46 THE LAST WORD<br />
When you go online you have certain expectations.<br />
You can connect <strong>to</strong> whatever website you want, no<br />
matter how twisted <strong>and</strong> sick you are, within legal<br />
limits (Judge Moore) alleged. You expect that your<br />
cable or phone company isn’t screwing with the data<br />
<strong>and</strong> is connecting you <strong>to</strong> all websites, applications<br />
<strong>and</strong> content you choose. You expect <strong>to</strong> be in control<br />
of all your Internet, not just get a slice of the big pizza<br />
pie! That’s not a amore, that is Net Neutrality!<br />
Don’t let Trump’s FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, destroy<br />
Net Neutrality. Even if you don’t know what it is,<br />
you surely want equality <strong>and</strong> that is all we ask. That<br />
is all we need you <strong>to</strong> do. Call congress <strong>and</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p his<br />
plan, <strong>and</strong> tell your members of Congress <strong>to</strong> condemn<br />
Pai’s attack on the internet. We must do it<br />
<strong>to</strong>day, they will decide <strong>Dec</strong> 14! Activism <strong>to</strong>day acts<br />
on our future.<br />

COREY HAMILTON -<br />
MULTI-TALENTED ARTIST<br />
CRAFTSMAN-HWY 62 STU-<br />
DIO TOURS<br />
Corey Hamil<strong>to</strong>n is a Yucca Valley artist<br />
who has been creating art <strong>and</strong> designing<br />
<strong>and</strong> building cus<strong>to</strong>m made furniture for<br />
10 years. Corey is a local<br />
artist who credits his broad interest in<br />
art <strong>to</strong> his art teacher at high school, who<br />
is also his uncle, for introducing him<br />
<strong>to</strong> a variety of art mediums <strong>and</strong> techniques.<br />
Corey <strong>and</strong> his brother worked<br />
for their dad who owns a specialized<br />
construction company in the <strong>Palm</strong><br />
<strong>Springs</strong> area which helped <strong>to</strong> provide<br />
him experience in woodworking that he<br />
has carried in<strong>to</strong> his work with furniture<br />
design <strong>and</strong> wood sculpture.<br />
Corey paints, sculpts in wood, concrete<br />
<strong>and</strong> clay, draws <strong>and</strong> designs tat<strong>to</strong>os, creates<br />
faux paintings, murals, <strong>and</strong> details<br />
for architectural installations. When<br />
visiting his home/studio on the Hwy 62<br />
Tour it was evident of the multiple mediums<br />
he works with in his art <strong>and</strong> furniture<br />
designing. He especially thrives<br />
on furniture design <strong>and</strong> construction,<br />
precision work <strong>and</strong> craftsmanship is a<br />
primary emphasis in his creations. The<br />
pho<strong>to</strong> in this article shows him beside<br />
a wood sculpture of a coyote that is one<br />
half organic animal <strong>and</strong> the other side<br />
a cyber/robotic animal. <strong>This</strong> won the<br />
<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> Fine Arts Commission,<br />
juried award in February 2017.<br />
He invites prospective clients <strong>to</strong><br />
challenge him with a creative project<br />
encompassing his multi-talented<br />
ability <strong>to</strong> create. He says that the<br />
client will take pleasure in knowing<br />
that the piece designed for them is<br />
a reflection of their vision <strong>and</strong> that<br />
it is unique in the world.<br />

<strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> Concerts Offers<br />
Classical Variety for Its 60th<br />
Anniversary Season<br />
In the winter of 1958 a unique musical<br />
organization, called the <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> Community<br />
Concert Association, came <strong>to</strong> the<br />
Coachella Valley, ushering in more than half<br />
a century of high culture at affordable prices.<br />
Now called “PS Concerts,” the group operates<br />
with the same guiding spirit that began<br />
it sixty years ago this January.<br />
Each concert during the past six decades has<br />
been a celebration of the inspired genius of<br />
