Sequels to successful plays, mov-ies, or TV series are often fraught with uncertainty and trepidation of not be-ing able to live up to the original work. “Forever Plaid” creator, writer, choreog-rapher, and director Stuart Ross, makes sure that his old fans and new fans alike, need not have worried about his sequel disappointing his audiences. This spar-kling Christmas Holiday production con-tinues the musical journey where the original show left off.

The story of “Plaid Tidings” con-tinues the celestial journey of the 1950’s singing group whose lives were lost in an accident involving a busload of teens en route to see “The Ed Sullivan Show”. In the sequel, the Plaids are encouraged by a heavenly phone call from Rosemary Clooney, urging the high-spirited, four-part harmony boys of “Forever Plaid” – Frankie, Sparky, Jinx, and Smudge, to once more, return to Mother Earth from the ethereal cosmos, to stage a nostalgic musical singing extravaganza for world-weary inhabitants on our troubled plan-et.

The show is chock full of such standards as “Mr. Santa,” “Let it Snow”, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, and “Home For The Holidays. These are among more than thirty-four songs, and musical numbers that are cleverly and freshly arranged by James Raitt, Brad Ellis, Raymond Berg, and David Snyder. Snyder’s fingerprints are all over this

wonderful Holiday show. He’s princi-pally responsible for the superb musical continuity and vocal arrangements in the show, all under the watchful eye of director Stuart Ross.

“Forever Plaid” was presented at The Old Globe in the summer of 1991 and soon became the hottest show of that year. It was such an overwhelming success, the production returned for a second two-month engagement the fol-lowing November. Fans kept pressing for a sequel to the ever-popular story of the Four Plaids. Ross, clever fellow that he is, understands that everything on earth has a season and a time for doing what all talented and successful creators do – they write a sequel.

“Plaid Tidings” may sport a new cast in this iteration, but the magic is still there. The cast of “Plaid Tidings – A Special Holiday Edition of Forever Plaid” stars four extremely talented singers, dancers, and actors: David Brannen as Sparky, Leo Daignault as Jinx, Jason Heil as Smudge, and Michael Winther as Frankie. The quartette is the epitome of a smooth-working ensemble who send-out the vibe that they really enjoy work-ing together. Their production numbers highlighting various songs, such as “Ja-maica Farewell”, “Kingston Market” “Mo-ments To Remember” “Mele Kalikimaka”, “Let It Snow”, and “Carol of the Bells” (where they bring onstage an audience member to help with the number), are

splendidly clever and creatively staged. The musical selections in the show give each star an opportunity to show his individual stuff. And there’s plenty of “stuff” from this “fab four” to show their audience.

The state-of-the-art, 250-seat Sheryl and Harvey White venue is a good fit for this Holiday show. We get to see the entire stage area being used by Ross, as he put his energetic cast through their paces. There isn’t a dull moment in this musical valentine to four-part har-mony groups. According to Ross, The Plaids perform in the style of the great 50’s and 60’s groups like: The Four Lads, the Hi Lo’s, The Four Freshmen, and The Four Aces.

“Plaid Tidings – A Special Holi-day Edition of Forever Plaid” is a Holiday show for the entire family, but it really resonates with folks over 50. However, I did see some under-twelve year olds on opening night who seemed to be really involved with the on-stage antics of the four Plaids. The show runs through De-cember 26th.

Three time Mayor of DHS Matt Weyuker

By Matt Weyuker

W ell, justice fans – have the State “Supremes” done it again? American students

and California taxpayers are getting the short end of the stick!!!

The California State Supreme Court recently ruled that ILLEGAL ALIENS CAN ATTEND COLLEGE PAYING THE IN-STATE TUITION RATE, while the California taxpayers foot the bill. At the same time, AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN OTHER STATES CANNOT!

The controversial decision came about as the result of a suit filed in 2005 by 42 US born students and their parents, arguing that the 2001 California law which extended to “UNDOCUMENTED ILLEGALS” the “RIGHT” to pay the in-state tuition in the state’s colleges and universities was unfair to both in-state and out-of-state American born students.

California is one of only nine states, which allow illegal aliens to pay in-state tuition rates. The class action suit argued that over 60,000 American born students have illegally been forced to pay the much higher out-of-state tuition fees to attend the state’s higher learning institutions. As a comparison – the University of California’s in-state tuition is about $6,800 per year, while “out-of-staters” pay a whopping $24,589! Why the huge disparity? Because the state’s taxpayers pay the difference to

finance their own children’s attendance at these colleges and universities. Out-of-state students, not being “legal” California residents, are not “entitled” to the taxpayer subsidy. However, illegal aliens who have spent at least three years attending California high schools are considered to be “legal” California residents, and therefore “entitled” to pay the in-state tuition rate. Should they be – even though they are actually illegal aliens?

