Mark your calendars for two upcoming events on March 23: “Diaspora in Relief: Emily Hay” at The Palms and the Community Cleanup at the Wonder Valley Community Center.

For additional information on any of the above events, call our WVCC Coordinator Teresa Sitz at 760-367-9880.

We send out Rainbows-of-Amethysts-and-Violets to Susie Sesma who celebrates her special day this week. And since the birthstone for March is the aquamarine and the flower is the jonquil, we send out Rainbows-of-Aquamarines-and-Jonquils to Sandy Mitchell and Tonya Briggs who also celebrate special days this week. Happy birthday to all!

Darlene’s Commentary: I want to thank Mr. Bob Dougherty who works diligently to help low-income seniors take advantage of programs that make life a little easier. I recently applied for the Home Energy Assistance Program at our WVCC. I waited while Bob, with a kind smile, patiently went over everything with a gentleman who wanted to make sure he had everything correct. The man left wearing an ear-to-ear grin! When I walked over, the air was filled with “Bob’s Essence” – kindness, honor and respect – because that’s just the kind of person he is.

Karen's Commentary: On April 18, 1935, the first Desert Trail newspaper was published. The cost was five cents per copy and it was “dedicated to the mining and resort industry.” The weather summary was “Always Fair.” Gold was listed at $34.81 per ounce, with silver at 75 ½ cents per ounce! The front page article that immediately catches the eye is “’Cap’ Humphreys Ain’t Dead – Yet!” It seems that Cap Humphreys was in the Veterans Hospital when another patient named Humphreys passed away. By the time the news reached Twentynine Palms, it was Cap reported as deceased! The article set the record straight.

If you have a question, comment or complaint about road maintenance, please call 760-367-9880. And thank you, Tim, for all you do.

Handy Hint: By purchasing an LED bulb instead of an incandescent, you’ll end up saving about $38 because LED bulbs last 10 years.

Today’s Thought: Broken pencils are pointless.

Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.

For additional information on any of the above events, call our WVCC Coordinator Teresa Sitz at 760-367-9880.

Karen’s Commentary: Twentynine Palms now has its very own sinkhole! It happened during a rainstorm on February 14, so I guess it was some kind of weird Valentine’s gift from Mother Nature! My son Joe lives at Sagewood Manor Apartments where this sinkhole is located. The opening is about four feet wide, but when looking inside, it’is about seven feet deep and the size of a small room! Everyone has their own idea of what caused it, with the most popular being that it’s an old septic system that has disintegrated over the years, with the earth partially collapsing into the void.

Darlene’s Commentary: As many of you know, I am a dinosaur about computers by choice. However, I understand that banking transactions can be made on those confounded machines. Since the Bank of America ATMs are locally non-existent for at least a couple more months, maybe I should give this a try! So you should now see my planner – my dear, dear sister Karen (a non-dinosaur) has pre-planned visits scheduled to teach me the ins and outs of the wonders packed into those little metal boxes from February 20 to December 31, 2019!!! I should be a total Computer Nerd by 2020.

Wonder Valley’s website www.wondervalley.org tells everything you ever wanted to know about Wonder Valley, but were afraid to ask! Ken and Teresa Sitz do a great job keeping everyone up-to-date on all our happenings and interesting people.

Handy Hint: To remove oil and grease stains, sprinkle baking soda on the stain to remove any loose oil or grease. Then soak in white vinegar and scrub with dish soap before washing normally.

Today’s Thought: Batfish play dead to hide from predators. Their compressed bodies look like leaves floating on top of the water.

Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.

Darlene’s Commentary: I had the surprise of my life on my 67th birthday. Karen had taken me out to lunch, and we took our time enjoying the good food and talking and relaxing before heading for home. When we got to my house, my yard looked like a parking lot! Cars were everywhere, and I couldn’t quite grasp what was going on. Well it was a surprise birthday party for me! I had no notion or hint that this was coming so I was completely flabbergasted! There were about 30 people there, including all three of my kids and all of their kids, plus many dear friends. The person who orchestrated the plans for such a fantastic party is Richard Herron, my sweetheart for 20+ years. I was showered with beautiful cards and gifts and will always have sweet and happy memories of that wonderful day. A sincere thank you to all who made it happen.

Karen’s Commentary: Dar hogged all the room! (Only joking.)

Handy Hint: Before you go to the store, make a shopping list. People who shop with a list spend less time in the store and make fewer impulse buys.

Today’s Thought: Your “philtrum” is the little groove between your nose and upper lip.

Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.

WV in The Washington Post.

Forget Coachella, there’s a vibrant, more affordable music scene around Joshua Tree.
By Melanie D.G. Kaplan, February 8, 2019, The Washington Post Travel Section

"Palms Restaurant, a desert roadhouse in Wonder Valley, is even farther from civilization than Pappy’s. It’s known for its free-spirit vibe and avant-garde performances — such as Wonder Valley Experimental (March 30), a festival of experimental music; imagine pots and pans and concrete mixers as instruments.

“'We get a mix of locals, tourists and people driving through on the way to Vegas,' said Kevin Bone, who books talent for the Palms and planned the Hi-Desert Hukilau Music Festival, April 19 and 20, to coincide with the second weekend of Coachella; the lineup includes Victoria Williams, Ben Vaughn and Rosa Pullman. “If you think about Burning Man, some people are willing to drive all the way out to the desert,” Bone said. 'Those are the people who prefer that we’re in the middle of nowhere, prefer to see music under the stars.' He said patrons also like the free camping for festivals available on the Palms grounds and Sunday brunch with $2 Bloody Marys."

From Task and Purpose.

Aww. It's not that bad!

