothers (Photos by Pat Krause)

Dine ‘n’ Dish Charitably, Hollywood-StyleBy Larry Jameson

PALM SPRINGS – New York Times bestselling author Jackie Collins, award-winning celebrity photographer Michael Childers, and comedy writer Bruce Vilanch are joining forces to co-host “Hollywood Dine and Dish: The Tinseltown Stories You Haven’t Heard,” on Friday, Nov. 15.

This one-of-a-kind evening is a benefit for AIDS Assistance Program (AAP) and will include hors d’oeuvres, premium cocktails and an exquisite dinner courtesy of Brad and Lynne Toles of Savoury’s Catering to complete the ultimate Hollywood experience.

The event will take place at the exclusive Waterford estate of Bob Deville and Bob Bennion, co-owners of Windermere Real Estate Southern California.

“One hundred percent of each

ticket purchased for this amazing event will go directly to feed 10 of our clients for one month, and we are so grateful for that,” says Mark Anton, executive director of AAP. “In addition to a wonderful meal prepared by Savoury’s, our co-hosts are generously donating their time, and we’re expecting them to spill a few Hollywood secrets and some of the gossip that wasn’t fit to print!”

Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the late film director Louis Malle and dubbed “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair magazine. With more than 500 million copies of her books sold in over 40 countries, Collins is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. She is known for giving her readers an unrivaled insider’s knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous

lives and loves of the rich, famous and infamous.

Rancho Mirage-based Michael Childers, one of the entertainment industry’s most renowned and highly respected portrait, fashion and art photographers, began his career in the 1960s and continues to influence the world of art photography today. He was instrumental in capturing the beauty and magnetism of such explosive young stars as Mel Gibson, Demi Moore, Richard Gere, John Travolta, Sissy Spacek, Michelle Pfeiffer, Rock Hudson, Natalie Wood and Elton John.

Childers brings a look and style to star photography that is both sensual and extremely stylish. From his Melrose Avenue and Venice Beach studios, Childers photographed more than 200

magazine covers for publications including Elle, Esquire, GQ, Paris Match, TV Guide and Vogue.

Bruce Vilanch is a two-faced fella: Bearded, he is one of the most sought-after comedy writers in Hollywood and a multiple Emmy winner; shaved, he spent two years as Edna Turnblad, Baltimore housewife and superstar, on tour and on Broadway in the smash musical adaptation of the John Waters film “Hairspray.”

Vilanch was also seen on the third season of VH1’s popular fitness and nutrition reality series “Celebrity Fit Club,” participating in 100 days of Fit Club training.

Tickets for this exclusive dining event are $1,000 per person or $1,500 per couple (100 percent tax deductible). For more info on the event and AAP, call 760-325-8481or visit aidsassistance.org.

Recent Economic Reports a Mixed BagBy Kevin Powell

We continue to get varying messages from across the economic board. New housing starts just reported the lowest level since 2010. Stock earnings have seen about 60 percent of companies beat lowered expectations, but revenues have missed on about half of all companies that have posted earnings.

Many companies are already lowering expectations for the fourth quarter and into 2014. This could lead to a slowdown in stocks — though not necessarily enough bad news to derail the on-going rally.

These are not totally unexpected results. Housing

starts were bound to slow as interest rates jumped this summer, and many investors started selling the homes they purchased a few years ago and pocketing their profits. This led to an increase in inventories.

For stocks, higher profits don’t necessar i ly mean companies are performing better. There are many cost- cutting measures such as not filling open positions, hiring more part-time workers as opposed to full-time employees. Stock buybacks can make a company’s earnings higher but it can’t help boost revenues. Lower revenues continue to point to the increased pressure on consumers.

Stocks continue to hit record highs as we’ve expected. As long as the Fed maintains its easy-money policy, more closing records should continue. Technology has had an especially nice run this year outperforming all other major markets as we are seeing some extra IT spending from companies. But we are also seeing a lot of consumers buying more tech products. Best Buy is one of the best-performing stocks this year, thanks to

the resurgence of consumer purchases.

Consumer staple companies like Procter & Gamble (PG), Clorox (CLX) and Colgate-Palmolive (CL) are all lower-risk stock plays that have posted very nice returns this year. Healthcare continues to do well, and there’s no reason to expect this area to slow down as the Affordable

Care Act (Obamacare) continues to rollout in a broader scope.

Apple (AAPL) just posted earnings on Monday and they had a solid quarter. Apple has traditionally traded lower after it announces its earnings, so don’t bet the farm on it. But I do like Apple longer term as I do most of the other stocks and sectors mentioned here.

There’s no reason to think that bonds are going to turn around anytime soon as interest rates start rise due to the Fed finally starting its tapering program.

DESERT HOT SPRINGS ELECTION SPECIAL

Desert Hot Springs mayoral candidate Yvonne Parks

By Desert Star StaffDESERT HOT SPRINGS –

The municipal election for this city is next Tuesday, Nov. 5. Residents must choose from various candidates in races for mayor, city council and the board of directors for the Mission Springs Water District.

During the month of October, Desert Star Weekly has provided space in its pages for all of the

candidates in all three races to be heard.

Due to a production glitch in our Oct. 9 issue, the abridged transcripts of our interviews with the three candidates for mayor — incumbent Yvonne Parks, city council member Adam Sanchez and economist John-Paul Valdez — ran together in a way that proved difficult to read. We apologize to the candidates

and our readers for this technical error, and we are running those interviews again in this issue as a service to the community.

While our mayoral candidate interview transcripts have been edited for length, redundancy and organization, the context of every response highlighted has been preserved.

Immediately following the mayoral candidate interviews

herein, we also are reprinting the responses to questions Desert Star Weekly posed to the four candidates for Desert Hot Springs City Council.

In this race, Robert Bentley, an author, journalist and reverend, and Joe McKee, a retired corporate manager, are in the contest not only against each other but incumbents Scott Matas and Jan Pye, who are

presenting a unified city council reelection front together with incumbent mayoral candidate Yvonne Parks. All agreed to participate except for Bentley, who politely declined.

The candidates in each of the two races highlighted appear in the alphabetical order of their last names. We encourage our Desert Hot Springs readers to get out and vote on Nov. 5.

Parks on DHS Today:O v e r a l l , a s f a r

as the in f ras t ruc tu re , recreation for our youth and seniors, our medical clinic that just opened and our new Health and Wellness Center — all that is very good.

We’re having some difficulty with our budget. The projected

budget is $18 million and projected revenue is $16 million. So we’re behind by about $2 million — maybe a little bit more. We’re looking every month at expenses and revenues so that we can try to keep expenses down. We’ve had a high increase in sales tax year over year, and our assessed valuation for property tax is up. If the trends continue upward, we may have more revenue than we anticipated. But we’ll cut wherever we can.

Something we’re going to be looking at is how much we’re allocating to each department.

The way we should start is say, “Okay, this is how much you have. Show me how you can make it work.” But let each department have the opportunity to come back to us and say, “We can make it work on that budget,” instead of us telling them we’re going to make cuts.Parks on Attracting Business:

When I was elected mayor in 2007, we knew two things for sure: We had to improve infrastructure and reduce crime. If you don’t have a safe and clean community, you will never attract investment. We have worked very hard — putting 48 miles of (repaved) streets in, getting graffiti under control. You have to make your city attractive; we’ve done that.

