Sharks and other ‘threats’

June 10, 2022 Dean Carrier 0

It occurred to me the other evening that, through my lifetime, I’d never given much thought to sharks. That might seem odd as I was born and raised in a beach town, and until I […]

Second & Flume: JC & the real WMDs

June 8, 2022 Melissa Daugherty 0

God and guns. I’ve yet to figure out how so many people have convinced themselves that they go together. It’s delusional. Indeed, Jesus followers are kidding themselves if they think that their beloved peace-loving proselytizer—the […]

Recent heat and blustery winds in Butte County have sparked memories of the Camp Fire, serving as a reminder of our parched region’s ongoing wildfire vulnerability. Indeed, the North State is now in fire season […]

Editor’s note: Shelter in crisis

June 8, 2022 Jason Cassidy 1

One recent morning, I was on my usual bleary-eyed shuffle through Lower Bidwell Park for the dog’s first constitutional of the day. I nursed my coffee, the good girl did her business, and we looped […]

Asked in downtown Chico Michael Campipersonal trainerAs part of a much larger picture, I am very concerned. As we’re witnessing right now, there’s New Mexico, there’s Texas, even Nebraska is on fire, and the chances […]

Guest comment: No hotel

June 5, 2022 Nan Tofanelli 3

As a California Park resident since 1992, I have seen a lot of changes in this community. Most of them were well thought out and compatible with the existing development. However, the proposed four-story hotel […]

Editorial: CN&R endorsements

May 12, 2022 CN&R 0

Although there are so many open offices in the June 7 election, the Chico News & Review is offering few endorsements. That’s because this is a primary with many two-person races as well as those […]

Editor’s note: Consequences

May 11, 2022 Jason Cassidy 1

In contemporary American politics, the division between winners and losers is extreme. Winner takes all. No compromise. Our government representatives are often solely concerned about the needs and ideals of their supporters, at the expense […]

Second & Flume: Seeking intelligent life

May 11, 2022 Melissa Daugherty 0

When are the aliens going to show themselves? No, seriously. When I think about what’s happening in the world today, I can’t help but think about the fact that the federal government has vaguely acknowledged […]
