Issue: March 12, 2015
Morning, readers!
We've got another jam-packed issue for you this week. Be sure to check
out our feature story, which is actually a photo essay by our
photography intern, Brittany Waterstradt, depicting some of Chico's
artists at work.
In other news: We look at a couple of disturbing cases of abuse, one
involving an elder and another involving children; we highlight a local
company that's helping keep used clothing out of landfills; and we check
in with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
As always, there's plenty more where that came from, so browse around.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
