BUT this year due to the pandemic things are different and we have to act accordingly. SADLY THAT MEANS NOT GOING OUT TRICK-OR-TREATING THIS YEAR. Try making a fun alternative activity for your children. Have your costumed children have a scavenger hunt with clues to find candy. Make a piñata and break it open. Hide candy (like an Easter egg...

The $1.3 million fine imposed by the FPPC against a local government entity for campaign...

Dear Editor What many in our community have found out since progressive majorities were put onto the local city council and school board, is that even if candidates can pass voters’ litmus-tests on political and social issues, it doesn’t necessarily guarantee those candidates will make good financial stewards for our city or school district. This election, though, voters have a chance to review the past record of one such school board member: Kelly Kent. Dr Kent has been on the board for the...

By Sabine Ganezer Photo: A Younger Generation of Costumes More Relevant to our Crazy Times Usually, September and October are the months when we can look forward to walking around the neighborhood, admiring the front yards of Halloween-loving homeowners who go all out with decorations. This year, however, looking at the polystyrene figments of the macabre that adorn only a fraction of entryways, I must admit the typical elements that have become party-store staples in recent decades, just aren't so appealing. Zombies? Please. During the...

By Amelia Fiore In Italy, new restrictions started last week. By the weekend, we were seeing the same old game of getting stricter without much warning. People are not taking it well, though, this time around. The restrictions are unintelligent and only hit one part of the population, like restaurants, gyms, and small business owners and workers. People are also realizing that in the months after the first lockdown, the government did jack shit to get ready for the so-called second wave of infections. They don't have funds ready to give to the...

Subheadline: By Ms. Amber S. Jackson What good would it be to have your own women's prison weekly columnist if I held back on some of the most interesting and least known elements of what goes on in this place?

So please, just for a moment, allow me to take your mind off of COVID-19 and entertain your imagination. We've all been aware of the EDD unemployment fraud. Millions upon millions of dollars going out to fraudulent claims of unemployment...
by Alyssa Erdley News with Attitude There was a marked difference in the response and capability of police in quelling rioting between Philadelphia and Los Angeles this week.

At least 11 people were shot by other looters. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, spontaneous chaos...
