NEWS IN BRIEF

The Village at Westfield Remains Open

No “President Yeezy”Hidden Hills resident and rapper Kanye West, having

missed the voter registration deadline in six states, has withdrawn his rather dubious bid for the U.S. Presidency. No word on his next move, though possibly he’ll concentrate on his Yeezy apparel line. Elon Musk, who endorsed him and who West said would be his next head of the space program, can concentrate on Tesla.

Two File for Calabasas City Council SeatsThis week two candidates filed

paperwork to be on the November ballot for two open Calabasas City Council seats.

Councilmember Fred Gaines has announced he is not running again and will vacate his seat when the term is up. He has served two terms and 10 years on the City Council. He is going to devote his efforts to his law practice and new position as Chair of the Valley Economic Alliance. “I feel it’s a good run,” he said.

Incumbent Mayor Alicia Weintraub’s seat is also open.

Filing for candidates is open until August 12. The election will be held November 3 in conjunction with the national presidential election.

At press time, two Calabasas residents have filed to run for the open seats.

Incumbent Mayor Alicia Weintraub filed papers with the City Clerk. Weintraub, a land use

analyst, has been on City Council since 2015. She has served on the city’s environmental commission for two years, and was Vice Chair of the Planning Commission. Mechanical engineer Peter Kraut has also filed. Kraut currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Calabasas Planning Commission. He is an assistant Scoutmaster and serves as a volunteer for

Engineers Without Borders. In a statement to Valley News

Group Weintraub said, “I have decided to seek re-election to the Calabasas City Council. During this time, I have been proud of my achievements relating to civic engagement, enhancing public safety, working through complicated land use issues and

By Kathleen SterlingThey’re rolling out smart in

Woodland Hills!The new Amazon grocery

store will introduce their new “Dash Cart” technology when the store opens at 6245 Topanga Canyon Blvd., on the site of the old Toys R Us.

Dash Carts use computer vision and sensors to add up a shopper’s purchases, and then charges them when they exit the store. No cash – all dash!

A screen at the top of the cart lets shoppers see their running total in a shopping list. As you place an item in the cart it automatically gets added to your receipt. When you check out your purchases are charged to the credit card on file on your Amazon account.

“Our primary motivation for building this was to be able to save customers time,” said

Dilip Kumar, VP of Amazon’s physical retail and technology, according to CNET. “The alternative solutions are standing in the express checkout lanes or fumbling through self-checkout stations.”

No opening date has been announced

yet for the grocery store. Amazon Grocery was scheduled to open earlier this year, but was switched to a distribution facility when the pandemic struck. It is currently still operating as a dispersal center for online orders, however, foodstuffs are being loaded in for the grocery portion so hopefully the opening is imminent.

The Village at Westfield Topanga, an outdoor mall, remains open with many retailers and restaurants still operational. Hours are 11 am to 7 pm. Westfield issued the following statement: “For the health and safety of our community, Westfield Topanga has limited indoor operations. Our essential stores, outdoor dining and retailers with outside entrances will also continue to operate as well the center’s Curbside Pick Up program. More information on open stores available at westfield.com/topanga. If you have questions, please reach out to [email protected].”

Telephone Town Hall on HomelessnessCouncilman Bob Blumenfield will host a telephone town

hall on homelessness on Wednesday, July 22, from 6 to 7 pm. He will be joined by leading homelessness experts Heidi Marston, Executive Director for Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority, and Ken Craft, President/CEO for Hope of the Valley, to offer updates, regional challenges, and to discuss progress on the pending court settlement led by US Judge David Carter.

Elvis’ Grandson Commits Suicide Calabasas resident and Elvis

Presley’s grandson Benjamin Keough, at right with a picture of his grandfather, committed suicide Sunday at the family home. Keough is the son of Lisa Marie Presley. He reportedly shot himself in the head and was found locked in a bathroom, slumped on the toilet, in a scene eerily similar to the death of his grandfather Elvis 43 years ago. The Suicide Prevention Hotline number is (800) 273-8255.

Hosted by Dean Cain (“Supergirl,” “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”), “Masters of Illusion” features magic performed by 46 national and international illusionists, escape artists and performers, 10 of which are women, displaying skills ranging from perplexing interactive mind magic to hilarious comedy routines.

Alonzo, with his trademark Groucho Marx eyebrows and Harold Lloyd glasses, will soon reprise his role of “Max,” the hilarious diner owner, in a reboot of “Saved by the Bell” streaming on Peacock from NBC Universal.

Alonzo made his first appearances on “Saved By The Bell” in the late 80s.

