NEWS IN BRIEF By Tim Gaspar

Does your restaurant’s insurance cover outdoor dining?

The L.A. Al Fresco program has been very successful here in Los Angeles. Seemingly overnight our West Valley has become a village of sidewalk cafes and bistros allowing our favorite restauranteurs to continue operating during COVID. Seating guests outdoors, however does have its own risks. If you are a restaurant owner, it is important to make a phone call to your local insurance agent letting them know you are seating guests outside. Most insurance carriers will allow this type of dining setup with little or no additional insurance cost as long as they get a heads up.

You would never allow your guests to be in harm’s way inside your restaurant, but have your addressed areas of concern out on the sidewalk or your parking lot? Here are a few items you can proactively address to ensure your guests and staff are safe;

1. Inspect your sidewalk, parking lot and driveway for any large cracks that a stiletto heel can fit into, allowing someone to trip and fall. These cracks can be patched easily by a local handyman or contractor (the city won’t mind, you are doing them a favor).

2. For evening dining, install appropriate exterior lighting. Additionally, use reflective tape to help identify changes in elevation or other hazards.

3. Install barriers such as traffic barrels, guard rails and fillable barricades between your diners and parking areas. This is a big one, we all hear stories of someone mistaking the gas pedal for the brake pedal. Some careful planning on your part could save someone’s life.

Councilmember Blumenfield is making headway to address the homelessness issue with a plan to house up to 250 individuals of Council District 3 in new “cabin communities” at two locations in the district: one with 55 temporary shelters (up to

104 persons) behind his Reseda district office in the parking lot at Vanalden Ave. and Archwood St., just south of Vanowen St.; and 76 temporary shelters (up to 146 persons) at a METRO lot at Reseda Blvd. and Topham St., in Tarzana. The projects,

slated to open in spring of 2021, will provide emergency shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness to help bridge their transition from living on the streets to finding services and, ultimately, living in transitional and/or permanent housing.

The safety and security for you, your family and business is vanishing in the Los Angeles region as the days, weeks and months pass…

Many of the elected officials at Los Angeles City Hall and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors have lost sight of their responsibility to the voters that have elected them to serve in office. An example is Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti who recently referred to police officers as “killers” then pushed to reduce the LAPD budget by $150 million dollars and expects police personnel to risk their lives and welfare of their families to “Protect and Serve” the people of Los Angeles.

On September 22, Mayor Garcetti sent the following letter to the “LAPD Family.” The letter reads as follows…

“Dear LAPD Family. I wanted to send this note to share my gratitude for your faithful service as a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. Your oath, courage and dedication has never been more important and your commitment to fair and equal justice has never been more critical to the future of the city we love.

Standing up against racial injustice is part of our heritage as Americans, and it is our duty to protect and facilitate the First Amendment rights of our community members. But we must and absolutely will draw the line at allowing anyone to target you for violence or our workplace for destruction.

That is why I am working closely with Chief Moore to quickly invest in new protective eyewear for the men and women who wear the uniform and are facing new and unexpected dangers. And we will never stop working to bring justice to those who break our laws and put anyone - officers, demonstrators, bystanders in harm’s way.

We are taking historic and unprecedented action to further embrace and expand L.A.’s commitment to 21st century policing by standing for peace, confronting the legacy of structural racism head-on, and taking new steps to strengthen bonds with the communities you serve with honor every day. Each one of you is an indispensable partner in this work, and I am proud to see you meeting the moment with professionalism, integrity, and compassion. Thank you for your service.

Sincerely, Eric Garcetti, Mayor.”

You will notice that the comment “we will never stop working to bring justice to those who break our laws and put anyone - officers, demonstrators,

bystanders in harm’s way” are simply empty words. When the LAPD made numerous arrests during the most recent L.A. riot involving looting and burning of buildings and police cars in the Fairfax and Valley communities, those arrested for failing to disperse and resisting arrest were released and walked away without facing any criminal charges. In fact, the L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer dropped all curfew charges against those arrested. Individuals then turned around and filed civil claims against the city. How much will they be paid for being arrested is another story….

Then there is L.A.

Councilmember Mike Bonin from the Westside who has turned his district into a welcome community for the homeless with little regard for the taxpaying residents and business owners of that region. Following the ambush shooting of two Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputies, Bonin published the following…

The shooting of two Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies in Compton over the weekend was brutal and sickening. I’m praying for their full and fast recovery, and hope the shooter is found and prosecuted.

