Officer-Involved Shooting at Hotel

Woodland Hills resident Holly Suzanne Courtier has been missing for almost two weeks. She was last seen in Utah’s Zion National Park at about 1:30 pm on October 6. An avid hiker, Courtier has visited Zion several times - but this time never made it to the

By Laura LevinskyIt looks the same, but different.

The tables are the same, but they are, for now, outside and there are fewer chairs at each setting. But behind the new look, the heart of the New Friends Homeless Center (NFHC) is still the same. Pastor April and her crew of volunteers care just as much as they always have.

So what makes this night so different? Actually, it is the tables. For the first time in months NFHC is able to offer their guests the opportunity to eat dinner at the site. From March to October they had to pack meals to go only.

people. It is loud, intense and fast-paced - and they wouldn’t have it any other way. This isn’t an “extra” thing these people do. It isn’t a matter of “if there isn’t anything more interesting going on.” This is part of their lives. It is what they do every Friday night. But it doesn’t take that many volunteers to hand out to-

go meals. Pastor April keeps in touch with all of them through emails and newsletters. For those who are older or immune suppressed, it has worked out just fine to not be volunteering during the pandemic.

It is a constant struggle for money and in-kind donations.

Now, guests can make the choice between eating the three-course dinner at the location or taking a meal to go. So how does NFHC make it work?

The opening of outdoor dining is the key. With restaurants all over Los Angeles having guests eat outdoors, NFHC took the idea one step further and set up tables so their guests could dine outside, socially distanced too. What used to seat over 100 people inside now seats only about 25 outside, but it is a start.

It takes multitudes of people to put on dinner for over 100 people once a week. How do you keep all those people involved during a pandemic? For key volunteer Dara Laski, it is about following her passion of helping people. “I believe we all must care for each other in this world…I love starting the weekend being of service.”

Dara runs the kitchen at the Woodland Hills location with the help of a dedicated group of

From March to October they offered only meals to go, now guests can choose to take out or eat the three-course meal outdoors.

return shuttle at the park. Her daughter, Kailey Chambers, said that the family has started their own search. “I know she would not give up on me, so I refuse to give up on her,” Chambers said. Courtier is 5 foot 3, about 100 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information about her whereabouts can call the National Park Service tip line at (888) 653-0009.

Police responded to the Best Western Hotel on Winnetka this morning at approximately 2:30 am. They found a woman with a handgun in one of the guest rooms. Police opened fire and the woman suffered a non-threatening wound and was reported in stable condition at a local hospital. The woman was allegedly tresspassing in the room. The Best Western is part of the Winnetka Bowl complex at Vanowen and Winnetka.

In response to residents’ complaints about pedestrian safety, exacerbated by the fatal collision at Triunfo Canyon Road and Saddle Mountain Drive, the Westlake Village City Council has unanimously voted to install flashing lights at that intersection. On September 29 brothers Mark and Jacob Iskander were killed when Rebecca Grossman of Hidden Hills hit them in a crosswalk at the intersection, which had no stop sign or stop lights.

Rantz and Ravez from Dennis Zine Election Special

Are you tired of watching and listening to the constant bombardment of political TV and radio commercials urging you to vote “Yes” on this and “No” on that for the November 3, 2020 National Election?

Twenty-one million ballots are going out to California voters. Talk about the trees that had to be cut down for all the paper. What are you to do when you don’t know who or what to vote for? You can turn to someone you can trust to give you a straight answer without all the conflicting messages. You can turn to RantZ and RaveZ - the honest suggestions that are not paid for or authorized by anyone other than Mr. RantZ and RaveZ himself. A person who can’t be bought like some elected officials that were in political office and are now in jail or headed there. Over 50 years of continuing service as a sworn member of the LAPD, and a 12-year former elected member of the Los Angeles City Council.

Just the facts and some opinion here and there to keep you on your toes. The recommendations are my own after research. You may have a different perspective. I respect your opinion and appreciate the fact that you are taking the time to examine the candidates and propositions before you vote. If you have already voted, thank you for participating in this most important national election.

People have contacted me and asked my opinion on who and what to vote for in the November 3 election. There are the candidates, ballot propositions and judicial offices all listed for your review. Since I am a registered “No Party Preference” (NPP) voter, I can give you an honest opinion

regardless of political affiliation. Since California is a Democratic Blue State, some vote the political party (D) or (R) while others select the person or issue and how they or it will impact their wallet, family, business, employment or even lives.

