Issue: December 18, 2014
Good morning, readers!
We've got a great lineup of stories for you this week, including a look
at how the City Council handled a request from the Arts Commission for
more support (hint: they didn't get it); an inside view at what the
county is doing regarding disaster preparedness, particularly when it
comes to providing shelter; a feature on the march and rally over police
killings this past weekend; and a look at local "food deserts" and
efforts to fertilize them. Of course, there's also much more, so check
us out online or in print.
Have a great week and Happy Chanukah!
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
