Happy Thursday, readers!
Are you upset/happy/confused about what happened this past week with
City Manager Brian Nakamura? Well, you're not alone. His sudden

Flume.
Read. Digest. Write a letter to the editor on your thoughts!
In other news this week: Arts Devo spends an afternoon with the Uncle
Dad folks during their debut radio show on KZFR; Howard Hardee checks in
on the fish in Butte Creek /and/ eats a bunch of pie; and I spend some
quality time with kindergarteners in their garden.
Read on!
