University Gets Donation

 

Jadhira Shazad

Pierce University is looking to undergo some major changes. The university received a rather large donation from S'Ahmisa Warwick to be used in the building of a state of the art science lab. Many residents were quick to note that S'Ahmisa's beloved little sister is due to enter university soon and science is her intended major.

"Either way, it doesn't matter." Educational Director, Johan Shazad said. "The money will not be refused and work has already begun on making the changes and building such a lab."

The university also won approval from the hood council to undergo a major renovation which will result in completely remodeled dormitories, academic buildings and quads. Work has begun on renovating the dorms and completing the new science lab.

Park is Renovated

Jadhira Shazad

The hood council convened during one of their last meetings of the year to discuss the renovation of the Alisa Crawston Celebration Park. The park is in what residents call an "under financed" part of the hood, and though the park has some historical significance, the surrounding housing and public works are as equally in need of renovation. The hood council wisely pass the park renovation measure, and work began immediately on restoring the old park. The pond recieved new plants, the bridge was repaired and other small changes were made.

"I love the new changes, I barely used to visit the park unless there was a concert, but now I wouldn't mind getting married here." An unnamed sim said.

Public support in the council swelled in response to the decision and it renewed civic interest in the areas surrounding the park. The council members all received a bonus for their wise decision.

Art Prodigy's Exhibit

Flowers of Color, a solo exhibition by art prodigy, Veronika Kent is scheduled to run at the Herendez Art Gallery until Summer 2009. The collection will display the depth and texture of Veronika's unique works.

At ten years of age, artist Veronika Kent is the youngest professional painter in SimCity. Using acrylics and mixed media, she creates various art pieces. Her paintings are both contemplative and powerful, providing a window into the emancipated creative subconscious mind of a child.

"I'm in awe of our daughter," Veronika's father, Jesse Kent, stated. "She's honestly smarter than us, already scoring elevated levels on the skill exams and it seems like she might be interested in moving beyond painting into another hobby."

"I like painting," Veronika said grinning while hiding a jawbreaker in her mouth. "I like other things too, like looking at the stars at night or watching the inside of my clock move."

Culinary Corner

Welcome to Culinary Corner! This simday's topic is all about cooking with children. Did you know that children can learn how to cook at a much faster rate than adults? It's true, their young minds are able to absorb so much. Start your child off with a Rip Co. Little Baker Oven or even a lemonade stand and enjoy the tasty fruits of their labor.
Happy Eating!
