COVER<br />
Lots happening this<br />
day. Mitt Romney<br />
just voted that<br />
Trump is GUILTY.<br />
This will tarnish<br />
his administration<br />
forever, His twitter<br />
response was to mock<br />
all elections.<br />
Sad to say Kirk<br />
Douglas, legendary<br />
Hollywood tough guy,<br />
is dead at 103. There<br />
have not been many<br />
actors of merit beside<br />
this man. Although<br />
he was softer in<br />
his later years, he<br />
singlehandedly<br />
shaped Toxic Male<br />
Masculinity that<br />
ruined the lives of<br />
many boys. But I<br />
loved him.<br />
We are very pleased<br />
to see Cathedral City<br />
continue to grow as a<br />
livable city with world<br />
class events like the<br />
upcoming<br />
The 5th Annual<br />
Taste of Jalisco<br />
celebrates the sister<br />
city relationship<br />
between Cathedral<br />
City and Tequila,<br />
Jalisco (Mexico)<br />
through music,<br />
fashion, spirits,<br />
culture and cuisine.<br />
Activities include<br />
live musical and<br />

Mexican-inspired<br />
food, tequila tasting,<br />

Following the tragic helicopter accident<br />
on Sunday, January 26, that took the life<br />
of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gianna,<br />
and 7 other people in the hills near<br />
Calabasas, California, artists throughout<br />
Southern California and others in the<br />
U.S. have created or are in the process of<br />
creating murals and other art to<br />
memorialize Kobe.<br />
In Los Angeles, Hundreds of fans came<br />
to the sites where murals were being<br />
created and left flowers, photos, and<br />
other memorial items. Art and sports<br />
have always had an association, especially<br />
in regard to team logos and visual<br />
artifacts. Latinos are known to create<br />
memorial murals which are evident in<br />
L.A. The ban on wall murals in L.Al was<br />
evicted in 2013 which opened up the<br />
avenue for mural artists to create more<br />
work that is now visible throughout the<br />
Los Angeles area. One of the prominent<br />
murals to Kobe shown in this article<br />
was created by the muralist Muckrock<br />
collaborating with MR79. They began<br />
working on the mural the day after the<br />
tragic event.<br />
Another unique short-lived mural was<br />
created in Pleasanton, California on the<br />
outfield grounds of a Bay area baseball<br />
field. The mural was created by New<br />
Ground Technology which creates<br />
visual images on playing fields. The<br />
image is created by flattening, blowing,<br />
and cutting grass in different directions<br />
forming the image The image in this<br />

Basketball". The film was written and<br />
narrated by Kobie with the drawing<br />
animation by Glen Kean and music by John<br />
Williams. It won the Academy Award for<br />
the best short animated film in the 2015-<br />
16 season. A still drawing from the film is<br />
displayed in this article.<br />
encourages young children to stay active<br />
through sports and is also provides financial<br />
assistance to raise awareness of issues in<br />
communities through educational and<br />
cultural enrichment opportunities. Kobe<br />
Bryant. an athletic superstar and community<br />
activist is deserving of the accolades of the<br />
visual artists and others who are mourning<br />
his death through visual remembrances.<br />

<strong>THE</strong> ALEXANDER FAMILY, Civic Pioneers, Builders, & Humanitarians to be<br />
Honored on World Famous Walk of the Stars on Friday, February 14th<br />
Date: 02/05/<strong>2020</strong><br />

Phone: (760) 325-1577<br />
Palm Springs, CA – February 5, <strong>2020</strong> – The Alexander Family – George and Mildred and son, Robert and his wife, Helene<br />
– mid-century modern home builders and civic leaders will be posthumously honored with the 439 th star on the City’s<br />
world-famous Walk of the Stars Palm Springs on Friday, February 14th, <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
The Star Dedication, organized by the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce, is FREE<br />
and open to the public and will take place from 2pm-3pm. The Alexander Family’s<br />
star will be installed on the sidewalk outside Palm Springs Art Museum’s Architecture<br />
and Design Center located at 300 South Palm Canyon Drive at the southwest corner<br />
of the property. The event will be emceed by Palm Springs Mayor Geoff Kors and<br />
Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce CEO Nona Watson. The Alexander Family star<br />
dedication speakers include actress Ruta Lee; VP for the Boys and Girls Club of Palm<br />
Springs, Rick Werlin; Alexander Family star organizer, David Hyams; and Palm<br />
Springs ModCom member & preservationist, Joan Gand. Jill Kitnick, the daughter of<br />
Robert and Helene, will accept the star on her family’s behalf.<br />
"I am overjoyed to be celebrating my family and the beautiful and thoughtful contributions they made to this wonderful<br />
city,” said Jill Kitnick. “I love that my maiden name has become a noun: ‘I live in an Alexander - I remodeled an Alexander<br />
- I flipped an Alexander.’”<br />
Beginning in 1956 with the construction of the Ocotillo Lodge, the Alexander Construction Company became the masters<br />
in modern building in the Coachella Valley; a style that has become quintessential to the mid-century look and feel of<br />
Palm Springs. For over 10 years, the Alexanders were serious builders who wanted to bring stylish and modern homes to<br />
average middle class homeowners. The Alexander Construction Company was not just a builder of tract homes, they were<br />
also effective marketers who understood the importance of curb appeal. They proved it was possible to build modern<br />
new neighborhoods quickly and efficiently by applying simple, clean design with some prefabricated components in the<br />
construction, and running the development much like a mass assembly line in a Detroit auto plant.<br />
Over 2,500 Alexanders were built with designs by architects Daniel Palmer, William Krisel, Charles DuBois, Donald<br />
Wexler, and Richard Harrison in several neighborhoods in and around Palm Springs. The first Alexander development<br />
was the Twin Palms Estates in 1957 followed by Racquet Club Road Estates, plus over 300 homes in the Vista Las Palmas<br />
neighborhood that quickly became favored by Hollywood movie stars and moguls.<br />
In 1960, Robert Alexander built the House of Tomorrow for his family. Also, in the Vista<br />
Las Palmas neighborhood, the home was designed by the modernist architect, William<br />
Krisel. Elvis Presley and his new wife, Priscilla, made the home famous during their<br />
honeymoon stay in 1968. The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway, as it is known today, is visited<br />
by thousands annually.<br />
Their legacy includes their leadership and involvement in civic activities and organizations<br />
such as the World Adoption International Fund, the Boys Club (now Boys & Girls Club of Palm Springs), the legendary<br />
Desert Circus and more. The Alexander Family are credited for doubling the size of Palm Springs in a single decade and<br />
are still recognized today as leading civic pioneers in Palm Springs.<br />
"George, Mildred, Robert, and Helene loved Palm Springs and contributed so much to make our city what it is today,” said<br />
Alexander Family star organizer, David Hyams. “It has been my honor and privilege to spend the last year organizing this<br />
well-deserved and long overdue recognition.<br />
”Walk of the Stars and the Chamber of Commerce are proud to partner with the City of Palm Springs as we recognize and<br />
honor the prolific Alexanders and their architectural legacy,” said Palm Springs Chamber CEO, Nona Watson.<br />