Comedian Dana Carvey, right, will headline the “Comics for Kids” benefit for the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley on November 14. Carvey is a stand-up comedian, impressionist, screenwriter, and producer.

Center Chamber of Commerce, a 90-year-old institution, was able to keep its doors open during these unprecedented times for the business community and community members to lean upon for assistance and support.

“When asked if there was anything more to add I said ‘Yes, much more.” I kept it to a dozen - short and sweet so that people will read through to know the important work of the West Valley-Warner Center Chamber of Commerce.”

On March 20, the Chamber released a website containing a Covid 19 Resource Guide, which is being updated throughout this time with revised information.

The website also provided:- Access to webinars and other

resources to assist in applying for various funding programs.

- Access to elected officials who held town halls, telebriefings and various virtual meetings.

- Access to elected officials’ knowledgeable staff members to assist them.

The chamber also created a “Support Local” guide to

With regards to legislation the chamber wrote letters to elected officials to increase needed funding, increase PPP duration and recovery funding to continue with re-opening.

• More car chatter. Bumper snicker on a fancy Mercedes Benz driven by an expensive looking blond – “Treat your lady like a thoroughbred and she won’t act like a nag.”

• Try this one. The personalized license plate “3NOZX3S” reads better upside down.

• My friend Dave went to a doctor, who told him to knock off all his bad habits, eat oatmeal and drink only water for good health. “I feel much better,” Dave told me, “since I went to another doctor!”

By Lindsey Sine No matter what your

marketing objectives might be, there is one thing that is vital to their success: building trust. In a world where people demand transparency, the best way to begin building trust with your audience is by humanizing your brand. So, what exactly does this mean?

To humanize your brand is to make your brand relatable, less robotic and more real. This is vital to your company’s success for three main reasons. First, it helps tell your brand’s story. Your audience will get to know you and what your company is all about.

Next, people trust people way before they will trust robotic marketing tactics. We are bombarded with hundreds of ads

Local Small Business Relief Loan Program Extended

Tips and Tricks forHumanizing Your Brand

A local small business loan program spearheaded by Councilmembers Bob Blumenfield, John Lee and Joe Busaino has been expanded to more communities. With the help of The Change Reaction the loan ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 will be available to local businesses with 15 or fewer employees and revenue around $1 million. Repayment terms on the no-interest loans are flexible and all repayments will basically be redistributed to other small businesses, for what Blumenfield calls “a positive chain reaction.” If you are a small business owner and would like to apply for relief funds, you need to submit proof of 12 months of timely paid rent through March 2020, and have submitted an Economic Injury Disaster Loan Application to the U.S. Small Business Administration. To find out more go to https://changereaction.org/small-business-relief-funds and to apply in CD3, go to https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Dw6KKcypcmJlyWKTyF-lCQ5IFIPAp-aviBZDOOOwoD0/viewform?edit_requested=true.

on a daily basis and it is important to make sure that your marketing stands out- in a good way! We have all seen terrible cookie cutter ads that look like they’re boasting a super sketchy product or service and what do we do? We avoid them like the plague.

Lastly, humanizing your brand will help build a long term relationship with your audience which means that your marketing efforts will result in better engagement and a bigger bottom line. To help you achieve this, we have put together some tips that will help to simplify this process.

1. Find Your Brand VoiceFirst things first- find your

By Janey M. RifkinWhen he is not performing

orthopedic surgery, Dr. Arthur Kreitenberg tinkers in his

New Idea “Slow “ to Catch On Until COVID-19basement. The good doctor is also an inventor, proud of his latest creation that can kill several kinds of germs - using UV light to disinfect an entire airplane cabin. He points out that UV light can kill several kinds of germs but won’t make flying entirely safe.

This scenario all began with a volleyball. While attending one of his daughter’s college volleyball matches during the H1N1 outbreak of 2009, Dr. Kreitenberg noticed the players didn’t shake hands, thus reducing chances of spreading the virus. But all the players touched the same volleyball. Further inspired by the use of UV light to disinfect operating rooms, Dr. Kreitenberg invented a device dubbed the “Germ Ninja” to quickly disinfect the surgical suite as well as disinfect the volleyballs by passing UV light over them. The inventor and his son, Elliot, formed a partnership and traveled to many aviation trade shows and conferences to pitch the invention. Alas, the idea did not catch on quickly. Then, along came Covid-19 and it changed all that. Medical experts noted that UV light is already used at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hilton announced plans to use UV light to disinfect their rooms. Honeywell

International, the multinational conglomerate with $37 billion in sales, announced they are teaming up with Kreitenberg to build the UV invention and distribute it.