I have researched the candidates and issues and how each person or measure will impact you, your family and life for the next four years.

I reviewed the recommendations in local publications. I can honestly say that if you support law and order you will find my recommendations in line with your concerns. Your vote is important so please take the time to vote.

1. President and Vice President of the United States of America…There are six teams (President and Vice President) listed from the Peace and Freedom, American Independent, Green, Libertarian, Democratic and Republican Party. The elected team will guide America for the next four years. With all the controversy surrounding the Democratic and Republican candidates, I am going to leave this vote up to you to decide. I believe most voters have a good idea who they want for this most important national political office.

• Sharona Saltzman sent in this pearl from the late Steve Jobs: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

The thought of change can be scary, even more so during the type of crisis we’re experiencing now with the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there are business leaders who are implementing change in response to the challenging economic and operational landscape, many others are not.

“Sometimes the writing is on the wall and organizations are triggered to change,” says Edwin Bosso, Founder and CEO of Myrtle Consulting Group and the ForbesBooks author of 6,000 Dreams: The Leader’s Guide To A Successful Business Transformation Journey.

“In fact, members of the organization often are keenly aware that something needs to be done. However, despite that, management does not act, and the cost of inertia can be high.”

According to Bosso, there are five reasons why leaders resist change and, as a consequence, struggle to move their company forward:

They confuse important versus urgent.

Leaders sometimes confuse the terms important and urgent. “Important issues are those that do not necessarily have an explicit deadline, like urgent issues, but can effectively have some impact, large or small, on a business,” Bosso says. “The confusion sets in when owners and managers spend too much time putting out fires rather than planning.

For example, the company may know that it is important to upgrade its operations. But it doesn’t become urgent until later on when the company looks at the output of its competitors that have completed transformation projects and have become a lot more cost-competitive.”

They lack courage/leadership

Five Reasons Leaders Resists Change - Even During a Crisisabilities.

Successfully initiating and executing a change process involves numerous leadership skills. “It can be intimidating taking on such a challenge that, to some leaders, may seem like moving a mountain,” Bosso says. “Others are better prepared to take risks, confront reality, envision a better way, make plans, and then act on those plans to lead a change.”

They misalign the incentives. The incentive to change or transform organizations can be misaligned with the incentives of people who are in charge of leading those transformations. “Misalignment of personal

make the case.”They lack a method. It’s not uncommon for leaders

to know the difference between where their company is and where it could be, but they don’t know how to proceed. “In such situations, leaders often freeze up and put off the impending need to change, or they approach it through trial and error,” Bosso says. “Having a methodology is beneficial when taking on such an effort. Some leaders take the time and effort to learn what needs to be done, while others bring in experienced people to provide a method for leading a smooth and successful transformation.”

According to Bosso, leaders must understand that there will never be a perfect time for change, but also that often the right change only happens if they force the issue.

incentives can cause us not to act, even when we know it’s the best thing for the company,” Bosso says. “When we are in line for a promotion and higher pay, we certainly don’t want to take on risks that can potentially work against us.”

They lack support and/or resources.

Not being afforded the requisite tools or the consensus for necessary transformation can leave a leader feeling powerless. “This is a set of obstacles that many leaders run into,” Bosso says. “The powerlessness can come from the lack of company means, organizational backing, human capital and resources to support the cost of a transformation. After a while, they run out of energy, or time, to

It can be intimidating taking on such a challenge that, to some leaders, may seem like moving a mountain.

VALLEY ENTERTAINMENT No Trick or Treating...But Local Homes Go All Out for Halloween

Not so enchanted now.... This spooky garden on Dumetz just east of Topanga was designed by the set decorator, costumer and owner of Enchanting Fantasy Gardens. He told Valley News Group he goes all-out every year and the ghosts, ghouls and totally redecorated front yard draw neighbors and visitors to the scene.

Instead of trick or treating - throw the kids in the car and take a tour of the spooky settings around town while noshing on bags of candy you have chosen!

These homeowners on Serrania at Dumont Drive have filled their yard with creepy, crawling creatures, ghouls and goblins.

These guys on Calderon caught our eye as they are being socially responsible with their masks!

There is no doubt that this year has been toxic. Add in a slew of wildfires, a novel coronavirus and with flu season upon us, the air quality is certainly heavy with its own toxins. Rest assured that there is relief, and then some, in the holistic haven of Roslyn Salt Cave.

