This past Tuesday, the La Quinta City Council unanimously approved the first reading of an ordinance that 
will allow a pilot program for golf cart use on certain city streets. The pilot program may be implemented as soon as mid-January with the issuance of two-year permits. The cost of the permits is expected to be available at the Council's December 1st meeting.
Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage are two Coachella Valley cities that are currently using the program with great success. The program abides by state law that does not allow the use of the golf cart for more than two people and 16 year old drivers must have a valid driver's license. Seat belts and a rooftop are also required. The maximum speed of a golf cart cannot exceed is 15 MPH and the golf carts will be restricted to designated golf cart lanes on city streets, designated golf cart paths and select neighborhoods with streets that have 25 MPH speed limit postings. The main idea, explained in the council meeting, is to allow access throughout La Quinta Cove, to the Village and Old Town La Quinta areas, the SilverRock Resort and the La Quinta Resort and Club. After reviewing the success of the pilot program, City Council members have indicated that the program may go citywide.
After seeing the recent movie, "Julie and Julia" based on the lovable culinary, Julia Child, I have dusted
off my cookbooks and started trying out new recipes on my family. They love me and think I am a great real estate agent... but my experiments sometimes lead us out the door to a local restaurant. Recently I discovered a cooking school in La Quinta, Cooking With Class, and thought if I really wanted to make a serious comeback in the kitchen that I could add cooking classes to my Christmas list. Cooking With Class offers classes each week from Italian to the Classics. They start 
out with easy recipes and all you need to do is pick a cuisine, organize the ingredients, follow the instructions, add them together and package for the ride home. User friendly! By making the minimum 36 servings of different meals at one time, not only does it cost less than $5 per serving, but you can control your portions! Is easy, tastes yummy and good for your weight... I'm in!
Cooking with Class is located at 47875 Caleo Bay Drive #A-107 in La Quinta or call 1-760-777-1161 to make your appointment as space is limited. Bon Appetit!!
LA QUINTA is the home to world-class golf! Not only are the golf courses beautiful, but they represent a

Puerta Azul is resort living in the heart of La Quinta with clubhouse, fitness center, 2 swimming pools, spa, bocci ball, putting green & tennis.
This Sunday, November 8th at 11 AM, there will be an opening ceremony for the Healing Field Memorial at
the Patriot Park located at the northeast corner of Date Palm and Dinah Shore Drive. Five thousand six foot flags will be displayed and each honors a military serviceman or servicewoman killed during operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.
For the past four years this event has commemorated the sacrifice our servicemen and women have experienced fighting for our country. Each flag will have the name, age, hometown and branch of service of each service member who has lost their life. Four of the flags will honor those soldiers from the Coachella Valley. The Healing Field will be on display until November 14th.
I have been unable to attend the Patriot Park ceremonies in the past, but recently was in the hills above Malibu by Pepperdine and can tell you that it is an incredibly moving display of the losses our country has sustained in the fight for freedom. Whatever your politics, this is an event that is worthy of your support.
