Today's riddle: What did the tractor say to the plow? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Massive Layoffs Rock Newsrooms Nationwide, Hitting CA Papers Hard: Reports (patch.com) — Sacramento readers are facing a major shakeup as The Sacramento Bee eliminated its entire sports department and laid off at least 10 journalists in a sweeping McClatchy downsizing. The cuts affect coverage of high school sports, the Sacramento Kings, and regional stories like the Athletics' temporary move to Sacramento, raising concerns about how deeply local news will be covered going forward.
2. As DCA starts 3-0, Lions coach dedicates season to late parents. 'Keep pushing' (sacbee.com) — Destiny Christian Academy's Sacramento-based Lions football team is off to a 3-0 start, edging Yuba City 10-9 with a late defensive stand and clutch field goal. First-year head coach and former USC standout Antuan Simmons has dedicated the season to his late parents, using his personal losses and past health challenges to teach his young players resilience and growth on and off the field.
3. Sacramento deputies had probable cause to arrest Panera gunman weeks before deadly shooting (kcra.com) — Sacramento County sheriff's officials say deputies had probable cause weeks earlier to arrest a man later accused of killing Shalini Thakur, but they were unable to locate him despite multiple attempts. They emphasize that investigators encouraged her restraining order and followed up, while acknowledging limits of the justice system and stressing the suspect alone bears responsibility.
4. Sacramento Sizzler restaurants support charities with cheese toast sandwich sales (sacbee.com) — Two Sizzler locations in Sacramento are donating all September sales from their new cheese toast sandwiches to local charities, giving you a tasty way to give back. The Advantage Way restaurant supports Kids Helping Kids Sacramento, while the Madison Avenue location raises funds for immigrant and refugee advocacy group Norcal Resist.
