After the plethora of stories from the morning, we dug out another news story today that will lead the paper tomorrow on Page One:

Thousand Oaks city reporter Grace Lee (glee@VenturaCountyStar.com) has ferreted out the information that the planned expansion of The Oaks mall in T.O. has been put on hold. The merger of the companies that own the mall's big department stores brings into question who's going to fill the mall's anchor spots.

Also on Page One tomorrow will be reporter Marjorie Hernandez's (mhernandez@VenturaCountyStar.com) story on farmworkers. She is examining the impact of the recent ag losses on the farmworkes, and what local government agencies are doing.

SCAT hopes to have full bus service back by Monday. But reporter Cheri Carlson (ccarlson@VenturaCountyStar.com) reports that the future of using natural gas to power the public transit system is in doubt after this week's pipeline break.

And education writers Jean Moore (jcmoore@VenturaCountyStar.com) and Erin Hutkin (ehutkin@VenturaCountyStar.com) are talking with local educators to get their take on Gov. Schwarzenegger's plan to take his merit-based teacher pay plan to the voters in the fall.

The lone wire story on Page One will be on today's situation in Lebanon.
