By Desert Star StaffLEMOORE, Calif. – A

1997 Palm Desert High School graduate and Palm Desert, California native is currently serving with the U.S. Navy’s Strike Fighter Squadron Fourteen, also known as the “Tophatters”, at Naval Air Station Lemoore in California.

Ch ie f Pet ty Of f i ce r Joseph Dobbins is an aviation ordnanceman with the squadron, which the Navy designates as VFA-14, and works with the Navy’s most lethal and versatile strike fighter aircraft, the F/A-18E Super Hornet.

“I maintain the F/A-18 Super Hornet’s weapons system by uploading and downloading

weapons,” said Dobbins.The Super Hornet takes

off from and lands on Navy aircraft carriers and is capable of conducting air-to-air combat as well as air-to-surface combat. It is approximately 61 feet long, has a max loaded weight of 66,000 lbs., and a max speed of 1,190 miles per hour.

Operating from the sea aboard aircraft carriers, the Super Hornet gives the Navy the power to protect America’s interests anywhere, at any time. The versatile jet has the ability to destroy targets located hundreds of miles inland, without the need to get another country’s permission to operate within its borders.

“I like that VFA-14 is a small command,” said Dobbins.

Dobbins said he is proud of the work he is doing as part of the squadron’s 217-member team, helping to protect America on the world’s oceans.

“Making sure the weapons system is functioning on the aircraft is essential to mission readiness,” said Dobbins.

Sailors’ jobs are highly varied in VFA-14. Approximately 24 officers and 193 enlisted men and women make up and keep all parts of the squadron running smoothly — this includes everything from maintaining aircraft airframes and engines, to

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseDesert Smash held its annual

tennis tournament On Tuesday of the BNP Parabas Tennis Open at LaQuinta Resort and Club. This Celebrity Tennis event is held the actor Will Farrell had hosted each year for a special Charity and for the last two, years. There are always top name tennis players who participate in this event.

This year it was Bieber Fever as Justin Bieber came to support “Cancer for College” charity. Justin Bieber played tennis against Comedian and actor

Kevin Hart. Neither Hart

nor Bieber are fantastic tennis players, but the crowd loved them. Kevin Hart was constantly making remarks on the tennis court that had the crowd laughing almost the whole time they played. His nonstop talking covered up the fact neither plays much tennis. The crowd clapped when either made a good serve or return of the ball.

Tennis Pros, Daniela Hantuchova and Eugenie Bouchard also joined in the fun on the court. Will Farrell could not play this year as earlier in the day he hurt a hamstring and even

showed the crowd his bandages. Tennis doubles champions Mike and Bob Bryan are always at this event to support the charities. Other tennis pros were San Querrey, Mardy Fish and Fernando Verdasco. Other Celebrities included Billy Bush, Lance Bass, Timothy Olyphant and members of the group Lifehouse plus others.

A concert and party were held after the matches with Lifehouse performing and Justin Bieber entertaining as the final performance of the evening.

Guests walked a red carpet as they entered the ball. Other performers were Natasha Bedingfield and DJ Bob Sinclar. Monies raised will go to Cancer for College charity.

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseJohnny Mathis was a huge

hit at the McCallum Theatre. The theatre actually booked him for 2 nights as the demand for his performance is so great. The Theatre was booked solid for both nights, as everyone was a fan of all of his hits from years past that brought back fond memories. Mathis didn’t disappoint his many fans as he is a master of the soft love songs and ballads. He sang so many of his hit songs and there was applause after each one.

He sang a few up-tempo songs, but most were serenades to a loved one. Some of the songs he sang were Shanandoah, Gina, Let It Be and Days of Wine and Roses. He sang an Andy Williams signature hit song, Moon River, to which he again got applause. He sang a couple of my personal favorites; Charade and Chances Are. Mathis still has a great voice

for a singer of Ballads. He does many concerts a year around the world.

Mathis has sold over 350 million records worldwide and has had many gold and platinum albums. He has produced his own TV specials and been on many late-night TV shows. shows. He has been inducted into the Grammy Hal l of Fame and been given many awards and honors during his career. I suppose many people do not know that he is also an avid golfer.

