CYBER COLLEGE: Valley College is the first school in the Los Angeles Community College District to have a World Wide Web site. . . . Students can now browse through the school’s fall catalogue and schedule of classes by calling up the college’s site at https://bestla.calstatela. edu/www/lavc/lavc.htm. . . . “Eventually,” said college president Tyree Weider, “students will be able to register for classes on the Internet.”

FIRE POWER: The same U. S. bombers that wreaked havoc against Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War could be used to attack Southland brush fires, a group said Monday (B1). . . . With infrared navigating systems to guide them, A-10 bombers now mothballed in Arizona could be converted to tackle fires like the one that raged through Calabasas and Malibu in 1993.

SHAKY MEMORIES: Yuri Kuroshima and Mifa Ri, above, have a shaky history. . . . Rattled by the devastating Kobe earthquake last January, the pair came to Millikan Middle School in Sherman Oaks on Monday with other Japanese teens to swap stories with kids who survived the Northridge earthquake (B1).

NO PARADE: They were the “Earthquake Kids,” a plucky team of Northridge ballplayers who lost to Venezuela in the Little League World Series last year. They came home to the Valley as national heroes. . . . Last weekend, 10 of them went to the Junior Division championship, losing to a Louisiana squad. “It just didn’t fall into place,” said Peter Tuber, 14 (B3). No parades are scheduled, but Peter’s dad said there might be a party.

CLOSING CHAPTER: Jan Heidt is ending a chapter in Santa Clarita history. . . . Heidt announced Monday that she would not seek reelection to the City Council next year in order to focus her energies on her Newhall bookstore. . . . “I’ve done enough,” said Heidt, who has served on the council since the city formed in 1987 (B4).
