46 THE LAST WORD<br />
The most beloved Christmas tradition in America,<br />
is decorating a Christmas tree. The Christmas tree<br />
is actually a pretty recent holiday tradition. German<br />
immigrants brought the tradition here in the<br />
mid-18th century, yet 100 years later it was still not<br />
something we did. Teddy Roosevelt railed against<br />
cutting down trees for Christmas, saying it was a<br />
waste of good timber. The tradition, as we know got<br />
<strong>to</strong>taly ridiculous and largly plastic.<br />

ABE ALVAREZ TOSTADO A<br />
“WILD CARD” ARTIST INDI-<br />
VIDUAL HYW 62 TOUR<br />
Abe Alvarez Tostado grew up in Long<br />
Beach, CA. His early inspiration was<br />
<strong>from</strong> skaters turned artists. His early<br />
works in art were silk screen designs on<br />
T-shirts.<br />
He said. “I was really in<strong>to</strong> comic books<br />
and the drawings found in them, so<br />
I started painting on skate decks, experimenting.<br />
We raided trash cans of<br />
local skate shops <strong>to</strong> find their cut decks<br />
<strong>to</strong> paint on. Today I guess it would be<br />
called upcycling but we just needed<br />
something <strong>to</strong> paint on then.<br />
His art might be called a pop -Cubism<br />
style. He says of his work, “I have my<br />
own style that doesn’t fit in<strong>to</strong> anything.<br />
I’m in my own category, I’m a wild<br />
card.”<br />
We met Abe at his home - studio in<br />
Yucca Valley on the Hwy 62 Tours. Here<br />
we saw examples of his paintings and<br />
other works such as T-shirt silk screens,<br />
designed shoes, hoodies, baseball caps,<br />
Christmas ornaments, etc. His works<br />
is available <strong>to</strong> purchase in the various<br />
forms mentioned and probably others<br />
that you may desire, or he may recommend.<br />
His contact is abe<strong>to</strong>stado.com.<br />
His gallery is open all year by appointment,<br />
562-240-3908. In this article are<br />
some examples of his work.<br />

streetwear line boasts a rich heritage<br />
of creative collaborations. The duo<br />
has teamed up with Converse <strong>to</strong><br />
remake the Fastbreak Mid, the classic<br />
basketball silhouette first introduced<br />
in 1983. Inspired by the 80’ North—<br />
their holiday <strong>20</strong>17 collection which<br />
pays homage <strong>to</strong> the great outdoors—<br />

bold suede accents, leather, and a<br />
bright heavy duty textile upper.<br />

Healthy poo is nothing <strong>to</strong> joke about. So next time you ask what someones poo is like,<br />
You might just be saiving a life. When doc<strong>to</strong>rs at a Bris<strong>to</strong>l hospital found patients were<br />
reluctant <strong>to</strong> describe their faeces, medics devised the Bris<strong>to</strong>l S<strong>to</strong>ol Form Scale. The<br />
handy chart is now used all over the world <strong>to</strong> help patients open up (excuse the pun)<br />
with less embarrassment. What you should be looking for...Type Four (above) is a sign<br />
of a healthy colon, but anything <strong>from</strong> Three <strong>to</strong> Five is acceptable. Poos should glide out<br />
smoothly, be light <strong>to</strong> medium brown, cause no discomfort, and be in one long shape.<br />
Movement should happen soon after you sit down, and if there is any sign of blood in<br />
the s<strong>to</strong>ol, see your GP immediately as it could be an indica<strong>to</strong>r of cancer.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />
<strong>Holidays</strong> are upon us and folks are in a cheerful<br />
mood - especially corporations who are<br />
getting a HUGELY big Christmas present in<br />
the form of a tax cut. What was billed as tax<br />
reform is turning out <strong>to</strong> be nothing more<br />
than a giveaway <strong>to</strong> the rich.<br />
My taxes will be going up and I suspect most<br />
if not all who will read this column will have<br />
the same thing happen <strong>to</strong> them. It amazes<br />
me that the Piggly Wiggly crowd still believe<br />
that Trump speaks for them or in any way<br />
cares about their lives or needs.<br />
It is deja vu <strong>to</strong> the extreme <strong>from</strong> Ronald<br />
Reagan’s presidency. Supply side economics<br />
was a disaster then and is no less so now.<br />
Reagan’s tax cuts led <strong>to</strong> the Bush I recession<br />
and then was left <strong>to</strong> Bill Clin<strong>to</strong>n <strong>to</strong> fix. <strong>This</strong><br />
time however cuts are deeper and will lead<br />
not only <strong>to</strong> increased revenue <strong>to</strong> the rich but<br />
<strong>to</strong> massive cuts in government services <strong>to</strong><br />
the poor, elderly and children.<br />
including our only out Sena<strong>to</strong>r, Tammy<br />
Baldwin of Wisconsin. She is already facing<br />
vicious attacks by the right. If she comes <strong>to</strong><br />
CA, as I suspect, <strong>to</strong> raise funds everyone<br />
needs <strong>to</strong> try <strong>to</strong> attend and help.<br />
Speaking of raising funds, as I have mentioned<br />
before the Cathedral City High<br />
School Choir has been invited <strong>to</strong> sing at the<br />
Vatican in June. They are actively raising<br />
money <strong>to</strong> send everyone. Airfare, hotels and<br />
meals for each student is $4<strong>20</strong>0. They are<br />
asking everyone <strong>to</strong> donate whatever they<br />
can <strong>to</strong> help. Checks can be made payable <strong>to</strong><br />
MCI/CCHS Choir, POBox 2692, Cathedral<br />
City, CA 92235. All donations accepted and<br />
appreciated.<br />
That’s it for this week. Keep resisting!<br />
One bright spot was the defeat of Roy Moore<br />
in Alabama and the election of PFLAG dad,<br />
Doug Jones. Yep his son is gay! While Sena<strong>to</strong>r-elect<br />
Jones is not as Progressive as I<br />
would like, for Alabama he is a liberal with<br />
a capital L!<br />
We are beginning <strong>to</strong> see some movement<br />
<strong>to</strong>wards a Democratic takeover of Congress<br />
in <strong>20</strong>18. While not assured the signs are<br />
there. It will be interesting <strong>to</strong> see how Trump<br />
will adapt <strong>to</strong> a new reality or if he really can.<br />
Greg Pettis is a 22 year city councilman<br />
in Cathedral City. Greg was the first openly<br />
gay elected city council members In<br />
Riverside County. He has served on the<br />
boards of the National League of Cities<br />
and the League of California Cities and as<br />
President of the Southern CA Association<br />
of Governments.<br />
