The problems of Ventura County got a thorough workout today at the Road Ahead conference held at CSU Channel Islands and staff writer Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) will write about the ideas, suggestions and discussions for tomorrow's Page One. He'll also profile the keynote speaker, Joel Kotkin.

Staff writer Stephanie Hoops (shoops@VenturaCountyStar.com) explores the idea of children being arrested at social or political protests ... something that happened yesterday at the Terri Schivao protest.

Off the wire, the stories (at this time) that will have on Page One are: the latest on the Schiavo case, the overthrow of the government of Kyrgyzstan (a story that, once again, makes all of us here glad we're not in the broadcast world and having to pronounce that name) and the amazing discovery of soft tissue from a T-Rex dinosaur thigh bone that could, possibly, maybe lead to new specific details about dinosaurs. (Can you say: Jurassic Park?)
