Helping the victims
A group called Rebuild Ventura County has been formed to help victims of this winter's storms get back on their feet. Staff writer Zeke Barlow (zbarlow@VenturaCountyStar.com) explains that federal help only pays part of the cost of rebuilding from storm damages. Insurance makes up some for some people. But there often is still a gap. And that's the gap this new alliance of non-profits, government agencies and faith-based broups hopes to fill.
Zeke is also heading to The Ojai today to give us a taste and touch of what it's like to be at this long-life tennis tournament. For another look at it, check out the Star video done by Anthony Plascencia. He did a great job of capturing yesterday's Day One of The Ojai and helping us all understand why this tournament is so unique.
It's a quiet day on the wires, so far. Among the possible Page One stories are the anticipated guilty plea by alleged Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and the follow on the arrest of the woman who alleged she found a finger in her fast-food chili.
