Valerio Lov<strong>in</strong>o who represents DAP as an organizer<br />

and promoter, is responsible for assist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

establish<strong>in</strong>g this show and the collaboration with<br />

Desert Patio. The first artist we feature is Robert<br />

E. Reeves. Robert creates wood sculptures and<br />

functional art pieces from furniture <strong>to</strong> hats. He<br />

migrated here from San Francisco <strong>in</strong> 1990 where<br />

he had been a city planner. He had always been<br />

<strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> art although his college degree is <strong>in</strong><br />

architecture he cont<strong>in</strong>ued <strong>to</strong> pursue his <strong>in</strong>terest<br />

<strong>in</strong> art. He creates his art from wood. First he<br />

designs the sculpture project that he is plann<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

keep<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d the thickest part that will need<br />

more layers of the sheet wood that is used <strong>in</strong> the<br />

sculpture. The sheets are lam<strong>in</strong>ated <strong>to</strong> be ready<br />

<strong>to</strong> carve the sculpture or functional piece. The<br />

f<strong>in</strong>al result is an attractive creation. The largest<br />

piece he is exhibit<strong>in</strong>g is a male runn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong>rso, a<br />

bit larger than life size, as shown <strong>in</strong> the pho<strong>to</strong>. He<br />

also creates wood<br />

hats, <strong>in</strong> a variety<br />

of styles, featured<br />

<strong>in</strong> his display. He<br />

is shown wear<strong>in</strong>g<br />

one <strong>in</strong> the pho<strong>to</strong><br />

at the show. More<br />

of Robert’s work<br />

is available on his<br />

web site: www.<br />

com. He can<br />

be contacted<br />

through his email at shaper@earthl<strong>in</strong>k.net.<br />

This is Thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g week, visual and perform<strong>in</strong>g<br />

artists have contributed <strong>to</strong> enhanc<strong>in</strong>g our lives <strong>to</strong><br />

reflect on where we are <strong>in</strong> his<strong>to</strong>ry through 2 and<br />

3 dimensional visual art, music and perform<strong>in</strong>g<br />

arts.<br />

We have just completed an his<strong>to</strong>ric election.<br />

Donald Trump one of the most controversial<br />

<strong>in</strong>dividuals ever elected, has been narrowly selected<br />

by the elec<strong>to</strong>ral college, <strong>to</strong> by the President<br />

elect. When his selected vice presidential choice,<br />

Mike Pence, was attend<strong>in</strong>g the Broadway hit show<br />

“Hamil<strong>to</strong>n” last Friday even<strong>in</strong>g, he was provided<br />

with a curta<strong>in</strong> call speech by ac<strong>to</strong>r Brandon Dixon<br />

who plays Aaron Burrr. He said: “We,sir, are<br />

the diverse America who are alarmed and anxious<br />

that your new adm<strong>in</strong>istration will not protect us,<br />

our planet, our children, our parents, or defend us<br />

and uphold our <strong>in</strong>alienable rights,”. He went on <strong>to</strong><br />

say, “We truly hope this show has <strong>in</strong>spired you <strong>to</strong><br />

uphold our American values and work on behalf<br />

of all of us.”<br />

As our LGBT community celebrates Thanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

we need <strong>to</strong> be m<strong>in</strong>dful that we have a new<br />

adm<strong>in</strong>istration that does not respect the diversity<br />

of our lives and of many others who are not of the<br />

category that they f<strong>in</strong>d “acceptable”. Our thanks<br />

should go out <strong>to</strong> artists of all genres who use<br />

their talents <strong>to</strong> rem<strong>in</strong>d the Trump adm<strong>in</strong>istration<br />

that the United States is INCLUSIVE. HAPPY<br />

THANKSGIV-<br />

Cont<strong>in</strong>ued from page 26<br />

After Jim and Dave separated <strong>in</strong> 2004,<br />

Dave moved <strong>to</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs where he<br />

became one of the Co-owners of the<br />

Barracks Bar. He quickly settled <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> the<br />

<strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs lifestyle, bought a home and<br />

became immersed <strong>in</strong> the social fabric of the<br />

city. He jo<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs Leather Order<br />

of the Desert (PSLOD) where he rose <strong>to</strong><br />

prom<strong>in</strong>ence and served as Media Coord<strong>in</strong>a<strong>to</strong>r<br />

and the Production Manager of the<br />

annual Mr. <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs Leather contest<br />

held every year dur<strong>in</strong>g Leather Pride week.<br />

Dave supported many organizations and<br />

causes and generously lent his time and talents<br />

<strong>to</strong> build websites, design posters, promote<br />

events, judge contests, emcee shows,<br />

manage ticket sales and volunteer his time<br />

at the events <strong>to</strong> ensure success.<br />

David was honored by the <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence when he<br />

was given the title of “Sa<strong>in</strong>t”, an honorary<br />

title bes<strong>to</strong>wed on a select few <strong>in</strong>dividuals<br />

who have helped the organization beh<strong>in</strong>d<br />

the scenes <strong>in</strong> service <strong>to</strong> the greater LGBTQ<br />

community. He became known as “Sa<strong>in</strong>t<br />

Dave of the Dev<strong>in</strong>e Design”.<br />

But Dave really found his “voice” when he<br />

jo<strong>in</strong>ed his beloved <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>Gay</strong> Men’s<br />

Chorus when it was orig<strong>in</strong>ally known as<br />

Caballeros. In the Chorus, Dave once aga<strong>in</strong><br />

immersed himself <strong>in</strong> the organization with<br />

his boom<strong>in</strong>g bass voice and work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />

support of its mission, “To be a chorus of<br />

gay men who, through musical excellence,<br />

community outreach and civic responsibility,<br />

are dedicated <strong>to</strong> enterta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

and educat<strong>in</strong>g the culturally diverse community<br />

<strong>in</strong> which we live”. In the Chorus,<br />

as <strong>in</strong> every other aspect of Dave’s life, he<br />

excelled and was deeply engaged and universally<br />

loved and respected.<br />

Dave is survived by his brother Ron, his<br />

sister-<strong>in</strong>- law Deb, his nieces Tanya, Amy<br />

and Ryann, his nephews Tony and Chris,<br />

as well as 7 grand nieces, 7 grand nephews<br />

and 3 great grand-nieces. Needless <strong>to</strong> say,<br />

he survived by many, many lov<strong>in</strong>g friends<br />

- from Michigan <strong>to</strong> New York <strong>to</strong> Los Angeles,<br />

from Fire Island <strong>to</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs – who<br />

all remember him for his big smile, his<br />

generosity of spirit, his lov<strong>in</strong>g nature, and<br />

sharp wit.<br />

JERSEY’S JOURNAL by jersey Shore<br />

I was host<strong>in</strong>g the Mr. Nude Contest at<br />

CCB this Pride weekend. I approached a<br />

few guys about participat<strong>in</strong>g. You could<br />

w<strong>in</strong> a TWO night stays, worth a lot of<br />

money. They go there, why not try <strong>to</strong><br />

save a few hundred dollars just <strong>to</strong> parade<br />

around a pool naked?<br />

The kicker for me is that when I<br />

approached each man and all the men<br />

around them were naked. They are<br />

already naked, everyone’s seen it, and<br />

everyone has probably had it <strong>in</strong> various<br />

open<strong>in</strong>gs that day. So, I don’t understand<br />

the big deal.<br />

I got a few recruits. One issue was not<br />

w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g. Well there can only be one<br />

w<strong>in</strong>ner, so that’s the chance you have<br />

<strong>to</strong> take. It was a competition and they<br />

didn’t want <strong>to</strong> be judged. Sorry <strong>to</strong> say,<br />

but you are always gett<strong>in</strong>g judged. Mostly<br />

with your clothes on, so...get used <strong>to</strong> it.<br />

It’s judgment city out there. Get used<br />

<strong>to</strong> it, or s<strong>to</strong>p judg<strong>in</strong>g others. I decided<br />

that the audience will pick the w<strong>in</strong>ner<br />

by applause, mean<strong>in</strong>g they will have <strong>to</strong><br />

judge each contestant. I expla<strong>in</strong> <strong>to</strong> everyone<br />

who signed up that MY contest w<strong>in</strong>ners<br />

are NOT au<strong>to</strong>matically the young,<br />

dumb, tight bodied, big dicked boys. It<br />

was personality, fun, and br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g a personality<br />

