And then there was news ...

Much of the early plan for the day was trashed when news happened, both local and wire. Here's a look at the revised Page One lineup:

Federal officials have arrested a Tierra Rejada couple in connection with the escape of their tiger. The incident ended in the shooting death of the animal near a Moorpark park. Reporter Maria Gonzalez (mgonzalez@VenturaCountyStar.com) will have the main story and reporter Jean Ortiz (jortiz@VenturaCountyStar.com) will write a profile of Abby and Emma Hedengran, who have denied the tiger belonged to them.

We'll have the story by Ventura city reporter Kevin Clerici (kclerici@VenturaCountyStar.com) on the re-opening of Buenaventura golf course and its impact.

Then, off the wires, we'll report on the not guilty verdicts in the Robert Blake trial in Los Angeles and a study released today that indicates the life expectancies of Americans are going to shrink, courtesy of our obesity. We'll also have a different looking Page One tomorrow to give references to other major news stories that broke today: death penalty for Scott Peterson, approval of oil drilling in the Alaska wilderness, advance on Thursday's U.S. Senate hearing on steroids in baseball and President Bush's statements today or Iraq.
