Issue: November 13, 2014
Good morning, readers,
Happy Thursday! We've got quite a package of stories for you this week.
Our feature story highlights the colorful craftsmanship of glass artist
Elizabeth Devereaux. Check out the News section for coverage of downtown
police (and private security!) patrols, a look ahead at a conservative
City Council, and the not-so-rosy results of an employee survey at Chico
State. And don't forget to read through our arts and entertainment
section as well. We've got a review of the Blue Room's new rock opera,
Nirvanov, and we'll get you prepared for a celebration of storytelling.
Thanks, as always, for reading,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
