BURNEY, Calif. (AP) - Thunderstorms that brought light rain and increased humidity to Northern California helped fire crews make progress Tuesday against two wildfires that were threatening hundreds of homes, but also raised the possibility of new lightning-sparked blazes in the region.

The two fires were burning

in the Lassen National Forest. The smaller of the two was within sight of the small Shasta County town of Burney, though officials said it remained about 4 miles away after showing almost no growth overnight.

The small town of 3,000 was filled with smoke from the blaze, but businesses were open as usual. Flames at the top of a

British Comedy Scores High Marks In “Quartet”By Jack LyonsTheatre and Film Critic

No matter how famous one thinks they are it always comes as a shock when they discover that they can no longer perform whatever they did to make them famous in the first place. The spirit is always willing it’s the aging flesh and vocal cords that hammer home that epiphany in the current production now treading the boards on the Sheryl and Harvey White Stage at the Old Globe in Balboa Park.

P l a ywr i gh t Rona ld Harwood’s de l ight fu l l y charming comedy “Quartet” is playfully and zestfully directed by Richard Seer. The play’s core story of four aging grand opera singers who now reside in an English country home for retired musicians, simply stated, must make a decision: one to get along with one another and two to perform for their fellow residents a concert they promised when they first arrived a year ago.

Harwood’s deliciously sly comedy features four meaty roles for actors of a “certain age”, and those roles are filled by four actors who perform as though they were born for their parts: Old Globe favorite Robert Foxworth plays shy and introverted Reginald Paget, a fussy, classically trained singer, of the old school who bristles at the suggestive shenanigans and randy language of Wilfred Bond, portrayed by Roger Forbes who fancies himself as the retirement home lothario.

Jill Tanner as Cecily Robson is oblivious to the sexual blandishments of Wilfred, mainly because she wears headsets while listening to the music of their old operas every time Wilfred’s randiness gets the better of him. She is bubbly Miss Optimism, the rest of the time. Elizabeth Franz

portrays Jean Horton, the imperious grand dame of the opera world and the ex-wife of Reggie. When these “Three Musketeers” learn that Jean will be moving in as a permanent resident, all eyes and attention turn toward Reggie, who refuses to talk about the situation.

Foxworth is a character actor with a wonderful range. I fondly remember his Henry Drummond portrayal in “Inherit the Wind” at San Diego’s Old Globe, and his performances as Lyman Wyeth in “Other Desert Cities”, at the Taper and again at the Old Globe, among many others.

Roger Forbes makes his Old Globe debut with “Quartet”. After a distinguished 40 year career performing on stages in England and America, he is more than ready for his Globe debut. I suspect he’s performed a zillion of Alan

Ackybourn’s comedies along the way. His Wilfred Bond portrayal is bawdy but harmless, much like like a favorite lap dog whose bark is worse than his bite (and most of the women residents know it).

Elizabeth Franz who plays the imperious Jean Horton is as regal-looking as one would expect of a Diva of the opera. Demanding to a fault, even irritating to others, but if one looks a little deeper, one would find a very vulnerable and frightened lady who can’t come to grips with her retirement and thwarts all efforts of help.

The creative team led by director Seer has his A-team

working on this production. Set Design wizard Ralph Funicello places everyone in a proper-looking English retirement home. The only element missing would be the presence of the late great character actor Joyce Grenfell as the kooky lady in charge of the home. York Kennedy’s lighting and Christopher R. Walker’s sound design, along with costumes by Charlotte Devaux are first-rate contributors to a solid comedy production that has more than a few poignant messages to deliver along the way. On leaving the theatre, I overheard two couples saying, “this was so much better than

the movie.” The decision to present the play in the round on the intimate White Stage was a wise choice.

Speculating that 90 percent of the opening night audience is receiving Social Security benefits, I feel safe in saying this comedy is definitely a lock when it comes to appealing to seniors. But I wouldn’t rule out the younger set from enjoying the state of affairs the characters find themselves in. After all, retirement is a destination we’re heading toward, like it or not.

“Quartet” runs through August 24, 2014.

Charitable Giving – A Great way to cut Taxation

HOA Homefront – Open Board Meetings

By Janice GoughCoachella Valley is the

largest hub of philanthropic organizations in the Country.

I have listed some ways that you may take advantage of tax savings while gifting to those you care about. You may want to gift up to $14,000 a year in cash or assets to as many people that you want. You may like to gift an unlimited amount in medical and educational expenses for another person as long as you gift directly to the institutions where the expenses occurred.

Charitable gift funds, which are offered by Vanguard, Fidelity and others, permit you to take a tax-deductible donation, grow your investment tax- free, and direct a contribution in your name to any non-profit of your choice at any time.

