More great spellers
Timothy Johnson of Torrance and Brianna Lee of Hermosa Beach were the second and third grade winners of the 13th Annual Spelling Bee held last week at Manhattan Village. Johnson won the second grade competition over Hermosa's Brian Humbarger and dozens of other children. His winning words were "annex" and "bonbon." Lee captured the third grade competition, successfully spelling the words "enjoin" and "demise." Daniel Wong of Torrance placed second.

Costa kids in film
A group of Mira Costa students made the trek to the Pyramid at Cal St. Long Beach Friday to appear as extras in the Adam Sandler film "Little Nicky." From 2-11 p.m., they cheered and booed as Sandler, in the title role, played a demonic game of basketball against his two brothers. The film is due for release this fall. ER
