Miles Bates “Wave” House (1955)
Architect: Walter S. White
Dates open: February 21-23, $30
The Miles Bates House — known as the Wave House for
its curving roof that mimics the San Jacinto mountains behind
it — is being opened publicly for the first time since
its remarkable restoration. It was one of more than forty
houses in and around Palm Desert designed by local-born
Walter S. White. In 2018 this home became the first Palm
Desert landmark to be listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. Purchased that spring by Stayner Architects,
a family-run
architecture and development firm based in Los Angeles,
the Wave House has been lovingly and meticulously
restored to Walter White’s original designs.

Bohannan was diagnosed with prostate
cancer in August 2019. His reaction to the
news, his search for the proper treatment
through a maze of doctors and other survivors
and some difficult nights dealing with the
realities of cancer prompted him to write a
column to his readers in November 2019
about his cancer journey. In December he
underwent robotic surgery and returned to
work just two days before New Year’s Day.
He has been the golf writer and columnist for the
Desert Sun since 1986. A 1982 graduate of Cal
State Fullerton with a B.A. in Communications, he
worked at the Hi-Desert Star in Yucca Valley from
1982 to 1986 before joining the Desert Sun in 1986.
As the principle golf writer for the paper since then,
he has covered events on the PGA Tour, LPGA
Tour, PGA Tour Champions and other professional
events in the desert and throughout California. He
also covered high school, college and amateur golf
in the desert.
His columns and stories have won numerous
Associated Press Sports Editors and California
Newspaper Publishers Association awards. In
2012, he was named the California Golf Writers
and Broadcasters Association’s Media Man of the
Year. He is the author of two books about golf in
the Coachella Valley, “Fifty Years of Hope” on the
first 50 years of the Bob Hope Classic, and “Palm
Springs Golf: A History of Coachella Valley Legends
and Fairways” documenting the beginnings and the
rise of the game in the desert.
The American Cancer Society offers services

and programs throughout the Coachella Valley,
including transportation to appointments, wigs,
and lodging. Services can be scheduled using
the toll-free number (800) 227-2345 or visit www.
cancer.org. The American Cancer Society is
the largest non-governmental funder of cancer
research having invested more than $4.8
billion since the 1940s with 49 of their funded
researchers being awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize.
The American Cancer Society fights for every
life threatened by every type of cancer in every
community. The work we do impacts everyone
regardless of where the funds are raised. By
taking what we’ve learned through research and
turning it into what we do, we have contributed
to a 27 percent decrease in the overall cancer
death rate since 1991. This decline translates to
more than 2.6 million deaths prevented.

EBERHARD ANHEUSER, MEET ADOLPHUS BUSCH
“It is my aim to win the American people
over ... to make them all lovers of
beer.” - Adolphus Busch (1905)
Our founder, Adolphus Busch, journeyed to America
from Germany in 1857, determined to make his dreams
come true. Adolphus wasted no time once he landed in
St. Louis, and started work at a brewing supply company.
Among his clients was Eberhard Anheuser (the name
might sound familiar), who owned what was then known
as E. Anheuser & Company. Adolphus married Eberhard’s
daughter, Lilly, in 1861.
After fighting for the Union during the Civil War, Adolphus
joined his father-in-law’s business, bringing big, ambitious
ideas with him. Adolphus’s entrepreneurial spirit and sales
prowess contributed enormously to the brewery’s growth.
By 1875, Adolphus was named secretary-treasurer, and
in 1879, the company’s name was officially changed to
Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association. After Eberhard’s
passing in 1880, Adolphus became president.
A LESSON IN INNOVATION
Adolphus was drawn to St. Louis because of the city’s
large German population. But a large German population
meant a lot of beer, which in turn meant a lot of competition
for Adolphus and Eberhard’s brewery. Luckily, Adolphus
was a talented salesman with an eye for innovation.
He wasn’t about to be discouraged by competition.
Recognizing the need to expand outside of St. Louis to
places with a less-crowded beer market, Adolphus stayed
close to emerging technologies and developments that
could make expansion possible. One major development
was pasteurization, which increased the shelf life of bottled
beers by up to four months, and allowed for further
shipping. In fact, Adolphus pasteurized his beer before
America pasteurized milk.
Refrigerated rail cars also helped Adolphus ship his beer
across long distances, but they were expensive. He took
matters into his own hands and started a company to
build the rail cars faster, and for less money. A network
of rail-side ice houses followed shortly after, and before
long, Anheuser-Busch was taking the entire country by
storm.