Contributions to 529 Plans College Savings plans for beneficiaries are treated as gifts. Each spouse can gift up to $70,000, which is treated as if you were gifting $14,000

over five years. You cannot gift more money to that individual during that 5-year period, without deducting from your personal lifetime exemption of $5,250,000.

The benefit of Life insurance can be used in coordination with a donation, in which it can triple the proceeds of the gift at donor’s death.

The charitable remainder trusts to enable your heirs to collect income and a charity receives the principal upon your death, whereas a charitable lead trust the charity receives the income, and the beneficiaries receive the principal.

There are new regulations passed by the House of Representat ives, which expands brand new options for charitable giving. The act comprises five provisions. It would make permanent three expired tax extenders:

• The IRA charitable rollover, which allows individuals at least 70-1/2 years old to make tax-free charitable donations up to $100,000 from Individual Retirement Accounts

• The enhanced deduction for donating land conservation easements, which allows land owners to reduce their taxable income by giving up development rights to their property for purposes of preserving natural resources.

• The enhanced deduction for donating food inventory, which allows individuals and organizations to reduce their taxable income by providing qualifying food inventory to certain charitable organizations.

In addition, the legislation would allow private foundations to reduce the excise tax on net investment income from the current 2% to 1% in any year in which they exceed their average

historical level of charitable donation.

It would also extend through April 15th,, individual taxpayers’ deadline for claiming charitable donations on the previous year’s tax filing.

Part of your financial plan should consider some of these ways to save on taxation.

Thank you to all the donors and philanthropists in our valley who have been generously gifted at organizations that have helped us all.

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCALDear Kelly: I am the president of a small HOA. Some of the board members feel that it is ok to meet without calling a board meeting. They say that this has been the practice in the past. When should board meetings be called? Is there any hard and fast rule? I want the board’s action to be open.B.E., San Pedro

Dear B.E.: Many volunteers in associations view the Open Meeting Act (Civil Code 4900-4955) as a nuisance. If a quorum of the board is discussing ANY association business, in person, telephonically, or in e-mails, that is a “board meeting” under the law, and the Open Meeting Act must be followed. There are some items which can and should be discussed in closed session (see below). Conducting board business in meetings is important not only for legal compliance but also to preserve the trust of your neighbors. Otherwise, such decisions are arguably not corporate actions but are the actions of you directors personally – exposing you all to personal liability.

Encourage your neighbors to work with you to govern properly. It’s well worth it on many levels.Thanks for your question, Kelly

Mr. Richardson:I am on the board of our HOA and keep reminding our President that she cannot do business outside of a board meeting. She is of the opinion that the Treasurer and she can form the year’s budget without the rest of the Board’s input.Could you give me your opinion on these matters? A.P., Newhall

Dear A.P.:Boards act in board meetings. Until the board, in a meeting, approves the budget, it isn’t the budget, but is only the recommendation of those two directors. Seeking input from the rest of the board is not just a good idea, it is required. Furthermore, budget discussions by the board should occur in a board meeting, with members able to observe - you are talking about their money.Best regards, Kelly

Kelly Richardson:We attended two board meetings because of a car illegally towed by the association and we were asking for reimbursement. The board tabled the discussion and continued it to the next meeting so they could review the documentation we provided. At the next meeting, the board announced they would reimburse my towing charges, and it appeared the board had already discussed and decided it at a closed meeting.Can a Homeowners Association board have a closed meeting? If so, are there limits? Is the board required to discuss the closed doors items at the open board meetings? Sincerely C.S., Orange

Dear C.S.:Closed meetings are authorized by the Open Meeting Act for certain narrow topics defined by Civil Code 4935. Closed session is an important tool for that small group of subjects which need to be discussed privately for confidentiality

reasons. Those topics are: Member disciplinary or common area damage reimbursement hearings, personnel (not vendor) matters, litigation (including litigation risk), contract formation (i.e., negotiating the terms of a contract) assessment lien foreclosure votes, and discussions of payment plans proposed by del inquent members. It is important that at the next open meeting (which could be the same day, If the board has closed session before its open session), the board note generally what transpired in the previous closed session, without identifying the homeowner or the specifics of the action.Best regards, Kelly

by Lois Anne DeLong is a play dealing with the issue of sexual harassment in the school system, one of the most common forms of bullying.

Rancho Mirage, CA. – Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Ron Celona has announced the 2014-2015 Season Children’s Outreach Production. The

play being produced this Fall in CVRep’s intimate 86-seat theater, is the sixth Children’s Outreach Production the theatre group has done for the children of the Coachella Valley.

reports: “Sexual harassment is common at every stage of education. Verbal and physical harassment begins in elementary school, and 4 out of 5 children experience some form of sexual harassment or bullying. Eight out of 10 will experience this at some point in their school lives, and roughly 25 percent will experience this often. Boys are more likely to physically harass and bully others, or to be physically bullied themselves. Girls are more likely to use,

and experience, verbal and psychological harassment and bullying. Six out of 10 students will experience some form of physical sexual harassment.”

