“We were determined to shoot in a hangar and have an airplane
as a prop in our film But unfor tunately, we got turned away from a couple of them due to time constraints and certain per mits But luckily, we secured a hangar at an airport in Riverside and made it happen,” said SBVC Student Mariana Lapizco

Tribes
right to be able to offer gaming on Indian reservations Califor nia has agreed and voted to en trust safe, regulated gaming exclusively to California tribes,” said Tribal Chairman of the Cahuilla Band of Mission Indi ans Daniel Salgado
In 1988, congress passed The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and Prop 27 put the act at risk
“California has agreed and voted to entrust safe, regulated gaming exclusively to California Tribes This agreement between California and tribal govern ments has enabled tribes to be come self sufficient, provide hundreds of thousands of jobs, and produce $1 6 billion to help non gaming Tribes,” continued Salgado
According to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Busi ness Committee, Prop 27 could heavily impact the $25 billion Californian Tribes contribute to the local economy, including acres such as jobs, spending, in frastructure and philanthropy
“Prop 27 will take away the ex clusivity of Tribal gaming It would break the promise that California voters have made to our tribes and destroy every thing we have worked for This is why nearly all California Tribes, our top elected leaders and key organizations are op posed to Prop 27,” concluded Salgado

California youth are calling on you to take action to stop the To bacco Industry's attack on young people
The California Youth Coun cil (CYC), a statewide leader ship team of high school and college age youth committed to creating healthy communi ties, is urging you to recog nize the magnitude of the possible impact of this No vember's referendum vote directly impacting the health of California youth and fami lies
This fall, the ballot will ask you if you support upholding a ban on flavored tobacco
We need your immediate ac tion and solidarity with Cali fornia youth
Flavored tobacco products play a significant role in driv ing tobacco use by young people
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) notes that nearly 81% of youth tobacco users, ages 12 to 17, reported that the first product they used was fla vored
In an effort to protect young people, the state legislature passed Senate Bill 793 (2020), banning the sale of most flavored tobacco prod ucts in California
Big Tobacco, using its finan cial power to push a referen dum on the bill, got enough signatures to suspend the leg islation until Californians could vote on the issue in No vember 2022
The tobacco industry's im mense profits come at the cost of the well being of young people in our communities
The CDC estimates that each year smoking related ill ness in the United States costs more than $300 billion (about
include: Coursera, GetSetUp, LearningEx press Library Complete, LinkedIn Learn ing, Northstar, Skillshare, and VetNow
Californians are already enjoying the benefits these tools provide! Here’s what users are saying:
“I am thankful that this opportunity is offered to the public for individuals that are unable to proceed due to lack of funds, transportation, or confidence ”
“I didn't know such a valuable re source that I didn't think I'd be able to af ford would be offered through the library I am constantly surprised at how much my library offers and am very pleased ”
San Bernardino Public Library will be spreading the word to ensure that commu nity members are aware of these high quality workforce and upskilling resources, available for free through their library
“Californians are getting back to work,
$920 per person in the U S )
In short, Big Tobacco is reaping huge profits in ex change for the public's health and safety and is consistently making youth their targets
In 2019, an estimated 4 31 million middle and high school students in the U S used a flavored tobacco prod uct in the past 30 days (CDC 2019)
Evidence shows that tobacco company advertising and pro motion heavily influence young people to start using to bacco
Deceptive marketing tactics promote flavored tobacco products that mirror popular flavors for children, including cereal flavors, popular sweet and sour candy flavors, ice cream, fruit flavors, and more
The tobacco industry has also targeted Black communi ties in its promotional efforts for menthol cigarettes with marketing campaigns that ap propriate Black culture and intentionally place advertise ments in communities of color
The misleading and devious marketing tactics mask the re ality that tobacco is the lead ing cause of preventable death in the United States (U S Department of Health and Human Services)
The time to step up is now; Big Tobacco cannot be al lowed to continue targeting youth
Through the referendum on the November ballot, you can take a stand against the to bacco industry
On behalf of young people across the state, we need you to join the California Youth Council in putting young peo ple's health and safety ahead of the profits of Big Tobacco
and their libraries are here to help,” said Greg Lucas, California State Librarian “Together, California’s public libraries are collaborating with other local partners to build a thriving California for All ”
These CAreer Pathways workforce de velopment and upskilling resources are just another way in which libraries aid in personal economic development, increase digital equity, and support the information needs of a 21st Century society
This project is supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California and is administered by the Cal ifornia State Library A two year invest ment of $10 2 million by Gov Newsom allows these services to be offered for free to any Californian with a library card The State Library is working with the Pacific Library Partnership to provide these re sources through California public libraries