<strong>to</strong> that naked body. EVERY time<br />

I’ve done it that way the less attractive,<br />

smaller packaged contestant has won!<br />

So, yes, it is about personality and soul<br />

and character of a person that you should<br />

be judg<strong>in</strong>g. They won’t always be naked,<br />

but you can “admire” that later, if you<br />

“judge” correctly.<br />

Peace, Love, and Acceptance.<br />

Rotary Friendship Exchange. Johannesburg, South Africa (Greg Pettis second from right)<br />

A wild Elephant wander<strong>in</strong>g about Kruger National Park. (pho<strong>to</strong> by Greg pettis)<br />

46 Your weekly LGBT <strong>Gay</strong> Desert Guide. View our Free Digital Version on-l<strong>in</strong>e.


THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />

I’m sitt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the O. Rambo International<br />

airport <strong>in</strong> Johannesburg, South Africa wait<strong>in</strong>g<br />

for my flight home. It’s been a fasc<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g<br />

times here as part of a Rotary Friendship<br />

Exchange.<br />

My team of 5 people from the Inland Empire<br />

<strong>to</strong>ured 5 different cities and Kruger National<br />

Park. It was amaz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> see the reverence<br />

that everyone, black or white, consider Nelson<br />

Mandela. No one claimed him <strong>to</strong> be<br />

a great adm<strong>in</strong>istra<strong>to</strong>r, but all said he was<br />

a true visionary. Someone who knew his<br />

countrymen, unders<strong>to</strong>od where his country<br />

needed <strong>to</strong> go and provided the direction <strong>to</strong><br />

set his nation on a new course<br />

We traveled <strong>to</strong> Sowe<strong>to</strong> and visited his home<br />

and just down the street the home of Bishop<br />

Desmond Tutu. This is the only place <strong>in</strong> the<br />

world where two Nobel Peace Price w<strong>in</strong>ners<br />

lived on the same street<br />

We ate all our meals with people from<br />

South Africa, sometimes our home hosts<br />

and some with various Rotarians. The one<br />

th<strong>in</strong>g everyone wanted <strong>to</strong> know was....... can<br />

you guess it? What did we th<strong>in</strong>k of Donald<br />

Trump. No one on our team from CA voted<br />

for him. And only one person we met along<br />

the way <strong>in</strong> Africa supported him<br />

There was a general nervousness and unease.<br />

They have corruption issues with their president<br />

and never thought we would, but they<br />

are worried about policy, security and a drift<br />

<strong>to</strong>wards reactionary conservatism<br />

At the Apartheid Museum, the first display<br />

was on “Talk<strong>in</strong>g of Faith”. It was a mov<strong>in</strong>g<br />

demonstration of the LGBTI community of<br />

faith <strong>in</strong> South Africa. I never would have<br />

thought this would have had a place <strong>in</strong> this<br />

museum, but the South African constitution<br />

is the most liberal on same gender<br />

issues. Marriage equality has been the law<br />

of the land for years. The museum wanted<br />

<strong>to</strong> show that LGBTI folks have some of the<br />

same issues as the black and colored population<br />

of the country. If only we were so<br />

progressive<br />

I have been quiet here and on Facebook<br />

about Donald Trump. Obviously I am horrified<br />

and scared about him be<strong>in</strong>g President.<br />

But I must say the one reason I want him <strong>to</strong><br />

succeed is simple - Mike Pence. Pence is the<br />

new Dick Cheney. Angry, anti LGBT, anti<br />

woman, a war mongerer. This is who we<br />

should be worried about, not the caricature<br />

who will take office on January 20<br />

Th<strong>in</strong>k on it. Send your thoughts. Greg@<br />
