Issue: June 16, 2016
Morning, readers,
Before I introduce our feature story this week, which is all fun and
games (literally), I'll say that we at the CN&R are deeply saddened--and
concerned--following the devastating attack on a gay club in Orlando. We
opined on it in our Editorial section, we captured a beautiful photo of
the very well-attended vigil on Sunday in our News section and Arts Devo
put his own reaction to paper in this week's issue.
In other news: Of course, this past week was marked by the Local GOP
feels pressure from within; local medical marijuana advocates propose
legalizing the drug in Butte County (we're just waiting on a signature
count to see if their initiative hits the November ballot); and a
dedicated Enloe volunteer gets due recognition.
On to the fun stuff: Are you ready to Lego? I mean, c'mon, who didn't
love putting together all those colorful blocks to create, oh, whatever
our hearts desired? Some of us never lost that urge to build--or came
out of the "Dark Ages" to rediscover a love of Lego. Meet the Chico Lego
Users Group in this week's feature story. They make Lego fantasies come
true.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Cooper, managing editor
