DESERT HOT SPRINGS – The Desert Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce and the staff of the town’s iconic Two Bunch Palms Resort and Spa held a mixer and ribbon-cutting last Thursday evening, Nov. 14.

The resort’s new management has been working to update and refresh the property while maintaining the precious, unique qualities of a site that has drawn visitors and celebrities for over 600 years. The resort’s restaurant, Essense (shown here) has been enlarged to maximize the mountain views and offer a farm-to-table menu that is both gourmet and healthier. An earth mound-designed Yoga Dome has been completed and opened to provide daily movement classes, and the meditative hot springs grotto has been resurfaced to reinforce it structurally. A fitness room has also been added and the landscaping improved to provide various places to relax, meditate or enjoy a hammock with a book.

Among those participating in the ribbon-cutting at Essense were DHS Mayor Yvonne Parks; DHS Council Members Russell Betts, Scott Mattas, Jan Pye and (newly elected mayor) Adam Sanchez; Two Bunch Palms Owner /CEO Kevin Kelly, Two Bunch Palms General Manager John Trudeau and DHS Chamber of Commerce President / CEO Heather Coladonato.

PALM DESERT – An afternoon of entertainment and honors was presented by Desert Samaritans on Sunday, Nov. 17, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa. The event was held to recognize seniors that have given of their time, talents and money to aid the Coachella Valley and the Desert Samaritans, which provides aid to low-income seniors with Food Assistance, Case Management and Social Service programs.

The Samaritans’ board of directors honored Mary Hansen-Faris with the newly named Mary

Hansen-Faris Golden Senior Award for all she has done to support local seniors. The Golden Senior award was presented to Betty Frances, society editor of The Desert Sun, for her years of covering charitable events. The 2013 Good Samaritan of the Year award was given to Robert and Jo Pond. All honorees were escorted to the stage by CEO Doug Morin.

PALM SPRINGS – Just Fabulous Book Store held a book signing with popular author Jackie Collins last Saturday, Nov. 16. She greeted her fans and autographed her book “The Power Trip” at the event.

Collins noted to the surprise of many that she still writes her books in long hand, describing it as a “lost art.” (No wonder she can sign so many books without getting writer’s cramp!) She has penned 29 books thus far, and all have made The New York Times Bestseller List. Collins, the sister of actor Joan Collins, has sold over 500 million copies of her books worldwide and she is ranked the UK’s fifth richest author.

Collins has also written screenplays and produced TV shows and movies. She is shown here seated with Just Fabulous co-owner Stephen Monkarsh and Grace Robbins, ex-wife of the late novelist and Palm Springs resident Harold Robbins. (Photo by Pat Krause)

Indian Canyons Hiking Areas ReopenBy Larry Jameson

PALM SPRINGS – The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is pleased to announce that it has reopened Indian Canyons as of this past Monday, Nov. 18.

The tribe closed the popular hiking areas, which encompass Palm Canyon, Andreas Canyon and Murray Canyon, in early September after flash floods tore through the landscape. Fast-moving water from the heavy rains carried trees, boulders and mud down the mountain — damaging trails, roads and access to portions of the sprawling natural location.

“Repairs to our roads and trails are nearly complete,” said Tribal Chairman Jeff L. Grubbe. “We are pleased to be able to reopen this beautiful area to the public before the holidays.”

Crews from various agencies have been involved with the tribe in repairing the damaged areas. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians has expressed special appreciation to the following agencies who have generously assisted with the flood damage response: Ramona Redhawks Fire Crew, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Burn Area Emergency Response Team and Cal-Fire Oak Glen.

Indian Canyons, covering an approximate 56-square mile expanse that includes more than 60 miles of trails, annually

attracts more than 125,000 visitors who enjoy the scenic paths, plants, wildlife and cultural sites. Palm Canyon is considered the world’s largest oasis of California Fan Palms.

The canyons were also closed temporarily in July, when more than 6,000 acres burned on the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians reservation during the Mountain Fire.

The wor ld-renowned Indian Canyons are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. For more info on Indian Canyons, visit indian-canyons.com/palm.html.

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuil la Indians is a federally recognized Indian Tribe located in Palm Springs, with 32,000 acres of reservation lands that spread across Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, and into the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains. The tribe currently owns and operates two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Spa Resort Casino and Hotel in downtown Palm Springs and the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage. For more info about the tribe, visit aguacaliente-nsn.gov.

Stimulus Battle Shaping Up in EUBy Kevin Powell

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, governing European Central Bank (ECB) council member Peter Praet made it clear that ECB was looking at a Fed-style quantitative easing program to put an end to inflation in southern Europe.

Ken Wattret BNP Paribas saw this as very positive for the entire European Union (EU). BNP Paribas is the fourth-largest bank in the world and larger than any U.S. bank. Wattret pointed out this was a radical change of position for ECB.

Wattret saw the old policies of worrying about inflation and

ignoring growth opportunities as holding back EU economies. The plunge in inflation in October was the proof source he cited.

Of course, any moves toward more stimuli will anger Germany because it is the strongest EU economy. Lower rates weaken German savings. Germany isn’t necessarily pleased that an Italian-controlled central bank is dictating policy.

Even though a fight is brewing, it should be expected that Germany will allow the additional stimulus to occur.

Currency will likely play a much larger role in the future as the dovish Fed policies we currently have in the U.S. are driving down the value of the U.S. dollar. The Euro is likely to decline in value with lower interest rates in place.

China is trying to keep its currency devalued to offset the strong growth it saw from 2005-10. Recent estimates put Chinese debt close to 50 percent of its gross domestic product. This is much higher than was ever expected and could cause China to keep the Yuan weak to spur growth.

With a weak Euro, U.S. dollar

and Yuan, it will be interesting to see where traders turn.

European stock markets have surged since the summer, gaining most all of their 20 percent year-to-date gains since that time. That would put European stocks as one of the top performers over the past five

months. With additional stimulus from ECB, European stocks could once again be in position to offer attractive returns.

We a re c u r r e n t l y recommending that clients take some of the profits we have made in the U.S. and shift that money into a European exchange-

traded fund. European returns could outpace the U.S., since our bull market has been running for more than four years.

Real Estate go to work for you!

