Last month, September 8th & 9th there was a Jazz Jam Session that took place at the Lewis Family Playhouse at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center, Rancho Cucamonga. This production was presented by Allen Gray, who is the founder & CEO of JazzKat Entertainment, LLC. Allen announced that JazzKat Entertainment will be bringing Jazz to the Inland Empire.

JazzKat Entertainment, LLC. Goals are to “Entice, Expose, and Excite when it comes to Jazz and

entertaining the guest. As far as how I felted on their opening night was WOW!, This is GREAT! The three performers Jeff Bradshaw (Trombone), Lin Rountree (Trumpet) and Marqueal Jordan (Sax) they had us all standing, clapping, enticed and definitely excited as they performed. They expressed themselves across the stage as the sounds of their music resonated into the air. Beautiful vocalist Kimberly Holloway also brought fire to the stage.

Allen stated they would be back in November

sometime, so when you see or hear about it make sure you make your reservation to attend. Inland Empire communities let’s make it our goal to welcome JazzKat Entertainment, LLC to the Inland Empire. So keep a look-out for JazzKat Entertainment.

We all have approximately a month and a half before Thanksgiving Day will be here, and it would be really nice to put our words into action and help out a Veteran. Many of you might already be assisting veterans in an extra way, but many of you may not. I hope after you read some of the Honorable ways to help out a veteran you would want to try one of them.

Just thanking a veteran can go a long way, but an act of kindness means even more. Here are some ways you can show vets that you appreciate the sacrifices they made.

The next time you see a veteran in a restaurant or standing in line for coffee, pick up the tab. You can do so anonymously if you would prefer, but even a quick "thank you for your service" would mean a lot to the veteran. You don’t have to limit yourself to dinner or a letter, you could pay for a tank of gas, a prescription, or a cart of groceries.

Many vets, especially those who are disabled, have trouble making it to their doctor appointments. If you have a driver’s license, you can volunteer for the Department of Veterans Affairs (DAV) Transportation Network, a service provided by all

VA medical facilities. To help, contact the hospital service coordinator at your local VA Hospital.

The "Greenlight a Vet" project is a simple way to remind yourself and others about the sacrifices veterans have made for our country, and to show your appreciation to them. Simply purchase a green bulb and place it somewhere in your home, a porch lamp is ideal since it’s most visible to others.

Over 9 million people across the nation have logged their green lights into the project's nationwide map so far.

Many of the veterans who fought for our freedoms have never seen the national memorials honoring their efforts and their fallen friends. Honor Flights helps send veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to Washington D.C. to see their monuments. You can help sponsor one of those flights for as little as $4.

Operation Gratitude is an organization that coordinates care packages, gifts, and letters of thanks to veterans. You can work through them to send your appreciation to a vet, or volunteer to help assemble care packages. And, if you still have candy

kicking around from Halloween, Operation Gratitude also mails sweets to deployed troops.

Whatever your talents are, they’ll certainly be utilized at a Veterans Hospital. From working directly with patients to helping with recreational programs or even just providing companionship, your Hospital would be thrilled to have a few hours of your time.

Get involved with the Veterans Assistance Program. There are no doubt veterans in your community that could use help, but how do you find them? Contact the Local Veterans Assistance Program. They’ll be able to put you in touch with local vets who need help doing chores like yard work, housework, grocery shopping, or running errands.

Help them with job training because adjusting back to civilian life isn't always smooth sailing. Heroes helps vets with interview skills, resumes, and training so they can find a post-military career. They even partner with various employers to host a job board. Through Hire Heroes, you can help veterans with mock interviews, career counseling, job searches, workshops, and more.

Safety Information to Help Keep Your Kids Safe!

Halloween is so much fun

because it's not like other nights of the year. Have fun and stay safe. See and Be Seen after dark, kids aren't usually swarming the neighborhood, but on Halloween night, they are. That's why kids need to watch out for cars and other traffic. Be sure that their mask or costume doesn't cover their eyes or make it tough for them to see where they're going if they are thinking about wearing makeup instead of a mask. If they do wear a mask, make sure their eye holes are big enough for them to see.

Kids also need to be seen on Halloween, so it's a good idea to wear or carry something that glows in the dark.

You can choose a glowing necklace, a glow-in-the-dark treat bag, or a flashlight for them. Parents you can also can put reflective tape on their costumes.

Don't Trip! their costume might look cool, but there's nothing cool about tripping and stumbling on Halloween night. Make their costumes trip-proof by making sure it's not too long and wearing shoes that fit. Don’t use swords, canes, and other props that can get in their way.