Roslyn Salt Cave is derived from the building blocks of nature’s most pure and complete mineral source on Earth: Himalayan salt. Containing 84 essential minerals and electrolytes, this antibacterial and anti microbial salt has benefits that far extend its pink aesthetic. All you have to do is breathe.

Stepping into the salt cave, you are instantly transported into a serene and soothing environment where the dry salt therapy will work wonders. Surrounded by five tons of pure pink Himalayan salt, sit back in a zero gravity chair, wrap yourself up against the cool chill and simply let your body absorb the benefits as you listen to the cascading waterfall.

Every detail is designed to reflect the elements of a naturally occurring salt cave and it certainly delivers. Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, utilizes a halogenerator to push micro salt particles into the air which in turn act as a “toothbrush for your lungs” clearing foreign substances, reducing inflammation and dissolving bacteria. A session aids in re-mineralizing the body to not only detox but to also clean out the respiratory system…something everyone could surely benefit from this year. As the meditation tape guides you to serenity, the salt subtly but significantly restores from within.

As an added lifestyle treatment, halotherapy can aid in relief from asthma, colds, sinus infections, allergies and a laundry list of other ailments. Utilized for years as a natural detoxifier, and remarkably highlighted when lungs of coal miners were dirty

compared to clean lungs of salt miners, the benefits of Himalayan salt far exceed the seasoning benefits that most people utilize it for. Therefore, it seems only appropriate that Roslyn Salt Cave opened their doors this October, which is designated as Healthy Lung Month. In an unprecedented period where emphasis on one’s respiratory health is crucial, Roslyn Salt Cave is a welcome, and much needed, salt sanctum.

Perfect for individuals, families and even children, there is no one who can’t benefit from these healing sessions. While COVID has put a pause on group activities, Roslyn Salt Cave is eager to expand their offerings in the future to yoga classes, reiki

The healing salt cave with five tons of salt.

sessions, spa treatments and a whole roster of wellness activities for the community. Pre- or post- halotherapy session, make sure to peruse the gift shop where an array of Himalayan salt products are also available. From kitchen to bath products, this salt is a restorative and adaptable tool to benefit any aspect of your daily life. Roslyn Salt Cave is not only a 45-minute pause from the hectic nature of the current times but a refresher for your health whose importance can not be stressed more this year. Breathe out toxicity. Breathe in serenity. It’s as easy as an inhale and an exhale to reap a bevy of benefits for your physical and mental wellbeing

Visit roslynsaltcave.com or call 818-963-7646 to schedule your appointment. Roslyn Salt Cave is located in the Valley Country Mart at 20929 Ventura Blvd, Suite 12.

Valley News Group: How has coronavirus most

impacted your field of work? AS: It has impacted us in a

very aggressive way. Not only has it has created fear but also, a substantial financial impact.

VNG: What is the most surprising obstacle that you have had to face in the midst

of this pandemic? AS: Definitely the lack of

government preparation for supply. We are still short on supply today which makes it difficult.

EVNG: What is the most dramatic change you’ve had to make in your business?

AS: Cutting hours and changing the protocol as to how to deliver and perform dentistry.

EE: Has this pandemic changed your perspective of the industry you’re in?

AVNG: No, but it has increased the fear factor in contracting or spreading

COVID19, despite all the proper steps we are taking. EE: How do you want this experience to change you or

change your business moving forward? AS: I hope to always be prepared for potential future

team I have the pleasure of working with.

Valley News Group: How has coronavirus most impacted your field of work?

DT: We are no longer practicing face to face with our clients. Instead we are practicing “curbside veterinary medicine.” Clients call from their cars when they arrive and we take the history over the phone. The staff goes out to the car and brings the pet into the clinic for the examination and treatment and we call them back with a proposed treatment plan. For the most part it works but it gets stressful on the 90 and 100 degree days when people are waiting outside in the parking lot. Telemedicine will definitely become more mainstream.

VNG: What is the most surprising obstacle that you have had to face in the midst of this pandemic?

DT: Pets actually do really well away from

their guardians. They might be a little dramatic when they separate, then they are like, “Oh, you have treats? O.K. then! I’ll go with you.” They are much more relaxed than I thought they would be.

By Sandy Rosenholz, Senior Resources, Inc.