By Larry JamesonDESERT HOT SPRINGS –

Skyborne, the premier master-planned residential community, and Family Services of the Desert are pleased to bring you the Third Annual Skyborne 1/2 Marathon & 5K Run/Walk on Saturday,

Dec. 7, at Skyborne. “We’re very happy to be

working with Family Services of the Desert again in bringing this exciting event to the community of Desert Hot Springs,” said Jim Kozak of Skyborne. “This is a great running event that brings in

participants from other states as well as runners from all over the Inland Empire.”

The Skyborne 1/2 Marathon and 5K is just a short distance from Joshua Tree National Park lands. The USATF Certified course takes in the spectacular views of the Coachella Valley, Mt. San Jacinto, Mt. San Gorgonio and the iconic windmills of North Palm Springs. Funds raised from the event benefit Family Services of the Desert / Food Now, a 501c3 organization providing counseling and food assistance to residents of Desert Hot Springs and the Coachella Valley since 1959.

Half Marathon starts at

7:30 a.m. and 5K at 8:30 a.m. Registration fees are $45 and $30 respectively, with a special youth (ages 12-17) and seniors’ price of $20. Children 11 and under may walk the 5K with a parent or adult, but only paid registrants will receive jerseys, chip timing and finisher medals. Included with entry fee: multicolor, poly pro-tech logo shirt, goody bag, finisher medals, divisional awards and post-race recovery refreshments. New this year: free finish line photo for every runner.

The scenic 13.1 mile course is paved and ascends a gentle rise through undisturbed desert vegetation. The downhill finish

takes in breathtaking vistas of the mountains, windmills and a view of the Coachella Valley extending all the way to the Salton Sea. Weather in early December is typically sunny, clear and pleasant. The USATF Certified course is under the direction of Klein and Clark Sports (kleinclarksports.com). There will be eight water stops as well as energy gels by Clif Bar.

For more info on the event, advance registration and Family Services of the Desert, visit thefamilyservicesofthedesert.org.

artistry,” said PSIFF Chairman Harold Matzner. “In her latest and arguably most demanding role as first-time astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone in ‘Gravity,’ she faces the primal nightmare of being stranded in space with no apparent way of returning. Throughout the entire film, her determination to survive is masterfully portrayed.”

Past recipients of the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actress, include Halle Berry, Marion Cotillard,

Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Naomi

Watts and Michelle Williams.Matzner had similar high

praise for McConaughey. “Matthew is the rare

actor who effortlessly moves between cinematic genres — an extraordinary and versatile talent,” he said. “From drama to thrillers to romantic comedies, he captivates audiences with the depth and range of his performances. In the acclaimed new movie ‘Dallas Buyers Club,’ he plays real-life cowboy Ron Woodroof, who was diagnosed with HIV in 1985 and given a month to live — but fought for

dignity, acceptance and living life to the fullest.”

Past recipients of the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, include Jeff Bridges, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.

Joining Bul lock and McConaughey as special PSIFF honorees will be veteran actor Bruce Dern, who will receive the Career Achievement Award.

“Bruce is truly a one of a kind performer who continues to challenge and delight audiences with each performance,” said Matzner. “His skill at capturing the essence of a character, no matter how complex or unorthodox, is unique and unparalleled. In over 80 feature films, this talent is vividly reflected in such classic roles as the deranged pilot plotting a mass attack in ‘Bloody Sunday’ and the scarred Vietnam vet who returns home to find his wife embroiled in an affair with another man in ‘Coming Home.’

“In his latest cinematic endeavor ‘Nebraska,’ Bruce brings his consummate acting gifts to the role of an inscrutable elderly father who, with his son, journeys to claim a million-dollar prize while ultimately coming face to face with his past.”

Matzner pointed out that Dern took the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his “Nebraska” role. Past Career Achievement Award honorees include Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood, Sally

Field, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren.

PSIFF is one of the largest film festivals in North America, welcoming 135,000 attendees annually for its lineup of new and celebrated international features and documentaries. It is also known for its annual Awards Gala honoring the best achievements of the filmic year by a celebrated list of talents who, in recent years, have included Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Cate Blanchett, Danny Boyle, Bradley Cooper, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ron Howard, Helen Mirren and Kate Winslet.

This year’s PSIFF Awards Gala is sponsored by Mercedes

Benz and ‘Entertainment Tonight.’ The City of Palm Springs is the title sponsor of the festival. Presenting sponsors are Wells Fargo, The Desert Sun and Spencer’s. Major sponsors are AARP, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, Wessman Development, Bank of America, Wintec, Regal Entertainment Group, Windermere Real Estate, Eisenhower Medical Cen te r, Gu thy -Renke r, Integrated Wealth Management, PalmSpringsOasis.com, Ocean Properties, Panavision, Chihuly and Telefilm Canada.

By Art Kunkin (Mr. Life Extension)This column is based on

an Internet fact sheet about tea prepared by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). I accessed this information for the benefit of Desert Star Weekly’s readers.

Among the key points I learned is that tea contains certain chemical compounds called antioxidants (polyphenols) “whose biological activities may be relevant to cancer prevention…. Few clinical trials of tea consumption and cancer prevention have been conducted and their results have been inconclusive….”

The fact sheet continues: “Inconsistencies in study findings regarding tea and cancer risk may be due to variability in tea preparation, tea consumption, the bio-availability of tea compounds (the amounts that can be absorbed by the body), lifestyle differences and individual genetic differences….”

Some key tea statistics from NCI, offered here mostly verbatim from its publicly available document:

Defining Tea: Tea is one of the most ancient and popular beverages consumed around the world. Black tea

accounts for about 75 percent of the world’s tea consumption in the U.S., United Kingdom and Europe, while green tea is the most popular tea in Japan and China. Oolong and white tea are consumed in much lesser amounts.

Shortly after harvesting, chemicals in tea leaves are broken down by enzymes, resulting in darkening of the leaves and the well-recognized aroma of tea. The amount of oxidation determines a tea’s type.

Black tea is produced when tea leaves are wilted, bruised, rolled and fully oxidized. In contrast, green tea is made from unwilted leaves that are not oxidized. Oolong tea is made from wilted, bruised and partially oxidized leaves — creating an intermediate kind of tea. White tea is made from young leaves or growth buds that have undergone minimal oxidation.

Tea is brewed from dried leaves and buds (either in tea bags or loose), prepared from dry instant tea mixes, or sold as ready-to-drink iced teas. So-called herbal teas are not really teas but boiled water infused with dried fruits, herbs and/or flowers.

Tea as a Cancer Fighter: Chemicals found in tea (polyphenols) have been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. The precise mechanism by which tea might help prevent cancer has not been established.

