Issue: July 25, 2019
Morning, readers!
Here we are, nearly nine months after the Camp Fire, and authorities have yet to identify six remains. For this week's feature story, staff writer Andre Byik's first for the CN&R, we take a look at what it takes to confirm an ID and how the families of missing loved ones are coping without that closure. It's a great read—check it out.
In other news: Residents who live along the now-dry Miocene Canal take PG&E to task for abandoning the water system; local educators get together to form a camp to prep kids who survived the Camp Fire for the next school year; and Milestone Technologies sets a closure date in October, leaving 148 people without employment.
There's more, for sure.
Thanks for reading,
Meredith J. Cooper, managing editor
