Sky’s the Limit Observatory and Nature Center invites stargazers to enjoy the desert night sky on Saturday, September 3 at a free public event that begins at 8:00 pm and ends around 12:00 am. The Observatory is at 9697 Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms, just outside the north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.
Volunteers will set up a variety of kinds and sizes of telescopes on the winding sidewalks, and guests are welcome to use them or may bring their own binoculars and scopes as well. The presentation is very casual, so come at any time and leave when you wish. Bring a red flashlight to preserve night vision.
The evening features a grand tour of the cosmos beginning with Mars and ringed planet Saturn, followed by a selection of the finest deep sky highlights from the summer sky including the Lagoon and Swan Nebulae, the Wild Duck Cluster, and ruby red carbon star V Aquilae. This time of year marks the return of the Great Andromeda Galaxy in the northeast, the brightest galaxy in the sky.
Prominent constellations are Sagittarius (the Archer), Delphinus (the Dolphin), Aquila (the Eagle), Cygnus (the Swan), Lyra (the Harp), and Cassiopeia (the Seated Queen). The campus is always open, so arrive around sunset to allow time to visit other educational attractions before the cosmic tour begins at dark. Dress for unpredictable desert weather and bring snacks, water bottles, and chairs. Children under 16 must be accompanied by adults. No pets and no smoking allowed on the STL campus, and visitors must carry out all trash.
The seasonal sky is very unpredictable and a viewing event may have to be delayed, rescheduled, or cancelled due to cloudiness, rain, or excessive wind. Check Sky’s The Limit Facebook Page or follow @STL29Palms to learn the latest status of an event, or call Steve at (760) 401-3004.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Maria Echeverria has suffered family tragedies, serious health issues, physical violence, and cared for a parent with dementia. She could have blamed God, walked away from Him, and settled for the role of victim. Instead, she made the decision to cling to Him and to be a survivor—to be a woman of faith who chooses to live in His Light. Maria emigrated as a teenager, with her family, from Mexico to Los Angeles where she graduated at the top of her high school class. She worked her way through college, majoring in Administration and Public Relations. She completed graduate studies in Pastoral Ministry and Theology at Loyola Marymount. She is a mother and proud wife of a Deacon as well as an active member of her parish. She and her husband have devoted many years to marriage ministry. Maria has also actively supported her community through Friends and Families of Murder Victims, Walk for Hunger, and the American Cancer Society. In 2005 Maria became the first Latina laywoman to hold the position of a diocesan Vice Chancellor in the United States. Come and meet this grace-filled woman whose courage under fire once again proves that the Holy Spirit is alive and well. Bring a friend!

MULTI-TALENTED INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR CARLOS VIVES IS COMING TO FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO IN SEPTEMBER
MULTI-TALENTED INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR CARLOS VIVES IS COMING TO FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO IN SEPTEMBER

09-10-2016
August 10, 2016 – INDIO, CA – Two-time Grammy and nine-time Latin Grammy winning international superstar Carlos Vives is hot. Fresh off a sold-out tour with Marc Anthony and riding the wave of an unforgettable video with Shakira, Vives will be shaking things up at the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, September 10th.
Carlos Vives first shot to stardom acting in a number of shows and telenovelas in his home country of Colombia. Though he released a few albums during this period, his fans discovered he had a real talent for music when he was cast in the leading role of a fantasy series based on the life of vallenato composer Rafael Escalona. He soon followed that acting role up with an album, Clásicos de la Provincia, which fused rock, pop, Carribean and Colombian rhythms and became a massive hit.
Vives’ albums after the success of Clásicos de la Provincia proved to be just as popular, spawning the hit singles “Fruta Fresca,” “Déjame Entrar,” “Volví a Nacer,” “Cuando Nos Volvamos a Encontrar,” and “La Foto de los Dos.” Earlier this year, Vives’ smash hit single “La Bicicleta” featuring fellow Colombian singer Shakira was released as a single. The blockbuster video for the song was filmed in Colombia in each of their home cities and the song debuted at the number one spot on Billboard’s US Latin Airplay chart and number four on the US Hot Latin Songs chart.
Carlos Vives is married to former Miss Colombia Claudia Elena Vásquez and they have 2 children. He spends his time between Miami and Colombia, mainly Santa Marta and Bogotá.
Tickets for the 8pm Carlos Vives show on Saturday, September 10th go on sale Friday, August 12th for $109, $89, $69, and $49 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via telephone at 800-827-2946 or online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com.

Offering 2,000 of the hottest slots, world-class table games, entertainment, hotel, dining and golf at Eagle Falls, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino stands to meet and exceed the needs of its guests and the community.