Tea has long been regarded as an aid to good health and many believe it can help reduce the risk of cancer. Most studies of tea and cancer prevention have focused on green tea.

More than 50 epidemiologic studies of the association between tea consumption and cancer risk have been published

since 2006. The results of these studies have often been inconsistent but some have linked tea consumption to reduced risks of cancers of the colon, breast, ovary, prostate and lung.

Safety Considerations: Tea as a food item is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In a Japanese study, children aged six to 16 years consumed a green tea beverage for 24 weeks with no adverse effects.

As with other caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and colas, the caffeine contained in many tea products could potentially cause adverse effects. However, there is little evidence of health risks for adults consuming moderate amounts of caffeine (about 300 to 400 mg per day).

NCI is a research institution. It develops evidence-based research results for others to interpret. In general, therefore, NCI does not make recommendations about specific medical or dietary interventions.

Moreover, as noted above, the evidence regarding the potential benefits of tea consumption in relation to cancer is inconclusive at present.

Story and Photos by Pat KrausePALM SPRINGS – Desert

Arc and The International Opera Institute held a unique fundraiser at the Palm Springs Air Museum last Saturday, Nov. 16. The out-of-this-world happening brought Apollo 14 Astronaut Ed Mitchell — one of only six surviving astronauts from NASA’s Mercury 7 program — to the Coachella Valley.

Mitchell was interviewed onstage by author Dr. Jim Hanson. Hanson asked the former spaceman several questions about his time in orbit. Mitchell’s

fascinating answers left the audience, especially the teachers in the audience, wanting more.

Guests were treated to a buffet dinner and a meet-and-greet with Mitchell, who was very gracious and even posed for photos with fans beside his astronaut statue (shown at right). Two highlights of the event were musical ones, including “Apollo 14 Space Opera,” with singers led by composer David Meckeler, and a closing rendition of “God Bless the U.S.A.” performed by Michael D’Angelo and an ensemble.

– Can’t stand the heat of the kitchen… and just want to cut to the feast on Thanksgiving? A number of restaurants in the Coachella Valley are offering sumptuous Turkey Day meals for the stovetop-challenged.

For Thanksgiving, cozy up with friends and family to enjoy Workshop’s house-brined and

duck fat-fried turkey, complete with winter-spiced cranberry preserves, marjoram pan gravy and a warm fluffy biscuit. Sip the restaurant’s very own Persimmon Ricky throughout dinner and end the evening with Pumpkin + Black Beer Bread Pudding or the Red Wine-Poached Pear for dessert.

On New Year’s Eve, Chef Michael Beckman and his team will prepare a fantastic five-course meal to ring in 2014. Choose from myriad appetizers, entrees,

desserts and cocktails that are sure to set the mood of the evening. Visit workshoppalmsprings.com for all the incredibly savory details.

New Year’s Eve is $195 per person for booth seating (three persons, minimum) and $145 per person at a community table, patio or private dining room. Call 760.459.3451.

In Coachella, Spotlight 29 Casino is offering a traditional Thanksgiving feast at its Café Capitata. This buffet will feature all the expected trimmings cooked to perfection and ready for you to enjoy, including turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied yams, creamed spinach and green beans. If you’re in the mood to switch it up a bit, there will be a fresh and healthy seafood station with peel-and-eat shrimp, oysters, mussels and sushi, as well as a carving station with tender, juicy prime rib.

By Frieda NooneTWENTYNINE PALMS – The

holiday classic ghost story by Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” is running weekends through Dec. 14 at Theatre 29.

A fair of amount of overlapping holiday drama preceded this ambitious staging. Director Rob Wanless said the timing of the rehearsal cycle of the show — with the popular “Halloween Haunt” running

concurrently — presented a special, and rather convoluted, challenge for his production company.

“We had some good and bad effects of being in rehearsal while a full third of our actors where in the Haunt,” he explained. “Actors and other production staff at rehearsal had to fill in for those not there. For example, Seth Eskelund, who plays ‘Young Scrooge,’ who

works for Fezziwig and falls in love with Belle (played by Lizzie Schmelling)… Lizzie was in the Haunt, so during rehearsals, we had Seth’s mom play Belle, then Adam Redmon, then Emily Sheckler.”

Wanless chuckled and added, “Schmelling said she could show up for ‘A Christmas Carol’ rehearsal to play Belle in her Zombie make up from the Haunt, but we told her that would just result in more Facebook moments than rehearsal!”

The veteran director said there were other light moments, too. “During the Fezziwig scene, the music is from the 1700s — ‘The Voices of Spring,’ by Johann Strauss. But we had a hard time with the download, so for two weeks, the music we used was ‘Take on Me’ by Aha.”

Wanless is very proud of his cast — both Theatre 29 veterans and the new faces. “I love this adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol,’ he said. “The characters are believable — even the ghosts. There is an intrinsic humor in the flaws that we see in Ebenezer Scrooge, and the ghosts point out these flaws. We find ourselves hoping for some good to come to the families affected by Scrooge’s greed, knowing that with a stroke of a pen, he could either save or squash someone.

“The actors assembled for this production bring these

characters to life and will make you laugh. They will make you shed a tear, and they’ll make you have hope for strangers. By the end, these actors will make you grateful for redemption.”

Theatre 29, a non-profit, all-volunteer community theater, is located at 73637 Sullivan Road. “A Christmas Carol” is being performed Friday and Saturday

nights at 7 p.m., with Sunday matinees Nov. 24 and Dec. 8 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors and military, and $8 for students with ID and children under 12. The play is suitable for all age groups. Tickets can be reserved at theatre29.org or by calling the Theatre 29 box office at 760-361-4151.

By Frieda NooneLA QUINTA – Village Park

Animal Hospital, owned and operated in Old Town La Quinta by Dr. Kathryn Carlson since 1998, recently debuted its new 8,700 square-foot animal hospital and care facility on Eisenhower Drive, next to the La Quinta Community Park.

The grand open ing celebration is this Saturday, Nov. 23, from 5-8 p.m. The public is invited for facility tours, canine physical therapy demonstrations (including the Underwater Treadmill), educational vendors and refreshments.

The Village Park Animal Hospital is unique in the Coachella Valley. Dr. Carlson provides complete health care for small animals, including cats, dogs, pocket pets and even pigs. She offers wellness visits, vaccinations, nutrition counseling and surgical care ranging from spaying / neutering to dental.

