Issue: May 28, 2015
Good morning, readers,
I hope all of you are having a nice holiday week. In honor of Memorial
Day, our feature story this week is about America's veterans, their
struggle to readjust to civilian life after their service and the new
federal law addressing the startling suicide rate among vets. We also
talk with a local vet who works with other vets who reach out for his help.
In other news: We check in with Peregrine Point and the efforts (or lack
thereof) to mitigate environmental damage done by disc golfers; we meet
a north Chico man whose backyard is now a 24-foot-high warehouse and how
that was permitted by the city; we talk to Chico State about a stranger
rape on campus that was shockingly underreported at the time; and Arts
Devo hits 400.
Keep on reading on,
Meredith J. Cooper, associate editor