Loca l f an favorite Gary Mule Deer came on stage in between performances by Johnny Mathis. They are friends,

and Gary is a very funny comedian that has performed all over the world. He once said that he had become more famous since he let his hair grow and spiked it high for the windblown look.

T H E AT R E BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN

Arthur Miller’s ‘The Price’ at Mark TaperWhile “The Theory of

Everything” didn’t win as the best picture in this year’s Oscar race, its star Eddie Redmayne won an Oscar for his brilliant performance as a renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking. The film, based on Jane Hawking’s memoir “Traveling to Infinity: My Life With Stephen,” was directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (“Man on Wire”) and tells the amazing story of Hawking’s ability to survive against all odds.

Hawking, while still a student at Cambridge, was only 21 years old when he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. His life expectancy at that point was just two years at most. The news, while devastating, did not keep his college sweetheart Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones, best actress nominee) from loving him. They eventually decide to marry and enjoy whatever time he has left, and to the amazement of all their friends and family, they were able to have three children together. Life was not easy as the disease progressed, robbing him of his ability to walk, but even as his physical body deteriorated, his genius never waned.

Redmayne’s performance is excellent. In the beginning of the film, he is young, playful and brilliant in the classroom. Then in subtle ways he changes from a healthy young man into an individual confined to a variety of wheelchairs. And when he can no longer speak in his natural voice, he talks to us through his facial expressions.

Felicity Jones is equally believable as his wife who loves him through good times and bad. With Jane by his side, Hawking continued to write and research. Together they defied impossible odds, breaking new ground in both medicine and science. His most significant research has been the study of time—and speaking of time; he is still alive today, more than fifty years after being told he had only two years to live.

Bonus features include deleted scenes, feature commentary with director James Marsh and “Becoming the Hawkings.” Rated PG-13.

••••••••••••••

Once again, Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal as the witch in Disney’s “Into the Woods,” based on the Stephen Sondheim musical. The film, directed by Rob Marshall (director of “Chicago” and producer of “Wicked.”), gives a new twist to beloved fairytale classics like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk

and Rapunzell, who all come together when they venture into the woods.

Emily Blunt (nominated for her role as the butcher’s wife), James Corden (the butcher), Anna Kendrick (Cinderella), Chris Pine (the prince) and Johnny Depp (the big, bad wolf) also star in this thought provoking, clever musical, rated PG.

The Blu-ray comes with plenty of bonus features that include: “The Cast as Good as Gold”—the stars share their musical journey, “Deeper Into The Woods”—four pieces on the making of the film, filmmaker commentary and more.

••••••••••••••

“Gone Girl,” the dark thriller based on Gillian Flynn’s novel, deals with the mysterious disappearance of Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike, a best actress nominee). Police suspect her husband, Nick (Ben Affleck), but is she dead? There is blood in their home, but no murder victim. At least not at the moment. As police search for clues, so does her husband. Is Amy playing some kind of morbid game? Or is Nick?

The screenplay, by author Flynn, uses flashbacks to introduce us to Amy and Nick.

They meet at a party and woo each other with word games. It’s love at first flirt. They seem meant for each other, but are they?

The film, directed by David Fincher (“Social Network,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin

Button,” “The Fight Club”) deals with game playing, manipulation and some pretty creepy behavior. Tyler Perry plays Nick’s lawyer, and Neil Patrick Harris is a former admirer of Amy, who has never stopped loving her. “Gone Girl,” now on DVD, is rated R.

processing paperwork, handling weaponry, and flying the aircraft.

“VFA-14 is made up of a group of hardworking and skilled individuals whom work exceptionally well together.” said

Cmdr. Tommy Locke, VFA-14’s commanding officer. “Being a part of a squadron with as much history as VFA-14 instills a lot of pride and honor in our team and in the work we do. Everyone

knows their job and what is expected of them to complete our mission.”

The Tophatters are the Navy’s oldest active squadron, having formed in 1919. Since the squadron’s inception they have flown 23 different types of

aircraft, changed designations 14 times, and operated from 20 different aircraft carriers.

“The unconventional job is something I enjoy about serving in the Navy,” said Dobbins. “It is something I would have never been able to do anywhere else.”