“I am very excited to have a top-notch facility to match our top-notch care,” said Dr. Carlson. “And I’m thrilled to have all of our business offerings in one place, where I feel we will have the opportunity to improve our client / patient care. I want our

clients, our precious patients and our staff to be able to enjoy this new space, and to be able to participate in future continuing education and other fun events. This is a dream come true for me, and I am both excited and honored to share it with my wonderful clients and staff.”

The boarding space has six suites all equipped with Direct TV for the dogs’ viewing pleasure, dog runs, and an upgraded kitty condo, plus a “mountain patio” for which the facility’s four-legged guests can enjoy the views.

The entire practice and staff — from the front desk to the vet

techs — works both professionally and from the heart. This comes directly from Dr. Carlson, who has built her practice from the beginning with tender loving care and compassion to all patients and their owners.

Dr. Carlson’s practice has grown to four female veterinarians. They offer physical therapy and rehabilitation (for post-surgical care, arthritis treatment and even weight loss), as well

as grooming and a full retail shop with a wide selection of products and competitive pricing. The facility remains the only local physical rehabilitation center for animals, and it even has a certified pet massage therapist on staff.

Village Park Animal Hospital is at 51-230 Eisenhower Dr ive . For more in fo , call 760-564-3833 or visit villageparkanimalhospital.com.

By Pamela PriceRANCHO MIRAGE –

Creating the ultimate opportunity for cultivating the performing arts through a generous gift of $1.5 million, Helene Galen has opened doors for high school students with an interest in the theatrical arts.

On Nov. 15, at the dedication of the Helene Galen Performing Arts Center and the Helene Galen Theatre at the new Rancho Mirage High School city officials, friends and family honored the Galen Family Foundation for its generous gift while applauding the opportunities it provides for the student body.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, the featured speaker, praised Helene Galen, as did Shari Stewart, president of the Palm Springs Unified Board of Education. The opening comments were followed by the presentation of a proclamation from Brian Nestande and V. Manuel Perez, California State Assemblymen. Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit offered his appreciation along with Rancho

Mirage Mayor Richard Kite. All agreed that Galen’s philanthropic commitment to the Coachella Valley was an inspiration.

“If you get you should give,” said Galen in closing remarks. The guest of honor emigrated to the U.S. from England in 1956 and has resided in Rancho Mirage since 1975.

A screening of “The Arts in Public Schools,” an entertaining homage to Galen produced by Trick Dog Films, charmed the audience with in inclusion of remarks by several of the subject’s friends — who were seated in the front row: Kaye Ballard, Carol Channing and David Zippel.

Other local celebrities joining in the onscreen chorus of Galen kudos were Susan Anton, Michael Childers, Norm Crosby, Jack Jones, Laurence Luckinbill, Lorna Luft, Barry Manilow, Peter Marshall and Suzanne Somers. They reminisced about their own topsy-turvy high school days, emphasizing the importance of the performing arts as a refuge, a creative outlet and a character-

building career pursuit.“ T h e e d u c a t i o n a l

opportunities for Rancho Mirage high school students focused on dance, drama and all aspects

of the performing arts are now possible and endless — what a gift this is to our community!” remarked Valerie Mahabir, director of the Rancho Mirage-

based Desert Youth Ballet and the Valerie Mahabir Academy of Ballet and Performing Arts.

The hour-long dedication concluded with the high school’s sports mantra, “Go Rattlers!” and was followed by a reception.

By Theda Kleinhans Reichman“Thor: The Dark World”

brings the Mighty Avenger, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), back to theaters. The character first leapt from Marvel’s comic book pages to the silver screen two years ago in “Thor,” and in 2012, he joined forces with other Marvel superheroes like Iron Man, the Incredible Green Hulk and Captain America in “Marvel’s The Avengers.” Their combined mission — to save the universe from chaos.

Now Thor returns in the second installment of his own personal saga, “Thor: The Dark World.” This time the incredible blonde hunk must

save the universe from Malekith (Christopher Eccleston), the vengeful leader of an ancient race determined to plunge Earth and all the Nine Realms into darkness.

At one point in time, Thor’s father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and the warriors of Asgard defeated Malekith. They stripped him of his powers and placed him in a Limbo-like state where he could do no harm. Unfortunately Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who we met in the first Thor movie, inadvertently discovers a

cosmic wormhole that releases Malekith and his evil army of darkness back into the universe. Uh-oh.

For Thor fans, and comic book enthusiasts in general, there are plenty of battles as Thor wields his mighty hammer. For older viewers there may be one too many battles, but the younger crowd will be thrilled as heads roll and Asgard is once again invaded by Malekith’s dark forces.

While Thor, as always, looks buffed and sexy, it is his rotten younger brother Loki, played to snaky perfection by Tom Hiddleston, who steals the movie. He is a fellow that only a mother

(Rene Russo as Frigga) could love — even while his father, Odin, does not. In fact, Dad has banished Loki to a glass-like prison where he will never be able to escape… that is, until Thor decides to give his nasty,

shape-shifting brother a second chance to redeem himself. All Loki has to do is help Thor battle the even more horrible Malekith.

But can Loki be trusted? Can the brothers ever reconcile? Will Odin get over his overwhelming distrust of his son who has gone over to the dark side? These are all questions raised in this cosmic battle-filled adventure.

Jaimie Alexander, as Sif, a fierce woman warrior would make a great mate for Thor since both can hold their own in the epic, large-scale battle scenes, but it is earthling Natalie Portman who seems to have captured Thor’s heart.

The ending is a real cliffhanger. I won’t say, but I am sure the conclusion’s true meaning and scope will be revealed in the third installment of Thor — coming inevitably to a theater near you.

“Thor: The Dark World,” from Marvel Studios, is rated PG-13 for intense comic book-style violence.

By Frieda NoonePALM SPRINGS – In

recognition of her tremendous contributions to the community, event producer Mariah Hanson will be honored with the prestigious 2013 Athena Leadership Award by Mayor Steve Pougnet, the City of Palm Springs and the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce Athena Committee.

The 27th Annual Athena Awards, presented by the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Mayor Steve Pougnet and CBS Local 2’s Brooke Beare, is one of the most anticipated events of the Coachella Valley high season. The awards will be presented at a luncheon on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Renaissance Palm Springs.