Supervisor reconstitutes MAC.

Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe ("Rowe" as in "Blow" in "Blower Road"), is reconstituting the Morongo Basin Municipal Advisory Council which represents the nine unincorporated communities in the Morongo Basin.

Teresa Sitz, the former MAC Delegate who served nearly 4 years, will not be reapplying. Anyone interested is welcome to apply for the (unpaid, and volunteer) position. It involves attending 10 meetings a year in Joshua Tree (2nd Monday of the month at 5:30 p.m.), and scheduling local meetings for the community on a nearly monthly basis. It helps if you're comfortable speaking in public.

Aide Christina Garcia writes,
Good Morning all,
If you plan to apply for the new Morongo Basin MAC, you must submit your application by March 1st. I also have hard copies here in the office if anybody needs one. I included the link to submit online, if you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!

On a sad note, Wonder Valley resident Robert William Adams has passed away. He was affectionately known to all his friends as “Vietnam Bobby” and he will be very much missed in our community. He was born on June 11, 1961 and died on January 13, 2019 at the age of 57. Graveside services will take place on Wednesday, February 13 from 2:15 to 2:45 p.m. at Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Boulevard, in Riverside.

The Wonder Valley Lending Program provides books and movies to borrow, just like a little library. Stop in at the WVCC to see what’s available, all at no charge.

Handy Hint: The average American pays about $2400 in credit card interest annually. To save those costs, transfer credit card debt to a card with 0 percent interest. Find better options at WalletHub.com.

Today’s Thought: If you’re looking for a few great lines . . . Dennis Miller said, “You know there’s a problem when you realize that out of the three Rs, only one begins with an R.” Oscar Wilde said, “To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” Billy Wilder said, “He has Van Gogh’s ear for music.” And Bette Midler said, “She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.”

Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.

Stop sign at Shelton and Amboy

Nothing makes me feel more small town than writing about a new stop sign.

At the January community meeting, a community member -- Barbara, in fact, mentioned that she'd almost missed the stop on Shelton and Amboy. I put in an order for  sign, and viola! There it is! And while they were there they put a stop sign at Kern and Amboy across the street.

Now, I just hope that whoever cuts down all our signs will consider that this particular sign has the potential to save many lives, so please, don't cut down this stop sign.

Vega Victoria with special guest Grant Earl LaValley

Vega Victoria is an indie-Americana singer-songwriter in the Bay Area, originally from Stockholm, Sweden. Her debut EP The Long Embrace was recorded and produced by Ben Tanner, band member of  the Grammy-award winning band Alabama Shakes, in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Revered songwriter Dylan LeBlanc calls her songs "haunting, beautiful...extremely well crafted". Her music is shaped by longing, loss, and love, and pulses with intense emotion, that legendary Muscle shoals sound, and a fascination with the open road.

Grant Earl LaValley is an American singer-songwriter who left Ohio for the California desert. His dark, cinematic soundscapes have a glowing undertow of tenderness, vulnerability, and mystery. A kindred spirit with contemporary songwriters like Ryley Walker, LaValley also conjures images of a gothic Gene Clark collaborating with a desert-dwelling Bonnie “Prince” Billy---with the blessing of Townes Van Zandt.

What's all the racket at the WVCC?

As if the bombing isn't loud enough, now there's something amiss with the generator for our 80' palm tree cell tower. It's making a lot of noise which seems to get louder if you're in the general direction it is pointed. (Sorry, Darlene!)

I called American Tower, who then called Verizon. They're sending out a guy tomorrow to fix it up. Sorry for the trouble.

I sent them a picture of the problem and they promised it is no danger to anyone.

UPDATE: All fixed now.

Bill Hillyard's Indieagogo fund raiser

About 50 - 60 people attended Bill's local author reading at the Wonder Valley Community Center last Saturday. The audience consisted of a few people who are actually in the book, curious locals, and fans from far away.

Attendance was $2 and included free Mexican sodas, chips and salsa, and jicama with chili powder, courtesy of the Friends of Wonder Valley, the organization that hosted the event. The money raised will go toward the Mobile Medical Unit which will be at the WVCC later this month.

Bill Hillyard has 30 days to raise enough money to publish his book. Please help make this happen and earn some cool and amusing premiums -- including a homestead cabin! Check it out.

Services for Robert Adams

Robert William Adams died on January 13, 2019. Everyone knew him as "Vietnam Bob," but when I asked him about the nickname, he said he preferred "Very Nice Bob."

Bob and I shared many a drink together before breakfast at The Palms on Sunday mornings. Toward the end Bob would visit me on Monday and Wednesday at the Wonder Valley Community Center where a small group of local meet for coffee.

Bob was born on June 11, 1961 and died on January 13, 2019 at the age of 57. Graveside services will take place on Wednesday, February 13 from 2:15 to 2:45 p.m. at Riverside National Cemetery, 22495 Van Buren Boulevard, in Riverside.

Bob will be greatly missed. 

Crime Stats January 2019

There were fewer call, but more reports and arrest in the Crime Stats for January 2019. The numbers for January 2015 were provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. They stopped providing us these numbers in October of 2016. Teresa Sitz, the former MAC Delegate for Wonder Valley, has been teasing our stats out of media reports since May of 2017. The stats are unofficial, and there is a small margin of error.

A change in numbers does not reflect a change in service. A change in numbers can reflect a change in the willingness to call the Sheriff's Department, with reports and arrests adjusting in response.

If you call the Sheriff's Department, ALWAYS ask for an INCIDENT NUMBER. Please write it down.

There were three arrests noted but one of the arrest was for 3 people, a father, mother, and daughter that came all the way from White Feather to do their work.
