CBS thirteen – West Sacramento House Vandalized With Hate Symbols And Racist Messages
WEST SACRAMENTO (CBS13) Police are investigating a vacant house in West Sacramento that was vandalism with hate-filled graffiti and symbols of white power.
The house, which neighbors say has been vacant for weeks, was entirely covered with ethnic and racial slurs, calling for the certain minority groups to be killed. There were also swastikas, and the words “White Power” sprayed painted on the front sidewalk.
“(I am) upset. I am so upset. Because we want to live peacefully,” said one woman, who lives on down the street, but who did not want to be identified.
She was one of the very first to see her neighbor’s house after it was vandalized when she went to walk her dog Saturday morning.
She is a refugee from Tajikistan, who came to the U.S. more than sixteen years ago, fleeing ethnic strife with the fall of the Soviet Union. She says she doesn’t want to see a repeat of that happening in her neighborhood.
I don’t understand for what, why they hate each other (more)

"The forklift punched the door out as well," Bizzozero said.
She says someone purposely hit her trailer home with a forklift and spray-painted the license and lights Wednesday while she was inwards.
"I felt the entire trailer shook," Bizzozero said. "Had I been actually on my bed, it would have hit me."
Bizzozero said she was moving from Natomas to trailer park in West Sacramento when her truck broke down. With nowhere to go she stopped behind a business on West Capitol Avenue. She says an employee vandalized her home out of frustration.
"You just don’t go forklifting people’s homes, especially when there’s someone in it," she said.

Daily Democrat – Yolo Food Bank finds fresh home
Almost one hundred people packed the grassy area outside of two hundred thirty three Harter Ave. in Woodland Wednesday in support of Yolo Food Bank finding a fresh home.
The Food Bank’s operation had worked out of four separate buildings but will now operate under one roof — which is across the street from one of the old facilities.
The nonprofit is working to accomplish a $6 million objective — with $Four million already raised — so construction and renovations inwards the building can commence.
“If you know anyone with a million dollars laying around,” said Yolo Food Bank Executive Director Kevin Sanchez, joking with the crowd. “Let me know.”
Sanchez said the fresh facility took three years to find and will provide 40,000 to 42,000 square feet of workspace, instead of the 11,000 square feet in the previous main building. One advantage to the fresh space is an increase of cold storage and a commercial kitchen. Sanchez looked for a space that could treat bulk amounts of food and perishables.
“There will be nine times the capacity for perishables and space for processing summer foods in the winter,” he said, speaking to the audience.
Sanchez hopes preserving summer foods for winter soups will add multiplicity for consumers. Preservation alleviates time pressures for moving food out quickly as well. Another addition (more)