Hanson’s visionary leadership as the founder of one of the city’s largest tourism boosters, the world- famous and hugely successful Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend — also known as “The Dinah” — makes her the perfect choice for the award. Hanson’s extraordinary accomplishment with The Dinah has, for the past 24 years, not

only continuously promoted Palm Springs as a “must” destination but has created a viable platform for the advancement of the LGBT community.

The most popular lesbian event in the world, The Dinah attracts thousands of women from all walks and allows them to enjoy the freedom to be who they truly are. With The Dinah, Hanson provides a haven where acceptance and tolerance — in its deepest values — rule.

Other 2013 honorees joining Mariah Hanson at the Athena Awards luncheon will be Helene Galen (see related story, page 7), who is to be given the Community Icon Award, and showbiz legend Carol Channing, who is to receive the Jackie Lee Houston Angel Award.

“Helene Galen, Carol Channing and Mariah Hanson truly exemplify the highest level of achievement when it comes to excellence in community leadership, and all three of these amazing ladies serve as tremendous role models for future generations of women leaders,” said Mayor Steve Pougnet. “I want

to thank them for their outstanding contributions to Palm Springs, and I encourage everyone in the Coachella Valley to join the Palm Springs Chamber as we celebrate these remarkable women.”

Inspired by the goddess of Greek mythology known for her strength, courage, wisdom and enlightenment, the Athena Leadership Award is presented to exemplary community leaders who are honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills.

Presented annually by chambers of commerce around the nation, the Athena Awards are a distinguished honor that pays tribute to women who demonstrate excellence and creativity in their business or in the community at large. In addition, the awards actively assist women in realizing their full leadership potential, according to Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce CEO Nona Watson — who concurred with Pougnet that this year’s honorees are “truly spectacular women

leaders making a difference in the Coachella Valley.”

The Renaissance Palm Springs is located at 888 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way. For tickets

COD Conjures Up ‘Phantasmagoria’

“Am I The Man Who Suddenly Explodes,” by Lee Balan. Mixed assemblage, 2011.

“Santa Rosa, 5 PM,” by Brian Wilson. Mixed media, 2012.

By Larry JamesonPALM DESERT – The

Walter N. Marks Center for the Arts at College of the Desert (COD) presents the paintings and mixed media artworks of five artists whose haunting imagery straddles a thin line between abstract and surreal in Phantasmagoria, on exhibition running through Dec. 12.

“Phantasmagoria” as an art form has its roots in late-18th century theater, in which a modified lantern was used to project frightening figures, shadows and reflections onto a surface. The exhibition title, Phantasmagoria, refers to deceptive images and illusions. These surreal and dreamlike images began in the minds of the artists and are completed by the imagination of the viewer.

This compilation of collage, assemblage and paintings by

artists Lee Balan, Shaktima Brien, Shahram Farshadfar, Peggy Vermeer and Brian Wilson wavers between abstract and surreal. Familiar objects and imagery appear from a fog of color, brushwork, light and sometimes chaos. It is up to the viewer to decipher what is really portrayed and what is surfacing from their own subconscious.

The artists come from varied backgrounds and styles.

Shaktima Brien has been published multiple times as an artist and author. This year alone, she released three art books featuring her paintings. She wrote a novel which she adapted into an award-winning screenplay based on the idea of the “Goddess Journey” — a theme that can also be found in her artwork. Brien has exhibited at the Palm Springs Art Museum and the UCLA Fowler Museum.

Lee Balan has been working and exhibiting as a fine artist for 30 years and is also a poet, published author and performance artist with a deeper understanding of how the creative mind works. He earned a B.A. in Art and Sociology and also a Graduate Certificate in Counseling. Balan describes himself as an experimental artist who uses mixed-media to create sensory experiences. He has exhibited The Palm Springs Art Museum, M-modern Gallery and the L.A. Center for Digital Art.

Iranian born Shahram Farshadfar studied art in New York before moving to Los Angeles to study Comparative Religion. After working in the fashion industry and being introduced to hypnotherapy, Farshadfar moved to Palm Springs, where he continues to pursue creative outlets and still

reach people on a subconscious level.

Peggy Vermeer has been an active member of the Coachella Valley art scene for over 40 years. She worked for the Palm Springs Desert Museum (now the Palm Springs Art Museum) for 28 years as the Art Education Specialist, and assisted in the formation of the docent program. She is a mixed media artist who creates paintings, prints, collages and assemblage sculptures, and has exhibited at the Palm Springs Art Museum and Coachella Valley History Museum.

California resident and artist Brian Wilson is fascinated with the physical landscape and the human condition. As a

child, he began drawing maps, landscapes and architectural renderings; as an adult, his works have recently morphed into mostly acrylic based, mixed media paintings and textures. Wilson’s works have been shown in several solo shows at Espresso Cielo in Palm Springs, as well as in group shows at the Red Arrow Gallery in Joshua Tree.

The Marks Art Center at COD, located at 43-500 Monterey Ave., is always free and open to the public Monday- Thursday and the first Sunday of the month, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment. For more info, call 760.776.7278 or visit collegeofthedesert.edu.

By Frieda NooneWant to be the host with the most this holiday season? Holiday entertaining can be particularly tricky, as everything has

to be just right. But you don’t have to let it stress you out, say experts.“From setting the table to creating a scrumptious dessert station, you can better impress your guests if you are prepared,”

says Jessica Joyce, a spokeswoman for Bed Bath & Beyond.As you make your plans, consider these helpful tips from Joyce for putting together the perfect holiday meal and creating

an inviting atmosphere all season long…

Remove the Guesswork: The key to reducing stress around holiday entertaining is to plan. Start putting together a guest list and menu ahead of time. Determine the hors d’oeurves, drinks, main course, side dishes, coffee bar and desserts.

Turkey Talk: Once the menu is selected, make sure you have the right kitchenware to prepare the meal — especially the turkey. Turkey essentials include a roasting pan, meat thermometer and gravy separator. Keep in mind that every turkey is different, so your roaster should be able to handle even a 25-pound holiday bird.Your serving plate will need to be large enough to accommodate your turkey, and there should be enough additional room on the plate to surround it with garnish.

Mix and Match Dinnerware: When it comes to serving guests, it’s helpful to get assorted dinnerware in both white and clear so you can mix and match as needed. Be sure that you have enough of the right glassware for serving cocktails when guests first arrive. Have a water glass and a wine glass on the table for each guest to use during the meal.Presentation: Consider how you’d like to present your meal to your guests. Whether it’s a sit-down dinner or buffet style, your food will be the main focus. A triple slow cooker is great for a buffet. It will let you cook, keep your food warm and al-low your guests to help themselves all at once.

