Highlights and lowlights from the news of the week

Punch – With all the pessimism in the real estate crisis, which exacerbates homelessness, we appreciate the occasional outbreak of optimism. The Chico Housing Action Team presented this week by making the ground in the Baudorf with 61 units in North Chico to serve strange people with physical disabilities.

The project is 12 years. 50 studio apartments together with units with one and two bedrooms with kitchens and bathroom complaints will contain the Americans with disabilities Act. The residents have access to supporting services. Chat aims to deliver transport via its own van and hopes for a B-line bus stop on the property along the Highway 32.

BUILDERS 'Dorf represents the third youngest residential project of chats. Everhart Village, which was completed in 2024, serves Butte County Behavioral Health customers who have homelessness. Hope Village, a development of six tiny houses in 2023, was a forerunner of the village of the builders.

This is done in addition to extensions in the Jesus Center and in Torres Community Shelter and urges a managed campsite, which is led by the North State Shelter team, not to mention protective agents, which are provided by organizations such as Safe Space and Catalyst of domestic violence. All of these groups have delivered the city's committee for homelessness, which held its second session the day after the groundbreaking ceremony.

Incrementual progress is still progress, so we have reasons to feel positive in an otherwise negative situation.

MISS – Speaking of homelessness and chico's efforts to deal with it, we were from a top local reaction to the guidelines that gavin newsoma this week uncorked uncorked gov. Gavin Newsom corresponds.

Newsom intensified the pressure on the communities of bringing people off the street and proposed a model regulation that published an adoption to combat “persistent camping” and at the same time 3.3 billion US dollars for expanding the apartment and treatment options.

That may be great for other cities. For Chico, not that much.

The Square PEG of a regulation of the governor fulfills a circular hole in the comparison agreement of Warren against Chico, which affects the applications for the circumstances. In particular, Newsom has asked the cities to move the 17-day enforcement process every three days until Chico expired until the comparison contract on January 14, 2027 (apart from additional legal maneuvering).

Then there is this from the director of the Jesus Center, Amber Abney-Bass, at the meeting of the homeless committee: “Governor Newsom uses a really strong language … and threatens to hold back our financing if we do not do things the way he wants. This is precarious for us; this could look like more people in public spaces.”

She continued: “We have incredibly robust services in Chico and Butte County. We are still trying to find out why people don't use these services.”

While we support the state that offers resources to tackle this crisis, we are concerned about characters that could increase the dynamics forward.

Punch -The 50th annual Chico Sports Hall of Fame and the banquet of Enterprise Records Chico Sports Hall of Fame and Senior Athletes was a big hit on Tuesday evening. Each of the 424 seats spread around 53 tables at Manzanita Place, as a high school athlete, parents, trainers and administrators with Hall of Famers (past and present) for a special night of – there is no other way to say it – community.

The addition of Core Butte meant that we had athletes from 13 high schools (and two universities). From Corning to Gridley, Paradise to Willows and all young people in between, who have joined against each other most of their lives, have come together to celebrate their common success.

They also heard words of wisdom from our Hall of Famers. Suffocates from Emcee Abe Baily as he talks about how much Jack Yerman means for him and the rest of the community; for girls who were hanging on every word that was spoken by women sports Fran Babich and Emily Azevedo; And Craig Rigsbees, powerful (and entertaining) words about the late Larry Allen was a memory of why we do this every year.

As long as you continue to appear, we will continue to have the banquet. As a participant told us on Tuesday evening: “This is incredible and I really hope that you will do 50 more.”

MISS – “We have to respect that rural America is not freed from such things.” These words come from the sheriff Dave Kain of the district of Tehama when he made further details about a thwarted shooting that is supposed to perform two teenagers on the Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood.

Yes, teenager – one is 15, one is 14.

As the Red Bluff Daily News reported, Kain said a call from Tennessee about the potential threat in our sister paper in Tehama County. Gaming Online, one of the local teenagers, spoke about school violence – and continued to talk about a manifesto and a plan to be directed against evergreen. He even sent out photos of himself and the accomplice, which pretends to be shooters of the Columbine School.

We are grateful for the watchful Tennessean and TCSO to prevent a tragedy … and to complain that our students and teachers are exposed to such a danger.

Hits and Misses are put together by the editorial committee.
