Changing the guard

We're trading out Katrina coverage teams today.

Staff writer Tamara Koehler and staff photographer Dana Bowler are leaving Houston today after spending five days there covering the impact of the hurricane on the people and community. Just about the time they will be airborne, the Star will be shipping another writer and photographer to the scene. Staff writer Marjorie Hernandez and staff photographer Joseph Garcia are scheduled to jump on a flight with Seabees from Ventura County who are going to Gulfpoint, Miss., to assist in recovery and rebuilding. Look for their stories on the Seabees' work beginning Friday.

In tomorrow's Star, we will continue to have local Katrina stories. Rhiannon Potkey has the story on the former Buena High volleyball coach who now lives in Louisiana. And we'll also be covering the kickoff of a major food drive directed by Food Share .

In other stories for tomorrow's A1, Rhiannon has another story for us, this one on the continuing push by the NFL to market itself to Hispanics. The Cowboys, who practice in Oxnard, are leading the way.

Also for the page, we'll have the daily Katrina story and coverage from Washington on the funeral of William Rehnquist, chief justice of the United States.

And we will be looking for some explanation on the action late Tuesday by the Assembly passing a gay marriage bill.