Amphibious transport dock ships are warships that embark, transport, and land elements of a landing force for a variety of expeditionary warfare missions.

These ships support amphibious assault, special operations or expeditionary warfare missions and can serve as secondary aviation platforms for amphibious ready groups. Approximately, 28 officers, 333

enlisted men and women and 3 Marines make up the ship’s company, which keeps all parts of the ship running smoothly -- this includes everything from washing dishes and preparing meals to handling weaponry and maintaining the engines. “A ship is but a steel vessel; it is the crew that brings a ship to life. USS Somerset is truly a fine warship and this crew that

mans her is second to none. The Sailors and Marines of

Somerset have been working diligently to prepare this war ship. Through our service in the United States Navy, we will strive to honor those who have sacrificed so much to preserve the freedoms we cherish today,” said Capt. Thomas L. Dearborn, the ship’s commanding officer. (U.S. Navy photo by Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist Gary Ward/Released)

By Art KunkinMr. Life Extension

These four simple statements are powerful tools you can use every day of your life – for improving your relationships, for living and for facing death.

In his powerful book, “The Four Things That Matter Most,” medical doctor Ira Bylock explains why he has taught severely ill patients in emergency rooms and hospices to say these Four Things. But Dr. Bylock then goes on to say that he has learned these Four Things also apply at any time. these eleven words, these four short sentences, carry the core wisdom of what Dr. Bylocks’s dying patients have taught him about what matters most in life.

His powerful words deserve direct quotation. “Ask a man who

is being wheeled into transplant surgery or a woman facing chemo-therapy for the third time what’s on his or her mind and the answer will always involve the people they love. Always!

“The specter of death reveals our relationships to be our most precious possession. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve met people in my office, an emergency room or a hospice program who have expressed deep regret over things they wish they had said before a grandparent, parent, sibling or friend died.

“They can’t change what was but without fail their regrets have fueled a healthy resolve to say what needs to be said before it’s too late – to clear away hurt feelings, to connect in profound ways with the people who mean the most to them.

“Everyone knows that all relationships, even the most loving, have occasional rough spots. We assume we know that the people we love know that we love them, even if we’ve had our disagreements and tense moments. Yet when someone we know dies suddenly, we often have gnawing doubts.

“We are all sons and daughters, whether we are six years of age of niney-six. Even

the most loving parent-child relationship can feel forever incomplete if your mother or father dies without having explicitly expressed affection for you or without having acknowledged past tensions. I’ve learned from my patients and their families about the painful regret that comes from not speaking these most basic feelings. Again and again, I’ve witnessed the value of stating the obvious. When you love somene, it is never too soon to say “I love you,” or premature to say “Thank you,” “I forgive you,” or “Will you please forgive me?” When there is nothing of profound importance left unsaid, relationships tend to take on an aspect of celebration, as they should.

“It’s been said that life is a sexually transmitted condition with a terminal prognosis. Having worked for years in close proximity with death, I have come to understand viscerally that we live every moment on the brink. We are, each one of us, at every moment, a heartbeat away from death. Seen against the backdrop of our certain mortality, our differences are dwarfed by our commonality – and the importance we hold for one another.

“The stories in ‘The Four Things That Matter Most’ are drawn from the experiences of people who have stood at death’s door, and from their loved ones

who learned to use the Four Things in their own daily lives. These stories inspire us to open to the potential for emotional wholeness at any moment of our lives – even in our most troubled relatonships...

“The word ‘good-bye’ derives from “God be with you,” a blessing that was traditionally given at parting and, in some churches, still is. The protection and God’s help of presence and guidance can be requested whether two people expect to be separated a few hours or forever. In leaving nothing unsaid, we can recapture this original meaning, so that, in saying good-bye, we are actually blessing each other in our daily interactions as well as when we face major life challlenges or crises. It only takes a moment to shift the way you say good-bye from a reflex to a conscious practice. Your good-bye and your blessing can become treasured gifts to other people as you part.”

I have come to the end of the space for this column so I will say good-bye to all of you wonderful people until next week’s issue of this newspaper. Please locate Dr. Bylock’s book if you want to experience more of the wisdom of this very wise man. You could ask your public library to get and shelve this one.