Instead of us going to the businesses, the businesses now are coming to us. We feel very positive for the next four, six, 10 years. And that’s how long it takes in economic development; it doesn’t happen overnight. (Investors) like a stable government.

The last report from the economic development consultant was that there are 15 active projects. Five of those are already in the permitting process, the others we’re still working on. If that trend continues, five, 10 years from now, we’ll have shopping opportunities that all of our residents want and deserve.

Walmart saw, after their research, that they needed a bigger store here — a Super Walmart. So they had to do another environmental impact report. My feeling is, they’re not going to do anything until after the election. They know a couple candidates are backed by the unions, and the unions do not want Walmart — especially the grocery unions.

E x p e r i e n c e s h o w s , regardless of what anybody says about Walmart, when Walmart comes, (other businesses) follow — because they know Walmart has done their homework. Look what happened at Monterey and I-10 once Walmart and Sam’s Club went in.Parks on Promoting Tourism:

We have a wonderful hotelier’s association. Up until this budget year, we budgeted the hotelier’s association $50,000 for marketing and billboards. They have a wonderful radio ad for the drive-in traffic (from) Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County. We

have to take another look at restoring the marketing budget to the hoteliers to promote our city, because they know how to do it best. I believe you need to spend money to make money.Parks on Reducing Spending:

I am not in favor of cutting personnel or salaries. Our staff is the hardest-working in the Coachella Valley. With the number of hats they are wearing, they’re well worth the money they’re getting. I’m willing to give up 50 percent of my travel, it that helps.

We have contracted almost all of our services because of the benefit package that we have to provide to an employee. California’s Public Employee Retirement System, which all public employees in the state are in, is killing us. They’re not making any cuts (at the state government level), so contracting is the answer. Fewer staff, more contracts. We look at the best-qualified for the lowest price.

(Opponents) are complaining about the code enforcement contract. We had been paying upwards of $900,000 a year for code enforcement. It’s been very cost-recovery because we’ve had an income from code enforcement of over a $1 million a year (in fines). We’ve got seven code enforcement technicians on the streets with the current contract of $750,000. The only way we’re going to cut it is by cutting the number of code enforcers. And I can’t see cutting back on the cleanliness of our community. We have to keep that for economic development and pride of ownership.Parks on Leadership:

I’m very passionate about this community. When I moved here in 1994, there were about 15,000 people. We had one street light. We had one development. The city did not know how to work with contractors or developers.

I got on the planning commission. I became an executive member of the chamber of commerce. I joined the Women’s Club; I’ve been a member since about 1995 and I was president for three years. I’m a member of the rotary, the Elks. I’ve been very active in the community and I know that there are a lot of wonderful people here that really deserve a good quality of life.

We really need the team of Parks, (council member Scott) Matas and (council member Jan) Pye to move forward. The three of us have worked very hard on a vision for this city. We developed the downtown Vortex-specific plan — with a theater, restaurants and nice apartments

where people could live and work downtown — several years ago, and we’ve got the zoning for that.

We also have a Miracle Hill plan around Cabot’s Museum, which is sitting right on the hot water, and that is to have a Glen Ivy (Corona, Calif.)-type spa facility plus a trailhead right into Joshua Tree National Park. It’s a matter of getting developers interested and putting their money where our ideas are. Parks’s Ideal DHS:

From Day One, my goal has been to provide a city where our residents can work, eat and play. Our vision statement is that we’re a destination resort community. I want more hotels and shopping — that’s what I’m going to be concentrating on in this term. The for-fee doctors have already started making inquiries, because what we had to take care of our (medically) uninsured population, which we’re doing with the (new) Borrego Community Health Foundation on Pierson.

I would love to see, at the intersection of Palm and I-10, another Jackson Street development — with tons of other stores. Desert Dunes golf course is working on annexation into the city and has big plans for its property.

I know the (business) people; I’ve worked with them. They see this council as a workable one and they’re supporting us. I’m very excited about seeing all of this come to fruition, because when it does, this city will be the destination we all dreamed about.

Sanchez on DHS Today: We’re in a financial crisis.

This year, the council approved a budget of $18 million knowing there’s only $16 million or less in revenue. I voted no for the last two budgets I’ve been on council; I’ve only been on council a year and half. The first year, they had to borrow $3 million from the CVP Sentinel Energy Project to balance the budget. I said, “You don’t use one-time money to balance the budget, because we’re going to be hurting the following year.” Which is now.

Making matters worse is that they put in there that there was going to be $1 million in new development this year. It’s not going to happen. So that puts the (budget shortfall) at $3 million. And to make things even more dire

Desert Hot Springs mayoral candidate Adam Sanchez

Desert Hot Springs mayoral candidate John-Paul Valdez

is the operations budget of the Health and Wellness Center. To be conservative, we could probably do it with about $600,000 when it should cost $1 million to run the whole thing. The pool’s not open because we haven’t renewed the contract. So you’re looking at $3.5 million (in total budget shortfall).Sanchez on Attracting Business:

One of the great things that happening right now is that the state just (overhauled) the enterprise zone program. They’re going more regional with it, and Coachella has been fortunate because, through the Department of Commerce, they’re putting out grants now…. We’ve got to do the same thing, because our unemployment rate is anywhere between 16 and 20 percent. So if Coachella is able to get that kind of money from the Department of Commerce, the Department of Economic Development… we need to do the same thing.

The most important thing we have going for us right now is the new ARES project that’s up on Dillon…. We have a chance to create a manufacturing center right there at Dillon and Indian. And that’s the future of the city. That’s where the manufacturing jobs and larger companies are going to come to provide opportunities for our residents. The positive side that we have is, Riverside County, especially with the board of supervisors and (Fourth District Supervisor John J.) Benoit, they have a department of international trade and export. Riverside County is number one in the state in attracting businesses internationally.Sanchez on Promoting Tourism:

Other than the hot water spas, what we really have to work on is marketing and promoting Cabot’s Museum. It’s the first homestead in the Coachella Valley, and it’s one of the more unique places not only in the state, but in the country. The history there is rich. It needs to be more commercialized as a tourist attraction, where people maybe can go up there and dine and get that whole experience of Cabot’s.

Next to that, we need to clean up the city. We really need to develop a plan to keep Palm Drive beautiful, because it’s the entrance of the city and the first impression. What it’s going to take, and I’ve been working with Code Enforcement and Desert Valley Disposal, will be cleaning up neighborhoods — and we’ve been doing it now for six months. It’s going to take time and effort, but we’ll do it with volunteers.

There’s no other place like Desert Hot Springs — with 20 boutique, unique hotels and hot water and great drinking water. You’ve got tourists coming from all over, internationally, who get that “Wow”-ness feeling from the hot water, and it serves as a place for them to kind of get their lives back together. But why is it that we, as a city and a community, cannot bring that together for ourselves so we can be proud and move forward?Sanchez on Reducing Spending:

First of all, we need to reduce all of the contracts the city has — the total, together — by 15 percent, and you’ll get about $900,000 dollars. We always approve (contracts) for three years, but we need to review them every year. Especially now, when they’re waiting for the new audit

to start but they’re also waiting to get the results from the past audit.