Create a “Tablescape”: You can make a great impression before your guests even sit down to eat by crafting a beautiful set-ting. Create ambience by adorning the holiday dinner table and buffet area with seasonally inspired décor and infusing pops of color with the tablecloth, metallic chargers, napkins and fresh flowers.

Mood Lighting: For a finishing touch, set the mood with candles by using a mix of tea lights and candlesticks on the table at varying heights.

With some special touches to your menu and décor, you can make this holiday a memorable one. (StatePoint)

By Frieda NooneBetween decorating your home and preparing the year’s most important meal, you may lose

steam by the time you get to the sweet stuff.But creating holiday desserts that stand out doesn’t have to be a daunting prospect. There are

simple things you can do to give treats flair, without spending hours slaving away.Whipped topping makes a perfect fuss-free topping on special occasion pies, cakes and cookies,

as well as your everyday favorites like fruit, coffee and ice cream.Your family and guests will taste the difference, so be sure to use natural ingredients where pos-

sible. For example, Reddi-wip is made from real dairy cream, unlike other leading brands which have hydrogenated oils as their primary ingredient.

To top off your holiday meal in grand yet simple fashion, try this recipe for Apple Crumble Pie. It combines warm apple pie filling with brown sugar and oat crumble within a flaky pie crust.

INGReDIeNTs:• 1 frozen pie crust (9-inch), thawed• 1 can (21 oz each) apple pie filling• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour• 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon• 1/4 tsp. salt• 1/2 cup cold margarine or butter

DIReCTIoNs:• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pierce bottom and side of pie crust lightly with fork. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool slightly. Reduce oven tempera-ture to 400 degrees F.• Pour pie filling into baked pie crust; set aside. Mix flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon and salt in medium bowl. Add butter or margarine with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over pie filling.• Bake 25 minutes or until juices are bubbly and topping is golden brown. Cool slightly. Cut into 8 slices.• Add any topping desired and serve.

Don’t let your desserts take a back seat to the rest of your holiday food. With this Apple Crumble Pie gracing your table, you can pack a big taste punch with minimal effort — leaving more time for making memories. (StatePoint)

This fuss-free Apple Crumble Pie will cap your Thanksgiving feast delightfully.

By Robert KinslerCool concert films featuring

recent shows from Rush and The Rolling Stones, as well as the latest decade-themed musical mining operation from the magical duo of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, are on ear tap this week.

Artists: Matthew Sweet and Susanna HoffsTitle: “Under the Covers, Vol. 3” (Shout! Factory)Listen if you enjoy: R.E.M., The Bangles, The English Beat

There have been plenty of musical supergroups over the years, ranging from Asia and Bad Company to the Traveling

Wilburys. When it comes to super duos, the unlikely teaming of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs is equally special. In 2006, “Sid n Susie” — as they’re known together — released their musical love letter to the 1960s, “Under the Covers, Vol. 1,” which showcased artful and exuberant versions of some of that decade’s best songs. With the release of a similarly-minded “Vol. 2” tackling ’70s songs in 2009, fans had been hoping for a 1980s-mining disc — and it has fully arrived via the 14-track “Vol. 3.” Highlights here include a buoyant rendition of R.E.M.’s “Sitting Still,” an introspective reworking of the Dave Edmunds fave “Girls Talk” and a captivating take on Roxy

Music’s “More Than This.”

Artist: RushTitle: “Clockwork Angels Tour” (Anthem / Zoe Vision / Rounder Records)Listen if you enjoy: Rush, Dream Theater

Anyone who caught Rush at any of the trio’s Clockwork Angels shows in 2012 or earlier this year knows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ three-hour concerts were each a tour de force. Now the band’s 11-month world tour in support of the Canadian

outfit’s wonderful “Clockwork Angels” concept album will live on, thanks to the release of the aptly-titled “Clockwork Angels Tour” (available on DVD and Blu-ray). In addition to the concert itself, bonus features include a soundcheck recording of “Limelight,” a tour documentary and much more.

Artist: The Rolling StonesTitle: “Sweet Summer Sun — Hyde Park Live” (Eagle Rock Entertainment)Listen if you enjoy: The Rolling Stones, Mick Taylor

It’s hard to keep a great band down. More than 50 years after forming in London in 1962, the Rolling Stones returned home

this summer to perform in front of 100,000 at Hyde Park. The two-hour 2013 concert not only featured the band playing rousing versions of some of their most beloved songs (“Brown Sugar,” “Happy,” “Miss You,” “Gimme Shelter”), but found Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood joined by former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor (whose first gig with the group was at the original 1969 Hyde Park concert) for the blues-rock opus “Midnight Rambler” and set-ending “Satisfaction.” “Sweet Summer Sun — Hyde Park Live” showcases a legendary band that despite all the odds, and years, still can deliver in full.

By Frieda NoonePALM DESERT – Grammy-

winning jazz / pop singer Jack Jones, a desert resident, takes the McCallum Theatre stage for one performance this Saturday, Nov. 23.

Jones’s showbiz resume dates to the late 1950s, when, at 19, he made his debut in his father Allan’s act at the Thunderbird Hotel in Las Vegas.

His break came in 1959, when a demo landed him at Capitol Records, where he recorded the album “This Love of Mine.” One single from it, “This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” caught the attention of a San Francisco club owner, who booked him. While performing

there, he was signed by a producer for Kapp Records.

Jones developed an appreciation for songs that told stories, leading him to record works by great balladeers such as Sammy Cahn, Cole Porter, and Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

Jones later won Grammy Awards for his singles “Lollipops and Roses” and “Wives and Lovers.” Other hits included “The Impossible Dream,” “Lady,” “Call Me Irresponsible” and “What I Did for Love.”

Jones goes on at 8 p.m. at the McCallum, located at 73000 Fred Waring Drive. Tickets are available by calling the box office at 760-340-ARTS or visiting mccallumtheatre.com.

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. 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 877-484-9942 or 800-280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.USA-Foreclosure.com or www.Auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 7042.11305.

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

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.

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.

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 auto-matically 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 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. 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20130177900198. 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 information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Southwest Arts Festival Taps Poster Artist

A window has opened up that holds a spiritualizing event, a universal mystery. Wise people may call you to be a wise one, too. A teacher or a new study may appear. Or you learn a study presented long ago. You may travel, absorbing different cultures, ideas and philosophies. Call forth your mental faculties when presented with transcendent realms. One needs courage and fortitude when meeting the Divine. She’s called Justice.

