Incumbent Frank Figueroa takes lead in Coachella mayor's race

Coachella Mayor Frank Figueroa has taken a narrow lead in his race to win a full term, according to the latest election results posted Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 11. Councilmember Denise Delgado, who is one of Figueroa's challengers, had been leading until the updated results released by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. Delgado was in second place in the latest count, just 67 votes behind Figueroa. Jesus "Kino" Gonzalez was in third, 77 votes behind Delgado. The fourth candidate, Francisco Molina, was in a distant last place, more than 1,000 votes behind Gonzalez. Even if she does not win the mayor's seat, Delgado will remain on the council, where her term runs until 2028. Figueroa, however, will not because his council term ends in December 2026. The registrar said 193,500 vote-by-mail ballots and 11,000 conditional voter registration ballots remained to be counted countywide. It did not release a breakdown by city, but about 1% of the county's registered voters live in Coachella. Although he is the incumbent in the race, Figueroa has served as the city's mayor for less than seven months. The council voted to appoint him earlier this year to replace longtime mayor Steven Hernandez, who resigned in

Major changes planned for Palm Desert mall site. See latest proposal

In November 2023, a Los Angeles company purchased Palm Desert’s declining mall with the goal of transforming it into what it called a vibrant, mixed-use destination. Now, nearly three years later, the company has started to publicly sketch out a proposal for what that redevelopment could look like, along with a timeline for bringing it to fruition. It includes homes, shops, restaurants and new commercial buildings along parts of the site now covered with parking lots. A Powerpoint presentation published online ahead of a planned presentation to the Palm Desert City Council on Thursday, Nov. 12, details what the mall’s owner, Pacific Retail Capital Partners , describes as a still-evolving plan for a mix of new housing, “neighborhood retail” offerings and a public plaza at the site. The plan also calls for maintaining much of the existing enclosed mall, which covers about 34 acres. The presentation also unveils what would be the new name for the property: “The Village at Palm Desert.” A memo from the city's director of economic development, Martin Alvarez, says the presentation gives the council an early look at a specific plan that will be formally submitted to the city council for consideration next spring.

Senior success helps Edward Fryatt leave pro golf memories in the past

Boulder Creek (Nevada) Golf Club is just a short 40-minute drive from Edward Fryatt’s Las Vegas-area home. The golf course has always been among his favorites, which brought no shortage of good vibes this week in the Golfweek Senior Desert Showdown. Familiarity was one variable, perhaps, that helped the 55-year-old Fryatt romp to a six-shot victory over Stephen Nichols. Fryatt’s 16-under total included rounds of 67-65-68. He made two eagles in the final round. “I drove the ball good, I just kind of managed my game,” he said when asked to assess his play. “I’ve been on a pretty good run the last few weeks, so I was happy to come away with the win.” Fryatt wasn’t the only player who authored a big victory at the Golfweek Desert Senior. In the Super Senior division, Bob Easterlin of Frisco, Texas, authored an even bigger one by finishing 11 shots ahead of George Muhar from Palm Desert, California. In the Legend division, David Ujihara of Brea, California, was 12 under and nine shots ahead of runner-up Terry Tyson of Perrysburg, Ohio. Greg Mokler of Timnath, Colorado, finished 54 holes at 8 under, which was six shots better than Neil Spitalny of

See what's in former Antique Galleries owner's new Palm Springs store

(This story was updated to add new information.) There may be no land, or any cattle, but the Palm Springs Land and Cattle Co. sure has a whole lot else to offer curious shoppers. The latest project of former Antique Galleries owner Mike Rivkin , Land and Cattle Co. aims to bring a new approach to vintage stores. From $2,000 handcrafted model cars to $50 Italian Air Force espresso sets, Rivkin hopes to attract a different kind of buyer to his new business at 590 S. Indian Canyon Drive, which will open on Thursday, Nov. 19. "At the end of the day, its stuff that I like and respond well to and I’m hoping there’s enough people out there like me that feel the same way," Rivkin said. Earlier this year, Rivkin decided to close the antique store he'd run for 12 years just off Sunny Dunes Road so he could retire. At the time, he told The Desert Sun he wanted to "drift off into my dotage with a little less to do." Apparently, a "little less" meant starting a new store, with all the headaches that go along with preparing for a grand opening. But Rivkin, who writes