Honywell began in early June to meet with airlines and demonstrate the UV cabin

system. “The initial reaction has been very positive from airlines,” stated Adam Kress, Honeywell spokesman. “We believe this product has great potential at airlines worldwide.”

It was the coronavirus and the pandemic that reached the U.S. early this year and the 20 or so conventions that the doctor and son attended to spread word of the invention. The father-son team is not done yet. They are now working on a version of the Germ Falcon that can be used in classrooms, offices, buses and train stations, among other locations. There are a lot of questions as yet unknown about this virus. Kreitenberg acknowledges that his invention will only reduce the chances of spreading disease but won’t make flying entirely safe.

Janey Rifkin is a syndicated writer and local resident.

It all started with a volleyball...

Need a Little Freedom?When it comes to your health, freedom to choose may be very important to you. That’s why it could be valuable to have health insurance that:

great for your gut health. They help to maintain the good

bacteria you need to fight against sickness while helping to clean

your gut of all the toxins it is filled with. Eating yogurt is a

great way to get your probiotics into your diet. However if you are like

me and not a yogurt lover (unless its frozen yogurt obviously) then

a capsule form might be better. Like multi-vitamins

these come in various kinds. I personally love ones that are geared toward women’s health instead of a general one. You may find some are in a refrigerated section and I personally like those better since they have more live cultures in them.

5. Elderberry Syrup— what a magical creation of the world. Elderberry is an amazing anti-oxidant and so incredibly good for you. It really helps boost your immunity and in a time like this we can use all the boosting we can get. All it takes is one teaspoon a day.

All of the above mentioned products can be found at your local grocery store, drugstore or online. I tend to get mine from Whole Foods because I trust that the products are as natural as can be. Some of these can seem pricey at first but for me I am willing to spend the money. You cannot put a price tag on your life, so while it may seem a bit steep in the moment just think of the cost it would be if you were to get sick. I know it seems a bit overwhelming at first because each product has so many options. Do your research, take your time when you go to shop and find one that you like best. It may take a few trips to try different ones out until you find what you like. Just remember that it is your body and you get to decide what you put in it.

Immunity: More Important Than Ever

supplement form either as a pill or a spray to take on a daily basis.

2. Multi-vitamins — take one every day. This is your basic serving of all pertinent vitamins your body needs in one easy dose. There are multitudes of options out there for you to choose from. There are some geared specifically toward women’s health and men’s health, they come in gummy form or pill form. Take some time to look at different brands and see which one best serves you. This is a great way to ensure your body is getting all the nutrients it is needing in case your diet is not satisfying all that you need.

3. Mushroom Supplements — mushrooms are basically the most magical vegetable ever. They work wonders for your immune system and it is so easy to incorporate into your daily life. You do not have to eat mushrooms to reap their benefits, so do not worry if you are not a fan. They come in spray form (do not worry it does not taste like the veggie does), in capsule form or in powder form that you can add into coffee or shakes. There is even such a thing as mushroom coffee for those trying to kick a caffeine habit. Do yourself a favor and start adding mushrooms into your diet. It is actually so easy to do there is no excuse.

By Allie PrioreLet’s get immune!There is a lot happening in the

world right now and it is taking a toll on us mentally, emotionally and physically. Between social justice movements and a global pandemic, we are bound to feel a bit worn down, mentally drained or down right exhausted. There is so much happening beyond our control but taking care of ourselves both physically and mentally is something we can absolutely take control of.

With many of us starting to go back to work or begin exploring this new normal it is imperative we do all we can to stay safe. I wanted to share some ways you can boost your immune system from home to help you feel energized and to help you stay healthy.

When Covid hit and we began quarantine I felt extremely anxious and scared about it all. I told myself that since I cannot control what is happening in the outside world, I need to focus on what I can control and put into my body. Thus, I began a daily regimen consisting of vitamins and supplements that I take for my own peace of mind. I can control what I put into my body to make it as healthy as possible. Below are my favorite wellness go to’s for a happy and healthy body and mind:

1.Vitamin C — be sure to consume Vitamin C daily. This can be from foods that are rich in the nutrient such as oranges or orange juice. You can also buy it in

REAL ESTATE What’s Building Around TownNew ER at Kaiser

Progress is coming along well with Kaiser Permanente’s new,

state-of-the-art operating rooms and Emergency Department

construction project which is designed to meet the growing

needs of its members and the Valley. Contingent upon approval from the State and

regulatory bodies, the project is expected to be completed first

quarter 2021.

