Here are some of the stories we are working on today ...

Local officials say they are making progress in trying to open year-round homeless shelters in three cities in Ventura County. We'll have the details today online and in tomorrow's Star.

Thousand Oaks may get a Lowes. The home improvement store has submitted an application to open on Grande Vista Drive where Costco had talked about putting up a store last year.

And we're continuing to follow on the weekend shooting at the party in Westlake Village. As we get new information we put it up on the website and then pull it together for tomorrow's story in print.
