Why does Sacramento Press only write about things that have already happened? I find this very annoying. If you guys are going to succeed as a real service to this community then get with it and do a comprehensive events calendar. I find I rarely read this online "e-news" now because it's all already happened.

I agree that we could do more for our homeless and cannot understand if we don't provide them with shelter that we at least let them live on land that no one uses or cares about. I disagree with the gentleman, however, who wrote that we waste our money on parks and "other city projects"... I am not sure what he means by the latter but our parks are a very important part of the quality of life in Sacramento. As a mother of two grown boys, I spent countless hours at many of our parks here in Sac. and had the privilege of getting to know all kind of people and their children from all kinds of socio-ecconomic backgrounds. And then there were the latch-key kids who would come to the park hungry and unwashed. We always brought extra snacks to share with them and I attempted to get to know the ones we saw regularly. One brother and sister were being abused by their father and I helped them get help. There are so many ways to help those who are worse off than ourselves.