Media Bias Questioned at Lifetree Café
Media Bias Questioned at Lifetree Café
4:00 PM-6:00 PM
09-11-2016
Bias in the news media will be explored at Lifetree Café on Sunday, 11 September at 4 P.M..
The program–titled “Bias: What’s the Media’s Agenda?”–features filmed interviews with three current and former news journalists discussing the current state of bias in the media.
“I would say this is the most unprofessional period of American journalism I can recall in the last 30 years,” says David Aikman, a former correspondent for Time. “It’s just been extraordinarily unquestioning and dismissive of opposition viewpoints”
During the program, participants will have an opportunity to discuss what level of tilt they see in the news media.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located behind Little Church of the Desert in Twentynine Palms at Ocotillo Avenue and Veterans Way.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Brad White-Findeisen at 760-217-2597 or scoutmaster229@gmail.com.

Hi-Desert Medical Center will offer a six-week smoking cessation program facilitated by Stan Joyce, Director of Cardiopulmonary Services. The program is based on a seven-step process which allows the smoker to access personal reasons to quit. It also will focus on understanding the addiction and learning simple and effective techniques to keep from smoking.
“This smoking cessation program is unique in that it recognizes no two smokers are alike,” says Stan Joyce. “We work together to figure out why we smoke, and what triggers the urge to light up. The group atmosphere also helps us build a support network to stay quit.”
Sessions are conducted from 1:00—2:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons beginning September 14 and concluding October 12 in the Helen Gray Education Center at Hi-Desert Medical Center. There is no fee for this course. Registration is requested.

Bullying Examined at Lifetree Café
Techniques and strategies for coping with bullies will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Sunday, 18 September at 4 P.M.
The program, titled “Confronting Bullies: At School, Work, and Home,” features a filmed interview with Scott Larson, who explains, “You have three parties involved when it comes to bullying. There are the bully, the victim, and the bystanders. Most people, as bystanders, don’t think they contribute to bullying, but that is probably the group that has the most power.”
During the program, participants will have the opportunity to tell of times they’ve faced bullying and how it impacted their lives. Students are invited to join in the conversation by sharing their stories.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located behind Little Church of the Desert in Twentynine Palms on Veterans Way and Ocotillo Avenue.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Brad White-Findeisen at 760-217-2597 or scoutmaster229@gmail.com.

Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center invites stargazers to enjoy the desert night sky on Saturday, September 24 at a free public event that begins at 7:30 pm and ends around 11:30 pm. The Observatory is at 9697 Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms, just outside the main (north) entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.
Take a telescopic tour of the cosmos beginning with striking clusters and nebulae in the summer Milky Way. Catch a view of four planets: Saturn, Mars, Neptune, and Uranus.
Observe one of the largest red supergiant stars in our galaxy, the deep orange-colored Garnet Star. Later on, the Great Andromeda Galaxy and Double Cluster will both be visible to the naked eye. Prominent constellations are Sagittarius (the Archer), Aquila (the Eagle), Cygnus (the Swan), Lyra (the Harp), Pegasus (the Winged Horse), and Cassiopeia (the Seated Queen).
Volunteers will set up a variety of kinds and sizes of telescopes on the winding sidewalks, and guests are welcome to use them or may bring their own binoculars and scopes as well. The presentation is very casual, so come at any time and leave when you wish. Bring a red flashlight to preserve night vision.
The campus is always open, so arrive around sunset to allow time to visit other educational attractions before the cosmic tour begins at dark. Dress for unpredictable desert weather and bring snacks, water bottles, and chairs. Children under 16 must be accompanied by adults. No pets and no smoking allowed on the STL campus, and visitors must carry out all trash.
The seasonal sky is very unpredictable and a viewing event may have to be delayed, rescheduled, or cancelled due to cloudiness, rain, or excessive wind. Check Sky’s The Limit Facebook Page or follow @STL29Palms to learn the latest status of an event, or call Steve at (760) 401-3004.
For more information and to see photos taken through STL’s 14” Celestron Schmidt–Cassegrain telescope, visit the STL web site at www.skysthelimit29.org. STL is an affiliate of the Basin Wide Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Donations to support Sky’s The Limit’s educational programs are gratefully accepted.

Smoking Cessation Series
Smoking Cessation Series
1:00 PM-2:00 PM
09-28-2016
Hi-Desert Medical Center will offer a six-week smoking cessation program facilitated by Stan Joyce, Director of Cardiopulmonary Services. The program is based on a seven-step process which allows the smoker to access personal reasons to quit. It also will focus on understanding the addiction and learning simple and effective techniques to keep from smoking.
“This smoking cessation program is unique in that it recognizes no two smokers are alike,” says Stan Joyce. “We work together to figure out why we smoke, and what triggers the urge to light up. The group atmosphere also helps us build a support network to stay quit.”
Sessions are conducted from 1:00—2:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons beginning September 14 and concluding October 12 in the Helen Gray Education Center at Hi-Desert Medical Center. There is no fee for this course. Registration is requested.
Register by calling the reservation line at (760) 366-6182; walk-ins will be accepted.