Second of all, we need to do some restructuring where we can at City Hall when it comes to salaries. It’s almost unconscionable that we’re one of the poorest cities in the state, yet we’re probably amongst the top five when you add up the salary range for the whole community. When you look at the salaries at City Hall and the police department, they’re way too high. The challenge is, you’ve got the unions here, and then you only have the administrative salaries of staff that you can really go to.

You also have to look at extending the pay scale of employees even longer. At the same time, any new hires will have to be under a different formula…. You have to cut at City Hall first before the taxpayers can even think that you’re in a total financial crisis.Sanchez on Leadership:

When I first arrived in Desert Hot Springs, I worked for City Hall for two years as Senior Center director, Community Services coordinator and grant writer. It gave me a good look at City Hall and how it operates. I spent 10 years with the Boys and Girls Club, where I was engaged in the total community, and I’ve been involved in every commission in the city except the Police Commission. I’ve been the president of the Rotary Club and belonged to all the service organizations. I understand the dynamics of the community.

With a year and a half being on the council, that really just brought it all together for me. But what really drove me to run was the fact that I could no longer go along with budgets at the end of the year that are not balanced.Sanchez’s Ideal DHS:

We’ve got the worst image in the valley and we don’t deserve it. We’ve got beautiful views; the city is small and it’s unique. It’s really a beautiful place to live. But we’re carrying this image of being dysfunctional — where somehow can’t get the city going in the right direction, and keeping it in that direction. It’s almost like we have to apologize for living here. That’s something we have to change.

You can’t take the mayor’s office lightly. It’s a tremendous

amount of responsibility; you’re now the spokesperson for the city. And you have to find a way to work with everybody — from the developers that are coming in… to those people who actually represent the community, like the working poor. That’s why we have the Borrego medical clinic (now), because we have a lot of people who need that kind of healthcare. You have the less fortunate, and then you have the fortunate — but we’ve never been able as a community to make sure everybody feels represented, to engage them as part of the cleanup.

It’s about trying to get everybody to work together. We’ve been so divisive… but I think I can create a better working unit as a team.

Valdez on DHS Today:The major issue facing Desert

Hot Springs is a budget that is not clearing the hurdle. We simply don’t have the money we’re spending, and there are a lot of reasons. People will give you the “Coulda, woulda, shoulda” story: “Oh, well, the economy’s down.”

Now, I’m an economist. It’s one thing to have a down economy, but mismanagement, bad negotiations — these sorts of things are manageable. My professional background in finance and business management gives me exactly the skills that are required to fit the problems we are experiencing here now. And that’s why I’m running for mayor.Valdez on Attracting Business:

Instead of taking a trip once a year to Las Vegas, which is what our current administration and government does — six people go to a Las Vegas hotel suite, they go downstairs and shake some hands, and then they come back with nothing — I’d be campaigning every single day, like I’m doing right now.

I’m a known figure all the way across this valley on radio and TV. I’m constantly going, “I’m going

to need a flower shop. I plan on having more weddings up here.” Desert Hot Springs has one flower shop and one garden center. I look across (I-10), I see a successful restaurant, and I say, “Hey, can I entice you to open a brother or a sister version of your particular type of business in our part of the valley?” Because once I’m in office, we will be having a mayor that is cosmopolitan and savvy enough to support that kind of a draw.

And so, because of the person that I am, and having worked at Wells Fargo and Wachovia Securities, and having been something of a personality here in the valley for a long time, I’m known as a voice of reason in (financial and business) matters and I do that work every single day. I don’t have to fly to Las Vegas to do it.

In fact, I’m thinking of axing that out of the budget. They just spent like $60,000 or $70,000 to fly to Las Vegas. I’m like, “I want to see the contracts. Where are those contracts?” To me, that is the work of every day. It’s how you dress and how you speak. What

about all the Canadian Quebecois (persons from Quebec) that come here? They would enjoy the fact that I speak French. I’m fluent in four languages, including Spanish. I will be welcoming people from the four corners of the globe in Desert Hot Springs. We will see an increase in tourism here as a result of my being (in office).Valdez on Promoting Tourism:

The city already is a tourist draw. I tell people wherever I go that I live in Desert Hot Springs. I’m not embarrassed about it; I’m proud of it.

I want to be sure that the branding is “The Spa City.” I want to have an official logo that features the words “The Spa City.” Are you aware of the fact that there is actually no official logo? There’s a logo they use, but it’s not, by law, an official one…. I have since, with the help of a graphic artist, redesigned that logo.

I would say that we have a strong image problem. And a person of my marketing experience, where I’ve worked for General Motors in six countries

and worked for Lancôme all over the world out of Paris, I know my marketing. The breadth of my experience can bring tourism to this city in a way that has just not been explored before. Valdez on Reducing Spending:

The city has too many, too high-salaried outside consultants. If we already have a city administration staff official appointed to a specific task or office at $175,000 or $120,00 a year — which is fine, if they’re competent people — then why do we need an outside consultant to come in to do their job twice at the same salary? Now that (former city manager Rick) Daniels is gone, I won’t have to offend anyone in saying that some of the consultants that he had on were simply because he didn’t have that kind of expertise.

As a financial manager, I won’t need an additional consultant to bring me the books to have a look at what’s going on.

As new people come onboard, you simply hire under more stringent rules. One of the things that I’m going to be looking for is, “Do these people really live in the area?” I have a mortgage

in my house; I actually live here. I have skin in the game.Valdez on Leadership:

When I saw the devastation (of the recession) hit California, particularly in this area, I was with Wells Fargo, and I felt morally obliged to go out into the community and tell people how to save their homes because there were all these rip-off artists with respect to loan modifications and so forth. I actually left my position with Wells Fargo and took a non-paid consultant position at The News in Spanish, because half of our city is Hispanic.

For the last three and a half years, I’ve appeared almost weekly on Univision, where I talk about the economy and finance in my second language. I speak to the community directly. If you call City Hall and can’t speak English, if I’m mayor, you won’t get caught with nobody there to help you. To me, in a city like Desert Hot Springs that’s 50 percent Hispanic, it should almost be a requirement.

Regarding the Affordable Care Act, as of today (Sept. 27), essentially, Mayor Parks has said nothing about it. Desert Hot Springs is at a

lower socioeconomic level. So those residents who are able to get signed up under the insurance are going to end up costing us less in ambulances and other (emergency) resources. Where is the l ink on the city website to the ACA? With the program coming into being in four days, it’s not there. I would take a leadership initiative to form an ACA bi l ingual liaison committee to make sure people are informed.Valdez’s Ideal DHS:

Desert Hot Springs has a fantastic police department, which adds safety — and safety does attract investment. The other 50 percent of what attracts investment, and increases property values, is financial stability. I can bring to the table a toolbox of things that will increase the viability of this city by that other 50 percent on Day One.

This city is the rough diamond in the Coachella Valley. And I expect to be leading the way, along with everyone else, in helping it rise to be the shiniest.

