Tim Crews of the Sacramento Valley Mirror has a habit of sticking his nose where it isn't wanted, says Peter Fimrite. "He has written exposes that have infuriated politicians, law enforcement officials, jailers, educators and developers. He has, in short, yanked the cloak of secrecy off Glenn County bureaucracy." The 63-year-old newsman says: "The function of newspapers is that by reporting the truth we will make you better."
