t. San Jacinto College (MSJC) has contracted with Redlands visionary Garner Holt Education Through Imagination (GHETI) to build an Animatronic Makerspace at the college's San Jacinto Campus. The GHETI AniMakerspace -in conjunction with MSJC design and engineering classes -- will give students the ability to learn the practices and skills needed to become great problem-solvers, designers, builders and technical operators. The $832,472 AniMakerspace will take over two classrooms in the 100 Building on the campus and could open as soon as January 2022. It will also be adjacent to the campus' new STEM building that is scheduled to debut in 2023. The MSJC Board of Trustees unanimously approved a contract with GHETI at its Sept. 9 meeting.

fter having to postpone its annual Earth Day celebration in April due to COVID-19 concerns, the Soboba Tribal Environmental Department was glad to get the green light to host the event on September 30.

More than 370 visitors to the four-hour event were greeted with music, giveaways, contests and 21 vendors that included many Soboba departments sharing their programs and projects.

Soboba Sports Complex. Environmental Specialist Micah Knox contacted the school to explain the contest criteria. “I asked them to show something that promotes sustainability for our community using items that get recycled,” he said. Three winners were chosen to receive either a pizza, ice cream or donut party for their class. “They are all super creative; they did a great job,” Michelle Kaliher, Environmental Administrative Assistant, said. “They have some really great concepts and put a lot of effort into each one.” Noli science teacher Jay D’Agostino said all science students were encouraged to participate. “We also had classroom lessons on recycling and the reasons for

iverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco acknowledged being a dues-paying member of Oath Keepers during 2014, a group whose reputation is one of militant anti-government extremists. However, Bianco is unapologetic and claims that he does not recall being part of the group but reported that he found an email from 2014 supporting his affiliation with the group. "I found an email from 2014 where I joined for a year. I don't even remember it," says Chad Bianco The existence of this unique sheriff 's membership, along with approximately 40,000 other Oath Keepers memberships, including current and former military and police personnel across the country, was exposed after hackers breached security and stole the information from the Oath Keepers website. The members of this group, apparently, had an active and critical participation in the assault on the nation's Capitol during the "Stop the Steal" rally, which occurred in January. However, Bianco spoke in favor of Oath Keepers, stipulating that it is an organization that is in favor of the Constitution and freedom mislabeled by the FBI and the mainstream media. DDoSecrets (Distributed Denial of Secrets), a subversive whistleblower group founded in 2018, made the information available to the media. Its members use swashbuckling nicknames like The Lorax and The Architect and secure web browsers so that information is spread anonymously. The group has been described as an offshoot of Wikileaks. Bianco's involvement was first made public Monday in a Tweet from JJ MacNab, a researcher and expert on extremist organizations at George Washington University who has been following Oath

Inside is a California Point of Historic Interest, the Trujillo Adobe built over 150 years ago in 1862. But for Nancy Melendez she first new it as grandma's house. Melendez, is a descendent of the man that built the adobe, Lorezno Trujillo. Melendez and her cousins are behind a grassroots effort started around a decade ago to save the adobe and revive plans to build a local historic park. They also created the Spanish Town Heritage Foundation to raise awareness of this part of California’s history. “I like to call it Riverside’s pre-history," said Melendez. "There was this community here.

Bianco stipulated that he doesn’t remember being a part of Oath Keepers, and that he found an email from 2014 that sustains that he joined for a year
