DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA- Russ Martin had a four decade long stint

with the Santa Monica Police Department and currently serves on Desert Hot Springs’ Public Safety Commission. Now he’s seeking a City Council seat. Desert Local News sits down with Martin and gets to the facts.

“Chief Williams has done an excellent job in guiding our police department. He’s got the right approach,” Martin states. “He is one of the most capable chiefs that I have encountered.” During the time when he and his wife Florence arrived in town about three years ago, there was turmoil going on in the city. “They let go of six police officers,” he said. “That can never happen again.”

Besides law enforcement and public safety, Martin believes that more could be done about the city’s image improvements. “We’re trying to bring people to Desert Hot Springs because we have a lot to offer,” he said. “We have world class spas. We need to make our city attractive

for people to come back and visit us again. We could have dressed up our gateway a long time ago. The money’s been there. Now we may not have the money to do it.” His goal is to make the city safe first, which includes safer parks, safer shopping centers and schools. He adds, “I want people to say that this is a good place to raise a family.”

High taxes are not the way to bring in revenue, as Martin pointed out. However, he did support Measure A (which raised utility taxes by two percent) because it was needed at the time. “Everybody needs to pay their fair share, and I will never support a parcel tax increase for residential homeowners and apartment owners. They are already paying their fair share,” he said. “As a general rule, I’m not in favor of increasing taxes to hire law enforcement. I’m in favor of balancing the tax rates.”

Martin felt that the city spent too much money buying properties left and right, like the Jewish Center for example. “They were advised by two city managers not to, but they went ahead and did so,” he mentioned. However, with that properties the city did buy, Martin feels that a lot of potential could be done to improve their images. “Now that we own those sites, we cannot let them sit there like that,” he says.

The arts are one area Martin would like to see happen in Desert Hot Springs. “We need to showcase the young people and their talents in our community. I was involved in art growing up,” he said. “My interest in art led to a career in law enforcement indirectly. It kept me from doing anything wrong.” Martin feels that focusing on the athletics is also important, but there are a lot more areas to cover. “There are a lot of young people who can write, sculpt, play music. We need to have a venue for them, and one of those buildings in the downtown could be used for that purpose,” he says, suggesting a place similar to Ignition Coffee Lounge in Palm Springs, where a lot of young artists hang out.

Martin will be willing to work with all other city council members if elected. He adds, “In this campaign, there are no villains. I like every one of the city council members. There needs to be some issues addressed with their interaction, but I can get along with everyone.”

DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA-

For six years, Jeff Bowman has led a successful hotel business in Desert Hot Springs and has been an active leader in his community. Desert Local News sits down with Bowman and discusses his plans to seek a seat with the Mission Springs Water District.

Bowman, owner of the Living Waters Spa hotel, states that the MSWD has not lived up to their promises when it comes to creating sewers and wells throughout the city. “I feel strongly that the board needs to meet the needs of the community,” he says. “I feel that the MSWD has let us down in terms of sewers and water production.” Bowman goes on to say that a full-city sewer system was promised by the year 2005, but so far, slightly less than half of the city has been sewered.

Bowman has been studying the way the district works by recently taking tours of some of their activities, such as water production. “As of right now, they have only put in one new well,” he said. “They promised to have five new wells by 2010. We’re four wells behind.” He goes on to say that one well has uranium in it, which is located near the Mission Lakes Country Club. So far, nearly a half million dollars have been spent to clean that well.

Financially, Bowman adds that the district has been burning through their reserve money, due to a $3.5 million deficit. “These problems could have been avoided if they were proactive and planned,” he states. “The district has served the community well since its existence, but during the last couple of years, they have not. They need new faces on the board.” Bowman objected to a recent major increase in water rates, saying that gradual increases could have been done instead. “I think it’s wrong that they did it in one big chunk like that. It’s a huge infrastructure that has to be developed.”

Bowman brings to his campaign years of experience in serving the public, volunteering his time to make Desert Hot Springs a better place. Currently, he serves as the chair of the city’s Public

Safety Commission. He and his wife Judy have been honored with “Businesspersons of the Year” in 2006, and their hotel is top-rated.

When the Bowmans came to town, the city council had a lot of issues at the time. Bowman feels that the current council is the most progressive one so far. Both he and many others believe that they are moving the city forward. “Now’s the time to prepare for the next big wave in the city,” Bowman continues. “I’m a make-it-happen kind of guy and the Water District is a great place for me to apply.”