How to Have “T he Talk” With Your Kids in the Age of TikTok
By Amy Streavel, Senior Direc tor of Education Programs, Planned Parenthood of Orange & San Bernardino Counties
TikTok,
with its short, di rect and entertaining videos, is wildly popular among kids and adults of every age As a sex educator, I appreci ate the many body positivity and health education accounts on Tik Tok that teach people about their bodies, reproductive health and sexuality in a healthy, inclusive way But as with any media plat form, there’s also potential for a lot of misinformation and harmful trends
At a time when distrust of health authorities is at an all time high and STI rates are skyrocketing, accurate sexual education is more important than ever and TikTok has made the information land scape for kids far different than it was even five years ago Young people have a new and different vocabulary, and a better under standing of some aspects of gen der, identity, sexuality and reproductive health at a younger age than their parents did They also have access to an over whelming stream of content, not all of it particularly helpful
It might be overwhelming to even broach the subject when you don’t know half of what your kids are consuming on TikTok, but it’s so important for you to be able to talk honestly about sex with your kids Research has shown again and again that you as a parent or guardian are most likely to influence their attitudes towards sex Teens who report having open and honest conver sations with their parents about sex are more likely to delay sex ual debut and/or use condoms when they do have sex
With all this in mind, and based on my years as a sex educator working with Inland Empire kids and adults, here are my tips for having “the sex talk” in the age of TikTok
Don’t just make it one big “talk” and never bring it up again In stead, focus on having regular, casual conversations about bod ies, sex, gender, and reproductive health from an early age That in
cludes asking them open ended questions about what they see online, and being there to answer their questions! Planned Parent hood has multiple guides for when to talk about what with your kids at plannedparenthood org/parents
Help them learn how to identify trusted sources of information Gen Z has access to information like no other generation, so it’s important they know how to identify trusted sources of infor mation and how to verify the in formation they see and hear Have discussions about how to complete follow up research when they learn something new online and encourage them to share it with you too
Keep an open mind: just because they learned it on TikTok doesn’t mean it’s wrong There are many trusted sources that share infor mation on TikTok, like pediatri cians, gynecologists, and health educators Ask them which videos or content creators in this area they like best, and watch videos together! This gives you the chance to see what they are watching and use those experi ences to start conversations
Take a cue from TikTok’s style TikTok is popular and effective because of its delivery style Videos are direct and to the point Use the same style when talking to your kids Use correct terminology and don’t tiptoe around the details If they have follow up questions, add a little more information until they are satisfied
Don’t be afraid to learn together We all grew up differently, and your own sex education might not have been very comprehen sive
Being a trusted adult isn’t about knowing everything, but about having open and honest conver sations, providing medically ac curate information, and being someone a child feels safe asking questions Ask them to show you a video or tell you what they’ve seen, and then use that opportu nity to learn and research the topic together

By Caden Henderson
Who saw this one coming? The Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies are the rather surprising matchup for the 2022 World Series
The Phillies have made it all the way as the lowest seed in the AL, while the Astros haven’t lost a game en route to the Fall Classic
Now, it’s all about who will come out on top Here are my game by game predictions for the World Se ries
Game 1 is set to have both teams aces battle it out as Justin Verlander and Zack Wheeler take the mound
Verlander may be 39 but he is still at the top of his game and looks to collect ring number 2 of his career
As for Zack Wheeler, the 32 year old has shown some signs of weakness this postseason for his stan dards but has still looked elite
With that being said, expect this game to be a pitch ers duel
However, I see Astros stars Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez delivering when it matters as the Astros will
take game 1 by the score of 3 2 In game 2, the battle on the mound will feature Aaron Nola for the Phillies and Framber Valdez for the Astros
Expect a bit more offense in this game, with the As tros staying steady and inching one step closer to the World Series by taking a commanding 2 0 lead, win ning 5 3
We then will go to Philadelphia where the hometown Phillies will have their backs against the walls in a must win game 3
And win they will, as I see the Phillies jumping on projected starter Lance McCullers Jr early thanks to efforts from Bryce Harper and J T Realmuto as the Phillies satisfy the home crowd with a 7 4 victory
Game 4 brings about another opportunity for the As tros to take control of the series in a game where we will most likely see a lot of both teams bullpens
Unfortunately for the Phillies, their bullpens red hot streak will end, and the Astros will take advantage thanks to just about everyone in the lineup, as they win 9 5 and take a commanding 3 1 series lead
Game 5’s Wednesday night start will have left both teams aces with 5 days rest
Being down 3 1, the Phillies would most likely be forced to throw Zach Wheeler on the mound with nor mally starting pitcher #2 Aaron Nola being ready in the bullpen for later in the game if needed
The Astros would probably start Justin Verlander barring injury or drastic fatigue, and we will see an other pitchers duel in Game 5
However, in the late innings, ALCS MVP and star rookie Jeremy Peñas will come through with a clutch hit and help secure the World Series for the Astros as they win 2 1
As I said when I predicted the Astros to make it here originally at the start of the postseason, Yordan Al varez will win World Series MVP as the Astros si lence the haters and win a championship no one can put an * on this time
There it is, my predictions for the 2022 World Series featuring a statement championship for the Astros, as they easily handle the Phillies and win in 5 games
However, this postseason has had a flair for the dramatic, and anything can happen
