Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. Open in Roseville since 2014, The Monk's Cellar offers high caliber Belgian and English style brews to thirsty aficionados in its comfy pub setting. This last year, Monk's added a Whiskey Club to bring limited edition, top-tier libations to its whiskey-loving patrons. This comprehensive article does a deep dive into the history of whiskey's journey from Northern Europe to the U.S. and lays out how Monk's Whiskey Club strives to give its members a truly unique tasting/savoring experience.

2. Rumors about possible shortages of goods this holiday season are swirling. But loyal Roseville Daily readers know not to believe everything you see on social media, right? (re: yesterday’s edition) Amid all the urges to “buy early,” our friends at CBS News went straight to the sources to find out the local supply status of two must-have holiday staples: Thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas trees. (CBS 13)
3. Halloween is night for revelry and treats enjoyed by humans far and wide. But the festivities can warrant some extra precautions to make sure Fido and Whiskers stay safe during all that FUN. Some puppers and kitters find the day perplexing at best, or downright terrifying at worst. The Placer SPCA recently shared some tips to help us make sure our four-legged family members enjoy Halloween without fear or injury. (Roseville Today)
4. A newly re-formed California group seeks to make sure that people released from jails and prisons have the supports they need to re-enter society and successfully turn over a new leaf. The Re-Entry Providers Association of California is a coalition of re-entry support organizations from around the state that will lobby on parolees' behalf for supports in areas like job hunting, educational opportunities, childcare and housing options - the very things needed to keep rate of recidivism down as more former prisoners are released with criminal justice reform.

Roseville Patch Notebook:

• Golden 1 Credit Union did a solid for a handful of volunteers from Roseville-based A Touch of Understanding (ATOU) by lending the group their suite at Golden 1 Center for a concert by world renowned singing artist Andrea Bocelli.
