Issue: December 25, 2014
Good morning, readers, and Merry Christmas!
To celebrate the holiday, we're bringing you our annual Christmas
fiction, a touching story written by local author Zu Vincent. (We also
have an interview with Santa--check it out!)
In other news, you'll find an update on the county's lawsuit against
polluters Covanta, a rundown of what happened when law enforcement
caught a man looting Lake Oroville, and a cool feature on how one Chico
State student is working to crowdfund her research, which could help two
endangered species in Hawaii.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
