During one week each month, we take a look at a past issue, reliving some of the news, sports, advertisements and more from years gone by.

For December, we feature items taken from the Dec. 6, 2000 issue of The Riverbank News, 20 years ago. Here are some of the articles and photos that helped fill the pages of the paper that week.
