Saturday is Valley Voices Day on the Opinion pages, a day reserved for commentaries by local writers. This week, we've got Matt Jendian of Fresno State writing about the outstanding volunteer efforts going on at the university. Julia Barsamian of UC Berkeley is writing about the Armenian genocide and Kenneth Martens Friesen talks about the glories of living free of fossil fuels.
The Vision section cover, coming up Sunday, features a look at the debate over the death toll from Chernobyl coming up on its 20th anniversary. Victor Davis Hanson files his column from Libya and says you'd be surprised the good things that are happening in the Middle East thanks to the invasion of Iraq.
On the Opinion page, we talk about a new shelter in Reedley for domestic violence survivors that's designed to serve people from the rural areas. I have a column on the op-ed page this week about two very brave teen cancer survivors. Jim Boren continues to hammer away on ID theft -- it's one of the nation's most destructive, most insidious crimes and it must be dealt with seriously by lawmakers. Look for the Word for Word column on the back page, and a new feature, the Valley's Top 10 List. This week it's the Top 10 reasons for not taking in your trash bins. It's fun. Don't miss Maureen Dowd commenting on Rummy and our Decider in Chief.
