Issue: December 24, 2015
Good morning, readers!
In the theme of holiday cheer, this week we bring you our annual
Christmas fiction by Zu Vincent. Enjoy!
In other news: The Chico Creek Nature Center, CARD and the city strike a
deal to preserve the center's future; we follow up on the Paradise
police shooting after the victim died last week; we highlight a local
teen as she prepares to bicycle across the country--and build houses
along the way; and our film critic weighs in on Star Wars.
Merry Christmas!