Here is the worst of it – when the 42 students and their parents in their lawsuit asked the University of California, the State University, and several California community colleges about the number of illegal aliens they had enrolled in its institutions, these schools of “higher learning” answer was ludicrous! They responded that they don’t maintain records on that information. The University of California finally “admitted” they only had 407 “UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS”. The facts do not bear that “information” out.. California colleges and universities actually average a financially staggering 15,000 ILLEGAL ALIEN STUDENTS!!!

That incredible number of illegal students translates in California taxpayer dollars to over an unbelievable TWO HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR!!! This means that the state’s taxpayers are saddled with a whopping $17,800 for each of the four

years that every ILLEGAL ALIEN who attends a California college or university.

Because of this latest unjustly insane ruling by the state “Supremes,” I believe every American student and taxpayer will feel its impact – and soon. Multiply the staggering amount that California’s taxpayers are shelling out to keep these thousands of illegal aliens in the state’s higher learning institutions by the nine states, which offer illegal alien students the in-state tuition rates. You will be amazed at the massive amount of taxpayer subsidy – it is over TWO BILLION, FOUR HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY! Many of the taxpayers who reside in these nine states cannot get the same in-state tuition for their children – but the ILLEGAL ALIEN STUDENTS CAN! This is the most covert taxation heist that most American citizen taxpayers in these nine states don’t realize that they are paying! Most taxpaying Americans think the $6,800 that each illegal pays for in-state tuition covers the costs of their education. This is how progressivism works. Make the little lie work, and then expand it.

I place the blame on the unbelievable high number of illegal alien students at the feet of the federal government. If we had more secure borders, the American people would feel safer – and we wouldn’t have the vast number of illegal alien students – and rightly so.

AND RIGHTLY SO

T he 13th Annual Holiday Voices Gala was held at Rancho Las Palmas Resort

and Spa on Dec. 3rd, This wonderful Christmas event is a highlight of the season for Eisenhower Medical center. 2 well deserved honorees were given high awards in excellence at Eisenhower Hospital.

Special recognition was given to Honorary Co-Chairs Harry and Joy Goldstein. Harry is a former chairman of Eisenhower and continues to serve as chairman Emeritas and a Director. He has garnered many awards in his career. Eisenhower became one of the top 100 hospitals during his tenure as chairman. He stressed excellence in patient care. With his expertise, the Lucy Curci Cancer Center and Smilow Heart Center were opened along with other expansions at Eisenhower. Joy Goldstein was a major force in Fundraising efforts.

Two Physicians were given the Ei-senhower Medical Center Distinguished Service Award for outstanding Patient care in their fields.

Enrique G. Jacome MD and Robert Waterbor MD,PhD, FACP were chosen by their peers for these honors. These 2 men have exhibited excellent patient care at Eisenhower for many years.

Doctor Jacome is a gynecologist and has received the highest praise for his work in robotic surgeries perform-ing over 200. He is a leader in minimally invasive surgeries and has performed over 1500 laparoscopic surgeries. He is the first physician in Riverside County to

perform Surgery using the da Vinci S-HD robotic system.

The future for Eisenhower is very exciting. Paperwork has been submitted to make Eisenhower a teaching Hospital by 2013. That could see up to 50 new resident Doctors here. It would be a step forward to bringing some of the top doctors to our Valley. Eisenhower recently opened a new hospital area on campus. Last month two new outpa-tient centers were opened.

The Dennis James Golf Classic held their 15th annual Gala at Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa on Sunday Dec. 5th. Golfers and Celebrity players joined in the festivities starting with a silent auction of golf packages, dinners, hotel stays and other items too numerous to mention. The Gala is held prior to the Golf Classic that is held on Monday Dec. 6th at Mission Hills Country Club.

Master of ceremonies was Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald, Dennis James son, Brad James and Greg Wetmore.

Fitz introduced a UCP center Video explaining what the charity does and who it helps. This moving video showed people that have been and are still being helped. Proceeds from the Gala and Golf Tournament benefit United Cerebral Palsy programs for Children with Developemental Disabilities. The charity is for all children with disabilities including Autism, Down Syndrome and many other physical and mental disabilities. Their motto is Life Without Limits for each client.

State funding was cut for many programs of UCP. With continued support UCP will be re-opening 3

after school programs suspended last year. State budget cuts have hurt so many charities that it is heartening to see People with big hearts helping by attending these events. These fundraisers are so extremely important in todays economy to keep the necessary benefits they provide alive.

Dennis James was a Television Pioneer. He hosted the first telethon for UCP in 1950. He continued with the telethon for 45 years and would have continued even longer if he could have. He passed away in 1997 and his wife Micki has continued to support this cause.

Entertainment was provided by the one and only Peter Marshall. He told us how he got started in show business at age 14. He was started in the business by none other than Al Jolson. He reminisced about his career and all the famous people that he met and those that helped him during his career. He sang songs from his era and some that were made famous by friends. He thrilled the guests with his renditions of these songs for over an hour. He is a true Celebrity.