Fantasy Rules on Stage and Screen f i l m By Theda Kleinhans Reichman

Attention rock music fans, do you dig Freddie Mercury and the sounds of Queen? If the answer is “YES!” come to the Ahmanson where “We Will Rock You” is partying on. The theatrical rock musical, based on the songs written by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon , except for “Under Pressure” which was written by Queen and David Bowie, runs through August 24. The story and script are by Ben Elton. Brian Justin Crum and Ruby Lewis star as the two young rock lovers Galileo and Scaramouche respectively.

The frothy, flimsy story is set in the not too distant future. Horror of horrors, Killer Queen (Jacqueline B. Arnold) is a music media mogul who has banned all rock music from the earth. Now kids can only swing to the sounds of sappy elevator music. But two young rebels refuse to conform and set out to find the music that Galileo dreams about. He is certain it exists—somewhere out there.

Even if you’ve never heard of “I Want to Break Free,” “No One But You,” or “Who Wants to Live Forever,” you will recognize the sounds, of “We Will Rock You”

and the sports fan favorite, “We Are the Champions.”

On opening night the

audience roared and waved light sticks of green and lavender (provided by the theatre that

evening.) The music rocks and the ensemble cast knows how to sing it. The vibe created is infectious.

You can pick your exact seat on-line at CenterTheatrGroup.org/Rock You or call (213) 972-4400.

••••••••••••••If you are a comic book fan

you will marvel at Marvel Comics fun fantasy film “Guardians of the Galaxy,” directed and co-written by James Gunn. It was brought to the screen for $170 million, but probably earned it back in its first week because like “Star Wars” before it, it’s funny, fast-paced and filled with wild and crazy characters that include three human looking types as well as a gun toting raccoon named Rocket (voiced with zest and spunk by Bradley Cooper) whose sidekick is a tall talking tree named Groot (Vin Diesel who also was the voice for “The Iron Giant” a great animated film from yesteryear). Groot has a limited vocabulary of three words—”I AM GROOT,” which he uses to convey all sorts of emotions. And while the human-like galaxy dwellers are interesting, the raccoon and tree kinda steal the show.

As the story begins, a young boy is beamed up onto a space ship and taken to a galaxy far, far away. His most prized possession is a home-made music tape his mother made for him with the songs of the 70s that she loved. Next we fast forward to the future. It’s 26 years later, and the little boy is now a young man named Peter Quill (played with comedic charm and

attitude by Chris Pratt (TVs “Parks and Recreation”). He works for a group of intergalactic plunderers and calls himself Star Lord which doesn’t impress the countless interplanetary types he runs into as he seeks to find a powerful orb that all sorts of folks want to get their hands on, including the villain of the piece, an evil dude named Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace).

Add Zoe Saldana to the cast as Gamora, the deadliest gal in the galaxy who is green, not blue as she was in “Avatar” and a multi tattooed brute named Drax the Destroyer (former WWE wrestling champion Dave Bautista). Due to circumstances beyond their control, the soon to be “Guardians of the Galaxy” all wind up in an outer-space prison as evil forces controlled by Ronan seek to get their hands on the powerful, coveted orb. Mutual distrust and dislike eventually evaporate as the future guardians to be forced to work together in order to escape.

There are all sorts of special effects, intergalactic battles and high jinks, but what makes the movie work is the humor. The plot is confusing at first as we find ourselves all over the planets, however, things come into comic book focus eventually as this odd intergalactic group morphs into the “Guardians of the Galaxy.” And as the story ends we know there will be a sequel in the not too distant future.

“Guardians of the Galaxy” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and for some language. Running time is two hours and two minutes.Ruby Lewis and Brian Justin Crum in the national tour of Queen and Ben Elton’s “We Will Rock You”

Humidity helps crews fighting California Wildfires

Do you feel as if you’re on a cross, divided intensely between four ways, standing in the middle wondering which paths to conquer next? There are some past issues that need tending and bring to a close before you will know how to proceed. They are being illumined for you now so look around, assess, ponder, pray and have the intention to complete all things unfinished. Then the next page of your life turns.

Keep going into the future even though many pressures pull you back. The new realities must be brought forth and they are to be done through each of the signs. You being Taurus have the illumination needed for others to understand just what plans and purposes the future will bring. You have a model to construct, things to build, expansions to bring forth so that others will be saved. The God of the waters will help.

Truly you’re experiencing much duality; a confusing here and there-ness unless you stand directly at center. Why? So you can see both sides, so you don’t choose yet (observe instead), so you can understand how to create triangle of synthesis. There are two paths outlined

for you. Which path is revealed through revelation hints, and symbols. Ponder upon, draw and visualize the following – the seven pointed, six pointed, five pointed stars, a triangle and the Cross. Combine them.A duality is being presented to

you in terms of your religious or spiritual practices. Perhaps there’s a fusion occurring between what you were taught and what you know or seek now. Are money concerns of concern? Past practices must give way to new banking practices. Is your communication sharp, harsh, possibly critical? Careful. You may not realize your tone of impatience. The homeopath Aconite neutralizes impatience (an excess of electrical energy). Stay out of rainstorms.Tend carefully to finances; ask for

assistance if puzzled, embrace the future by banking locally and investing money in tangibles and goods that will sustain you for two years. Plan on others joining you. Remember the animals and their needs, too. Past memories may appear. It’s good to ask, “Did I love enough?” If not, there’s still time. A group offers two suggestions. Relationships fall sideways.

