Staff writer Jean Ortiz (jortiz@VenturaCountyStar.com) takes us on a visit to the Moorpark mammoth at its new home in the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. The mammoth was uncovered at a housing project near downtown Moorpark. For a Page One story, Jean updates on the restoration and the city of Moorpark's plans to retain a piece of the find. We'll also have some video of the restoration work on our website.

Also for Page One tomorrow, Sacaramento bureau chief Timm Herdt (therdt@VenturaCountyStar.com) reports on a bill that would allow the Ventura County Board of Supervisors to ask county property owners to approve an annual fee to help reduce pollution from stormwater runoff.

Although they won't be on Page One, we're continuing our local high school graduation coverage in tomorrow's various editions. There are six graduations for the Oxnard edition, three in Camarillo and a pair in the Conejo Valley.

Off the wires we're looking at the report today that the U.S. budget deficit rose to an all-time high and a story out of Baghdad on launch of a U.S. major combat operation. And then there's Tom Cruise's marriage proposal this morning on the Eiffel Tower to Katie Holmes. However, there are some on our staff who think (unlike today's TV news) that this may not be the most important story of the day. So there's an outside chance it may not make our Page One.
