Week of the Sith

The last Star Wars movie opens this week. For tomorrow's paper, staff writer Kim Lamb Gregory (kgregory@venturacountystar.com) looks at the predictions that this could be the biggest movie opening -- ever. We'll also let you know who's going to be showing the movie and when in Ventura County.

Also for tomorrow's Page One, education writer John Scheibe (jscheibe@VenturaCountyStar.com) is trying to determine the impact of additional state funding on the Ventura County Community College District budget. The governor said Friday that community colleges will get $83 million more next year than anticipated. How much of that will land in VCCCD's budget, and how it will be spent are questions John is trying to get answered today.


We will also follow on the Supreme Court decision today that basically opens up the country for wine sales. Many states had restricted the importation of wine. Now you will be able to ship those California wines anywhere. Business writer Jim McLain (jmclain@VenturaCountyStar.com) will be talking to local and regional wineries on what this means for them.

And we'll be looking for other stories off the wires, including the ongoing fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
