Our county editor is presenting a choice for the main local news package for tomorrow's page one.

Choice A: Simi Valley staff writer Jean Ortiz (jortiz@VenturaCountyStar.com) is working on a package about the influx of butterflies to Ventura County. We always get our share of the royal Monarchs, but this year we're also seeing a large number of Painted Lady butterflies. Jean will explain why.

Choice B: It's that time of year. And staff writer Stephanie Hoops (shoops@VenturaCountyStar.com) will be writing about it. Not the Final Four. Tax time. Stephanie has discovered that tax refunds seem to be averaging a bit higher this yeat. She'll explain what that is all about.

Whichever doesn't get picked will hold for a day.

Also for Page One, we'll have a couple of stories on Cesar Chavez. Tomorrow is Cesar Chavez Day (and a state holiday, so all state government offices will be closed). Michael Collins, (collinsm@shns.com) our Washington D.C. reporter, has a piece on efforts to push Congress to pass legislation allowing farm workers who entered the country illegally to apply for permanent residency status. We'll pair that with a story from Sylvia Moore (smoore@VenturaCountyStar.com) on Chavez' ties to Oxnard. And state bureau chief Timm Herdt (therdt@VenturaCountyStar.com) is trying to put together a story on the relationship between farm workers and the governor.

The big story off the wire is the Supreme Court decision on age discrimination lawsuits. We're going to talk with some people to see if there is a local reaction to the case.

And, we're following the Terri Schiavo case.