Welcome Home Serena WilliamsStory and Photos by Pat Krause

Serena Williams has been back in the headlines for weeks. On Friday night she did come back and played against a very competent tennis player, Monica Niculesco. Monica played her heart out and gave Serena a run for her money as she played well and took advantage of errors made by Serena. The crowd was definitely for Serena, as they would cheer when a good play was made. Monica accepted that challenge to play her best and she said in the interview room after the match that she was proud of her game. Serena said she was a very formidable player and it was hard to make points against her.

Serena entered the court amid shouts of, Welcome Home Serena, and, Glad

You Are Back Serena,. Placards were held up in the midst of the clapping and screaming. You could tell that Serena was touched emotionally as she looked like she was holding back tears for the wonderful welcome. A far cry from 2001 when she

won but was even booed at one point. Serena said she didn’t need to win the tournament as she has already won in her own mind. It was a difficult decision to return but she felt the timing was right and she needed to let go of all those hurt feelings from so long ago.

She had talked with her family, coaches and Indian Wells people before she made the

decision to make a return to the Tennis Open. Her parents both agreed it was time to put the past behind her. She had met Nelson Mandela and read his book and that helped her decide to return here. She feels its a great opportunity to stand up and be a role model for her return to let go and forgive.

Serena made a lot of errors but I am sure that her emotions

had taken its toll on her play. At one point in the game the crowed cheered at a point made that looked like she got emotional again. It must have been really tough for her out there not knowing the reception she would get and getting that fantastic support from the crowd during the whole match. She said that

her Mother, her family and her friends were all there to support her. When she would make an error she would look over at her Mother for support. It was a great match and looking forward to more fantastic play from her in the future of this weeks BNP Parabas Open.

MUS I C BY ROBERT KINSLER

Amazing Irish outfit Pugwash, Nashville singer-songwriter Lilly Hiatt, Canadian rocker Pat Travers and Houston’s Buxton are giving music aficionados plenty of reasons to cheer via their latest releases.

Artist: Pugwash Title: A Rose in a Garden of Weeds: a Preamble Through the History of Pugwash... (Omnivore Recordings) You might like if you enjoy: Electric Light Orchestra, Blur, XTC, Beck

Tell me more: In a perfect world, Ireland’s Pugwash would have followed U2 and been an Emerald Isle musical export the entire world could embrace as its own. Thanks to Los Angeles-based Omnivore Recordings, Pugwash finally has a collection available in the U.S. “A Rose in a Garden of Weeds:

a Preamble Through the History of Pugwash…” is a brilliant and comprehensive introduction to the Dublin-based troupe. “A Rose in a Garden of Weeds” includes material spanning from 1999’s “Almond Tea” to 2011s “The Olympus Sound.” Simply put, the music, here is melodic, intelligent and as infectious as anything in memory. From power-pop masterworks (“Take Me Away,” “It’s Nice to be Nice”) and baroque pop (“A Rose in a Garden of Weeds”) to tender ballads (“Fall Down,” “Here”) and psychedelia-laced Britpop (“Anyone Who Asks,” “Be My Friend Awhile”), each and every one of the 17 tracks, here is remarkable. This being St. Patrick’s week, why not use the Irish holiday as an excuse to catch up on one of Ireland’s most outstanding artists. Information: OmnivoreRecordings.com.

Artist: Lilly Hiatt Title: Royal Blue (Normaltown Records) You might like if you enjoy: aRosanne Cash, First-Aid Kit, Nikki Lane

Tell me more: Lilly Hiatt’s powerful “Royal Blue” explodes with authentic sounds blending alt-and postmodern-country and ‘90s alt rock while she sings confessional material about love and loss with a timeless authenticity that isn’t all that surprising since she is the daughter of songwriting great John Hiatt. Lilly Hiatt’s heartfelt vocals work on blistering rockers (“Far Away,” “Machine”), country-tinged folk rock (“Off Track,” “Get This Right”) and pedal steel-draped country jewels (“Too Bad,” “Royal Blue”). Information: LillyHiatt.com.