It's best to trick-or-treat with family members or friends. It's also a good idea to have a grownup with them.

If your child has a cellphone it can be a handy item for them to take. That way, they can check in with a parent or call for help, if needed. Tell them don't look down at the phone if they are crossing a street or driveway.

Parent you need to talk it over with your kids in deciding where to trick

-or-treat. Sticking close to home is great because then you'll know many of the people and they won't get lost in neighborhoods that they’re not used to visiting. And people who already know your kids just might throw an extra treat in their bag!

When trick-or-treating, it’s a NO, NO! don't go inside a stranger's home, make that totally clear to your children. Sometimes a person might invite them in for a treat, but tell them to say that my mom and dad said not to go inside anyone's house. (Likewise, never go up to or into a stranger's car even if the person offers you a Halloween treat.)

If a house porch light is off, that's usually a sign that no one is home or they don't want any trick-or-treaters.

Before your children start eating the treats in their bags, you'll want to get a good look at them. When you get home, dump everything out and mom or dad you check to see what they have. For instance, they don't want to eat anything that's loose or not in a wrapper. Anything unwrapped, including fresh fruit, should be thrown away. Without a wrapper, it's hard to tell if food is clean and safe to eat.

Well, it's best not to overdo it, don't let them eat too much on Halloween, they will have leftovers to enjoy in the days and weeks to come. In other words, help them make Halloween a little sweeter by making it last a little longer!

People are usually prone to mosquito bites due to a combination of scent, light, heat, and humidity. If you’re a mosquito magnet, you’re probably tired of having itchy, bumpy skin.

Different species of mosquitoes — like the ones that carry malaria — prefer bacteria and sweat. Others are attracted to carbon dioxide and certain hand odors.

Whichever species you encounter, you can protect yourself without having to use a DEET-based chemical repellent. DEET products have the potential to cause health and environmental problems.

You might choose to avoid using these products unless you’re visiting places that have a high risk for mosquito-borne diseases like Zika. DEET is recommended for people at risk for mosquito bites carrying any disease.

Lemon eucalyptus oil used since the 1940s, lemon eucalyptus oil is one of the more well-known natural repellents.

You can create your own mixture with 1 part lemon eucalyptus oil to 10 parts sunflower oil or witch hazel, not for children under 3 years of age.

Crushed lavender flowers produce a fragrance and oil that can repel mosquitoes. Lavender has analgesic, antifungal, and antiseptic qualities. You can grow lavender in an outdoor garden or in indoor planters. Crush the flowers and apply the oil to bite-sensitive areas of the body, such as your ankles and arms.

Also drop some lavender oil on a clean cloth and rub it onto the skin.

Cinnamon is more than just a great topper to applesauce or oatmeal.

According to a study conducted in Taiwan, cinnamon oil can kill off mosquito eggs. It can also act as a repellent against adult mosquitoes, most notably the Asian tiger mosquito. To make a diluted 1 percent solution, mix 1/4 teaspoon (or 24 drops) of oil for every 4 ounces of water.

You can spray the fluid onto your skin or clothing, around your home, and onto upholstery or plants. Be careful when applying cinnamon oil, as a concentrated dose can irritate your skin.

You can google 10 Natural Ingredients That Repel Mosquitos to get more natural ways to combat Mosquitos ‘bites, we have only given you a few of them. Consult your personal physicians if you have any questions concerning these natural solutions.

Tea tree oil, or melaleuca oil, is a popular essential oil from Australia. This oil is known for its antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. But recent studies also suggest that tea tree oil may be an effective insect repellent. Even with mosquito repellent, you may get itchy, painful mosquito bites.

To treat mosquito bites at home, you can try rubbing apple cider vinegar at the site of the bite. Putting a slice of raw onion or freshly cut garlic on the bite can also provide relief and guard against infection. Calamine lotion or over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream can help as well.

Why (and how) does dew form?

During the day, water evaporates from rivers and lakes, and plants pull it up through their roots and release it from their leaves. In the evening, the air cools and can’t hold as much water vapor. The excess condenses into water droplets, which collects on any cold surfaces near the ground, where there is less wind.

What Color Is Water?

We usually think of water as a colorless liquid, but it’s not true. When white light is shone through a long column of the stuff, the liquid is faintly blueish. That’s because the water mops up the longer, redder wavelengths of light, leaving the bluer wavelengths unscathed. As with so many of its properties, however, water does this in a bizarre way, with the light energy being absorbed by its V-shaped H2O molecules, which start to vibrate as a result.