It’s been said that as we grow older, time appears to speed up. This statement has never been more true than in 2020 with the outbreak of COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2. The virus and the lockdowns that have resulted from it have put an end to many activities, especially for seniors who can no longer be as active as they once were. One day seems to meld into another.

With the onset of the flu season, it is imperative that everyone,

especially those with underlying health conditions and seniors, gets their annual flu shot this year. Healthcare professionals note that exposing yourself to both the flu and COVID can be dangerous. Flu vaccines prevent illnesses and flu-related doctor visits, and cut down on the number of hospital visits. Ask your doctor which vaccine will work best for you. And if you are 65 or over, it is advised to also get the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination.

Doctors suggest individuals get the influenza shot before

the end of October. Vaccines are available at many doctor’s offices or pharmacies. If you are unsure where to get your shot, call your doctor or visit https://vaccinefinder.org.

The Flu vs. COVID-19Tens of thousands of

Americans die annually from various influenza strains, with seniors representing a large segment of the reported deaths. That’s a lot of people, but nothing compared to the more than 211,000 Americans who have so far died due to COVID-19.

What’s the difference between

the two? COVID and the flu have similar symptoms, but when they appear, how virulent they are, and their incubation periods vary widely. And, while the flu attacks

the upper respiratory system (nose, sinuses, throat), the Coronavirus can also attack the windpipe, lungs and other body areas.

FluIf you have the flu, you are

typically contagious a day before your symptoms appear and five to seven days afterward.

Flu symptoms often include fever, headache, muscle pain, runny nose, sore throat, extreme tiredness and cough. In many cases the cough appears first, followed by fever and other symptoms. Those who have contracted the flu have been successfully treated with antiviral drugs when given within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Most importantly, the flu can be prevented to a large degree by an annual flu shot.

COVID-19COVID is the new kid on the

block. The contagious period (from being exposed to showing any symptoms) is typically five to seven days but can be up to 14 days. Symptoms may include fever/chills, cough, shortness of breath

or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.

How to Avoid the Flu or COVID-19

Every year, you see and hear information about protecting yourself and your family members from the flu. This year paying attention to these suggestions is even more critical. Although the two viruses have some significant differences in how they affect your body, many of the suggested precautions can be used to prevent contracting either of them.

To avoid the flu this year:• Wash your hands

regularly.• Clean and disinfect

objects and surfaces that a lot of people touch.

• Promptly dispose of used tissues in the wastebasket or garbage.

• Cough or sneeze into your shirt sleeve rather than your hands.

• Stay home when you are ill.

To avoid the coronavirus:• Clean your hands often,

with soap and water for 20 (Continued to page 18)

what you can do and what you need to know:

1. Do not get this confused with the Open Enrollment Period for Affordable Care/Covered California which is November 1 to January 31. That is for people under 65 on individual health plans.

2. The Medicare Annual Election Period is the best time to review your Medicare Advantage Plans and Part D prescription drug plans.

3. You should already have received the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) disclosure from your current plan. Please take a few minutes to review this document as it will clearly show you what changes are occurring in your plan starting January 1, 2021. If you are happy with your plan and there are no significant take-aways you may just want to continue. Your plan will normally auto renew for 1/1/2021.

4. We offer to re-shop all our clients during this time. We obtain their updated drug list and look at all plans available for them for 2021. Most of the time there is no compelling reason to change. But, about 20% of the time we see significant savings and recommend a change. We recommend that everyone shop this coverage yearly.

5. Things to know:a. Medicare Advantage

Plans are plans run by insurance or nonprofit companies. You assign your Medicare benefits to these entities and they become your provider of Medicare services. You no longer can use your Medicare card separately for services. Los Angeles has 55 plans, 54 of which are HMOs (plus some “special needs plans”). Most of these plans include drug coverage. Many of these plans have no monthly premium. Plan availability varies by county. Other states and counties have a very different assortment of plans. These plans are required to provide coverage at least as good as original Medicare. Plan designs vary dramatically.

b. Part D Prescription Drug Plans: These plans are sold by insurance companies and are available on a standalone basis. There are 32 Part D plans available in California. If you have very expensive drugs you will likely experience a share of cost for those drugs.

c. Medicare Supplement Plans: Also known as Medi-gap plans. These plans allow you to obtain Medicare covered services from any Medicare contracted provider nationwide (other than those under exclusive contracts). There are presently 10 different plans available nationwide for those who turned 65 after 1/1/2020. If you are

Medicare Open Enrollment Opens October 15Many diabetic prescriptions will have significantly reduced copays.

older than that, you have access to two additional plans—C and F. All these plans have a monthly premium that varies by age and zip code. But the benefits are standardized and identical nationwide.

d. Medi-Cal, Low Income Subsidy or Extra Help. If you are challenged in paying the cost for your prescriptions be sure to check with Social Security to see if you qualify for Medi-cal or Low-Income Subsidy or Extra Help.

