Issue: February 26, 2015
Good morning!
We have a great bunch of stories for you this week. First of all, it's
our annual Business Issue, so we've chosen a handful of local business
owners--all of them under 35 and successful--to celebrate. We also have
an update on the Confederate flag flap, we check in with Chico Unified
teachers and district regarding the possibility of a strike, we meet
some dedicated Bidwell Park volunteers and Arts Devo has a game for you.
As usual, there's much more, too.
Till next time,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