Know that your most challenging life circumstance is also your opportunity. The more testing and the more difficult the situation, the greater the outcome. The security and stability you’ve created will call for restructuring. You have created a life in which you are insulated from others. This is based upon a fixed way of thinking that is limiting. You need to allow your heart and mind to open to new, more vital realities. Someone’s talking to you. Can you hear them?

Be especially careful with those

close to you. It’s possible you will assume ways in which you overpower them, make too many demands upon them, commanding them subtly to follow your lead. Instead cooperation is what is called for, appreciation for differences, accommodation and allowing for reciprocation. With these goals, as you cultivate a collaborative spirit goals are reached with ease and harmony. You see the true fruits of your labors.

It’s good to write down goals each day. It’s the first step to their completion. You’ll want to be effective and efficient, to move quickly through each task. As you see each goal, call for the template of harmony to calmly assist in each task and goal’s completion. Health now is your main goal. Reducing all stress and moving away from stressful people and situations is a simultaneous goal. Balance, too. All of these are blessings to be called forth.

It is a time to be creative, to bring this forth creativity within all endeavors. Watch for this. Know that using our imagination is a

creative act. Self-expression, all inventions, all art begins with the imagination. Our imaginations create visualizations — the outer manifestations of our inner creative world. It’s good to be with children. Their innocent and lively creativity triggers your own. You’re the Sun. Surya is your Vedic name.

You may need to create comfort and coziness in your environment, especially at home. It may be a sense of security and well-being that you need, a sense of deeper roots. Material possessions sometimes help with this by defining your personal sense of identity and style. It’s good to distinguish between wants and needs. They’re different, emerging from different places within your being. Beauty is a good guideline.

You work ceaselessly to achieve your goals, working hard each day to achieve success. When we’re just and fair with everyone, when we allow others to act out their behaviors without our judgments, then we (our behaviors) will be dealt with impartially, too — often with love and gratitude. As you search for truth in your life, make sure you dispense to others first the love you seek and the support you need. Be sincere. Be harmless.

It’s important to go through possessions, assets, finances and resources, assess their value and

determine what to keep and what can be given away. Attachment to anything, especially possessions, can create distress. You have a fiery temperament now in terms of communication and speech. As I’ve written before (especially in Scorpio), thoughts and words can destroy or create. You’re capable of both. Be cautious. Be kind.

A new sense of adventure, a sense of needing to explore more, has come upon you. This creates a greater sense of identity. We’re always working on identity, learning who we are, seeking to enter the Temple of Knowledge (later the Temple of Wisdom). We read the inscription above the Temple doors — to “Know Thyself.” Exploring new people, ideas, a new project, and new cultures creates a mirror for you to identify and “know thyself” more fully. The result is spontaneity, spiritualization, a sense of being a pioneer. Your shadow emerges.

You seek always to understand what lies behind apparent reality, what duality, pain, pleasure and principles guide everyone’s life. Because this information is hidden, we don’t understand each other very well. However, wanting to make a difference in the world, you seek to know what spiritual impetus guides each of us. True leaders seek these answers. You are a leader. You may not realize this yet; however, you’re in training. All that you do each day is your “training ground” for later leadership.

You have many ideas these days. In order to bring those ideas into form and matter, focus your imagination on visualizing them. This materializes your mental image. There are many who would support and cooperate and help create your success. They have the same dreams. New relationships, loves and friendships appear. They offer new ideas, concepts, sharing and happiness for you. Don’t worry. Be happy.

Notice your intensity of purpose. Many have laughed at your seriousness, not understanding your sense of responsibility and leadership to emerge in the world someday.

By Frieda NooneINDIO – The Indio Chamber

of Commerce is pleased to announce that the official poster artist for the 2014 Southwest Arts Festival has been chosen.

Nancy Egan of San Clemente and La Quinta is the 2014 Festival

Poster Artist. Her oil-on-canvas, Museumscape, is the 2014 event’s signature poster.

Celebrat ing i ts 28th anniversary, the Southwest Arts Festival will once again be held at the world-renowned Empire Polo Club in Indio on Jan. 24, 25 and

26, 2014. “My Museumscapes are

about who is looking at a piece of art — they are younger and edgier than traditional work,” said Egan, a mechanical and industrial engineer for 30 years before turning to painting full-time. Egan’s work is shown at a number of galleries, including Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano and Litchfield, Conn.

“An extraordinary array of artwork was submitted, making this year’s decision more difficult than most,” explains Joyce Donaldson, IOM, president / CEO of the Indio Chamber of Commerce. “The jury deliberated for hours to select the perfect piece that is indicative of our diverse artists and depicts the vibrancy of the Southwest Arts Festival.”

Southwest Arts Festival Posters have become coveted collector pieces. “The posters have a history with collectors dating back to 1987,” Donaldson noted.

Egan will be on hand at the official unveiling of her poster, set for Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 10:30 a.m., at the Indio Chamber offices, to personally sign 500 prints of her work.

Featuring over 250 acclaimed artists showing traditional, contemporary and abstract fine works of art and quality crafts,

the Southwest Arts Festival is a nationally recognized cultural event. The event’s reputation for first-class quality and professional integrity make it one of the finest in the country. It is the largest annual fundraiser for the Indio Chamber, which is exceptionally fortunate to have over 150 community leaders

and volunteers who contribute numerous hours to ensure the event’s success.

By Dan MarinelliGRANADA HILLS – Coming

into their inaugural season, no team in the Pacific Coast Football Conference (PCFC) could have predicted the unproven, Indio-based Desert Chiefs would compete for the conference championship.

But after steamrolling through their schedule and shocking the league, Granada Hills High School was where the undefeated Desert Chiefs found themselves last Saturday — playing for their first PCFC championship.

The PCFC title game pinned the Desert Chiefs up against the Santa Barbara-based Seminoles — a team the Desert Chiefs defeated 30-0 earlier in the season.

For the second straight game, the Desert Chiefs offense came out a bit stale. There seemed to be some play-calling confusion, causing a lot of uncharacteristically bad Brent Rausch passes.

On the other hand, the Seminoles’ offense, with an early 14-3 lead, was running like a finely tuned machine. The Seminoles current scoring surge might have been attributed to the numerous extra players they brought to Granada Hills who were not present during the teams’ first meeting in the desert.