Matas on Attracting Business: Our economic development

plan has been in place for over two years and we are seeing continue growth and interest in our community. The following projects are either inquiring about Desert Hot Springs or in some sort of permit/ construction phase (as of Oct. 6):1. Borrego Solar (under construction)2. Borrego Community Health (construction completed 8/13)3. Pierson Plaza-County Office Building (in for construction permits)4. Rio Ranch Markets (approved, awaiting building plans)5. Wal-Mart & ancillary retail pads

(processing EIR)6. Unnamed Regional Fuel Facility* 7. Infill retail project on Palm (between 2nd & 3rd) development 8. Family Dollar (working through DOF approval process to sell land)9. Walton Development (two (2) master planned communities Highland Falls, Tuscan Hills) (working through plans for homes, retail, hotels)10. ARES Logistic facility (2.6 million sq. ft.) (User A)11. ARES Logistic facility (User B)12. YK Spa (10 room boutique hotel under construction)13. Unnamed Restaurant-A on Palm (working on land acquisition through governmental agency)*14. Unnamed Restaurant-B on Palm (working on land acquisition through government agency)*15. Unnamed Restaurant-C on Pierson*16. Unnamed Restaurant-D on Palm (within proposed

Wal-Mart Center)*17. Remodel/Rehabilitation of Spring of Eden Hotel18. Remodel/Rehabilitation of Hyundae Hotel19. Lease negotiations with unnamed user for former RDA property**20. Land sale negotiations with unnamed user for former RDA property**

(*) Unnamed tenants/users until their property acquisition negotiations are completed (all private sector negotiations)

The Economic Development Committee is focused on bringing more retailers to our community as the economy rebounds.Matas on Budget Balancing:

Staff is working through recommendations on how each department head will balance their department’s budget; we then need to reduce our spending according to the projected updates we will receive in November. We can increase revenue from our economic development strategy and work to make minimal cuts to city services. Public safety will never receive a vote from me on cuts; I believe with professional, sensible decision-making from our staff, we can cut in contracts and non-essential services for a balanced budget. In the last two months, our staff has renegotiated two contracts and has saved the city approximately $300,000.00; this is a start.Matas’s Ideal DHS:

Six years ago when elected our current city council made progress in attending every meeting and promoting Desert Hot Springs throughout the county and state. Today we are respected and the image of Desert Hot

Springs is better but more work needs to be done. We have plans to enhance tourism (Miracle Hill Plan) and economic development (award-winning strategy plan). We can capitalize on the national parks plan to merge several thousand acres into Joshua Tree National Monument just north of our city (Sand to Snow National monument plan). We have award-winning students with many ideas on how to make the city a better place to live and as the founder of the Desert Hot Springs Youth Council we need to continue to make the youth of community a part of the decision-making.

With these ideas and plans, I will ask for your vote on November 5, 201 — Moving Desert Hot Springs Forward.

McKee on Attracting Business: Our first priority is to raise the

average household income to a level that comfortably supports families. This will not be achieved by bringing in more minimum-wage, part-time retail jobs that offer no benefits. We must attract industry with its higher hourly wage scale and benefits package. Because of our unique access to critical resources —

abundant energy, transportation infrastructure, open land — we can offer advantageous, competitive sites for development of the manufacturing segment.

We need to develop educational opportunities so that our residents qualify for these higher-paying jobs. In addition to anchoring the downtown business district with a school to train people for better jobs, I believe we should pressure the Palm Springs School District to develop a true vocational education program at Desert Hot Springs High School.

I share with the incumbents a wish to “enhance the Desert Hot Springs shopping experience,” but that cannot be achieved until the poor economic situation of our residents is turned around. My opponents have put the cart before the horse in this case. They have allowed the dream of increased sales tax revenues to blind them to the reality that people do not earn enough to shop for entertainment. City government serves the interests of its citizens, not the other way around. When families prosper, retail business will come, and government income will increase.

McKee on Budget Balancing: The budget problem we face

is not a surprise. The present majority hoped we could grow our way out of the problem, but as early as 2009, consultants warned of huge deficits in 2013 and beyond. The incumbents reacted by increasing spending. They have resisted reducing the salaries and costs of city employees and contractors. According to the Urban Futures report, city salaries, retirement and benefits cost the city $181,000 per employee. These costs amount to 80 percent of the budget.

Spending is our deeper problem. We now spend at a rate 38 percent higher than like cities. Those cities spend at a rate of around $425 per person. Our rate is $670 per person. We need to study these cities to find out how they provide services more efficiently.

Without reducing payroll and streamlining departmental efficiencies, they have no choice but to raise taxes. My opponents say they will not raise taxes but they have not told us how they will reverse the city deficit. If re-elected, councilpersons Matas and Pye will ask you to pay more.

I promise not to raise your taxes or fees. We have to live within our means. McKee’s Ideal DHS:

In my view, citizens are the future of Desert Hot Springs. It is the responsibility of city government to create a safe environment, maintain infrastructure, educate and nurture our children through recreational opportunities, and perhaps most important, create a business-friendly community that supports its citizens with good wages. Desert Hot Springs has the greatest people in the valley. They are our best resource.

Our town is not a good place to live. It’s a great place to live. We have to get over the continuous media drumbeat that it is dangerous to live here. During every election cycle, all we hear is public safety is our number-one priority, as if there is danger lurking behind every lamppost. Public safety is much more than arresting people. It is fire protection. It is having access to help when you need it. It is an environment where children are educated in a caring, safe environment. It is providing our children with a path to success that does not include gang membership. It is a city where everyone has the ability to earn a living that will support a family without having to work more than seventy hours a week. It is a city in which property values increase because everyone wants to live here.

We spend way too much time fighting and not enough time listening. All of us want a clean beautiful city. All of us have a piece of the puzzle that will get us there. Government is not about getting your way. It is about working as a team. Not a team of three, but a team of five. I promise to provide both leadership and the willingness to work together to reach our goals.

Pye on Attracting Business: Our role as your city leaders

is to be a positive partner with our local business community. What sells a city today is quality of lifestyle, an available workforce, affordability of housing and cooperation from city staff. We

have that in Desert Hot Springs, and my role as one of your city council members is to make that story known to potential new businesses. I have been consistent with this endeavor.

Our economic development team, including the Economic Development Committee, Chamber of Commerce, local business leaders, property owners and staff, has been working to recruit new retailers and industries to our community in order to provide more shopping and well-paying employment opportunities.

E n c o u r a g i n g n e w development is one of the keys to improving our local economy, creating jobs and generating the new municipal revenues that are needed to effectively run our city.Pye on Budget Balancing:

We are cautious and we critically review the budget. We are currently directing staff to identify where budgets may be trimmed and where greater efficiency measures may be implemented while still providing essential public safety and other needed services to protect our residents and the quality of life in Desert Hot Springs.

The best path to a sensible budget is transparency. Since November 2012, I have chaired a new Finance Committee comprised of local residents, business and property owners. This committee is open to the public and meeting notices are posted on the city website.

The Committee’s budget recommendations are currently under review by city staff and

will soon be presented to the city council for policy decisions and direction.Pye’s Ideal DHS:

By continuing to work as a team with fellow council members, staff, and the community at large, I can help bury the negative image. This has already started; the word “desperate” is fading as part of our name. Also, by attending regional meetings regularly, we as public officials can display a new and consistent image and mentality for our beloved city.

