With the Seabees
Tomorrow we will have our first reports from the Seabees in Gulfport, Miss. Staff writer Marjorie Hernandez and staff photographer Joseph Garcia flew to the Seabee base there yesterday with members of one of the battalions stationed at Naval Base Ventura County. There first reports will tell the reactions of our local Seabees to the scenes of the disaster ... reactions to places that many of them knew from being stationed there.
We also will have a story tomorrow from staff writer Jean Moore on what some area teachers are doing in tehc lassroom to help their children cope with the natural disaster ... including answering the question about whether it could happen here.
We're also following the California Legislature in its final hours today. As usual, the lawmakers will pass hundreds of bills before the clock strikes to end their year's session. Sacaramento bureau chief Timm Herdt will be on the watch, trying to help figure out what gets passed and what gets defeated ... and why.
Out of Washington, we'll have a story on the report from the base closing commission being sent to the President and Congress.
