Nov. 8 marked six years since the devastating Camp Fire. NSPR has been speaking with those working in recovery in the burn scar. Today, we hear from Scott Amick from Paradise Parks and Recreation District. Also, loose soils in the Park Fire burn scar are creating an ongoing flash flood risk during heavy rain, and artist Valerie Rose continues to promote the importance of Deaf culture in her public art with an upcoming mural at Show Love Thrift in Chico.

A new mural on Chico’s Park Avenue challenges the community in how they view deafness. It’s called the “Sign Sign Mural Project” and was painted by artist and activist Valerie Rose.

You may think sign language is beautiful, but do you think it’s necessary? That’s the question artist and activist Valerie Rose is posing to the Chico community in her new “Sign Sign Mural Project” on Park Avenue. Also, Chico State will celebrate Halloween with a smash as it hosts its 34th annual pumpkin drop tomorrow, and California’s Democratic state lawmakers have largely resisted efforts to increase criminal punishments but as retail and car theft surges they’re looking for other ways to crack down.