“The protests of the horrifying killing of Dijon Kizzee are righteous and urgently necessary. He should

be alive today, as should George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Andres Guardardo, Brendon Glenn, Ezell Ford, Tamir Rice and countless others. Their killers should face justice.

Deputies arresting reporters, surrounding news conferences with armed personnel, and firing chemical irritants at protesters are unacceptable acts of force and intimidation. Sheriff Villanueva and his department must be held accountable.

Acts of violence, force and brutality are cascading and crashing into each other. One act follows another, but is not justified by what came before. Life is sacred, we need healing and we need peace and for either, we must have justice.”

Bonin has faced recall efforts and is out of touch with most of his voters and for that fact most of the hard-working people of greater L.A. He has even pushed for a new tax on vacant residential structures. This is in addition to all the other taxes you pay for parcels in L.A.

We’ve just watched the contentious presidential debate - where battles were clearly attributed to Republican or Democratic goals and ideals.

Much has been written about political polarization in the U.S. and how a heated political climate has drawn a line in the sand between voters.

But heading into the 2020 presidential election, self-censorship also is on the rise - including at the workplace, where some people fear sharing their political views.

Nearly a third of employed Americans worry they could lose their jobs or be passed over for career advancements if their political opinions become known, according to a Cato Institute survey.

For business leaders trying to build a strong culture, knowing how to manage political expression and discussions in the workplace is critical, says Joel Patterson, a workplace culture expert, founder of The Vested Group and ForbesBooks author.

“Unfortunately, things have gotten so divisive that even if somebody just wears a shirt or makes an innocuous comment, somebody is going to get upset,” Patterson says. “When people at work are afraid to say anything political, that fearfulness isn’t conducive to a cohesive work environment. Rather than ignore

How to Prevent Political Discussionsfrom Polarizing the Workplace

it or futilely try to shutter it, business owners and managers are better off having a plan to deal with the political dynamic so it won’t disrupt their business and drive their employees apart.”

Patterson offers tips to help business leaders manage political discussions and tensions, and keep politics in proper perspective, in the workplace:

Make company culture the first priority. Having an established set of company core values is highly beneficial in giving

your team a framework for how they interact with peers, clients, and other professional contacts externally, Patterson says. “If you have a solid workplace culture, then core values like respect for others, including respect for others’ opinions, will carry the day and overcome political disagreements,” he says. “An emphasis on core values reminds everyone that they are all on the same team.”

Give flexibility – within reason. “Most people don’t want or expect a formal workplace policy related to politics in the

workplace,” Patterson says. “The leadership team of your business needs to let employees know they are valued as individuals while emphasizing that leaving politics out of the workplace is the best practice for all involved. Let your employees know you are flexible with their comfort level, but they are also accountable for how they conduct themselves as a representative of your company.”

Keep political programs off the office TVs. “You don’t want to invite arguments,” Patterson says.

“Making sure that office TVs, especially in the break room, are not tuned to political programs is an easy preventive measure. Sometimes the news and panel discussions get people wound up.”

De-escalate, don’t instigate. As a manager or business owner, employees will be watching to see how you handle a heated political conversation between workers. “Try to cool things off and lead by example,” Patterson says. “If the employees persist, tell them that their loud

conversation is distracting to a productive work environment. If someone you work with is expressing a viewpoint that doesn’t coincide with yours, a mental note to yourself to agree to disagree often does the trick.”

“Handling political talk isn’t something business owners and managers should be afraid of,” Patterson says. “It’s an opportunity to ease the tension their employees feel and remind them that no matter their differences, they can remain strong together.”

Nearly a third of Americans worry they could lose their jobs if their political opinions become known.

Rotary’s Good Works Are in the Bag Rotary’s motto is

“Service Above Self” and the Woodland Hills Rotary again demonstrated that this week as they packed over 200 lunches for the Hollywood Food Coalition. Fourteen Rotary families made and packed the lunches - and seven helpers were under the age of 12. Some bags were even packed by a physically challenged young woman who got help from her nurse and caregiver. The bags were decorated by the residents of Pacific Lodge. The effort was a community service project chaired by Rotarian Kim Ary. Rotarian Sheri Polak said, “It’s an amazing feeling in this time of such unrest to get the feeling of doing something like this in a community.”