There may be some ongoing self-criticism and your heartaches with these beliefs. It’s important to know these critical thoughts are not true. They’re simply old remnants from childhood. It’s good to turn toward words of praise creating a journal of true identity focusing upon self-praising while identifying gifts and abilities. This neutralizes mental and emotional illusions and distortions. Chiron, Neptune & Jupiter are attempting to purify all maya.

S o m e t h i n g p ro f o u n d , transformative, different and new will occur to your home situation or perhaps it’s the foundations from which you live your life where the changes will occur. By autumn you’ll know what these are. In the meantime so much has shifted about with work and your professional life. Are you feeling somewhat out to sea? Are you doing what you love to do? Do you know what this is? Are you thinking about and able to travel? Tend with care and kindness to all relationships. They sustain, nourish and fortify you.

As your home life tumbles and bobs about here and there (expansion then wounding then a sense of dissolving) you could feel a bit of despair along with exhilaration. Both are occurring

along with a shift of friends (are you feeling somewhat alone?) and new information coming in about work and your professional life. Tend to money carefully. No excess expenditures on baubles. Things in matter are disappearing quickly. Do you have emergency supplies?

It’s time for something new in terms of relationships. It’s also time to travel somewhere you’ve been before to assess it with new eyes. Do be aware of how much work you’ve done, how hard and where you are today. In the next seven years your usual ways of thinking and interpreting will change into a profoundly new way of assessing the world. Your creativity alters too. Some of this is already occurring. As you hover forever at the razor’s edge, inch closer to the middle.

Money. You stand between two themes. You have enough. You don’t have enough. In between is a wound. Perhaps you grew up with very little or perhaps with enough too much money. Either gave you a certain lens concerning money. But here we are today and all around us the monetary world as we’ve known it is collapsing. Don’t fret or be fearful. From the ashes emerge great opportunities. Ponder upon gifts and recognition of resources. What must you

do now? You’ll come to true answers.

There is and will be a breaking away from your usual ways of being. What’s normal will be upside down giving you time to assess who you are, what you value about yourself and how you would like to change. Increased social interactions lead to increased social successes. You are accomplishing life’s tasks on your own, in your own timing and rules. This is good. Finally you had the freedom to step into your dreams. Remain there.

Things feel very complex. And so you’re in a state of solitude and all your expectations are surfacing, providing information previously not known. Clearly you see that disappointments and sadnesses, those that lead to despair, are/were based upon unrealized hopes, dreams and wishes. These were not incorrect. Now you are aware of them. What will you do next? This question isn’t answerable yet. Keep observing and defining yourself.Risa D’Angeles is the founder and director of the Esoteric & Astrological Studies Research Institute: nightlifenews.com or, on Facebook, Risa’s Esoteric Astrology.

other and expanded ferociously through drought-killed or weakened trees and brush. The Bald Fire was sparked by

lightning, but it’s unclear what ignited the Eiler blaze near Burney.

The summer wildfires

didn’t come as a surprise. Fire officials had been warning of dangerous conditions because of the drought. But the speed and fury of the Eiler Fire was disconcerting and terrifying,

some evacuees said Monday at a shelter set up at a local school.

“Trees were just exploding,” said Dennis Hoffman, who left the community of Cassel last week as flames roared through forests on either side of his home. “It was like a big monster - just unbelievable, how bad it was.”

More than a dozen wildfires are burning in the state.

Elsewhere in the West:- Cooler temperatures

and scattered showers helped firefighters hold the line on the Oregon Gulch fire in the Siskiyou Mountains straddling

the Oregon-California border. The fire remains at 57 square miles and is 30 percent contained.

- Residents of 14 homes near Leavenworth, Washington, have been advised to evacuate while crews keep a wary eye on winds near the 65-acre Hansel Fire. Crews in Washington were also worried the Duncan Fire outside of Entiat could grow. The Hansel and Duncan fires are part of the Chiwaukum complex that has covered about 26 square miles.