Artist: Pat Travers

Title: Retro Rocket (Purple Pyramid Records / Cleopatra Records) You might like if you enjoy: Ace Frehley, Michael Schenker, UFO

Tell me more: Canadian hard-rock singer-guitarist Pat Travers is back with a new studio album, the appropriately-titled “Retro Rocket.” With classic rock back and bigger than ever (indeed both AC/DC and Steely Dan are performing at Coachella this year); it’s no wonder that Travers’ hard-hitting guitar-anchored rock sounds both rousing and relevant on one of his best efforts since 1978s “Heat In the Street.” The fiery “Mystery at the Wrecking Year” and driving “I Always Run” (with their extended instrumental guitar forays) are among the standouts on the 11-track disc. Information: cleopatrarecords.com.

Artist: Buxton Title: Half A Native (New West Records) You might like if you enjoy: Phosphorescent, Beck, Shakey Graves

Tell me more: Buxton’s third commercial release, “Half A Native,” reveals its magic upon the first listen, with additional textures and shades emerging into view with each play. The Sergio Trevino-led quintet is thankfully difficult to pigeonhole as evidenced by the mix of Americana (“High Tones,” “What I’d Do”). Introspective country rock (“Good As Gone,” “Old Haunt”), energetic indie rock (“Miss Catalina 1992,” “Icebreaker”) and sparse anti-folk (“A Little Bit More,” “Be Somebody Else”). Information: NewWestRecords.com.

Masterworks Arrive Under the Radar

Emotional Serena Williams was holding back her tears as she got a warm, standing ovation from the enthusiastic crowd.

By Pam PriceGallery 446 in Palm Springs

Artist’s Reception on March

14,th revealed a new road for the traditional Easter Bunny. Hold on to your basket of Easter

Eggs because The Mongolian Easter Bunny exhibit will be Palm Springs until January 6th thanks to Kenny Irwin, artist with a purpose and a sensational sense of humor.

He has curated with Dimitri Halkidis, the intrepid owner of Gallery 446 a fantasyland of bunny inspired art statements such as a Robocoptor.

Wh i l e v i ew ing the unpredictable art, guests munched on Red Hot chili pepper chocolate bunnies, kebobs and beef bacon chocolate cupcakes the go to gallery for those with a gregarious sense of humor, even when it comes to a “hip” itty hop Easter Bunny. Filling every square inch of this 1400 square foot gallery with Easter’s art goodies, many recycled, such as full size 1988 Chevy suburbia SUV. This idiosyncratic exhibit sourced materials from recycled materials making an environmentally conscious statement, evident starting the

minute you cross the threshold. Mr. Irwin and artist with

an eye for what some might refer to as junk as, he viewed art supplies from another perspective. There’s not much new here, and he is proud of it.

“What you see at this exhibit is sourced 80 per cent from repurposed items,” said Ken Irwin, proudly. He also has created other sculptures from resin, such as owls and swans,

not to mention a resin robot. Irwin enthusiastically pointed

out gift wrapped Easter eggs under a rotating Christmas tree, and a gallery filled with rainbow of colors from bright yellow, purple, pink to neon green. The price range for over 100 works of art, many unconventional are tagged from $500 to $109,000. “ No two art works are the same,”

said Timmy Woods, handbag designer who has also visited Mr. Irwin’s outdoor studio in Palm Springs. “This exhibit is humorous; I was flabbergasted at the range of Kenny Irwin’s grasp on recycling everyday items. It makes you look at everything from auto parts to flashlights in a new light. The sky is not the limit for Kenny Irwin!”

The admission fee to The Mongolian Easter Bunny is $10 with proceeds going to Boo2Bullying. Other artists on the show at Gallery 446 are Olivier Lheureux and Kevin Geary.

Theatre 29 Stages “Urinetown” The Musical

By Jack LyonsTheatre and Film Critic

Theatre 29, has long been the hi-desert’s home for family value musicals, comedies, and dramas. Over the years, the community theatre has ventured into a tad bit stronger theatrical fare, but always comes back home to its core family values roots.

The current offer ing “Urinetown”, the musical, written by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, may be an odd sounding

title, but the popular musical ran for three years both on and off Broadway; nabbing three Tony Awards in the process.

In the Theatre 29 production ably directed by Gary Daigneault, the cast of eighteen enthusiastic performers give it their all in bringing to life this satirical comedy musical that pokes fun at just about everything. How about the following subjects for starters: our legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, popul ism, bureaucracy,

corporate management, and municipal politics (did I miss a category?). In other words one might say the story by Hollmann and Kotis has been ripped from today’s headlines, Cable TV and Network TV. What is it that Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra used to say? “It’s déjà vu all over again”.