Why not pick up a copy of the classic “Fahrenheit 451,” a previously banned book, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ray Bradbury.

By Katie Sterling2020 is without a doubt

the year that everyone needs a vacation from. Unfortunately, due to travel restrictions, big adventures aren’t in the cards but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t great, and safe, choices closer to home.

Looking to escape the everyday mayhem, a road trip north was in order. Tucked alongside the rugged coastline of Mendocino was our staycation destination oasis, Brewery Gulch Inn.

Crafted out of the redwoods that neighbor it, this 10-room inn presents itself as a rustic resort that seems to have naturally sprung out of the nature that

Escape to an Oasis of Calm at Brewery Gulch

comfortable as possible.With that being said, the

communal aspect was perhaps one of the best parts of staying at Brewery Gulch. While you could just as easily venture off to a quiet spot on the property, each night guests are invited to gather in the great room for a complimentary wine and appetizer evening. Proprietor Guy Pacurar pours wine from his own curated label, Fathers and Daughters, while chatting about your day’s adventures, recommending future excursions or local wineries to check out. Guests chat across tables and strangers become friends.

Included in the complimentary wine hour are delectable bites from Executive Chef James Hardenburg. Previously presented as shared appetizers pre-COVID, guests are now treated to personal plates that reflect the curated weekly menu of locally sourced and organic items including offerings from the inn’s own garden. Each small bites meal, whether it be homemade crab cakes or braised short ribs, is a seasonal and culinary

experience not to be missed in the Inn’s offerings. With delectable food on offer, wine aplenty (as well as available to purchase) and stunning views, there’s really no need to ever venture away from this hospitable hideaway.

However, for those looking to explore, there are plenty of options to fill your day including the myriad of wineries that line the coast. While a bit far from the inn, planning your vineyard visits is ideal not only for time’s sake, but also due to the fact that many wineries are now reservation only to control the flow of individuals during this COVID period. Brewery Gulch Inn is more than happy to help plan your tastings and point out the added perk that inn guests are treated to waived tastings fees and discounts at select wineries such as Toulouse and Husch.

For those looking for a more family friendly excursion, perhaps the most famous local attraction is the Skunk Train. This historic train that originated from lumber operations, named back in the day when locals could “smell it before they see it” is now a

modern (and unsmelly) tourist outing in the neighboring town of Fort Braggs. Kids and adults alike will be awed as the train traverses through the scenic redwoods alongside Pudding Creek Estuary, fully surrounded by nature and following the similar rail line as that of the 1880s. Snacks and beverages are also available for this seven-mile trek, including a specialty curated Skunk Train beer! While still undetermined due to the virus, keep an eye out in later months as the train hopefully transforms into a Pumpkin Express in late fall and a Magical Christmas train year end.

Brewery Gulch Inn can even create personalized itineraries for you depending on your interests and timeframe. From mushroom foraging and kayaking to horseback riding and spa pampering, there are activities for everyone. Simply inquire within the inn and they’ll set about crafting the perfect agenda for your stay. It’s no wonder that Brewery Gulch has been awarded, among other accolades, 13 Four Star

Diamond Awards from AAA for impeccable service and amenities.

Fully spent from the day, retreat back to the haven of Brewery Gulch, turn on your personal en suite fireplace, pamper yourself with Molton Brown bath products and debate which delicious included breakfast dishes you’ll order in the morning. Will it be the homemade biscuits with maple sausage and sage gravy? The lemon ricotta pancakes with whipped blood orange butter? Trust me, any choice is an amazing choice. Concluding your getaway, turn in your golden “Lookout Room” key and retreat down the gravel path knowing your stay at Brewery Gulch Inn has lent you a reprieve from the insanity of 2020. After all, don’t we all deserve to treat ourselves to a small oasis of calm this year?

surrounds it. As such, the calming demeanor of the environment is perfect for guests looking to escape the hustle and bustle of life and simply just unwind.

Entering the inn, the cozy interior is magnified by the glass fireplace that commands the center of the communal great room. With tables spaced to ensure social distancing, the room is at your leisure to curl up with a book, play a board game or simply sit outside on the patio and enjoy the views. After all, one of the greatest highlights of the inn’s location is the unobstructed view of Smuggler’s Cove and the crashing waves of the Pacific that is viewable not only from the patio but from the guest rooms’ windows.