It is working; proof is in the development activity. Some of our economic development accomplishments include:

The Innovation Hub (I-HUB) — a collaboration of Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Desert Hot Springs. This program gives small businesses a launching pad to grow, create local well-paying jobs and contribute to our local economy. This I-Hub is recognized as one of the best operating in California.

The new Dollar General Store that is already showing tremendous success in our community.

We have attracted the Borrego Solar Project — a 1.5-megawatt solar plant on 15 acres on south side of Dillon.

The new YK Spa on Hacienda is currently under construction and we expect it to open fall of 2013.

Private investors are planning to build 2.6 million square-foot industrial park near Indian and I-10 – a project that will create 1000 new, permanent, well-paying jobs.

Caputo has been practicing for 10 years and is a certified medium with the Forever-Family Foundation, which is dedicated to connecting science with the afterlife. She says she can feel the spirits, see the shadows and hear the voices of those wishing to get their messages across. People who have witnessed her readings describe her as delivering in rapid-fire style and are impressed by the amount of significant evidence and messages she is able to deliver. She has been said to turn skeptics into believers and put believers in total disbelief.

Caputo has a two-year waiting-list for personal readings in the New York area, but her visit to The Show in Rancho Mirage will provide Coachella Valley residents with an opportunity to see her before a live audience. She can also been seen at theresacaputo.com and has authored “There’s

More to Life Than This: Healing Messages, Remarkable Stories, and Insight About the Other Side from the Long Island Medium.”

Long Island Medium is a Rare Bird

By Theda Kleinhans ReichmanWarner Bros. and Legendary

Pictures sci-fi adventure “Pacific Rim” has arrived on Blu-ray and 2-disc DVD, with added hours of new bonus features. Directed by Oscar nominee Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”), “Pacific Rim” is a visually stunning adventure about Earth on the brink of human annihilation by gigantic sea creatures the size of the Empire State Building.

Yes, the concept is mind-boggling, a little ridiculous and a bit reminiscent of “Godzilla,” the singular sci-fi movie monster of yesteryear who came not in peace, but in order to shred

Tokyo into pieces. It, too, was a giant reptile of fierce proportions, but the Kaiju monsters of “Pacific Rim” are even bigger and they have plenty of offspring ready and willing to join them in their monumental fight against humanity.

Faced with the dire consequences of a Kaiju invasion rising from the sea, earthlings have devised a gigantic weapon to destroy the dreaded sea monsters. The human weapon of choice is an army of giant

robots called Jaegers (the German word for Hunters) which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked together. Usually pilots are from the same family — twins, triplets or father and son. At first things seem to go well, but the onslaught of Kaijus entering earth from a giant fissure under the sea has escalated to apocalyptic proportions. If the fissure is not closed immediately, the earth is doomed.

There is a lot of sci-fi action, but the director also gives us characters to root for and against in this lively action adventure set in the not-so-distant future.

The bonus material will take you inside the mind of acclaimed film director Guillermo del Toro with 14 featurettes that provide in-depth looks at Kaijus, Jaegers, film sets, stunts, FX and the mythology. Also included are “The Director’s Notebook: The Digital Artistry of Pacific Rim,” audio commentary and more.

On a more traditionally animated note, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” is now available on Blu-ray for the first time.

Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, the 1989 classic provides plenty of undersea fantasy for the younger crowd as the mermaid princess Ariel and her lovably fishy friends mix comedy, adventure and music.

“Pacific Rim” is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout and brief language. “The Little Mermaid,” of course, is rated G.

Blackhawks Turn Tomahawk on IndiansBy Dan Marinelli

LA QUINTA – Much was on the line for both teams in an emotional Desert Valley League (DVL) matchup between the Palm Springs High School Indians (1-2 DVL, 5-3 overall) and the La Quinta High School Blackhawks (3-0 in DVL, 6-2 overall) last Friday at La Quinta High.

The Indians, champions of the DVL since 2010, were playing with their chances at a four-peat in serious doubt.

If the Indians lost to the Blackhawks and Palm Desert High School won their game against Indio High, the Indians would be eliminated from DVL title contention.

Additionally, the Blackhawks were looking to end their three-game, three-year losing streak against the Indians.

As if that was not enough incentive, every year since 2011, the winner of this matchup is

awarded the Mike Gates Trophy. Mike Gates was a former

coach and teacher at both schools. Cancer claimed his life in January 2011. Since then, this game between La Quinta High and Palm Springs High is played in his honor.

Both teams recognized the game’s significance because both were playing tenacious, hard-nosed, defense from the opening kick. The stifling defenses kept the teams scoreless in the first quarter.

“We have eleven guys that just like to run out there and hit people,” said Blackhawks head coach Dan Armstrong. “We have good team speed and a lot of guys that play hard. Coach Gadd, our defensive coordinator — it was huge getting him back this year. He was our defensive coordinator for both of our CIF title championships and drew up a great game plan.”

Neither team was too eager to pass. In such a tight game, one

turnover could affect the outcome. However, the difference between the two teams was the Indians’ inability to stop the Blackhawks’ unrelenting three-man running attack, led by senior receiver turned-running back Vincent Guzman.

“We have a lot of young, really inexperienced receivers and a sophomore quarterback,” said Coach Armstrong. “We’re working on getting better at throwing the ball. But as long as we can run the ball as effectively as we have, it takes some pressure off of (our passing game).”

In the second quarter, after a Lucas Norbolm field goal, Guzman carried the ball four yards and scored the Blackhawks’ first touchdown of the game. The score was 9-0 in favor of the Blackhawks going into the half. Unfortunately for the Indians, nine points would be all that the Blackhawks needed.

In the third quarter, Darius Griffin ran the ball 12-yards for the Blackhawks’ final touchdown of the game. The Blackhawks added one more field goal before Noah

McGuire carried the ball 12 yards for the Indians’ lone score of the game. The Blackhawks won the game, 19-6.

Guzman finished the game with 252 yards rushing and one touchdown on 42 attempts, allowing Blackhawks quarterback Michael Avina only seven passes. Of the Blackhawks’ 79 plays, 53 percent of them were designed for Guzman.

At the end of the game, an emotional celebration ensued. The Blackhawks gathered at midfield as the Mike Gates Trophy, a golden football atop of a wooden stand, was presented to coach Armstrong.

“Mike Gates was a teacher and a coach here for 12 years,” said Coach Armstrong. “I think he considered himself more of a Blackhawk than an Indian, and we wanted (the trophy) here. Unfortunately, we lost the first two;

we finally got it on the third try. It means a lot to bring this trophy back home, where we think it belongs.”

After losing to Palm Desert High last Friday, Palm Springs suffered their second straight loss of the season — their first two-game losing streak since 2012. Also, this is the second straight week an opponent has snapped a multi-year losing streak against the historically tough Palm Springs High Indians.

To make matters worse for the Indians, Palm Desert High did defeat Indio High, officially knocking the Indians out of the DVL title race for the first time in four years.

The Indians may be out of league title contention; however, their fight for a highly contested DVL playoff spot continues on the road this Friday against the winless Indio High Rajahs. The Blackhawks are looking to win their fifth straight game. They are on the road this Friday, too, playing at Cathedral City High School. Both games start at 7 p.m.

