- Concerned about traffic on Interstate 10? Stay with Redlands-Loma Linda Patch for breaking news and updates when major stories occur, and send news tips to guy.mccarthy@patch.com or renee.schiavone@patch.com.

- Do you run a non-profit? The California Board of Equalization is holding a free seminar Wednesday morning in Riverside for non-profit organization reps and people interested in forming non-profits, on topics related to taxes and filing requirements. Supervisor John J. Benoit will open the seminar at 9 a.m. July 24 in Board of Supervisors chambers at the Riverside County Administration Center, 4080 Lemon St.

- A young Redlands resident, Isabella C., is the winner of the June 2013 Redlands Kids' Riddle Contest sponsored by Smiley Library, and she's going to the Angels vs. Minnesota Twins game tonight. She correctly guessed the answer to June's riddle and won six behind-home-plate tickets at the Big A in Anaheim, Pamela Bunch of the Young Readers' Room said.

Only 6- to 12-year-olds who live in Redlands were eligible to enter. All correct guesses were entered into a drawing. The deadline for the contest was June 30 and the winner was notified July 1.

Can you guess the answer to June's contest? Clues:

"Our hero for June went to Redlands East Valley.
"His scores & assists are too many to tally.
"A national star! In fact, internationally!
"A star in the Galaxy! He plays most passionately!
"At Smiley's Heritage Room you can find a good clue.
"The answer will be there…looking at you!"