“People do rotate jerseys around, based on different things,” said Desert Chiefs head coach Josiah Jackson of the new Seminoles players. “But their middle linebacker, Number Two, was, you know, six-foot-three and 260. The first game when they came down to play

us, Number Two was a small, skinny receiver on the outside.”

Due to early offensive miscommunication, the Desert Chiefs did not score their first touchdown until wide receiver Gaston Bailey caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Brent Rausch with a little more than a minute to play in the first half.

Despite the deficit-shrinking touchdown, the Seminoles still had what felt like a commanding 14-10 lead. The Desert Chiefs were losing by four and needed a momentum-changing play — and they got it, just seconds before the end of the half.

“The turning point was Armondo Castro’s strip, sack and fumble recovery for a touchdown late in the second quarter,” said Desert Chiefs offensive coordinator Zach Botich. “That took the momentum away from the Seminoles and gave it to the Chiefs, and we never lost the momentum on our end (after that).”

Castro’s clutch defensive play, combined with a two-point conversion reception by wide receiver Ricky Festa, put the Desert Chiefs up 18-14 at halftime.

In the second half, Brent Rausch finally settled down after seven straight quarters of shaky play. He connected with Gaston Bailey on a four-yard touchdown pass — Bailey’s second touchdown of the night. Also, late in the third quarter, Rausch aired out a 36-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Nick Lee to extend the Desert Chiefs lead to 18.

After g iv ing up 29

unanswered Desert Chiefs points, the Seminoles had little more than one quarter left to try and snatch the PCFC championship out of the hands of the Desert Chiefs.

With two late fourth quarter touchdowns, the Seminoles tried their best to make a game of it, late. Threatening to score on their final drive, down 32-26, the Seminoles needed only one score to tie and an extra point to win. Seminole quarterback Trey Nixon was quickly advancing the ball up

field until the Desert Chiefs defense came up with their second huge play of the night.

With only 37 seconds remaining in the championship game, Festa, who was playing defense on the final drive, came up with a clutch, game-ending interception that clinched a 32-26 victory — and the PCFC championship — for the Desert Chiefs.

Castro earned MVP of the game for his defensive efforts. Brent Rausch finished the game with 250-plus passing yards and three touchdowns. Coming off of last week’s minor concussion, running back Komani Harper was not a big factor, but he did intercept a ball that helped set up the Desert Chiefs’ first touchdown.

“These young men put the Chiefs on the map,” said

Rosie Welmas, owner of the Desert Chiefs and founder / CEO of the charitable organization Rosie’s Kids (rosieskids.com). “Most of my starters have never played at this level, and they played better than teams that have been playing for years.”

The Desert Chiefs advance to play the CFA champion Hollywood Stars on Nov. 30. Additionally, because they won the PCFC, the Desert Chiefs are hoping to get an invitation to the Tournament of Champions, another playoff among multiple semi-pro football conferences that crowns the best team in Southern California.

“All I can now say is, ‘I told you so,’” said Welmas. “The Coachella Valley is full of (football) talent.”

By Dan Marinelli PALM DESERT – Despite

star running back Trae Riek’s four touchdowns, the Palm Desert High School Aztecs (4-1 Desert Valley League, 5-6 overall) came up a bit short against the highly-ranked, Wildomar-based Elsinore High School Tigers (3-2 Sunbelt, 6-5 overall) in the first round of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern-Section Central Division playoffs.

Combining to score 95 points, there was no shortage of offense from either team last Friday at Palm Desert High. Yet the difference between the two run-focused teams was the Aztecs’ inability to stop the Tigers’ running game from converting on crucial third and fourth downs.

After Trae Riek caught a 20-yard touchdown reception to put the Aztecs up 7-0, Tigers’ running back Jacob Guglielmana did his best to one-up the Aztecs’ star player.

Guglielmana was responsible for three of the Tigers’ first four touchdowns on two 40-plus yard breakaways, along with — most gut-wrenching, perhaps — a 60-yard run 52 seconds before the end of the half to put the Tigers up 28-17.

“It was a big play for them,” said Aztecs head coach Pat

Blackburn of Guglielmana’s half-ending touchdown run. “We were only down by four points. But we had our chance in the second half, and then again, they broke our backs with big plays.”

At the start of the second half, the Aztecs gave up two more unanswered rushing touchdowns to Tigers quarterback Tommy Wilson and alternate running back Devon Turk-Wilson to cap a dominant 41-10 Tigers’ scoring run.

Riek did his best to keep the Aztecs in the game, adding touchdowns in the third quarter and at the start of the fourth quarter—accumulating 28 of the Aztecs’ first 31 points.

With almost a full quarter left to play, Riek’s scores left Palm Desert High School with a small glimmer of hope. Unfortunately for the Aztecs, the 41-31 score would never get any closer.

On the next two Elsinore drives, Tommy Wilson caught the entire Aztecs’ secondary sleeping and connected with Turk-Wilson for the wide-open touchdown pass. Adding insult to injury, a 60-yard touchdown run from the Tigers’ third alternate running back, Shane Pico, iced the game for the Tigers.

Aztecs senior quarterback Kyle Kabeary provided a field

goal and a rushing touchdown in the final nine minutes to make the 55-40 loss a bit more respectable.

Palm Desert’s downfall was, no doubt, their rushing defense — allowing an astonishing 592 yards, the most they allowed all season.

Guglielmana finished the game with 312 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Shane Pico added another 209 yards rushing and one touchdown.

“Once (Elsinore’s running backs) got to the second level, we didn’t make the tackles,” said Coach Blackburn.

To go along with his four

touchdowns, Riek finished his final game as an Aztec with 183 yards rushing — almost 20 yards higher than his season average. Kabeary added two field goals to go along with his 180 passing and 52 rushing yards.

“That’s come to be an average performance for (Riek),” said Coach Blackburn. “He ended up with 32 touchdowns on the season. (Riek) and Kyle, along with our offensive line — we threw

another 40 points on the board. Those guys are just doing what everybody’s come to expect.”

The Aztecs finished the 13-14 season as co-champions of the Desert Valley League with a record of 4-1 — their best league record since the 07-08 season.

“It’s a tough way to go out,” said Coach Blackburn. “We need to focus on the positives this season. I thank the seniors for taking us places that our program hasn’t been since 2005 with the DVL championship; they need to be proud of their accomplishments.”
