The Army is taking today off from recruiting and sending all its recruiters through training in the wake of accusations that some of them lied to recruits and used improper recruiting methods. Staff writer Erinn Hutkin (ehutkin@VenturaCountyStar.com) is checking with area schools and recruiters and teens about what's been going on at our high school campuses. We'll look at her story for tomorrow's Page One of The Star. The whistle was blown, by the way, by a high school journalist in my old hometown of Arvada, Colorado.

Also on Page One tomorrow, we'll have a story about the very successful California Lutheran University capital campaign. Education writer John Scheibe (jscheibe@VenturaCountyStar.com) says the school raiseds $90 million in the campaign. The goal was $40 million.

And our Sports department is down in Los Angeles tonight for the opening game of the Los Angeles vs. Los Angeles baseball series. The Angels are at the Dodgers for the first time since the Angeles changed their name.
Speaking of baseball, look for a great package in our Sunday paper by sports writer David Lassen (dlassen@VenturaCountyStar.com) about Sparky Anderson, the former baseball manager and longtime Thousand Oaks resident.