5DHS ELECTION 2009 • DESERT LOCAL NEWS August 23, 2009

BREAKING NEWS-Roy Wilson, a Riverside County Supervisor for the past

fifteen years and former Palm Desert City Councilman, has resigned from office due to health issues that need to be addressed immediately.

In a letter obtained by Desert Local News, Wilson says that it is necessary for him to leave his position due to a decline in his health and the need for treatment. He left office effective on August 21st.

As a suggestion, Wilson wishes that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appoint Senator John Benoit to this position as an interim, and may be eligible for election in 2010. Reports close to Benoit say that he will be honored to accept the position. However, a special election will have to take place to fill his vacancy in the State Senate.

Benoit was previously a board member for the Desert Sands Unified School District and a law enforcement officer for the California Highway Patrol for three decades. In 2008, he was elected to the State Senate, replacing Jim Battin, who was already maxed out in terms.Stay tuned to Desert Local News for more details as they develop.

Supervisor Roy Wilson Resigns

Paid for by the Committee to elect Russell Betts I.D.1317810

Mr. McKee’s response to my column about the founding of our United States of America was interesting, but we evidently don’t agree. I have documentation about Benjamin Franklin’s motion that a chaplain open the next series of Constitutional Convention sessions with prayer, passing with negative votes by Alexander Hamilton and a few others – according to Convention Delegate General Jonathan Dayton’s recollection of that day.

On the subject of the founders’ commitment to forming a government based on Judeo-Christian principles, and their own belief in God, we can look at one signer of the Declaration of Independence, and our country’s 2nd President, John Adams. John Adams said this about his faith in God – “The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”

Another founder, Joseph Story, US Congressman; “Father of American Jurisprudence;” and US Supreme Court Justice, appointed by President James Madison, said this: “One of the beautiful boasts of municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law. There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity lying at its foundations.”

The renowned patriot, Patrick Henry, Revolutionary War General, Legislator, Ratifier of the US Constitution, and Governor of Virginia, had this to say about government and

religion: “The great pillars of all government and of social life are virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us as invincible.”

Our country’s experiment in self-government was founded on a firmly rooted reliance upon God. Although there isn’t any mention of the Almighty in the US Constitution, there are the words, “secure the Blessings of Liberty” in the Preamble, and the First Amendment protections of, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This meant that the founders were concerned about, and therefore outlawed a “national religion,” but conversely they guaranteed the freedom for individual Americans to believe and worship their Creator without fear of government interference. The main purpose of this new Constitutional Republic was “to secure these rights.”

It is a fact that the men, who wrote the US Constitution and our Bill of Rights, hired a chaplain for both the House and Senate on April 5, 1789 to offer prayer at the start of each session. That practice is carried on today. In fact the US Supreme Court’s day is opened with prayer – and the religious intonation of “God Bless This Court!” The clincher to this discussion is the fact that all 50 State Constitution Preambles open with a reference of a dependence upon God.

Respectfully,Matt Weyuker

To The Editor of The Desert Local News,


When you first entered the workforce, you probably didn’t anticipate the economy turning so sour. You’ve spent many years diligently promoting yourself and establishing a nice set of skills - only to find out your company can’t afford to keep you around.

So what do you do now?

While it may seem like everyone is unemployed, there are job positions being posted. A career coach can help you discover how your options match your values, lifestyle, priorities and long term goals.

Many people who hire career coaches quickly discover this is a potential career that allows them to produce fulfilling results in both their personal and professional lives. A certified professional coach helps individuals and businesses in a variety of ways, including creating a clear vision and goal achievement strategy; becoming more aware of what beliefs, skills, attitude, behaviors and resources are needed to succeed; streamlining decision making and ensuring it matches goals and priorities; forming a detailed, specific plan that lays out key milestones and progress; and, holding clients accountable to what they want to do and who they want to be.

STEREOPSISBY MATT WEYUKER

Former DHS Mayor Matt Weyuker

August

23th

Do you remember the Reader’s Digest “Most Unforgettable Person” feature? I’ve decided to not do a “political” column, but instead write a “Most Unforgettable Person” piece. My wife Marlene is about to celebrate the 56th anniversary of her “sweet-sixteenth” birthday. I am dedicating this column to her, and the wonderfully loving person that she is.

Marlene and I met about a month before her 16th birthday, in a part of the San Fernando Valley that was known as “Sun Valley.” I was a member of “Uncle Sam’s Canoe Club,” (my kidding name for the US Navy), and stationed at NAS San Diego. After dating for about 18 months, we got married in Los Angeles, and I was soon shipped overseas.

