Bringing beer to the community

June 4, 2017 by Alexander Douglas Leave a Comment

By Janet Curiel & Alexander Douglas |Staff Writer and Community Editor| Micro Breweries have been popping up in the United States in the last few years. These breweries have created a new wave of people from the community that have switched from macro to microbrew companies and thereby are eliminating the need to rely on getting beers from macro breweries. One such brewery is Hangar 24 located in Redlands, which just celebrated its nine year anniversary this past May. The brewery offers a variety of drinks and hosts events throughout the year. “We have our fans and the public come out and help us pit all the apricots that are going to go into the beer; we give them pizza, … [Read more...] about Bringing beer to the community

May 15, 2017 by Alexander Douglas Leave a Comment

By Alexander Douglas |Community Editor| “They took my life away when they took my keys,” said Donald, a Seccombe Park resident. This is what Donald told me when I started interviewing him in the park. While growing up he said he “always felt like a bastard. If my mom didn’t want me, why the f**k would the world would want me?” He said that he lived in foster care growing up and that he never met his father until he was in his mid-20s.

Racism still an issue in sports

May 8, 2017 by Alexander Douglas Leave a Comment

By Alexander Douglas |Community & News Editor| Racism within sports has always been an issue and although progress has been made, it is still prevalent in today's society. During the early years of sports in America, players were predominantly considered "white." This was also during a time of segregation so that there were bathrooms and other such instances where they were separated from "whites." In 1947, before the Civil Rights Movement occurred, Jackie Robinson broke the Major League Baseball color barrier by playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Some of his teammates didn't approve of the Dodgers decision and preferred to sit on the bench than play in the same game as … [Read more...] about Racism still an issue in sports

Have advancements in sports gear helped players?

May 1, 2017 by Alexander Douglas Leave a Comment

By Alexander Douglas |Community Editor| Since the beginning of sports, equipment has played a big role in playing the sport but not always in keeping players safe. When baseball first started, the batters did not use helmets, which had caused a lot of injuries. Football players used leather helmets and shoulder gear with limited padding. In today's world, we have seen a change in the gear to help prevent the players from getting injured or at least lessening the damage caused by an injury. "We have top of the line protection," said baseball player, Jordan Simon. "From a hitter's perspective, our helmets are very good. We've had five guys get hit in the head this year and they … [Read more...] about Have advancements in sports gear helped players?

Law would have blocked public information about child abuse

June 7, 2015 by Alexander Douglas Leave a Comment

By Alexander Douglas |Staff Writer| The California Department of Child Services attempted to pass the “trailer bill,” a bill that would prevent the public from looking at the case files of children who were killed by their parents’ boyfriends or girlfriends, according to the Los Angeles Times. This bill would also negate the effects of a law passed in 2008 that allowed reporters to access social workers’ case notes among other files that allowed them to show social services’ inadequacies and negligence, according to the Los Angeles Times. The bill was turned down unanimously by committee members who also gave the bill a negative review. Reporter of the Bakersfield Californian, … [Read more...] about Law would have blocked public information about child abuse

May 31, 2015 by Alexander Douglas Leave a Comment

By Alexander Douglas |Staff Writer| The cost of this in terms of water resources is extreme.
