Allow me to give a few brief “Right Awn!” shout-outs to some deserving parties:
- Thanh Thai, who saw smoke coming out of a neighbor’s garage, got out of his car, and pounded on the door until the occupants — a mom, her 16 year old daughter, three-year-old son, and FOUR of her daughter’s friends who’d spent the night — got out. Had it not been for his neighborliness and quick action, this story could have had much worse results than a gutted house (which is bad enough as it is.)
- Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento: I read in today’s Metro section that the clubs are now accepting students for the after-school programs for the coming year. Not only do the clubs provide a safe environment for the kids, have required homework time before they can play, offer a multitude of games and activities, plus a hot meal, the cost is only $12 per child for the entire school year. Yes, you read that correctly. That’s not $12 per week or per month; it’s for the entire school year.
- Did you know that Yuba County grows 99% of the plums for dried plums (formerly “prunes”) in the U.S. and 60% of the world’s supply? No wonder they come off as just regular folks there in Yuba County. They are having a rough year, however, with warm temps in March hindering the ’07 crop.
I know our readers don’t really like these “feel good” stories as it is much more fun to show your Sacramento and comment on random comments, but nevertheless…
How about this story from cbs13.com?
Way to go, Dorothy. Right awn!

I’ll bet those teenagers were smoking in the garage and that’s how the fire started.

How could you not include the cbs13 title? Senior Smackdown. I’m sure Anny had a say in that one.