After I returned from Korean waters with my squadron on an aircraft carrier, we set up housekeeping in our first apartment in the Hillcrest section of San Diego, and soon became pregnant. We often went to Pernicano’s, a local Italian restaurant, where Marlene would embarrass me by out-eating me, and her funny excuse was, “Honey, I’m eating for two!” Marlene would often waken me in the middle-of-the-night, “craving” hot-fudge sundaes, and I would dutifully get her one.

I held a number of diverse jobs – but Marlene made the changes with her typical good naturedness. One example of her “tolerance,” was when I worked at a downtown LA insurance agency, and my boss had a luau. When we arrived, a fellow agent shouted

across the large backyard, “Hey Matt, who’s the chick with you?” Marlene was wearing a fancy full-length kimono, and she was livid! Apparently, it was the first time that he’d ever seen Marlene when she wasn’t pregnant.

Marlene not only held down the family-fort, with our four sons, and one daughter, but she was involved in helping a friend’s cerebral-palsied daughter, going to Fairview Hospital to work with the retarded children, and teaching a Sunday School class.

In those days, my wife was really not at ease with the give-and-take of the political world – but she put up with my decision to run a fellow school board member’s bid for an Assembly seat. After he won, Marlene was encouraging with her “you can do it,” when my new Assemblyman offered me his chief of staff position, while still running my insurance business.

A couple of years later, the Assemblyman asked me to serve as his committee aide in the State Capitol, Marlene was right there praying with me about the potentially life-changing move to northern California. Marlene fearlessly drove our station wagon that was loaded with three of our kids, two cats who hated each other, and our male beagle and 3 beagle puppies, thru snow in Gorman (at the top of the “Ridge”), and she got lost in Sacramento. After our move to Sacramento, our youngest son Keith had cataract surgery, (he was born with congenital cataracts), and after he recovered, Marlene got

involved with an after-school Bible study program called “Released-Time.”

When I became the medical association’s CEO/Lobbyist, Marlene came aboard with me as the bookkeeper. That meant that we were together 24/7. I “retired” from the association after 20 years, and we moved to Desert Hot Springs. I took the position of government relations director for a health sciences university. My wife was right there with me, becoming a member of the prestigious Founders’ Committee, and assisting me with my work.

When I decided to run for DHS Mayor, although she disagreed with the decision, Marlene became my campaign manager, and my “cheer leader.” When I was elected and reelected twice, Marlene was along side of me, in full support, making many friends along the way.

After I was stricken with this neurological disease, (ALS), my wife has been my loving companion, caring nurse, “laugh-maker,” and true friend. As the disease process picked up steam, Marlene steadfastly served as my bather, dresser, “interpreter,” (my speech is garbled) and my chauffer, when I could no longer drive.

Marlene Weyuker, my wife, my love, and my best friend – is beyond a doubt, the most honestly courageous person I have ever known – and a truly “Most Unforgettable Person!”

BY STAFF ARA- Your shoulders are tight, your head throbs, your heart pounds and you don’t recall the last night you slept peacefully. Whether it’s because your 401(k) statement just arrived or you’re dreading the up-coming holiday shopping season, you - like millions of other Americans these days - are probably feeling economy-induced stress.

Whatever its source, prolonged stress can have serious health consequences - a well-known fact that may contribute to

Americans’ willingness to spend money on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), like massage therapy.

Massage can help you relieve economy-induced stress is by providing a challenging, meaningful and financially rewarding career. If you’re out of work or just looking for a career change, you can achieve a professional credential and be prepared for a job in massage with as little as six months of training.

“Many people have taken mandatory

salary cuts, and massage can be a versatile alternative to make up the difference in income,” says Jeff Mann, president of Cortiva Institute - Pennsylvania School of Muscle Therapy. “They can ease their stress because massage therapy can provide the flexibility they need with a minimal investment. It works as a full-time or part-time career option.”

BY STAFF ARA- With back-to-school season right around the corner, there’s no better way to spend time with your kids and encourage them to use their imagination than to create something with them in the kitchen.

Over the past seven years, thousands of kid chefs from across the country have taken on the challenge of making the most creative peanut butter sandwich, coming up with peanut butter kabobs, peanut butter fruit pockets and even “Happy Hedgehogs” using Jif (R) peanut butter and their imaginations.