By Pat KrauseRANCHO MIRAGE – The

10th annual Witches Brew celebration was held at the Old Spaghetti Factory on Oct. 27. Witches and warlocks — dressed in role-appropriate garb — gather each year for this wickedly fun fete, which is always held on the

last Sunday before HalloweenFounder Judy Vossler said the

evening was a veritable cauldron of freaky fun as the Coven of Coachella Valley celebrated a decade of decadence. Guests wore capes and pointy black hats, and a few were even reportedly seen arriving on broomsticks.

The macabre menu featured Eye Balls and Guts (a.k.a. spaghetti and meatballs) and Alfredo’s Fingers (a.k.a. fettuccine alfredo), plus Salad of Caesar-Julius. And of course, what would this frightfully flavorful feast have been without plenty of Bloody Marys?

By Larry JamesonRANCHO MIRAGE – “Master

Class,” by Terrence McNally and directed by Ron Celona, artistic director of the Coachella Valley Repertory Theater (CVRep), launched the 2013/14 CVRep season last Friday and will run through Sunday, Nov. 10, at the CV Repertory Theatre here.

Inspired by a series of master classes held at New York City’s Julliard School and conducted by the great opera diva Maria Callas toward the end of her career in the 1970s, “Master Class” places Callas center stage once again as she enlightens, bullies and prods hopeful opera singers — or “victims,” as she calls them — into giving the performances of their lives while inadvertently revealing aspects of her own.

“The choice to do a Terrence

McNally play was an easy one,” said CVRep’s Celona. “He’s simply one of the best American playwrights of our time. I saw ‘Master Class’ many years ago with the original Broadway cast and, like most of McNally’s work, it never left my mind.”

“Master Class,” the first of four productions to be offered by CV Rep this season, won both the 1996 Tony Award for Best Play and the 1996 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding New Play.

By Art Kunkin (Mr. Life Extension)In 20 countries, including

Russia, China and the U.S., organizing committees have been formed to establish new longevity political parties whose central issue is to increase the human life span.

Two of the leading figures in this new international movement are biomedical writer Il ia Stambler of Israel and molecular biophysicist Maria Konovalenko of Russia.

The first branch of the Longevity Party was established in Russia in July 2012. Since then, organizing committees for the Longevity Party have been established in Israel, the U.S., Canada, Georgia, Israel, Finland, Italy, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Uganda, South Africa, Korea, the Philippines, Japan, Singapore and China. The Longevity Party has a Facebook page and other sites on the Web.

Dr. Natasha Vita-More and Hank Pellissier, managing director

of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET), first announced plans for the U.S. Longevity Party on the IEET website (ieet.org). Pellissier and Vita-Moore are being aided by Tom Mooney, executive director of the Coalition to Extend Life based in Washington, D.C.

Mooney is the author of “Live Forever or Die Trying: The History and Politics of Life Extension.” He was a two-term member of the Maryland State Legislature, a nominee for Governor of Maryland in 1986, and the former vice president of the United States Student Association. Mooney will serve as communications director of the U.S.A. Longevity Party.

Dr. Natasha Vita-More is chairman of Humanity+ and her work has been featured in Wired magazine, L.A. Weekly, The New York Times, U.S. News and Report, Net Business, Village Voice and more than a dozen documentaries.

Hank Pellissier is the author

of two e-books, “Invent Utopia Now” and “Why is the IQ of Ashkenazi Jews So High.” A journalist, Pellissier was the “Local Intelligence” columnist for The New York Times (San Francisco edition) and he’s a frequent contributor to the World Future Society.

In an Internet article titled

“Russians Create the Longevity Party,” biophysicist Maria Konovalenko writes that in July 2012, a group gathered in Moscow to establish the first political party aimed at extending the human life span using technological means: “This was the very first step in the long and hard process of legally registering a political party. I believe this is one of the most important things that has happened in the past few years in fighting aging. Nowhere in the world ever before have people expressed their desire to live longer in the form of a political movement.”

Konovalenko continued: “The main goal of the Longevity Party is to increase human life span so that people can live for as long as they would like to and remain young and healthy. We would like to achieve this goal by promoting scientific research and technological advances in regenerative medicine, genetics of aging and longevity, neuroscience, computer modeling of biological processes and other areas of life extension.

“There are many things we need to do in order to legally register the Party, and we have already started doing them. The next big thing we need to do is finalize the Program of the

Party. Then we have to have at least two people in 42 regions of Russia as representatives of the Party and have the founding meeting, after which the Party can be registered and eventually appear in the voting ballots.

“Our goal is to influence the authorities to support life extension technologies and increase funding for research aimed at improving people’s health and extending longevity.”

Additionally, Konovalenko reported that two Israeli life-extension activists — scholar Ilia Stambler and poet Oded Carmeli — sent a proposal to 120 members of Israel’s Knesset (Parliament) requesting that the Israeli government establish an agency to combat aging and death. An article that includes their proposal is available on the Internet at “Political Struggle Against the Disease of Aging.”

Art Kunkin is the 85-years young journalist, in 1964, who founded the alternative newspaper Los Angeles Free Press and later became president of the Philosophical Research Society. He resides in Joshua Tree at the Institute of Mentalphysics and can be reached at [email protected]. Copyright © 2013 by Art Kunkin.

By Robert KinslerThis week, three legendary

artists demonstrate their staying power with dynamic new releases.

Artist: Paul McCartneyTitle: New (Concord Music Group)Listen if you enjoy: The Beatles, Paul McCartney

From his days with the Beatles in the 1960s to the spreading of his own Wings in the 1970s, not to mention his subsequent solo efforts, Paul McCartney has proved he has a knack for conjuring up songs that are invariably tuneful but

also interesting and timeless. His latest full-length studio album, the aptly-titled “New,” is his first album of all-original songs since “Memory Almost Full” in 2007. “New” illustrates that Sir Paul has lost none of his magic as he chronicles the here and now via the bouncy “Queenie Eye,” the reflective folk song “Early Days” and the electronica-pop standout “Appreciate.” Info: paulmccartney.com.

Artist: Toad the Wet SprocketTitle: New Constellation (Abe’s Records)Listen if you enjoy:

Toad the Wet Sprocket’s previous albums, Lapdog, Vertical Horizon

When it comes to taking a break between issuing studio efforts, alternative rock quartet Toad the Wet Sprocket has just about everybody beat. Having last issued a full-length studio recording in 1997 with the outstanding “Coil,” Santa Barbara’s beloved Toad the Wet Sprocket is back with the brilliant 11-track “New

Constellation.” Few groups tap into the joys and challenges of life with the songwriting depth of Toad the Wet Sprocket — as evidenced by the glorious “The Moment,” probing “Rare Bird” and ambitious “Enough.” Singer-guitarist Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning and drummer Randy Guss have produced one of the best albums of 2013. Info: toadthewetsprocket.com.

Artist: ClannadTitle: Nádur (ARC Music)Listen if you enjoy: The Chieftains, The High Kings

Fans of traditional Irish music will be delighted to hear that Clannad is back with one of its most rewarding discs in a successful career stretching back more than four decades. The family group blends all of its diverse influences across 13 tracks; jazz, pop rock and Celtic abound with Clannad’s sterling vocal harmonies showcased throughout. The affecting ballad “TransAtlantic,” Americana-meets-folk song “Rhapsody na gCrann” and spirited pop-rocker “Brave Enough” forcefully reflect the creative spirit of the Emerald Isle. Info: arcmusic.co.uk.