6. During the Annual Election Period, you have the greatest flexibility to make changes:

a. You can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan (if you have Medicare Parts A and B). There are no health questions.

b. You can drop out of a

Medicare Advantage plan and return to original Medicare. In doing this you would usually add a Part D drug plan and you can apply for a Medicare Supplement plan. But, you would likely have to answer health history questions.

c. You can change from one Medicare Advantage Plan to another plan from the same company or with a different company.

d. You can change from a Medicare Advantage Plan that does not have drug coverage to one that does offer drug coverage (or vice versa). Plans with drug coverage are often referred to as MAPD plans, Medicare Advantage Plans with Prescription drugs.

e. You can enroll in a Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) if you have Medicare Part A or B.

f. You can drop your Part D drug plan (not recommended).

7. During the Annual Election Period you normally do NOT have a guaranteed enrollment into a Medicare Supplement Plan. You normally must answer health history questions. However, there are some Special Enrollment Periods or circumstances that might alter that.

a. If you have moved out of the service area of your Medicare Advantage Plan

b. If you are losing group health coverage

c. If you lose Medi-Cald. If your Medicare

Advantage plan reduced benefits 8. If you are turning 65

or new to Medicare, you can enroll in any plan you wish on a guaranteed basis.

9. What is new for 2021. All Medicare Advantage plans must now enroll people with ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease).

The Medicare Annual Election Period is the best time to review your Medicare Advantage Plans

and Part D prescription drug plans.

Demand Experience - Expect ExcellenceBuying or Selling... We Make Your Dreams Come True!

By Kevin PikeThe summer was a busy

time in real estate, with demand remaining strong despite COVID-19 and social distancing. Agents have continued offering virtual open houses and limited on-site open houses with reservations required.

September saw the average single-family home price increasing to $539,000 from $515,000 in July. Of course, this is simply the average for Southern California with many prices being substantially higher.

So, as sale prices increased we also saw a reduction in the average days on market from 18 to 13 since July. But keep in mind; several variables help in determining these numbers, including current property condition, competition in the area and current demand for single family homes.

Aside from real estate, what’s more important for all of us to keep in mind heading into the winter months is to keep ourselves safe from COVID and help keep those around us safe.

There has been much controversy over acts as simple and basic as the wearing of masks.

As we all enter the cooler winter months it’s so important to continue keeping as many people safe as possible and to continue wearing masks.

When showing properties, it’s required that everyone wear masks, use shoe coverings and remain socially distant.

Real Estate Heading Into the Winter Months

almost here, the question many people are facing is – do you participate in handing out treats to kids? …or just turn off the lights and call it a night?

I wish I had the answer to that question as I’m still trying to make the safest decision possible myself! I’m leaning toward simply turning the lights off as I have a feeling most children will be staying home this year due to COVID-19.

If you do decide to hand out treats, please follow the basic rules; wear masks and keep as far a distance as reasonably able.

I do keep a small bottle of alcohol with me and spray my hands and surfaces others touch routinely. This is a simple way to help keep all surfaces

as virus-free as possible.Whatever you decide, please

be safe and remain well heading through the remainder of the year!

A visitor to the San Fernando Valley in the early 20th century would have been treated to the sight of more than a dozen ranches dotting the plain.

But there were few herds of cattle throwing up clouds of dust across the Valley floor; not many chuckwagons emitting odors of hearty meals being prepared; and only a small number of rugged-looking cowpunchers packing six-shooters on their hips.

In fact, most of the Valley’s cowboys wore make-up and were more concerned with looking good rather than rounding up errant steers. The only ranches of importance in the Valley were movie ranches, and they played a pivotal role in the history of motion pictures.

In their book The Western, George Fenin and William Everson, sum up the attraction of the genre: “The western theme, based on the triplex system of the hero, the adventure, and the law, has at all times been fascinating to movie audiences.”