From Aug. 7 through Nov. 13, 2009, the makers of Jif peanut butter are accepting entries for the 8th Annual Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest(TM). Five finalists will win a trip to New York City for the live judging event and a chance to win the grand prize of a $25,000 scholarship fund. Four runners-up will be awarded a $2,500 scholarship fund. The contest is open to children ages 6 to 12.

Last year’s most creative peanut butter sandwich was inspired by a Louisiana po’boy sandwich and a Philly cheesesteak. Ten-year-old Jordyn Boyer of Lebanon, Pa. wowed the judges with her Po’Boy Peanut Butter Chicken Cheesesteak, made with Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, chicken, peppers, onions, apples and mozzarella cheese. To compliment the fresh peanutty taste of her sandwich, Jordyn created a sauce of Jif creamy peanut butter, Worcestershire sauce, honey and honey mustard, perfect for dipping her savory sandwich.

For decades, choosy moms have made Jif their No. 1 choice of peanut butter and the makers of Jif would like to give choosy moms the recognition they deserve. The Jif Moms Voice Their Choice Contest (TM) is asking moms (or those inspired by one) to submit their stories - in 250 words or less - of how they make the best choices for their families. One grand prize winner will win a trip to New York City to serve as a judge at the 8th Annual Jif Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich Contest final live judging event in March 2010.

Last year’s winner, Judy Detter, from Clark Summit, Pa. talked about wearing many different hats in her family, one of them being the family chef. “As a choosy mom of two kids, peanut

butter is something we pack in their lunches daily,” she says. “As my family’s cook, I choose to prepare healthy snacks and creative meals and look forward to recreating these recipes with my daughters.”

MOVIE REVIEW by Nick Jones • DESERT LOCAL NEWS • August 23, 2009 17

Well, it has finally happened — computer-generated visual effects have finally gotten to the point where you can no longer tell the difference between what is real and what is not. You no doubt have seen their marketing c a m p a i g n

around, “Humans Only” signs and such, building up the hype, and I’m ecstatic to announce that the film not only lives up to its hype, but also may even surpass it.

“District 9,” a film with unknown director Neill Blomkamp made on a relatively small budget and containing no big name actors, may end up being the movie of the summer or even possibly the year.

Aliens have arrived to our planet, but not in typical “Independence Day” fashion, they seem to be lost or maybe just ran out of fuel or some other nonthreatening reason. Starting off with the now over-done documentary style of filming started by “The Blair Witch Project,” I sighed a little. But this surprisingly only lasted a few minutes, and gives crucial information and a solid back

story. The Prawns, as they are called due to the fact that they look like oversized tall shrimp, arrived over Johannesburg, South Africa, about 20 years ago. While their spaceship hovered, armed forces flew up and forced their way in and found more a million aliens, malnourished and in bad shape. They were hauled off to refugee camps while the world decided what to do with them.

Eventually the people living around District 9 get tired of the Prawns and demand they be moved. Multi-National United (MNU) is a private company that has been contracted to move them to their new resettlement, District 10. But, of course, they are secretly interested in the aliens’ sophisticated weaponry, which can only be activated and used by alien DNA.

Appointed to head the task force to move the Prawns is Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a clueless, pencil-pushing bureaucrat. Understandably the aliens are not eager to move, so van der Merwe rolls in with a private army armed with tanks and guns to “encourage them,” incidentally trashing their homes, which are full of alien children.

Now, this is where the film gets really interesting and truly shines. While van der

Merwe is confiscating whatever he sees fit, he accidentally infects himself with alien DNA and before he knows it, he has grown a lobster claw in place of his hand. Suddenly he finds himself running from MNU, who want to use him for experiments due to the fact that he can now operate alien weaponry.

“District 9” isn’t even really about the aliens, as one might expect. It’s really more of a character drama, examining how a man evolves when confronted with extraordinary circumstances. We observe van der Merwe change in body and spirit from a frail, dorky man to a man fighting for his life, ready to take on any challenge that arises, and while he becomes more and more Prawn-like, we see his humanity grow ever more apparent.

Roccie Hill announced this is the last time the Summer Fling fundraiser will be held at the Whitewater location near Palm Springs, Calif. Hill sited some of the challenges they have faced at the present location — wind, heat and the threat of fire. The move to the new site, a beautiful five-acre ranch in Hemet, will allow all functions to be in closer proximity, upgraded residential dormitories and an increase the number of kennels to meet Guide Dogs of the Desert mission, reduce driving for the trainers, and allow for year-round training.