With limited capacity, the attention to guests (as well as health and safety) is top notch and all measures have been taken to ensure that guests are comfortable during this pandemic period. Masks are required, hand sanitizers are aplenty and the inn itself is cleaned multiple times a day. For those who are still a bit germ-hesitant, Brewery Gulch Inn even offers contactless check-in so that visitors can be as personally

is a hematologist oncologist who practices at UCLA Encino.

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

NS: I treat cancer and most of my patients are immunocompromised, so they are at a higher risk of bad outcomes from COVID19 infection. Regardless of this, their treatment is essential. We have had to be extra vigilant in protective efforts in order to limit or prevent exposure to the infection.

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

NS: Access to technology. We have been utilizing Telehealth much more frequently since the pandemic started. It is surprising the lack of good internet service available to so many patients.

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

NS: We started utilizing Telehealth to limit in-person office visits. In addition, we have set up screening stations to screen every individual entering the office.

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

NS: Yes. I am so proud of all the front line workers! When the

pandemic was new and we were just learning about this infection, the front line workers selflessly still came to work to provide health care.

I cannot be more proud to be a part of this industry at this time!

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

NS: I think we will continue to utilize Telehealth much more, even after this pandemic is controlled. I feel we will, in general, utilize technology much more moving forward.

VNG: What is giving you hope right now? NS: I am very hopeful that we will have a

vaccine in the next few months.

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

TB: Since we do so much shopping for the show with the malls shut down we’ve had to shift to online shopping. We have to plan well in advance to get shipments in on time, amd if it’s a specialty item the writers and producers have to let the Costume Department know to order it in advance. We’re paying a ton extra in overnight deliveries. Also everything that comes on the lot has to be sanitized. We have tents set up where we spray everything with a natural mix of thyme and another element. It’s very pungent but it dissipates quickly. But everything we bring into the building - all clothing and accessories - has to be sprayed and sit for a half an hour. It adds a lot more time to the process.

They have done an amazing job. I really feel safe. We have a COVID Compliance Officer on site who reminds everyone to obey the rules and regulations. The production company has gone to the extreme and spared no expense to keep everyone safe. We get tested three times a week and get our temperature checked every time we enter the stage.

On the weekends get a memo

– stay safe this weekend so we can all return to set safely.

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

TB: They have limited the number of people who can be on the actual set. The only one allowed from wardrobe is the continuity girl. We can only bring what needs to be rushed on set if someone forgot their jacket or jewelry for example. Everyone on set has to wear a face shield as the actors are exposed, obviously, as they don’t wear masks.

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

TB: Some departments had to move offices so far away from the set - and the bathrooms! Everyone is in

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

TB: It used to be like a big family on set. They’ve scaled down the crew so much and segregated us all. I’ve been with this group for 20 years and barely see them since we’re all in our own zones. I can’t visit with the camera guys and talk to them. You can’t get near certain people you used to hang out with.

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

TB: It’s going to be really good for small, independent projects. They are smaller and don’t have such large productions and sets. On the lot we’re limited to how many people cna be in the footprint. Smaller companies will be able to make films in a more timely manner.

The team at Total Health Dentistry of Encino, led by owner Dr. Isaac Comfortes, is dedicated to the relationship of oral health and whole body health. They educate patients about mouth-body connections and collaborate with medical professionals to help bridge the gap between medical and dental communities.

The oral-systemic connection is the new paradigm in dentistry. Managing gum disease and eliminating infected teeth is the key to oral and systemic health. They are one of the few dental practices that focus on the oral-systemic link. It is their purpose to educate our community on the connection between their oral health and systemic health to help them live healthier, longer lives.

Immunity is the body’s ability to fight off disease. Many of us are familiar with ways to strengthen our immune system like proper nutrition, exercise and adequate sleep. One area that is not often recognized is the importance of good oral health. Gum disease and infected teeth can greatly impact overall wellness and weaken our immune system.

The oral-systemic link has been documented with studies connecting oral disease

to such systemic diseases as diabetes and heart disease.

A new study published in the highly respected, peer-reviewed British Dental Journal in June 2020 concluded that poor oral hygiene may be

connected to serious Covid-19 complications due to high levels of harmful oral bacteria.

Visiting the dentist and daily good oral hygiene is fundamental to boosting your immune system.

