Issue: June 30, 2016
Morning, readers!
Is it hot enough for you? Good news is, it's summer and that means
heading to the creek ... and beyond, to the natural wonders that are our
national parks. As you may know, 2016 marks the centennial for the
National Park System. So, in its honor, we offer a story highlighting
all the ways we can help preserve those parks for another 100 years
while still enjoying their natural beauty. Enjoy.
In other news: We check in with the new developers behind a newly
designed Meriam Park--that hip, mixed-use neighborhood set to sprout up
near the new courthouse in Chico; Walmart is back in the public eye, and
local residents ad businesses have a deadline of Aug. 1 to submit
comments on the environmental impact report. Also, Arts Devo offers his
annual list of summer jams to keep you rollin' through the hottest season.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Cooper, managing editor
