We encouraged Cristina to post a weekly feature highlighting a new player each time. These are used for the WAKA splash page: http://www.sacramentopress.com/tag/waka This is similar to the weekly "Racing for a Reason" articles I sometimes post, "Volunteer Spotlight" that Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, etc. I love them and think it's a creative way of promoting the league without directly advertising so hope you keep posting them!

YES! All the time. I usually make it just in time to get one drink at happy hour price and then end up spending way more than I planned since "happy hour" quickly became "regular drink" hour. Also, when making happy hour plans with friends I usually pick the place based on who has the latest happy hour window. It will probably boost their business. Win-win for all! I hope more bars catch on to this trend! Casey Kirk 2012-08-24T19:16:59Z Casey Kirk comment-72795 2012-08-23T20:28:20Z 2012-08-23T20:28:20Z Just downloaded this and I am impressed. My roommate and I were just talking last night about a dead cat on a public sidewalk. For my own curiosity I checked to see if there was somewhere to submit this and, sure enough, a "Dead animal in public view" tab. Even cooler is the option to submit photos with your entry. This seems like it would be useful for so many situations. Way to step up your technology game, Sac!

I believe that is a follow up event to the main event taking place during the day. I'm sure Melissa will chime in.

At a time when we're constantly hearing about red tape, ordinances and fees keeping businesses stagnant (or shutting them down) I would have to say that a sign coming down and new trays in the food court is definitely a breath of fresh air. Very excited to watch this project develop! Casey Kirk 2012-08-20T23:44:44Z Casey Kirk comment-72581 2012-08-20T19:11:48Z 2012-08-20T19:11:48Z My heart goes out to the family of Joseph Long. I can't event imagine how much they are hurting right now. I was out Friday night close to that area during that time and got chills when I heard the news. It could have been anyone. I am very curious though, has anyone confirmed that the shooter(s) were drinking at the surrounding establishments, or drinking at all, that night?

I'm curious, do they train volunteers? I would love to help out but am not sure if I would be mentally prepared if, God forbid, I were to find something unsettling. Thanks for posting this Melissa.

I don't see anywhere in the article that says Purgatory is aimed at only twenty-somethings or old men and drugs. That seems like a pretty bold statement and I'm truly curious.

My family (myself included) has used Kniesel's on several occasions throughout the years and I now have an even greater appreciation for their business than I did before! When it seems like we're hearing about a new business shutting it's doors every day, it's refreshing to hear about a business that has true staying power.

I can't help but think about the media storm that happened when Ellen first came out. While there's still a lot of room for improvement I think the lack of coverage says a lot about how far we've come as a society. I applaud Anderson for the way in which he addressed this.

While it definitely won't end drunk driving and the schedule probably has some kinks to work out, I think we should all give them kudos for trying this out.

Kudos to CFAA and hopefully this will inspire other organizations to follow suit.

It's important to note that the author of this story is a contributor to our site and not claiming to be a journalist. Please note that the affiliation disclosure reads "Asael is a community organizer for Pesticide Watch & Pesticide Watch Education Fund." We often invite public relations professionals and others involved with community organizations to post their press releases if we aren't available to cover an event or issue ourselves. This is one example. We also invited the organization who will be conducting the spraying to post their notification release so that both those for and against the spraying are represented.

While conducting a phone interview with Rick and Sandra Dee, the author of this story was told that Rick was the father of the children and was also told that they could be referred to as the couple's son and daughter in the story. We will look into this further in case any clarification is needed.

I also think the lines were a blessing in disguise for some attendees so that they had some time in between drinks!

Should have known Kati Garner, woman about town, would be there! You are unstoppable.

Frustrating is an understatement! Casey Kirk 2012-06-01T17:04:27Z Casey Kirk comment-68747 2012-05-31T20:19:45Z 2012-05-31T20:19:45Z Not Monday through Friday. On the weekends, watch out!

We don't have very much tolerance for offensive language in comments since there just isn't really a need for it. The comment above by Isaac is one of the few exceptions.