Dr. Comfortes graduated from California State University and USC School of Dentistry and has practiced at the Encino location since 1976. He served on the USC faculty as an Assistant Clinical Professor and continues to lecture both nationally and internationally on smile enhancement procedures and the oral-systemic connection. He is married and has two children and is a second-generation dentist; his father also practiced dentistry.

Get Your Flu Shot Early Medical professionals all agree that this winter will bring a double

hit of the pandemic and impending flu season. The Centers for Disease Control has recommended getting the flu vaccine early to help prevent another epidemic - and keep local emergency rooms from being flooded and overcrowded with flu victims.

There are three types of shots - the standard, the preservative free shot and the shot for those over 65. Consult your physician and insurance company as to what shot is best for you and is covered by your specific insurance company. All experts agree, getting the flu shot early is your best defense against illness.

By Allie PrioreDo you ever feel like your

eyes are so dry from staring at your screens all day? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with the plethora of information you’re taking in? Do you ever get lost in an infinite scroll and before you know it hours have passed by? Well my friends, you are not alone.

Netflix recently released a documentary called “The Social Dilemma.” For those who have not watched yet, it basically explains how various social media platforms are designed to keep us engaged for hours and as a result we are becoming “addicted” to our devices. It was a pretty fascinating documentary and I highly suggest it for a moment of awakening and realization. After watching, it got me thinking about my own behavior with various social

media apps and how that might be affecting my own mental health.

After watching “The Social Dilemma,” there was no doubt in my mind that there is absolutely a connection between tech usage and mental health. There is not a day that goes by where social media does not play some part into my day - it is all around us, all the time. If you are anything like me you wake up in the

Give Me a Break! Turning Off Social Media...

morning and within the first 10 minutes have browsed your email, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. You find yourself constantly looking at your phone, eager and urgent to see if you’ve missed anything.

If you really take a moment to think about what a day in your life would look like without your phone it may be a bit eye opening. From ordering food to checking your bank accounts, from getting groceries to mapping out a route - our phones have become our lifelines. We can almost live entirely virtually through all the various platforms and applications our phones can utilize. Insane.

Even socializing has become digital as social media allows us to be in constant contact with friends and family.

It seems great and all, but this idea of a constant need for attention and instant gratification has become something we as humans now constantly crave. So often we need to feel this validation from the internet, specifically the various social platforms. To feel relevant, you must be active on at least one of the platforms. To be in the know means being connected through one of these social apps. The amount of info being thrown at you and then processed, along with the need for immediate gratification, is hindering to our mental health. The number

of likes received on a post can legitimately make or break a person’s mood, creating a strong sense of insecurity and thus, a lack of validation.

The adverse effects of social media are real and we need to be aware of that fact and be sure to allow ourselves mental breaks. In order to maintain some semblance of reality and self-worth, it is imperative to make

time for yourself away from your devices. That will look different for everybody, so find what works best for you. Maybe it’s a walk outside or getting lost in a book. Maybe you take a nice long bath, journal or meditate. Perhaps it is pouring yourself a nice glass of wine and listening to some music. Whatever it is, be sure it is time away from your social media platforms and allow your mind to drift and wander. Your mental capacity is only so much, and you do not want to overload it every day from constant interaction and usage.

I urge you to take some time to reflect about your own personal relationship with your devices and the platforms you frequent. Think about how often you stare at a screen, what you are spending most of your time doing, and how that is affecting your mood and mental clarity. See if there are aspects you would like to change or new habits you want to implement that can better that relationship. We are all humans, and no one is perfect. There are a lot of things that we cannot control in this life but one thing we can control is what we consume and how that effects our overall well-being. Take control back. Find your balance. See what positive shifts can take place from some simple everyday changes. You may just be surprised at the benefits you reap.

There is absolutely a connection between tech usage and mental health. There is not a day that goes by where social media does not play some part in my day...

benefit.

By Janey M. RifkinAs the new coronavirus

continues to spread, patients who have recovered from the disease are being warned by doctors, scientists, and public-health experts of the danger of reinfection.

At this time, no one is sure just how long immunity lasts. And, there are many among us who may have been asymptomatic, thus not aware of further dangers which might prey upon themselves or others.

“People should not let their guard down,” said Dr. Daniel Griffin, chief of infectious diseases for ProHealth Care New York. “There still are many unanswered questions and we need to treat this virus with respect.”