Long-Needed Traffic SignalA much needed left-turn traffic light was

recently installed at the corner of Fallbrook and Vanowen. The busy intersection is bounded on the west by Fallbrook Center, with Trader Joe’s, Sprouts and AMC at that particular end of the mall and has been the scene of many accidents. The West Hills Neighborhood Council had voted to urge the city to install the light. “We’ve known for years that this was an approved project but it had been waiting for funding. We had no idea it was going to be installed any time soon,” said Neighborhood Council President Dan Brin.

Fixing Fire Damage Construction has begun to repair

damage from the fire earlier this year at El Camino Shopping Center. Steve Fazio, whose Fazio Cleaners was destroyed by the fire, said he is working with the landlord, Regency Centers, and has submitted plans for his new cleaners. “We would like to put something reasonable in the space that works for both of us,” Fazio told Valley News Group. “The fire was not caused by our machines or chemicals, and we definitely want to reopen in the space.

We’ve been in this location at El Camino Center since 1973. I grew up in Woodland Hills,

went to El Camino and live in Woodland Hills. I’m invested in the community.”

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OFJOHN EARL ISHAMCASE 20STPB04714

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, and contingent creditors of and persons who may be otherwise interested in the will or estate, or both of John Earl Isham

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been led by Robert Isham in the Superior Court of Califor-nia, County of Los Angeles.

The PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Robert Isham be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the indepen-dent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representa-tive to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: November 10, 2020 at 8:30 AM, Dept: 79 \ or as scheduled of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, 111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles CA 90012

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE- 154) of the ling of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

company and stick to it; this will help others get to know you and it will build a personality for your brand. Don’t forget to be relatable to your audience. If you are relatable, others audiences will find you more approachable and likeable.

Let’s take Disney as an example. Think about how you feel when you read or see Disney propaganda. They are excellent at tugging on your heart strings, bringing out feelings of nostalgia, quality family time and of course- they make you crave a Disney experience.

2. Be TransparentNext, transparency is key. Now more than ever, people demand

transparency. Remember, it is all about trust. This will come directly from your values and your mission. Be transparent about the reasons behind why your company is the way it is. This will not only build trust but also likeability with your following. Staying true to your brand and its promise will show through in your marketing tactics.

Patagonia is a perfect example. If they’re known for anything above their high quality clothing, it’s their sustainability and passion for protecting the planet. Campaigns like their Fair Trade initiative empower consumers to learn where their clothing comes from in order to encourage people to only shop Fair Trade Certified brands, which in turn generates support and loyalty for their products.

3. Utilize Social MediaUse social media as a tool to interact with your audience on a personal

level. This allows them to actually have conversations with you and see your interests. Focus on interaction, respond to comments as well as direct messages in as much of a personally connected way as possible. Let your followers see behind the scenes and what makes your company tick.

Ben and Jerry’s is the perfect example. They make it obvious where they stand on many issues from climate change to racial justice, and it’s nearly impossible to see that not come through on their social media. Through this they have built a following that locally supports them and the causes they serve. Lastly, partner with influencers to help grow your following and always remember to be grateful to those who support you. Those who support you want to see you succeed.

4. Share Your TeamBe sure to share your team! Show that your company is relatable

by putting the spotlight on your team, their interests and backgrounds. For example, our team at Cowe shares certain charitable organizations that we support, small businesses we love to lift up, the unique Spotify playlists created by each member and so much more. This will create synergy related to common interests between those who work for you and your following, adding to likeability of your brand.

most importantly leading the City through these unprecedented times. There are so many more issues that I look forward to working on with our community. I am also proud of the work that I have done advocating for Calabasas at the Federal and State level to ensure that the needs of our residents are represented at all levels. I am committed to ensuring transparency at City Hall and to ensuring that the needs of our residents always come first.

Kraut told Valley News Group, “For the past 19 years, I’ve owned and operated my own firm, South Coast Engineering Group, in Calabasas. My wife Lesli and I have lived in Calabasas for 15 years. Our kids attended our local public schools.

I’m running for Calabasas City Council because this is my home. After 4 years on the Calabasas Planning Commission, I’m ready for a larger role where I can have a greater impact on the stewardship of our city. As an engineer, I bring a problem solver’s perspective and an innovative spirit.

If elected, I will:• Promote transparency, curb wasteful spending and strengthen

fiscal oversight.• Bring my civic and business experience to all Council matters.• Support managed growth while protecting the environment.• Continue to support our local schools.• Ensure that every voice is heard and considered before any vote.Together, in partnership with the community, we can make a

positive change.Visit www.peterkraut.com for more details.