P.S. Aerial tramway Hits High Note

By Pamela PriceExclusive to the Desert Star Weekly

Legendary and long alpenhorns were in concert at the residence of Swiss Consul General Jean-Francois Lichtenstern on August 1, at that country’s consular residence in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park. The Consul General greeted 300 guests to the annual Swiss National Day celebration, but this year, there was something different thanks to Greg Purdy communications manager of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. “ This event was a diplomatic

success on many levels!” said Ali M. Banki, a Tram fan. Arriving guests were

surprised to see an 8 x 10 ft panoramic display of the San Jacinto mountains dominated by a rotating aerial tram captured in a gigantic photograph. Purdy told guests that Palm Springs shared a link with Switzerland since their mighty aerial tram was manufactured in their homeland. “The Tram is an international destination, with spectacular views from the second highest point in southern California ( elev. 10,834 ‘) and welcomes guests from around the world

with world-class facilities, from dining to camping and hiking,” he said.

Of course, this was a hit with guests, especially when Consul General Lichtenstern announced that two tickets to the tram would be awarded to the holders of the winning ticket. Additionally, announced was the opening of Switzerland Tourism’s new office in Santa Monica, CA and various cultural events such as 4th annual The Los Angeles Swiss Film Festival at the Harmony Gold Theatre slated for September 7th.

Amidst a menu of Swiss

specialties, including plum and apricot cake accompanied by bowls of fresh whipped cream and platters of Swiss cheese ( of course), guests were brought up to date on Swiss cultural events. The Palm Springs International Film Festival counts Switzerland as one of its sponsors.

Greg Purdy conversed with guests while providing tram information in nine languages. “The Tram just celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013,” said Purdy as he reminded arriving guests to expect “14,000 acres of pristine wilderness area with more than 54-miles of hiking trails that bears a strong resemblance to the Swiss Alps. Taking the Tram reveals the

magnificent Nature Trail, the fern lined Alpine meadow and the breathtaking view from Wellman’s Divide.”

For those of Swiss heritage, this day is as important to them as the Fourth of July is to Americans. Consul General Lichtenstern concluded his address by telling guests of his recent visit to the Tram and his vivid impressions of Mount San Jacinto, the spectacular views and his appreciation for Mr. Purdy for participating in the 2014 Swiss National Day event.

Toto, Michael McDonald Where: Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio When: Saturday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. ticket information: 800-827-2946 or www.totoofficial.com. 

More than 35 years after making a lasting commercial impact with the band’s eponymous 1978 album, Toto likely surprised plenty of industry observers with the release of “35th Anniversary - Live in Poland” that reached the top of the music DVD sales charts around the globe earlier this year.

Toto’s resurgence has also came as a surprise to Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, part of the group of students who met at Grant High School in Van Nuys, CA and went on to form the band in 1977.

“I can’t believe the thing entered #1 in the United States and Germany and the Netherlands and all over the world - it’s just crazy,” admitted Lukather, when asked about the success of Toto’s aptly-titled ‘35th Anniversary - Live in Poland’ DVD/Blu-ray release that came out in late April. “We’re laughing, ‘Come on, is this an April Fools’ joke?’ Because we’re the least hyped band ever. We’re the opposite.”

Toto’s “35th Anniversary - Live in Poland” did indeed debut at #1 in the U.S., Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland and Sweden, and charted at #2 in the United Kingdom, France and Canada. Toto will bring their parade of hits and impressive virtuoso chops to the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio on Saturday night, Aug. 9.

“We never thought that in

a million years, we’d be looking at almost 40-year man. First off, where did the time go? We’re still here, we’re still healthy and we’re okay,” said Lukather of Toto, whose lineup also includes original members David Paich (lead vocals, keyboards), Steve Porcaro (keyboards) and long-time lead vocalist Joseph Williams.

“Those of us who are still healthy, I think that’s the greatest commodity one can have at this point. I mean it’s scary; a lot of my friends are down. (Original bassist) Mike Porcaro, that’s the reason why we sort of reconvened (in 2010) to help brother Mikey. He got ALS (amytrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig’s

disease), and he’s lying in a bed...We help out the family, we help out our brother; he would do it for me. That’s basically a little more bittersweet, do you know what I mean? Mikey standing next to me on stage, he’s my bro., But we help the family, and we do what we do, and we keep the music alive. There’s really not much more we can do.”

While Toto’s current tour is focusing on material such as “Rosanna,” “Africa” and “Hold the Line” on the top-selling “Live in Poland,”Toto is nearing completion on its next studio album, the first since 2006’s “Falling in Between.”

“We’re a lmost done recording. We’re going to start mixing…It’s going to surprise a lot of people. It does not sound like a bunch of old guys phoning it in for a check, you know. It’s a really true Toto record.”

As a tribute to Mike Porcaro, a number of celebrated bass players are involved in the project. During the July 24, 2014 phone interview, Lukather revealed that David Hungate, Toto’s original bassist who was with the band from 1977 to 1982, was coming into the studio in late July to record some tracks.