the men with names like Bach, Beethoven,<br />
Brahms, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Bernstein,<br />
Joplin – <strong>and</strong> many others <strong>from</strong> the Baroque,<br />
Classical, Romantic, Impressionist <strong>and</strong><br />
Modern eras of great music, not <strong>to</strong> mention<br />
an occasional nod <strong>to</strong> the inspirations <strong>from</strong><br />
Broadway <strong>and</strong> Hollywood.<br />
<strong>This</strong> season’s classical offerings are four concerts<br />
of varied interest including the Classical<br />
Interpretations of the Neave Trio (Jan.<br />
29); the Trumpet Virtuosities of Br<strong>and</strong>on<br />
Ridenour (Feb 12); Guitarist Andy Hackbarth’s<br />
Homage <strong>to</strong> Andres Segovia (Feb. 26),<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Keyboard Artistry of Thomas P<strong>and</strong>olfi<br />
(Mar. 21).<br />
The concerts will all take place at 7:30 p.m.<br />
in the Richards Center for the Arts, formerly<br />
called the <strong>Palm</strong> <strong>Springs</strong> High School Audi<strong>to</strong>rium.<br />
One of the most venerable <strong>and</strong> distinguished<br />
venues in the desert, the refurbished<br />
concert hall has been completely re-built,<br />
with many new perks <strong>and</strong> features, including<br />
new seats, new stage, new electronics <strong>and</strong><br />
lighting. Tickets are available at the door for<br />
$20 – or a full season pass for just $50.<br />
In spite of being the oldest performing arts<br />
organization in the Coachella Valley, <strong>and</strong><br />
with modest ticket prices that welcome<br />
everybody, PS Concerts is often called “the<br />
best kept secret in the desert.” It is a grass<br />
roots association of music lovers who gather<br />
in a series of meetings <strong>to</strong> plan their concert<br />
season each year. The concerts are financed<br />
by advance ticket sales <strong>and</strong> season tickets<br />
offer complimentary reciprocal participation<br />
in the concert events of 10 other Southern<br />
California “sister cities” in the Community<br />
Concert family.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
Our country is changing – sadly not for the<br />
better. I call every <strong>week</strong> for resistance – but<br />
we must remain civil in our resistance.<br />
The following is reprinted <strong>from</strong> the National<br />
Institute for Civil Discourse., ICMA, Weber<br />
Sh<strong>and</strong>wick, Powel Tate.<br />
White the methods of practicing civility<br />
aren’t new or revolutionary, they are largely<br />
being ignored <strong>to</strong>day. However, experts say<br />
practicing these common suggestions will<br />
have a measurable impact on overcoming<br />
incivility.<br />
Seek out a variety of reliable news sources<br />
with different perspectives.<br />
Allow others <strong>to</strong> speak, <strong>and</strong> listen closely <strong>to</strong><br />
build mutual underst<strong>and</strong>ing.<br />
Don’t blame your opponent for everything<br />
that goes wrong.<br />
Underst<strong>and</strong> that people aren’t morally bankrupt<br />
if they hold an opposing viewpoint<br />
Speak calmly <strong>and</strong> avoid shouting.<br />
Don’t try <strong>to</strong> win arguments at any cost.<br />
Avoid social media conflicts, <strong>and</strong> refrain<br />
<strong>from</strong> posting inflamma<strong>to</strong>ry content.<br />
Don’t lie or exaggerate <strong>to</strong> convince people of<br />
your point.<br />
Seek common ground in your conversations.<br />
Avoid rumors <strong>and</strong> gossip, <strong>and</strong> don’t perpetuate<br />
them.<br />
other person <strong>to</strong> have a dialogue with you.<br />
Don’t jump <strong>to</strong> conclusions or assume you<br />
know what another person’s thinking.<br />
Start or join a civility group in your workplace.<br />
Well, that’s it for this <strong>week</strong>. RESIST - civilly!!!<br />
Don’t hesitate <strong>to</strong> email me with comments,<br />
questions or just thoughts at greg@gregpettis.com.<br />
I’d be happy <strong>to</strong> hear <strong>from</strong> you any<br />
time.<br />