By Frieda NooneINDIO – Ne Yo, the

Grammy-winning R&B singer songwriter, composer and producer, will appear in concert at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, Nov. 16.

The 31-year-old artist has been extremely prolific. In November 2012, he released

his fifth studio album, “R.E.D.,” to critical and chart success. The album’s debut single, “Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself),” became his first solo song to reach the Top 10. It is also his first album for the newly revitalized Motown Records after seven successful years and four gold

and platinum albums as a core member of Island Def Jam Music Group.

Tickets for Ne-Yo’s 8 p.m. performance are available at $109, $89, $69 and $49 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via 800-827-2946 or online at fantasyspringsresort.com.

The undersigned caused the Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by send-ing a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under-stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same

lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursu-ant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 508-7373 or visit this Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case F13-00058. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement infor-mation is to attend the scheduled sale.

senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Janet Napolitano as New UC PresidentOAKLAND - In response to

the news that Homeland Security Secretary and former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano will become the new President of the University of California system, Kathryn Lybarger, President of the university’s largest union—AFSCME 3299—has issued the following statement:

“While UC staff, students and patients were largely excluded from the secretive process that led to Secretary Janet Napolitano’s appointment, we appreciate her years of public service and congratulate her on becoming

the next President of the University of California. Secretary Napolitano’s tenure at UC begins at a time of skyrocketing student tuition, degraded patient care quality, increased privatization of public university resources, unprecedented debt, unrivaled executive excess, and declining taxpayer trust in top University leadership. While this will be the unfortunate legacy of her predecessor, it is our hope that Secretary Napolitano will work to arrest the UC’s continuing modesty problem, and restore the spirit of cooperation and respect

that’s needed to meet its core public research, academic and health delivery missions in the years to come. If she does, she

willing partner in AFSCME 3299.”AFSCME 3299 represents

more than 22,000 Service and Patient Care Technical Workers at the University of California’s

centers. Read our UC Patient Care Whistleblower Report at www.

SKY VALLEY - Bernadette Schwenn, 64, a resident of Fan Canyon in Sky Valley, was arrested on Monday, July 1 on charges of animal cruelty. Schwenn lives in a makeshift shanty with no water, no electricity and a pack of Queensland Heeler dogs.

Last April, Kitty Pallesen, an animal advocate and writer received a call saying something

may have happened to the woman living in Fan Canyon and that her dogs needed help.

Bernadette, but found so many dogs with no food or water. I went back every day delivering water and food, not knowing if the woman was dead or alive. I did not know her last name or how to contact her. I started calling different agencies trying to get help for the dogs,” Pallesen

said in an exclusive interview. “The water and food bowls

were always empty. I counted 20 or 22 dogs at the camp near the road, not knowing there were more in an upper camp.

“One night a friend of Schwenn’s stopped by with a jug of water. He had not talked to her, did not know where she was nor had any contact information for her. Before he left, he said he did not understand why something had not been done a long time ago about the situation with the dogs, and that over the years

Schwenn had been personally responsible for ‘hundreds and hundreds’ of dead dogs.

Pallesen called Animal Control, the ASPCA, the Humane Society, PETA, Animal Samaritans, a County Supervisor, “and every place I could think of. Nobody called back.

“Sky Valley Park’s chapel raised money for a bigger water container. I asked the Sky Valley Fire Station if they could deliver water, but their tanks held

and the water is not suitable for

the dogs. “On May 1, I found an older

female (dog) laying out in the sun, too weak to move or drink, breathing hard. I took her to a vet trailing blood to the exam room. She was very emaciated.

“The veterinarian said was too far gone. The only option was to humanely end her suffering. I held her, whispered, and cried for her to the end, just like she was my own dog,” Pallesen said.

This dog’s death was

Desert Businesses Clamor to Attract Same Sex WeddingsBy Jackie Devereaux

PALM SPRINGS – The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a historic ruling on Wednesday, Jun. 26 to grant same sex marriages across the nation. In their ruling on DOMA and California’s Proposition 8, the justices overturned a previous lower court ruling which declared same sex marriage unconstitutional.

Within minutes of the landmark ruling, local hoteliers and wedding planners scrambled to promote Palm Springs as a premiere wedding destination.

“The Supreme Court’s

historic action today overturning DOMA and dismissing the appeal of California’s Proposition 8, clearing the way for same-sex marriage in our state is a huge victory for the LGBT community. This is about equal rights and I

recognized that we are all the same,” said Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet.

“My husband Christopher and I look forward to same-sex weddings commencing again in the state of California – and rest assured the City of Palm Springs will continue to be a destination committed to celebrating the

institution of marriage, both heterosexual and same-sex,” Pougnet said in a prepared statement

“Riverside County is prepared to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and record their marriages immediately after the anticipated direction is received from the state and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Hopefully that day will be here soon,” said Supervisor John J. Benoit.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the matter of Hollingsworth v. Perry, making

Tampering with Evidence Indictments

By Jackie Devereaux

Emin Bernd Alihodic was born on July 21, 1951 in Siegen, Germany and immigrated to the United States sometime in the late 1980s. Alihodic left behind two children and an ex-wife. His son, Jens (Alihodic) Luschnt, 35, came to Palm Springs on Monday, Aug. 12 to search for his biological father with only a

newspaper article describing how his dad was rescued twice off Mount San Jacinto on Feb. 9, 2009 and then again on May 13, 2010.

Jens, who speaks little or no English, was adopted by his step-father at the age of 10 and only knows a little about his biological father from stories his mother told him through the years.

“I’d like to know more

about him. How’s he been living all these years,” the younger Alihodic said through a German/English interpreter.

Jens said he started looking for his father about a year and a half ago after meeting the

own family soon and through her urging, they traveled to Palm Springs to search for his biological father.

Have you seen this man?

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear own-ership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Getting to the Art of the Matter on Hwy 62

You dive deep into mysterious waters, into a soul search, with an intense level of thought. You consider the world economy, your debts, what you hold in common with another, the high price you pay for good, what’s possible with your finances. You seek to have courage amidst fear, and you perform many brave acts. The dark side approaches. You banish it into the shadows with your light.

You’re deeply concerned about those you love. You want them safe and secure, within the realm of your protection. Many of them are far away in places you consider unsafe. You really want everyone you care for to be close by. Sometimes you feel alone. You are, actually. You’re concerned about the loss and well-being of resources. You seek unusual sources of people and information to make appropriate decisions.

Focus on your health. Something deep is alerting you to be cautious, to seek a greater connection with

your physical body to vivify its life force. Something takes you out of your daily routine, directs you to realities you already know about, yet it was never the right time to consider them. Something changes, something’s demanded… everything integrates. Nothing’s routine anymore.

Events awaken you to realize life as holy, a consideration you were not fully aware of before. Something makes you know life is a shining and brilliant gift few recognize anymore. In your daily life you find you must summon creative ways to meet physical challenges. Relationships assume an unusual intensity. Something shakes up and tumbles about your very heart. Someone helps you.

Tend to the home — where you live and move and have your being-ness. You remember your childhood, the roots of your emotions, how you built your sense of responsibility. A childhood event shaped your present intellectual and emotional self. Deeper understanding, a depth of compassion for things not

understood as a child, emerges. You realize your deep needs for nurturance.