Comments are a bit different. Your comment will remain up because you are questioning the use of it in the story above. However, if it's irrelevant to the conversation and/or you're using it towards someone, then it's most likely going to be taken down with a suggestion from us to revise.

It bothers me that everyone has this mentality that all of the people vandalizing property, throwing up on their lawns and even parking on their streets don't live on the grid. The majority of people I know that party downtown also live downtown. I also know many that will drive (and search for parking) just several blocks from their home.

Casey Kirk 2012-05-23T22:34:58Z Casey Kirk comment-68349 2012-05-23T18:00:33Z 2012-05-23T18:00:33Z Yes, seriously. Engines and trucks both hold (different types) of MEDICAL rescue equipment and tools. I too thought it was ridiculous before doing a ride-along myself: http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/12395/A_day_in_the_boots_of_Sacramentos_heroes_Oak_Parks_Station_6 In full disclosure, my boyfriend is a firefighter, so I also have a better understanding of why so many trucks and personnel are present on calls. Casey Kirk 2012-05-23T18:00:33Z Casey Kirk comment-68249 2012-05-22T21:57:27Z 2012-05-22T21:57:27Z junkyardgrrl, Touching on the last part of your comment; why do you use "firefighters" in quotes? If that was your child would you be upset that there were five firefighters assisting him? Although you might think they were just "standing around," every firefighter on a call has a specific role. Most often, they are on standby in case a situation escalates. I would encourage you to ride along with a local fire department (these are open to the public) so you understand why a certain amount of units and personnel are dispatched to each call. You would probably be surprised...and certainly more informed. Casey Kirk 2012-05-22T21:57:27Z Casey Kirk comment-68175 2012-05-22T00:26:20Z 2012-05-22T00:26:20Z Glad to hear it! While I know there are a lot of great programs that offer discounts and other benefits to military personnel and their families, there is still so much more that can be done for them to show our appreciation! Casey Kirk 2012-05-22T00:26:20Z Casey Kirk comment-67694 2012-05-10T23:33:50Z 2012-05-10T23:33:50Z Also, to follow up to Jared's comment, when he says "link back" he is referring to our weekly event guide that you might receive by email ("Go.See.Do."). and the front page listing. Previously we had linked to event websites in each listing but now they link back to article postings on our site.

He regularly previews events that he will also be reviewing. Casey Kirk 2012-05-04T22:51:21Z Casey Kirk comment-67390 2012-05-04T21:57:29Z 2012-05-04T21:57:29Z Ha. Possessions? I don't think I would get much for a few pieces of dented furniture and some costume jewelry! Although we live in a society where my generation thinks it's acceptable to lean on everyone around them for financial assistance, I wasn't raised that way. My family struggles to pay their own bills so I don't think they would be willing to further extend themselves to send me to another state or country because I can't afford to live in ours. The point I was trying to make is that, like I said, it's a great solution but it's far from realistic. Like many I know, I'm employed full-time and live (very) far from lavishly but I still scrape by to pay my $580 rent each month. Everyone's situation is different, I was just sharing mine as an alternative point of view. Casey Kirk 2012-05-04T21:57:29Z Casey Kirk comment-67383 2012-05-04T21:01:25Z 2012-05-04T21:01:25Z I was raised here and several generates of my family have been raised here too. Why should I, or anyone, have to move elsewhere to afford the cost of living? Also, don't you think that's easier said than done? I thought about it and, even if I wanted to move anywhere at this point in my life, I couldn't even afford the moving expenses! What about the costs of traveling there first to line up a job, search for housing, etc. among a ton of other expenses. While it's a creative and fulfilling solution that seems completely unrealistic (for most).

What a sad truth Casey Kirk 2012-05-04T20:19:50Z Casey Kirk comment-67377 2012-05-04T19:00:19Z 2012-05-04T19:00:19Z Thanks for sharing your story (and your cookies)!

Not many people can say that they are doing what they love but you will be able to say that! You've been an inspiration to work with and more than a colleague but a friend and mentor too.

We can't say for sure but I believe most of the SactoMoFo articles from over the weekend were written as part of a story assignment for a local college course.
