Afternoon update
Page One tomorrow will be led by a two-story follow on the budget cuts in the community college district. Staff writer Tamara Koehler (tkoehler@VenturaCountyStar.com) will be report the reaction to the cuts, including the protest today at the Oxnard College president's office by more than 100 students. Education writer John Scheibe (jscheibe@VenturaCountyStar.com) will look at some of the longer-range impacts of the cuts and whether this portends a new direction for community colleges.
More than 500 people turned out today for the funeral of Pedro Reveles, the Oxnard College student and baseball player, who was shot Saturday. Coaches and teammates gave their rememberances and vowed to do something to help stop the violence in their community. Staff writer Angela Martinez (amartinez@VenturaCountyStar.com) has the story for us.
Sacramento bureau chief Timm Herdt (therdt@VenturaCountyStar.com)reports that a deal is close on funding for the widening of Lewis Road, access to California State University, Channel Islands. It would have the county picking up the bulk of the $33 million pricetag through a bond issue, with the state promising to reimburse the county in the next decade.
The results of the Los Angeles mayor's race will also be on Page One, as will a photo of CBS anchor Dan Rather on his last broadcast.