He and others noted that it is fairly common to quickly lose immunity to some viruses, one of which is a variety of the common cold which happens to also be under the mantle of coronavirus.

When a person is infected with Covid-19 (or another pathogen), the body mounts an immune response that includes producing antibodies that bind to the virus and trigger an

Information and Straight Talk

COVID-19 Survivors Warned - Do Not Let Your Guard Down immune cascade to neutralize it. Antibodies are produced by white blood cells - part of the immune system that learns to recognize special pathogens. The process neutralizes response the next

time the body is hit by the same pathogen.

Some physicians think they have seen a handful of cases of patients who were infected twice by the virus. When several members in a family have survived, one might be healthy for about six weeks, test negative, then relapse.

Be cautious – is the advice given to all Covid-19 survivors. It’s an issue which has significant implications for vaccine development and public-health guidelines.

At King’s College London, it was found that patients with milder Covid-19, rather than

those who had more severe illness, might be more susceptible to reinfection. A key question is whether the antibodies drop to a level that doesn’t protect one from infection.

Physicians think they have seen a handful of cases of patients who were infected twice by the virus. The 12th annual Calabasas

Calabasas CandidatesOffer Three Top

Priorities at ForumThe four candidates for two

open seats on the Calabasas City Council explained their three top priorities if elected at an online forum on Tuesday.

Running for City Council are incumbent Mayor Alicia Weintraub, Calabasas’ founding Mayor Dennis Washburn, Planning Commissioner Peter Kraut and resident and dentist Dr. Susan Fredericks-Ploussard.

Weintraub said her three biggest issues are the pandemic and keeping residents safe, working on the city budget with financial losses due to the pandemic hit to business, and disaster preparedness for fire and earthquake.

Washburn said his priorities were developing fire/life safety action zones, public safety communication systems and more fire protection suppression and recovery systems.

Fredericks-Ploussard said the biggest threat to the city was getting COVID under control. She also wanted to focus on the city budget that took a hit during the pandemic, and also thought fire and emergency preparedness were a priority.

Kraut again reiterated his desire to hire a grant writer to garner funds for fire protection and emergency services. He wanted to improve the city’s wireless serves and work harder to improve public input into the housing element for the city plan.

This “magical” estate in Hidden Hills offers 2.45 acres of manicured lush grounds with mature oaks and hedges. French paned windows and doors overlook this one-of-a-kind sanctuary. The home offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a cook’s kitchen with breakfast nook and adjacent great room with fireplace. The master suite has a private office, massive walk-in closet space, dual bathrooms and a private balcony that overlooks the pool and spa. The property offers a championship tennis court with a fully equipped guest house. There is a separate area for parking cars. Listed at $6,195,000 by Michael Bloom of The Agency Calabasas (Lic#0118840) and Mark Shevin of Berkshire Hathaway (ic#00559629). For more information on this listing call Bloom at (818) 207-2088.

Historic Preservation Meeting Oct. 7The Calabasas Historical Preservation Commission will meet

By Neill SimmonsThe highlight of September is

our closest approach with the red planet, Mars, which takes place from October 6 to the 13.

Once every two years, Mars and Earth get very close. Make sure to go out each night in October and watch the red planet get brighter, wider, and bigger until October 13. Look east after 8:30 pm as Mars climbs high in the eastern night sky. After awakening in the early morning, look west at 6 am and notice how bright Mars is in the west. Make sure to look on Friday, October 2, when the full Harvest Moon will be next to Mars in the east.

Since Mars and Earth are closer, it makes sense to send a rocket to the red planet. At this very moment, three new rockets are on their way from NASA, China, and the United Arab Emirates. They are all planning on a February 2021 landing.

We are very excited about the mission from JPL and NASA, which is carrying the first helicopter which will be launched after the “Rover” lands.

It has been reported by the Italian authorities that their satellite, which orbits Mars, discovered four new “salt lakes” under the South Pole ice cap. At this time we can see the South Pole ice caps with a small telescope or very good binoculars.

October brings us the “Harvest Moon” on October 2 and a “Blue Moon” on Halloween

Nighttrek Report: What to See in the October Sky

The red planet Mars,

Uranus, at right.

night. A “Blue Moon” is the second

full moon in a calendar month. It rarely happens hence the saying “Once in a Blue Moon” to signify something that doesn’t happen very often. Tell your “Trick or Treaters” this fun fact.