There were two kinds of movie ranches, those bought by

The Reel Hist ry of the Valley

By Martin M. Cooper

Movie Ranches: More Cameras Than Cows film companies specifically for location shooting, and ranches created to rent their facilities to smaller studios and production companies that couldn’t afford their own spread.

By far the most popular movie location was the Iverson Movie Ranch; film historians estimate that more than 2,500 motion pictures and television shows shot some or all of their outdoor scenes at the Iverson Ranch.

In the 1880s, Augusta Wagman, a Swedish immigrant, homesteaded 150 acres in northwest Chatsworth. In October 1888, she married Norwegian immigrant Carl Iverson. They expanded their holding to more than 500 acres, and, by about 1912, were allowing movies to be shot on their property. Perhaps the first film shot on the Iverson’s property was D.W. Griffith’s “Man’s Genesis” in 1912.

They soon concluded that there was more money to be made in movie-making than ranching or farming.

By 1920, the Iverson Ranch was the most popular location

for westerns and other outdoor filming. In addition to its rugged terrain and numerous trails, over the years the Iversons built a complete western street and ranch sets, numerous miners’ cabins, stagecoach relay stations and

other structures.Parts of what is perhaps the

greatest western ever made, “Stagecoach” (1939), starring John Wayne, were filmed at Iverson. Republic Pictures shot scores of Western films and serials at the ranch.

With the advent of television, the ranch hosted productions

of “The Roy Rogers Show,” “The Gene Autry Show,” “The Cisco Kid” and “Zorro.” Scores of popular TV show, including “The Virginian,” “Bonanza” and “Gunsmoke,” were also filmed at the Iverson

But not only westerns were filmed on the ranch; the Iverson Ranch stood in for Africa, India,

and even Pacific Islands. John Wayne’s “The Fighting Seabees “(1944), “The African Queen” (1951), starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, and even “The Lives of a Bengal Lancer” (1935), starring Gary Cooper and Franchot Tone, were filmed in whole or in part at the ranch.

“The Silver Treasure,” left, a 1926 silent film shot at the Iverson Movie Ranch. One of the lesser parts was played by a young actress named Hedda Hopper.

Jerry England, who has written extensively about the Iverson, noted: “Iverson’s eccentric system of charging film-makers included a charge of 50 cents per day for each person entering the ranch, 25 cents per horse per day, $1 per day for light vehicles, $2 per day for trucks, and $100 per day for each additional camera and generator. There were additional charges for electricity and water usage.”

The advent of the Simi Valley Freeway (118) split the Iverson Ranch in half. The freeway’s noise, along with the near-demise of the western film genre, spelled the ranch’s doom. One of the last films shot on the ranch was “Support Your Local Sheriff” in 1968, starring James Garner and Joan Hackett. Not surprisingly, it was a spoof of westerns.

VNG: Has this pandemic changed your perspective of the industry you’re in?

DT: Pets have become more of a lifeline than ever for people during this pandemic. Many people are getting pets as they spend more time at home and realizing the positive impact of sharing your life with animals. Most clinics are busier than usual as people are home watching their pets more closely. Somebody called it “Observitis”.

VNG: How do you want this experience to change you or change your business moving forward?

DT: I’m spending a lot more time at home and have used this time to focus on cooking for my family and pets. My passion is cooking healthy meals for my dogs and cats and I’m proud of the premix supplement I developed called Holistic Vet Blend to balance their food and a cookbook coming out shortly on how to cook quick and healthy meals at home on your stove, slow cooker, or Instant Pot.

VNG: What is giving you hope right now?DT: That we will learn from this experience to better our health care

system and develop effective treatments for COVID.

money and in-kind donations. Pastor April Belt spends part of each week making sure they have to money and food to meet their needs. “We are lucky. We’ve only had to shut down for one or two weeks at the beginning while we figured out how to feed people without being able to serve dinner.”

“So far, all are donors have stuck with us” says Pastor April. They have been stretching the donations by asking some of the long-time volunteers to bring desert or snacks each week. The number of homeless who show up each week as remained steady, although a number of people who had been becoming have recently been housed at the shelter in North Hills. There are always new faces every week. Some come back, some don’t.

Pastor April and the volunteers at NFHC try to stay out of the politics of homelessness in the area. They are there to serve and provide clothing and other necessities. That is a large enough job for now.

It’s Friday night in Woodland Hills and there are hungry people to feed. Whether they take meals to go or sit socially distanced at the site, NFHC will be there to feed them.