It is always fun to attend an event where the pups bring their human friends. Such was the case at Saturday’s Summer Fling, except the human friends are either Puppy Raisers or a Breeder Host. Puppy Raisers provide homes, training and the costs in raising a puppy. The raising of the pup is from the time they are 8- to 22-weeks old. They are then returned to the campus for guide training. Breeder Host families, aka Fosters, give safe and loving homes for the dogs and keep them in top physical condition.

With the Stadler family, their Puppy Raising began when Bill Stadler’s father-in-law graduated with a guide dog. Bill and Jesslyn Stadler attended the graduation ceremony and came home with a puppy to raise.

The evening started with the social hour, followed by the welcome given by Hill, and then the raffle and silent auction began and was announced by Brian Vandusen.

Vandusen and wife Patti are active members of the Lions Club. I became aware that there were many Lions Club members present. Patti Vandusen said Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become knights for the blind thus it became convention.

Prior to the closing events, Daniela Whipple was introduced as the youngest member, age 13, of the Club. She is not only a club member but is also participating in the puppy raising of Hope, a 6-month old Labradoodle.

DESERT HOT SPRINGS – Dick Cromwell, a former Desert Hot

Springs City Councilman and nationally-recognized pioneer in the use of alternate fuels, has taken out papers for the Mission Springs Water District Board of Directors, one of two district openings on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Cromwell, a long-time Desert Hot

Springs resident, has attended MSWD board meetings for more than two years. Concerned the district is not doing enough to protect its award-winning water is the primary reason Cromwell decided to run.

“Our water is our city’s priceless brand.

It is the primary reason people live and visit here,” Cromwell stated.” Yet, it has been too easy to look the other way as the population grows and septic tanks age and are poorly maintained. It’s time to get serious about protecting our water with more than lip service.”

Cromwell outlined a three-point plan:

Completely sewer the city. Improve residential and commercial septic tank maintenance in the interim through

partnerships with MSWD, the City and the private sector. Move the Horton Sewer Treatment Plant to a new location that cannot encroach on residents and visitors.

Cromwell understands these are costly

projects that cannot be borne by the city’s residential and business community. His plans depend largely on federal grants and his experience as a consultant familiar with the inner-workings of Sacramento and the nation’s capitol.

In the case of the Assessment District

12 passed in 2004 to provide some 12,000 sewer hook ups, the property owner was to pay the first $4,100 with MSWD paying the balance. Cromwell notes that he believes MSWD is obligated to find the money to pay its share of the approximately 6,000 District 12 properties that have still not been hooked up.

“Our needs are exactly where grant

money should be spent. Without these improvements, the community one day could find itself in the same position as the Cathedral City Cove where the state gave the residents a deadline to get rid of septic

tanks or abandon their homes. Development of these plans and

implementing them will take expertise, connections, patience and, above all, leadership, he said. “I love this city and it deserves a major effort to protect its future,” Cromwell noted.

Cromwell is founder of the Coachella

Valley Clean Cities Region and co-developer, in partnership with COD, of a CNG training program that is in use worldwide. The training program later was the basis for the nation’s first community college curriculum for hydrogen fuel cells. Cromwell is a former SunLine Transit Agency general manager, City of Desert Hot Springs Planning Commissioner and Palm Springs Unified School District Board member, serving one year as district president. Cromwell has received many awards for his innovative technological leadership. He is a consultant to the clean energy transportation industry and has also served as a consultant to the City of Desert Hot Springs.

BY STAFF ARA- Thanks to the introduction of surprisingly delicious better-for-you foods, balancing nutrition and great taste is simple.

Bob Greene, author of the New York Times bestseller “The Best Life Diet,” believes healthy eating can be a culinary experience. He provides the following tips for healthy living:

* Stick with a healthy routine even after slip-ups.

* Exercise regularly, eat fruits, vegetables and foods rich in whole grains to boost your overall wellness.

“I recommend three to five servings of whole grains daily. To reach this goal, try substituting some of the refined products you eat with versions that contain whole grains. For instance, this is easy when you enjoy foods that taste delicious like Barilla Whole Grain pasta, that you can use in place of regular pasta,” Greene says.

Greene encourages people to take the Barilla “That’s Whole Grain?” Taste Challenge which guarantees that anyone who tries Barilla Whole Grain will enjoy its taste. People who are not completely satisfied with the product can receive a box of their favorite regular Barilla pasta. To participate or learn more visit www.TryBarillaWholeGrain.com.