Your nervous system is stimulated, producing new forms of creativity, newer spheres of learning, the desire for travel and study. New perceptions appear while communicating with others. Contact siblings, old friends and your extended family. The important theme is family, learning more about them, loving them more. You are both student and teacher, inspired and inspirational.

You ponder upon material realities, what you own and value, what you’ve built and created. Something occurs that seems like a crisis, an ending (or a beginning). It allows you to assess what you can keep and eliminate, and more importantly, it allows you to assess yourself as valuable. You realize through all the hardships in your life, you’ve emerged with ethics, courage and strength. You want to invest in something. It’s not time yet.

You may experience an identity crisis. The old self passing away having done its work preparing you for the identity you will become. This creates disorientation until a deeper state of self-knowledge, identity and self-acknowledgment fully forms. Your image and personal goals may be changing

to fully meet the needs of your emerging, creative conscious self. It’s an initiation. It feels difficult. It’s a meaningful passage of expanded awareness. You can withstand this.

There are two health houses in the zodiac — the sixth Virgo house and the 12th Pisces house. Your 12th house is highlighted. Something concerning health is occurring, including emotional and spiritual health. It’s important to be fully engaged with your physical, emotional and mental bodies. Being in touch with the soul brings health and healing to your bodies. A breakthrough occurs. You’re humbled by something. Love, perhaps.

Know you’re unique within a unique and special group of people, beginning with family. Know it’s good to be recognized, respected, applauded and admired for your qualities and gifts. Admire and honor other Caps in your life. This is your gift of recognition to fellow Caps who don’t yet understand astrology. Remember to never abandon anyone. You always want to care for those you love. Some shock occurs, odd people enter your life, geniuses who love freedom. Just like you.

Authority issues emerge again. You are learning how to be in authority with authenticity. Remember when a leader (Ray 1, power/will), to

always include love (Ray 2). Power and authority without love can destroy both yourself and others. Power and authority with love creates wisdom within everyone. Continue to climb the ladder of success. You’re to find your rightful place in the world.

You have been moving out from the known into areas of the unknown, on the precipice and razor’s edge, which provides you with new experiences and learnings. A new path is beckoning for you to expand beyond personality boundaries that will forever alter your perspectives. You must place your trust in the messages from your intuition — from what you aspire to be and to have. You must begin to believe in yourself. This is your new frontier.

By Pam PriceJOSHUA TREE – This year’s

Hwy 62 Art Tours, scattered through the gorgeously rugged hills of the High Desert north of Palm Springs and organized by the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council, featured 89 open-studio galleries and shops. Last year, this event drew about 8,000 adventurous art lovers.

Dimitri Halkidis of Gallery 446 gathered four of his gal pals (including me) and took us on a magical mystery tour of the show that traversed unpaved roads to far-flung creative outposts.

Those with the time and patience to explore this region characterized by extreme nature and populated with amazing artists on the weekends of Oct. 19-20 and Oct. 26-27 were rewarded with entry into many private studios not normally open to the public.

Our group had an advantage, because we started out by getting the inside scoop from our friends who own Spin and Margie’s Desert Hide-A-Way — a Joshua Tree establishment described by its proprietors as “Accommodations for the Experienced Traveler”). We began our esoteric expedition

with a visit to Dr. Doolittle, the artist (not the fictional character).

Mark Doolitt le, Ph.D., specializes in reimagining wood in the image of ancient mollusks and other sea creatures and organic forms — creating nearly-living specimens of beautiful design. Through pieces such as one titled “Live Edge,” Dr. Doolittle creates mystically intricate shapes. His functional studio is adjacent his family’s remarkable residence, which harmonizes architecturally with the surrounding desert mountain landscape.

Thankfully, our vehicle had a full tank of gas, which we needed as we wandered 20 minutes off Highway 62 on Sunfair Road, past Simi Dabah’s outdoor sculpture studio, and followed a lonely sign to Lucid Stead. More on this striking and wonderfully isolated art installation— once an old homesteader’s habitat— next week.

By Dan MarinelliCOACHELLA VALLEY – With

at least two games remaining for each team in the Desert Valley League’s (DVL) Girls’ high school volleyball season, three teams have separated themselves as true leaders of the pack.

The Palm Springs High Indians (8-0 DVL, 19-3 overall), Palm Desert High Aztecs (7-1 DVL, 21-4 overall) and La Quinta High Blackhawks (3-3 DVL, 8-3 overall) are 1-2-3 in the DVL standings and ranked 113th, 180th and 313th the state, respectively.

There is a noticeable gap left among the DVL’s best with the absence of last year’s undefeated champion, Xavier Prep Saints (4-4 DVL, 6-6 overall), currently in fourth place. Their drop-off is understandable: the defending champs lost six seniors and their head coach from last year’s team.

Xavier Prep, currently under the direction of new head coach Jacqui Tricco, still has a slight chance to make the playoffs. But the Saints are going to need to finish the season strong.

With important games against the Blackhawks (10/29) and the Aztecs (10/30) upcoming, the fate of the Saints’ season could be decided by week’s end.

Unlike Xavier Prep, the Aztecs, Indians and Blackhawks are all primed to make extended runs in the playoffs. Each of these teams are hoping to be awarded high seeds in the CIF-Southern Section, Division 2A, playoffs.

The Blackhawks have two big games left to play in their season — an important game at home against Xavier Prep (10/29), and one next week, on the road, against the second-place Aztecs (11/06).

Oddly, the Blackhawks, along with the rest of the DVL, only scheduled about half as many games as the Aztecs and Indians. When it comes time to determine playoff seeds, both of these Blackhawks games will be weighted more heavily than the other schools’ final games.

Though all games are important to win, for the Blackhawks, winning these last two games will significantly boost their chances at earning a higher seed.

The Blackhawks are expected to a earn playoff spot, but unfortunately, their 3-3 record in league play has left them out of the DVL title chase.

The second-place Aztecs will play four more games this season — one of which is a crucial game against the first-place Indians on Nov. 4. With only one game separating the Aztecs and the Indians in the standings this upcoming game, the second to last game of the regular season for both schools will, no doubt — barring any upsets — decide the 2013 champion of the DVL.

The Aztecs, led by senior opposite and captain Samantha Merr i l l , have pos i t ioned themselvesd to claim the DVL title for the first time since 2009.

In addition to Merrill, the Aztecs will need to utilize the DVL’s leader in kills, senior outside hitter Kenzie Kazmer, to have a shot at avenging their Oct. 10 loss at Palm Springs and taking the title.

On the Indians’ side, senior outside hitter and 2012 DVL player of the year Olivia Mediano will do all in her power to defeat the Aztecs. A win for the Indians would mean remaining undefeated in the DVL, winning their first league

championship in two years and extending their winning streak to 14 games.

If the Aztecs want have any chance at winning the DVL

championship, they will need to put up their best fight because they’ll be facing the Indians on Palm Springs’ home court.

The Aztecs’ huge Nov. 4

match against the Indians starts at 6 p.m. Also, next Wednesday’s season-ending games for the Aztecs, Blackhawks and Indians all start at 5:30 p.m.
