SIMPSON University welcomes new dean to School of Education This fall Shasta College is producing the theatrical ad- aptation of Harper Lee's be- loved novel "To Kill a Mock- ingbird." This adaptation is by Christopher Sergel and is faithful to the timeless classic. Scout, a young girl in a quiet southern town, is about to experience dra- matic events that will af- fect the rest of her life. She and brother, Jem, are being raised by their widower fa- ther, Atticus, and by their strong-minded housekeeper named Calpurnia. Wide-eyed Scout is fas- cinated with the people of her small town but, from the start, there's a rum- ble of thunder just under the calm surface of the life here. Set in 1935, this play illustrates the social issues of this time. This dramati- zation of the touching clas- sic tale is a meaningful and inspiring work of art. Performances will be 7 p.m. Oct. 14-15 and 20- 22 at the Shasta College Theatre with two mat- inee performances at 2 p.m. Oct. 16 and 23. Tick- ets are $10 for the general public and $7 for students and seniors. This produc- tion is suitable for audi- ences of all ages.

SHASTA COLLEGE 'To Kill a Mockingbird' to be staged A dual project planned for Shasta College is a new Veterans Support Center and a Tehama Student Ser- vices Building. Measure H, a $139 mil- lion facilities bond that will be on the Nov. 8 gen- eral election ballot, would fund these projects. An increasing number of military-connected stu- dents are taking advantage of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Of these students, more than one-half attend a commu- nity college. This has cre- ated the need to have ded- icated space for increased one-on-one services to ap- propriately address the ac- ademic financial, physical and social needs of Veter- ans and current military students. "The people within this communityhaveachanceto provide something unique to our veterans," said James Konopitski, USAF veteran. "I have seen the outcomes of an educated veteran and these outcomes include a hope to live, the power to grow and a passion to make a better community. But all of this can only come from a supportive community that gives us veterans the tools and uplifting hand to tran- sition back to civilian soci- ety." The district houses a small Veterans Center on its main campus. However, the support services for vet- erans are in different build- ings, with the Tehama Cam- pus having no veterans sup- port services. Measure H would provide the funding necessary to complete this two-phase project. Phase 1 would move the Veterans Center on the main campus to the Stu- dent Services building and expand it to include a con- ference room, study rooms and offices for a dedicated academic counselor, admis- sions and records staff, fi- nancial aid staff and vis- iting mental health coun- selors. Combining these services in one place would provide a single point of contact for veteran stu- dents to access comprehen- sive support services. Phase 2 would involve construction of a Student Services building at the Te- hama Campus as student enrollment increases. This new building would include a Veterans Support Center mirroring the center at the main campus. The cost of Measure H is estimated at $19 annually per $100,000 of assessed value of properties.

WHITTENBERG FAMILY BIKE RIDE By Ben Nuckols and Tamara Lush TheAssociatedPress TAMPA, FLA. There were no streams of confetti when the winner spelled her final word at the North South Foundation spelling bee. Unlike the glamorous Scripps National Spelling Bee, no trophy was handed out. The top 12 spellers faced off in a lecture hall with seating for 200, not a ballroom with space for thousands. When compet- itors missed a word, they didn't retreat to a "cry- ing couch" to commiser- ate with their families and do TV interviews before an audience of millions. They just shuffled off stage and sat in the crowd. Instead of $45,000incashandprizes, the winner got $500. Yet it's likely that next year's National Spelling Bee champion spent a Saturday in August at the North South Foundation's national finals. The last dozen winners of spelling's biggest prize have been Indian-Amer- icans who share more than heritage. Every sin- gle one has participated in bees staged by the non- profit foundation, which was launched in 1989 to raise scholarship money for poor kids in India. Among the many rea- sons for Indian-Ameri- cans' dominance of spell- ing, perhaps none is as important as the train- ing and competitive expe- rience they get from the foundation, where many participants start as early as first grade. The founda- tion organizes one of two national spelling bees ex- clusively for kids with South Asian heritage.