This fall, thousands of people nationwide will walk to help change the future of diabetes. Rain or shine, walkers will join together to stop this disease, which kills thousands of people annually.

Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes is the American Diabetes Association’s signature fundraising walk event. With strong support from the business community including sponsorship and corporate teams, this event raises over $20 million to support the ADA’s mission: To prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

People with diabetes can choose to walk as a Red Strider. A Red Strider is someone who has diabetes - type 1, type 2 or gestational - who can proudly walk as an individual or create a team and walk with friends, family and co-workers. The purpose of the Red Strider program is to support everyone who lives with diabetes and showcase the courage it takes to live with this serious disease.

Christine Schaeberle is one of the many

walkers who will step out as a Red Strider this year. Red Striders are distinguished at Step Out events by wearing a red hat. “On the day of Step Out, it is very important to recognize all the people with diabetes,” says Schaeberle. “By wearing the red hats, we are able to do that.”

Schaeberle had a role in launching the first Red Strider program in Colorado. The program has since gone national.

“The Red Strider program opened our eyes to how many people have diabetes. It also made us realize how important it is for us to recognize them and how we need to raise money to cure this disease,” says Schaeberle. “On walk day, I felt particularly supported as I was able to recognize other people with diabetes. All the walkers encouraged us to keep fighting this challenging disease.”

Reasons why you should Step Out and walk to stop diabetes:

* You are showing support for the nearly 24 million children and adults in the

U.S. with diabetes and the millions more at risk. Most people are affected by diabetes or know someone who is.

* There is no fundraising minimum, although it is strongly encouraged to raise funds and awareness to support the American Diabetes Association and its mission. As a reward, incentives are given to walkers for varying levels of fundraising.

* Routes are for everyone regardless of age or athletic ability. They range from 2 to 6 miles.

* The day of the event is a party to celebrate the accomplishments of all the teams and individual participants as well as an opportunity to promote awareness about diabetes and the American Diabetes Association.

For more information or to register for a Step Out event in your community, visit www.diabetes.org/stepout or call (888) DIABETES (888-342-2383).

A leaky, un-insulated garage door may not be an obvious culprit in rising monthly utility bills, but it’s worth a second look if you have an attached garage.

Replacing an older garage door with a new, energy-efficient model can reduce energy loss through the garage door by up to 71 percent, according to a comparison study conducted by Clopay engineers.

“Since attached garages typically share one or two common walls with the house, any hot or cold that travels through a door will ultimately affect the adjacent living areas,” says Mark Westerfield, director of product development for garage door manufacturer Clopay Building Products. “An insulated garage door can help stabilize temperatures in the garage to reduce heat losses or gains from common house walls.”

Depending on the specifics of your home and attached garage construction, a well-insulated door can help keep your unheated garage 10 to 20 degrees warmer on a cold winter day. “That can have a significant impact on the comfort of family rooms or bedrooms located above or next to the garage,” says Westerfield.

Homeowners who purchase an energy-efficient garage door now through Dec. 31, 2010, will not only save on their heating and cooling bills, they may qualify for up to $1,500 in federal tax credits, thanks to the new stimulus legislation. Certain criteria apply. Visit www.clopay.com or call (800) 225-6729 for more information and a list of eligible models.

Helpful tips

More than 40 percent of the current housing stock was built prior to the era of energy efficiency, according to a report by The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. If your garage door is a hold-over from the dark ages, here are some things to look for when making an upgrade:

* Two inch-thick, three-layer “sandwich” construction including environmentally safe, chlorofluorocarbon-free insulation

layered between two sheets of heavy-duty galvanized steel.

* R-value or U-factor - these are measurements of the thermal efficiency of a door’s insulation. The higher the R-value, or the lower the U-factor, the more energy-efficient the insulation.

* Energy Tax Credit eligible - available for garage doors with a minimum factor of 0.30 installed on a homeowner’s primary residence.

* Insulation type - There are two different types of insulation used in garage doors; expanded polystyrene and polyurethane. Doors constructed using either kind qualify for the Energy Tax credit, and both are strong and durable.

* Design - Get the most out of your garage door upgrade. Choose a model that complements your home’s architectural style.


Lower your energy costs with an insulated garage doorBY STAFF ARA

A healthy home can add to healthy energy savings

Lower your energy costs with an insulated garage door We may be riding an

economic roller coaster, but one fact is certain: the weather is about to get cooler. And who wouldn’t like to save a few bucks on heating bills this winter?

