“Have You Eaten Yet?” a zine about the people and food of Oakland Chinatown
In Chinese culture, food is so important to the fabric of life and community, that a common way to greet others is to ask, “Have you eaten yet?” So the phrase is a fitting name for a new zine that focuses on the food and people in Oakland Chinatown. Artists and designers of grassroots initiative Save Our Chinatowns, in partnership with Good Good Eatz, created “Have You Eaten Yet?”, which features bite-sized, well-designed articles on the history of Oakland Chinatown, interviews with notable Oakland residents, restaurant recommendations and other resources on how to support Chinatown business, as well as recipes from the owners of Yuen Hop Noodle Company (for lo mein), Green Fish Seafood Market (for seafood hot pot) and Cam Anh Deli (for lemongrass tofu).
Essex saw its biggest hike in new COVID-19 cases in a week’s period since mid-November recently as there were 47 reported to the Vermont Department of Health for the week
A New Kensington neighborhood park that was cleared out recently won’t remain empty for long.

“We see the value of these neighborhood parks,” Cicconi said. “All these parks need work. We’re trying to maintain them as best we can.”

WARREN Local authorities are looking for a Warren man wanted on a secret indictment in connection to the Aug. 2, 2020, fatal shooting of a 24-year-old man who was driving a car on Summit Street NW.
Cameron Tillis, 35, of Palmyra Road SW, is currently at large, according to Trumbull County Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Becker. Tillis is being sought by the Youngstown office of the U.S. Marshals Service office.
A secret indictment was unsealed Thursday in Common Pleas Court charging Tillis with aggravated murder, which carries a gun specification, tampering with evidence and having a firearm under restrictions.
Tillis is the second man charged in the shooting death of Delquan Ware, 2951 Linda Drive NW, who was pronounced dead at Trumbull Regional Medical Center shortly after the shooting that happened about 11 a.m. on Summit Street NW near Tod Avenue NW.