“So everything is moving along quite positively. Our 14th record - here we go.”

No chat with Lukather would be complete without getting the celebrated guitarist (whose credits include recording with everybody from Michael Jackson to Eddie Van Halen) to discuss his membership in Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band since 2012.

“I have to say its been a highlight of my career being with Ringo, and we’ve become really great friends and I love everyone

in the band and we get on so great. And the band has gotten so much better than a few years ago,” Lukather said.

Imagine Lukather’s thrill at being invited to join Frampton, musical director Don Wash and others at the Los Angeles Convention Center at the beginning of 2014 for “The Night That Changed America: A GRAMMY Salute To The Beatles,” a CBS-TV special featuring not only Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, but Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and John Legend. After all, Lukather was a 7-year-old youngster that was inspired to play guitar after hearing George Harrison’s solo,

on “I Saw Her Standing There.”“The surreality of it was

when I was standing there right before we all went on stage to film the show - there’s Paul, there’s Ringo, we were all talking backstage …a bunch of us guys standing around with Paul and Ringo, and I go, ‘You two guys are the reason that we are all here. All of us.’ And Paul was very sweet, ‘We get that a lot.’ They never talk about that; they don’t carry themselves like that even though they are the most important musicians of the past 50 years…they’re still the litmus test upon which everything stands.”

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On August 26, 2014 at 10:00 AM, RSM&A Foreclosure Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded July 30, 2010 as Docu-ment Number: 2010-0357932 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Riverside County, California, executed by: VINCENT ALGOOD, A SINGLE MAN as Trustor, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., solely as nominee for Urban Financial Group, as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at time of sale in lawful mon-ey of the United States, by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state) at the following loca-tion: In front of the Corona Civic Center, located at 849 W. Sixth Street, Corona., all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County, California describing the land therein: Legal description as more fully described in said deed of trust. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 14777 Palm Drive, SPC 121, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $49,566.48 (Estimated*) *Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. 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 the property itself. Plac-ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear owner-ship 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 (714) 277-4845 or visit this Internet Web Site www.usa-foreclosure.com, using the file number, 14CA00207-1, assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said 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.

By KMIR News StaffRIVERSIDE COUNTY

-A Riverside County public health official said today there is ``no immediate risk’’ of an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus locally. ``Obviously we know with global travel, there’s a possibility someone could travel to a country with the disease ... and come back with it,’’ county Department of Public Health Communicable Diseases Specialist Barbara Cole told City News Service.

Concern is growing about the arrival of the virus in the United States as two American aid workers with the deadly virus are being flown from Africa, where they caught it, to Atlanta to be hospitalized. Cole said there is a county public health employee available for health practitioners to call around the

clock, and a rapid response team that can be dispatched.

If a health practitioner reported a suspicion of a disease like Ebola, the county would provide guidance on what kind of control measures and protective equipment would be needed and have a specimen tested. They would also assess who had direct contact with a possibly infected person and if the person had symptoms.

She said the CDC is the best source for information about disease-related travel precautions. Ebola has killed more than 700 people in Western Africa, and is usually spread by direct contact with bodily fluids.

Ronn and Jann Hobbs join Christian Center of DHSStory and Photos by Rochelle Esser

On June 1st; Christian Center of Desert Hot Springs installed Pastor Ronn Hobbs as its new Lead Pastor. Pastor Ronn began leading services June 8th officially, but gave a preview of his vision for the church before his installation.

Pastor Ronn said his vision for Christian Center of Desert Hot Springs, is to be “A People prepared for a Purpose in This Place.” On June 8th, which was Pentecost Sunday, he amended his vision to say, “A People Prepared WITH HIS (God’s) POWER for a Purpose in This Place (Ephesians 4:11-16).” The congregation is in anticipation of all Pastor Ronn and his wife Jann had planned for them.

Previous Senior Pastor, Rev. Gary Geesey retired after 12 years of service, and Dr. Tony Cervero; Assistant Superintendent of the SoCal

Network Assemblies of God, who installed Pastor Ronn and Jann, said that the seed that Pastor Gary and his wife Charlotte planted. Pastor Ronn and Jann will grow in a mighty way.

“I found when coming to the church that Pastor Geesey and interim pastor Paul Grasser had nurtured a wonderful family atmosphere. Christian Center is a warm, loving, and accepting family,” Pastor Ronn said.

“We’re taking the summer season to get to know the church’s place in the community and to commit to a time of prayer to see how God would lead us to minister to the city. We’d like to help the city in its’ endeavors to make Desert Hot Springs a great place to live,” Pastor Ronn continues.