When it comes to winterizing your home, the fundamentals still apply:

* Inspect the attic for proper insulation.

* Inspect the furnace and replace the filter.

* Replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

* Clean out the gutters.

* Check for air leaks around windows or doors.

There’s an opportunity to do more with winterizing windows and doors, because leaky windows or doors can be symptomatic of larger issues. Take a closer look and determine if proper caulking, more insulation (or weather stripping if it’s a door) or a full replacement is in order. A properly installed and maintained window or door helps seal out air and moisture.

Tax credits

If you’re thinking of replacing the windows and doors in your home, the good news is there’s still time to take advantage of federal tax credits. Under the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) economic stimulus plan, homeowners can claim a tax credit up to 30 percent of the cost of qualifying energy-efficient replacement windows and doors, up to $1,500 for units installed in their primary residence in 2009 or 2010.

Pella offers a wide variety

of types and styles of energy-efficient replacement windows and doors that qualify for the tax credits. For example, Pella Designer Series windows and patio doors which feature triple-pane glass are rated No. 1 for energy efficiency among top national brands. In addition, Pella’s vinyl products offer high performance Low-E glass as an option. This highly energy-efficient window is ideal for warm regions, where blocking damaging Ultraviolet (UV) rays is critical. Pella’s product blocks 95 percent of UV light as compared to 44 percent for clear, insulating glass.

Look for the ENERGY STAR as a mark of energy-efficient products, and consult with your Pella expert to help determine which windows and doors qualify for the replacement tax credit. Consult with your tax professional for more information on available tax credits.

Healthy home

No matter where you live, the onset of winter brings the likelihood of spending more time inside. Many elements can contribute to the health and safety of a home - windows being one of them. The U.S. Surgeon General recently issued a call to action to help promote healthy homes

How can you maintain your own healthy home? For starters, try these concepts developed by design experts Amy Ellison Ostberg and Michelle Roberts - the “Seven Design Principles for Healthy Homes.”

1. Keep it dry

2. Keep it clean

3. Keep it ventilated

4. Keep it safe

5. Keep it free of contaminants

6. Keep it well-maintained

7. Keep it pest-free

Windows allow natural light and fresh air into the home and provide protection from the elements. Windows can also play a major role in the health of a home. For example, Pella’s Designer Series product helps minimize certain indoor airborne allergens. These windows feature optional blinds, shades or decorative panels between panes of glass to help eliminate dust and dirt accumulation usually rampant on common window treatments.

A University of Iowa study found windows with traditional room-side blinds collected 200 times more of certain indoor airborne allergens than Pella Designer Series products.

Hunker down and help your immunity

As you get ready to hunker in for the winter, don’t let being inside get you down. Flu and cold germs can run rampant in cold weather. Stay warm and help maintain your health by exercising, getting fresh air, washing your hands frequently, drinking adequate amounts of water and allowing yourself plenty of rest. After all, a healthy home also includes occupants that feel their best.

Bland walls?

27CALIFORNIA WELLNESS • DESERT LOCAL NEWS August 23, 2009 DESERT LOCAL NEWS August 23, 2009

When the weather cools and the bright sun of summer fades into autumn’s grayer skies, bare bland walls can feel like an ugly mark on your home’s decor. Suddenly, those undecorated walls that you were too busy to notice this past summer cry out for color and pizzazz - especially if you’re dealing with economy-induced stress.

“Fall is a great time to redecorate because as the weather cools people start heading indoors again,” says Jonathon Fong, a Los Angeles-based interior decorator and author of “Walls that Wow.” “Home is more important again whereas summer was all about the outdoors. We want to make our homes comfortable, cozy and beautiful again. And when we decorate during the fall, we can show off our efforts at the holidays.”

So what are the hot trends and easy do-it-yourself decorating upgrades that will be hot this fall? Fong and artist Matthew Lew offer a few tips:

Bright, aggressive color

“The hot colors in home décor this fall will be brighter, happier versions of traditional fall hues - butter yellow, orange, persimmon and all shades of blues,” predicts Fong. “These are colors of optimism, and in the current economy, people want to be surrounded by hope. These happy colors put you in a good mood.”

“The hottest colors for room redesigns this fall will be aggressive color combos, using colors like scandal red or lobster paired with yolk yellow or custard,” says Lew, whose work has been featured on “Extreme Makeover Home Edition,” HGTV’s “Divine Design” and CBS’s “The Early Show.”