Davis Gaines made an audience at the Annenberg Theater jump to its feet several times at his concert on November 27. I wished I felt the same.

In his opening number, “Hey, Look Me Over” from the Broadway musical “Wildcat”, Gaines walked offstage to greet members of the audience seated in the front row. When he took his microphone away from his mouth and I could not hear him, I felt like saying, “Hello! What about the rest of us not in the front row?” From that point forward, he lost me.

Gaines, the tenor best known for having played over 2000 performances in the title role of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, “The Phantom of The Opera” has a powerful, rich voice. It would have better served him to hit more than one note with it. Every song started out light, got very big when the key modulated, then finished on a light note. That’s good for one or two songs, but can’t possibly carry a performer through an entire concert.

Also, my date for the evening turned to me mid-concert to exclaim what a relaxing voice Gaines has. Next time I looked at my date, he was fast asleep.

Gaines’ patter in-between songs came across as forced and unnatural. A couple of times it seemed as if he had flubbed his lines. The spotlight on him throughout the performance cut him off at the knees. He has a youthful appearance, but his black suit blended into the dark background so much that it was difficult to tell where he ended and the background

began. He kept on asking his sound-man for “more of me”, meaning he wanted to hear more of himself out of the monitor speakers at the foot of the stage. I wished he had been more concerned with being himself then he was with hearing himself. A conceited, inward turned version of the Lerner and Lowe classic, “If Ever I Would Leave You” from “Camelot” didn’t help matters much.

I believe this one-note style of singing is indicative of an unspoken “epidemic’ in the Broadway community these days. An actor originating a role winds up being the paradigm for the actors who follow. If you play “Elphaba” in “Wicked”, it’s fine if you sound like Idina Menzel. If you play the “Phantom”, sounding like Michael Crawford wouldn’t hurt.

I have trained with a singing teacher for 10 years, one of the best in New York City. The first time she heard me sing in someone else’s style, she stopped me. She informed me that it is never going to be the way I think it is going to sound. She always taught me to sing in my own voice, no matter what the song or who originated it.

The evening was not without it’s high points. An exceptional three-piece combo featuring his Musical Director, Carol Anderson on piano, backed up Gaines. They are exceptional musicians, engaging and

thoroughly enjoyable. The arrangement Ms. Anderson wrote for “The Music of The Night” from “Phantom” was by far the best rendition of the song I have heard. Mr. Gaines’ performance of that song was the highlight of the evening.

I look forward to hearing Mr. Gaines perform again sometime in the future, though I hope he does not put my dates to sleep. That’s my job.

While the holiday season is one of the most joyous times of the year, it can also be one of the busiest. Days (and nights) are filled with shopping, cooking, gift wrapping and of course celebrating at holiday parties with family and friends.

So wherever the holiday season may take you, it is always important to get caught looking your absolute best.

“You don’t want to be caught off guard when you bump into someone while you’re doing last-minute holiday shopping,” says beauty expert Polly Blitzer. “If you make a habit of using the right beauty products from brands women trust - I love COVERGIRL, Pantene, Olay and Clairol - you’ll look good day or night, no matter where you’re going, and no matter what you’re doing.”

Now here are some more tips from Polly to help you get caught looking glamorous:

* Update your wardrobe with a few simple items for a new glam look at each gathering. Start with a simple dress (a new little black dress is usually the most versatile) and then accessorize with scarves, jewelry, shoes and handbags. One dress can be worn to many soirees just by switching up the accents; this way, you won’t have to spend a lot of money on several outfits.

* Puffiness and dark circles under your eyes don’t mix well with the stilettos and sequins you plan to wear to the sea-son’s hottest party. So try Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller to reduce under eye puffiness in 30 seconds and look fresh and radiant all season long.

* Foundation is the first step in creat-ing a flawless look, so make sure to pick a product that provides adequate cover-age, but also goes on sheer. COVERGIRL’s Simply Ageless Foundation provides a flawless finish without settling into fine lines and wrinkles throughout the day. It also goes on sheer, making imperfections

seem to disappear while improving skin condition over time.

* Don’t show up at the party with naked nails - head out to a salon or invite a friend over for a manicure. Smooth cuticles, buff rough nail edges, moisturize frequently and paint them with a neutral color that will work with many of your holiday styles.

* To ensure you’re not looking dreary like the winter weather, dial up your hair’s color and shine with Clairol Perfect 10 by Nice ‘n Easy. It gives hair high gloss, high shine and gorgeous color in just 10 minutes.

* And finally, don’t hide behind your dry, frizzy locks when the cameras start flashing. Pantene Pro-V Restore Beauti-ful Lengths Shine Enhance Replenishing Mask has an advanced formula to treat rough, dull hair and will leave your tresses looking and feeling smooth and silky.

“Most importantly, don’t forget to turn on your brilliant smile and rock your look with confidence every time you walk out the door,” says Blitzer.
