Omni Las Palmas Resort at a Glance

Hollywood stars, heads of state and tourists alike descended on the Palm Springs area back in the 1950s to stay at the storied Desert Air Hotel & Resort. Visionary Los Angeles architect H.L. “Hank” Gogerty had transformed 320 acres of barren desert into an ideal sanctuary, complete with a private airstrip. By day, resort guests splashed around in the sparkling pool and played polo on a nearby field while staying in surplus army barracks. When night came, the spirited Compass Room restaurant and bar was the place to see and be seen. The celebrity-laden crowd enjoyed a lively ambiance, strong cocktails and elegant cuisine. “The Bob Cummings Show,” a popular sitcom from 1955 to 1959, used the popular desert hangout as its backdrop. Rumors suggest the debonair actor piloted his unique Aerocar accompanied by such leading ladies as Marilyn Monroe and Lana Turner. In the late 1970s, Desert Air made way for today’s luxurious Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa. Cary Grant, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans and Bob Hope all appeared at the resort’s 1977 ground breaking. From its Rat Pack era beginnings to a stunning 21st-century renaissance, Rancho Las Palmas remains a timeless classic for today’s discerning traveler.

Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa offers an array of guest services and amenities that promise to keep you as busy or at ease as you desire.

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway at a Glance

Mount San Jacinto Winter Park Governing Body of the Tramway

The seven-member Mount San Jacinto Winter Park Authority, a public agency and public cor- poration of the State of California, is the governing body of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.

The Authority was created by the Mount San Jacinto Winter Park Authority Act Ch.1040 of the Statutes of 1945, as amended by Ch.70 of the Statutes of 1947 and Ch.1004 of the Statutes of 1951, of the State of California. Two members of the Authority are appointed by the Palm Springs City Council, two by the Riv- erside County Board of Supervisors and three by the California Governor. They serve without compensation for a four-year term. The Authority has had nineteen chairpersons since its inception: O. Earl Coffman (deceased), V.W. Grubbs (deceased), G. David Ackley (deceased), Burton Spivack, John Blatt (deceased), Elliot Field, Richard Shalhoub, Bette Myers, Lloyd Maryanov (deceased), Nancy Stuart, Kathy Block, Ric Service, Elvin W. Moon, Jerry Ogburn, Michael McCulloch, Jon Sheinberg, John Wessman, Janice Oliphant and, currently, Bary Freet.

Regular meetings of the Board shall be held in June, August, October, January, February and April on the third Tuesday of each meeting month, times may vary.

Each Authority Member shall serve a term of four years from the date of appointment, and con- tinuing thereafter until the Authority Member has been reappointed, resigned or a successor has been appointed.

National Monument The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is a major gateway to the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument traversing the southerly side of the Coachella Valley – officially designated a treasured natural and cultural resource. The Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument was established by an Act of Congress on October 24, 2000 “in order to preserve the nationally significant biological, cultur- al, recreational, geological, educational, and scientific values found in the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains and to secure now and for future generations the opportunity to experience and enjoy the magnificent vistas, wildlife, land forms, and natural and cultural resources in these mountains”. A majority of Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness is part of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument and many of the monument’s beautiful hiking trails begin at the top of the Tram and extend over the San Jacinto Mountains to the outskirts of Idyll- wild. The National Monument’s boundary encompasses about 272,000 acres, including 65,000 acres within the San Jacinto Ranger District of the San Bernardino National Forest, 89,500 acres within the Bureau of Land Management’s California Desert Conservation Area, the Santa Rosa Wilderness, which contains 61,600 acres of BLM and Forest Service lands, and 19,470 acres of the Forest Service’s San Jacinto Wilderness. Its boundary also surrounds land owned and administered by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, California Department of Parks and Recreation, California Department of Fish and Game, other agencies of the State of California, and private landowners.

Mental Health - 101

Mental Health has been in the national spotlight lately as mental illness and access to care has been repeatedly cited in relation to mass shooting events. We review how this is a misleading association, some of the factors that contribute to the related stigma, and discuss the research on violence and mental health. We discuss some commonly misunderstood diagnoses and some very basic approaches in working with a person in mental health crisis. We conclude by reinforcing that people who carry a mental health diagnosis are served by everyone – not just RUHS-BH – and ultimately it is our partnership as Riverside County civil servants that provides the foundation to reduce stigma, encourage appropriate care, and develop well communities.

Peer Panel Summary

In 2005, the Riverside University Health System-Behavioral Health began hiring people who had experienced mental illness as Peer Support Specialists to help transform the behavioral health services to a friendlier and more welcoming service delivery system. Peer employees use their personal stories of recovery from mental illness to help others engage in their own treatment and recovery. They also use their experiences influence how services are delivered and shape policy and procedures to ensure that the system is focused on the consumer’s perspective. Peer Support Specialists lead by example and provide hope that recovery is possible. In this session you will hear the stories of four Peer Specialists, and they will tell you how they use their experiences to help others. Paul Baum is a Consumer Peer Support Specialist, working in the Consumer Affair division in the role of Communications Specialist, assisting in the planning, development and implementation of the Peer Navigation Line and Peer Navigation Center to open later this year. Shannon McCleerey-Hooper is the Consumer Affairs Peer Policy & Planning Specialist. Her role is to be the voice of the consumer at the Director’s table. She is responsible for managing all programs relating to consumer peer support services, provide training to staff in recovery model practices and to bring new programming to the system that reduces stigma, and promotes healing environments for the people we serve. D’Nai McCullough is a Consumer Peer Support Specialist, currently working for the Blaine Adult Outpatient Clinic.

Reducing stigma, ensuring appropriate care, and developing mentally health communities are a few of the important goals of RUHS-BH. With mental health in the national spotlight related to shootings and violence, it is more important than ever that the mental health profession educate and engage communities in discussions that fight stigma and misinformation about people who have a mental illness. Ultimately, the success of this effort in Riverside County relies on all leaders in the County taking a stance to fight the stigma of mental illness and to uplift the dignity of people who have a mental illness Up2Riverside: RUHS-BH contracts with a marketing firm, Civilian, to implement a Stigma Discrimination Reduction and Suicide Prevention campaign in Riverside County. The campaign Includes messaging through television and radio ads as well as print materials reflective of Riverside County’s diverse cultural populations and targeting all age spans. The campaign also utilizes digital media to drive individuals to resources, help lines, and website. The Up2Riverside website offers resources, educational Information, and digital stories containing testimonials of consumers with lived experiences and recovery journeys. The Directing Change Program & Film Contest is part of Each Mind Matters: California’s Mental Health Movement. The program offers young people the exciting opportunity to participate in the movement by creating 60-second films about suicide prevention and mental health that are used to support awareness, education, and advocacy efforts on these topics. Making these films gives young people the opportunity to critically explore and develop appropriate messaging about these topics. The participation level of Riverside County schools and students in this annual event is exceptional, as are the films they produce.