“People want a splash of color in their homes,” Lew adds. “The aggressive color combinations are great because they can make a bold statement very simply without overdoing it. I think people are attracted to that, especially with the economy right

now.”

Texture that’s easy to achieve

Adding texture to a wall is another trend, especially if it’s a simple texture - such as stripes - that homeowners feel confident doing themselves, Fong says. Patterns, vinyl lettering or decals, and even wallpaper murals are great ways to add interest to boring walls.

Both designers agree wallpaper murals will continue to be popular, both for their versatility and ease installation by DIY homeowners. Fong has incorporated wallpaper murals from the Web site www.MuralsYourWay.com into his designs, and Lew’s artistry is featured on several of the site’s made-to-order wallpaper murals.

“Wallpaper murals are one of my favorite design options because they make a huge impact in a room at an affordable price,” Fong says. “If you were to have a decorative painter replicate some of the great designs available in wallpaper murals, it would cost thousands of dollars.”

If you’re intimidated by the idea of a mural, you can start out smaller by adding wallpaper murals elsewhere in your décor, Fong suggests. “Cut the mural into smaller pieces and frame the individual pieces. Put it on a door. Mount it to a piece of wood and make a headboard or a dressing screen out of it,” he says.

Finally, when you’re ready for your fall design spruce up, Lew and Fong have a few tips for creating a design you can love:

* “Think baby steps,” Fong says.

Decorate a small wall or section of a large wall first. Give yourself a day to get used to your new wall.

* Consider your favorite colors and how you can use them to make your design “say what you want it to say,” Lew suggests.

* Go beyond paint and texture. Try fabric, paper and metal, Fong urges. Get creative, but don’t forget simple tricks too. “Sometimes the simplest thing is a mirror,” Lew says. “It opens up the entire room and brings in light.”

* Keep it real. “Look at your wall’s dimensions and be realistic,” Lew says. “Sometimes having the entire wall covered is too overpowering and a smaller scale would look better. For example, you might want to use part of the wall as a mural and then paint the other portions a similar color.”

* “No matter how it turns out in the end,” Fong says, “say you meant it to look that way.”Courtesy of ARAcontent

VICKI LAWSON’S CRIME REPORT • DESERT LOCAL NEWS • August 23, 2009 31

PALM SPRINGS, CA- On Thursday, August

20th, the Palm Springs Police Department with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigations and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement took custody of the sixth and final outstanding suspect in the murder of Cliff Lambert. Russell Herbert Manning was taken into custody by Palm Springs Police Detectives at the Los Angeles International Airport as he disembarked from the airplane that flew him back to the United States from Mexico.

Russell Manning was incarcerated in Mexico on an unrelated drug charge when he fled the United States after Lambert’s murder and was deported back to the United

States. Manning is currently being held at the Riverside County Jail in lieu of $1 million bail. So far, Manning

is pleading not guilty to any of the charges.

He, along with five other men, are accused of playing a role in the December 5, 2008 death of Lambert. They took money out of his Pacific Western Bank account about a week later. Shortly after Lambert’s death, his home in Palm Springs was put on the market with a forged power-of-attorney document, selling for far less than market value.

The others who are incarcerated in connection to this death are: San Francisco lawyer

David Replogle, 60; Craig McCarthy, 29;

Kaushal Niroula, 27; Daniel Carlos Garcia, 26, of Modesto; and Miguel Bustamante, 26.

Sixth Suspect in Lambert Murder Case

CapturedBY VICKI LAWSON

COACHELLA, CA- On Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at about 2:00 PM, deputies from the Indio Sheriff’s Station arrived in the 54000 Block Of Canal Road in the City of Coachella regarding a burned vehicle.

Upon arrival, deputies located a burned vehicle with a body inside which had been burned beyond recognition. The vehicle was not in flames when the deputies arrived. Investigators are attempting to determine how long the vehicle had been there in an effort to discover when the fire occurred. The location is an isolated dirt road.

The remains were recovered from the vehicle and transported to the Riverside County Sheriff-Coroner’s office for autopsy. At this point homicide investigators have

not determined who owns the vehicle, nor have they determined the identity of the decedent. The identification will likely have to be done from dental records.

Due the circumstances of the case, it is being treated as a suspicious death and is being investigated by the Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit with the assistance of investigators from the Indio Station.

The investigation is ongoing and no further information will be released at this time.

Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact Detective Eichelt at Central Homicide at 760-393-3500 or Detective Martin at the Indio Sheriff’s Station at 760-863-8990.