For the last nine months between Pastor Gary and Pastor Ronn, Interim Pastor Paul Grasser and his wife, Norma has

been filling in the gap. Pastor Paul and Norma, are also the Directors of the SoCal Network 2nd Half Ministries, Southern California; a ministry for people who are 50 years of age and above. The Grasser’s received a farewell sendoff on May 25th.

Pastor Ronn holds a Bachelor of Arts in music from Cal State Long Beach, completed ministerial studies in the Assemblies of God Global University, and is currently finishing his final project after completing courses in the Master of Theological Studies program at Vanguard University, in Costa Mesa, CA; Jann graduated from Vanguard University with a major in English Literature, and minor in Theater. Ronn and Jann relocated from a church in Northern California. The Geesey’s, Grassers, and Hobbs have become friends over the years.

PALM SPRINGS, CA – An aspiring athlete’s biggest fear is suffering a career-ending injury.

When Palm Springs POWER first baseman and pitcher Mitch Bluman finished his sophomore season at San Diego State University, he was looking to become a serious contributor the following year.

In the winter prior to the 2013 Mountain West Conference season, however, Mitch suffered an injury that changed the Southern California native’s baseball future, indefinitely.

“My junior year I was pitching in a winter league game and I came down awkwardly,” Bluman said. “My leg stuck in the ground, I turned, and I felt everything just slip out of place.”

The San Diego State Aztec suffered a herniated disc, and to severely complicate the situation, the disc was jammed into the sciatic nerve – the longest nerve in the human body, stretching from the lower back to the top of the foot.

“I couldn’t get in and out of a car, I couldn’t do anything,” he said. “It felt like someone was jabbing a knife from my ankle to my back. My whole right leg was dead.”

Instead of opting for surgery and spending significant time rehabbing, Mitch chose a heavy dose of various medications, painkillers, corticosteroids and even an epidural shot to help ease the pain through his junior season.

His discomfort slightly diminished, but was reduced to only 2.1 innings pitched, and

44 plate appearances for an Aztecs team that made it all the way to the College World Series Regional Finals.

In the first Aztec’s practice of Bluman’s senior offseason, his body would suffer another blow that would cause him to redshirt the 2014 season.

“I bent down, and the (epidural) shot, all the stuff that was keeping it numb, broke up,” he said. “Instantly, the pain was

back and more severe. I knew it was time to get it fixed, I knew I was eventually going to have surgery.”

The El Camino Real High School alum needed a Laminectomy, a procedure that involves filing down the protruding vertebrae until it is no longer lodged in the nerve. With what he had been through, it was not hard to rationalize having the surgery.

“I didn’t want to take a chance at it getting worse, and risk losing the ability to walk because I was gimping around campus for a whole year,” Bluman said. “Either spend the next six months to a year being the same, or spend the next six months to a year getting better, and getting ready for year of healthy baseball.”

Init ial ly, his doctors anticipated a nine-month recovery period, November to July. With hard work, determination, perseverance and an excellent rehab program, the Woodland Hills, CA native was throwing and working out just five months after his operation.

“The first two months after were spent not doing anything, just laying in bed, trying to recover,” Bluman said. “(Rehab) started off with real basic stuff. Just lying down on a table, flexing my core. It felt ridiculous at first but it’s a long process, and if you stick to it, and it pays off.”

His inevitable surgery did pay off in the grand scheme, but despite the speedy recuperation, Bluman was still forced to sit out his entire senior season.

Due to Mitch’s expedited recovery, the San Diego State coaches suggested that playing for the POWER this summer would help prepare him for his final season of eligibility as an Aztec.

This year, the POWER lefty has a 1-1 record, with a 2.35 ERA in 23 innings pitched. Offensively, he is batting .222, including a double, and 4 RBIs in 18 at-bats

To maintain game shape over summer, Bluman has been working out on a daily basis, making it easy for POWER head Coach Harry Gurley to platoon him at first base, and pitch for the SCCBL’s first-place team.

The Aztec admits that he is roughly 75 percent of what he used to be, and has not yet regained his pre-injury stamina, at least from the mound.

“I can’t throw as many innings as I used to,” the POWER pitcher said. “If I throw five innings, I feel like I went 20 rounds with Mike Tyson.”

He may not be back to full strength, but Mitch is vastly benefiting from pitching in game situations and hitting live pitching with the Palm Springs club.

Had it not been for the POWER organization’s willingness to take a risk, Bluman would have entered fall practice less prepared then the Aztec teammates he will competing against for a starting spot.

“They really gave me a chance, where as most places would not even bother,” he said. “Harry has been nothing but helpful for me, (Andrew) Starke, as well. They knew I was going to have some bumps and bruises, some ups and downs, and they have still stuck with me.”

After this summer, Mitch’s plan is to head back to San Diego, relax and prepare for the upcoming 2015 season. After the last year and a half, relaxation should be at the top of his list.