The simplistic story, such as it is, is set in the future where a 20-year drought has forced the government to take draconian measures in water conservation

and its distribution, even going so far as to ban the use of private toilets. In the mythical city of Urinetown, only privately owned Public Amenity facilities are legal and available – but for a price. Thus a “pee fee” is a way of life for the poor and downtrodden of Urinetown. However, one young hero, has had enough and foments a rebellion against the greedy water company; leading to a citizens for freedom revolt.

Actors love stories and plays like “Urinetown” because its cartoon-like characters gives them the opportunity to go over-the-top in performance. Leading the good people’s side is energetic and earnest Chris Fleischman as Bobby Strong, along with Trevor Carpenter, Cindy Daigneault, James Hodgson, Chalise Kunz, Emmi Partridge, Mike Shaw, Maddie Tuttle, and Amanda Winters.

On the dark side, resisting the townspeople’s demands are: Barry Inscore as Caldwell B. Cladwell, Rebecca Havely as the strong-singing, hard-nosed company payment collector Penelope Penneywise Katie Vansumeren as a conflicted Hope Cladwell who is sweet on Bobby Strong; Cathy Inscore, and Liyan Lagevardi. Dennis

“Easy” Boos, the play’s sly Narrator(with nice timing)and Officer Lockstock, and his sidekick partner Cindy Ross as Officer Barrel, complete the company of players, all of whom, appear to be having a wonderful time on stage. When they’re happy entertaining the audience, the audience enjoys the show even more. It may not have been what Theatre 29 audiences were expecting to see, but they applauded enthusiastically in all the right places.

Director Daigneault leads the creative team consisting of long time Music Director Ed Will who also plays the keyboards in the show. Mandi Pushkar is the Choreographer. Costumer Designers Cindy Daigneault and Marty Neider have the appropriate grunge look for the townies, and the right look for the Corporate/Company folks. Ken Palmer designs the lights, and Justin Brakebill is the Technical Director.

“Urinetown, The Musical” performs at Theatre 29 and runs through March 25th. For reservations and ticket information call the Box Office at 760-361-4151.

Palm Desert – Two and a half weeks have gone by since the first pitch of the season was thrown and the CIF favorite Palm Desert Aztecs currently own the DVL’s third worst non-conference record with three wins and four losses.

It is not time for the six-time defending DVL champs to panic just yet, though. In 2014, despite starting the season with an identical 3-4 record, head coach Darol Salazar’s Aztecs still achieved an undefeated league record, and made it to the section championship game.

The same cannot be said for La Quinta Blackhawks or Cathedral City Lions, the two teams trailing the Aztecs in the standings.

On Friday, behind ace pitcher Jeremiah Estrada’s four shutout innings and University of Oregon-bound Travis Moniot’s solo homerun, the Aztecs defeated the Redlands East Valley Wildcats in the final game of the Newport Elks tournament. Moniot is currently batting a solid .368 and Estrada earned his third win of the season.

Andrew Bash’s struggles at the plate and the mound have likely slowed Palm Desert down but it is only a matter of time before last year’s DVL player of

the year breaks out. Before the season started, Coach Salazar mentioned that high production is needed from Bash if the Aztecs are to have another successful season.

Through the first six games leading up to the game against the Wildcats, Bash was batting .222, with three RBIs and one double. While Bash is slacking, the team is grateful freshman standout Johnny Cuevas is picking it up. Through six games, Cuevas has nine hits in 17 at-bats (.549), three RBIs and four doubles.

Bash and the Aztecs will turn things around and be at the front of the pack come April. With a little less of a track record, it is hard to say the Blackhawks or Lions can do the same. The Indio High School Rajahs, Palm Springs Indians and Xavier Prep Saints – currently in second, third and fourth, respectively – will likely hover around the middle-top of the standings the length of the season.

On Tuesday*, the Aztecs got their first taste of the DVL regular season with an early matchup against the Saints at Xavier Prep High School. The Saints travel to Palm Desert to take on the Aztecs in the second leg of the series on Friday. Game starts at

6:30. The rest of the DVL play non-conference until next week.