October 1, 2, and 3 look low in the west about 45 minutes after the Sun sets to see a small, bright point of light which is the planet, Mercury. Binoculars will help to spot it.

This is a great month to see meteors. Three events will be happening this month. The Draconid Meteor Shower will occur on the night of Wednesday the 7th. The Orionid Meteor Shower peaks on Wednesday,

the 21st. The Southern Taurids Meteor Shower will occur on October 29, but the full Moon’s light will be a problem.

Conjunctions in astronomy are when objects appear to be very close to each other but are

actually millions of miles away. Look due south after 7 pm

on October 22 and 23 to view the conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon. The next night, the Moon will be in a conjunction with Saturn. With binoculars the four largest moons of Jupiter are easy to spot. A few nights later on October 29 the moon will be next to the red planet, Mars.

Once a year the Earth is in a good spot to see the blue planet

Uranus. That happens to be on Halloween night, the 31st.

With binoculars, you might be able to see the blue planet in the south. However, this is only possible if viewing is away from the city lights.

Venus is even brighter than Mars in the early morning sky. Look east between 5 am to 6:30 am.

The best constellation to see this month is the vain queen of the night, Cassiopeia. This patten of stars looks like a giant “W” in the northeast. If you can get away from the city lights, notice the Milky Way band of stars appears to go through Cassiopeia.

The giant “Summer Triangle” is still bright and in the west after dark.

Look east to see four bright stars in the shape of a square. This is the famous constellation Andromeda.

Andromeda is a special constellation because our nearest galaxy, also named Andromeda, is located within its borders. The galaxy can be seen with the naked eye if the night sky is dark enough.

Mark October 5 on your calendar. The International Space Station (ISS) will appear out of the northwest at 7:55 pm. Watch as it moves across the northern sky and disappears into the Earth shadow three minutes later. Remember the ISS is traveling at 17,200 miles per hour and has no blinking lights.

In 2017, the State of California made it easier to build ADU’s, or Accessory Dwelling Units – “Granny Flats,” as an initiative to increase the rental units available for the growing population of the state.

As a partner to this movement, the City of Los Angeles has made it possible to add a rental unit to a residential property without also subjecting homeowners to the previously-grueling process of obtaining a zoning variance.

Regardless, the process of permitting

Can Your Garage Make You Money?

an ADU is still complex and requires a financial analysis to see if the investment is right for you.

If you reside in a residentially zoned district in Los Angeles, it is possible to convert a garage or an existing room, or even add up to 1,200 feet of new floor space for

an ADU. There are several rules and restrictions that govern what can be done on your property, and a broad spectrum of designs and finishes that will determine the how and how much of a potential project. Bottom line, for approximately the same cost of new residential construction, you may now have a contractor build a permitted, rent-generating unit that can help pay for groceries for your teenagers or,

as an alternative, provide years of housing for your college graduate.

The City of Los Angeles’ Department of Building and Safety provides a convenient handbook that provides the homeowner with general guidelines on ADU’s ( h t t p s : / / w w w.ladbs .org/docs/defaul t -source /p u b l i c a t i o n s /misc-publications/adu-guidebook.pdf?sfvrsn=12).

As a growing business, there are many designers, architects and general contractors that can help you with your project.

conquered many obstacles during her 87 years. She never gave up when turned down for a job. She continued to challenge the system and ultimately was appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court. While small in stature, she was a powerhouse when it came to the law and dealing with people. She was a very good friend of Justice Antonin Scalia whom was her ideological opposite. In spite of their opposite views on the law, they remained close friends over the years. What we can learn from them and use in our relationships is the following….Our friendships are not simply an expression of our humanity. Friendship rests in a fundamental pillar we share. We just need to focus on that pillar and grow from there.

The November National Election is approaching….. I will be reviewing the various ballot propositions and giving you

my recommendations. Should you vote Yes or No? So you want to pay more taxes? Are you happy with the way L.A. and California are moving? This November will be your time to voice your opinion at the ballot box. Stay tuned to that edition coming up in the October 16 edition of RantZ and RaveZ……

I have established a new award for Los Angeles area elected and appointed officials. The award is called the Los Angeles Elected and Appointed Officials Increased Victimization Award.

The award will go to the person who has done the most to jeopardize public safety and increase victimization among those living in the Los Angeles area.

I welcome your suggestions on candidates for this award…..
