Issue: January 05, 2012
Good morning, CN&R readers,
Who's gonna make news this year? We at the CN&R make our predictions known
in this first issue of 2012.
In other news: A brand-new athletic facility offers locals an opportunity
to be trained by pro athletes; the city braces for dissolution of the
Redevelopment Agency; and Chico State student Kelsey Mudd loses his appeal
in a manslaughter case in Hong Kong--we catch up on his case through his
father.
Happy New Year! We hope to continue to offer hard-hitting, emotionally
charged and meaningful stories for our readers in 2012.
Until next week,
Meredith Graham, managing editor
