MediterraneanGrocery Wholesalers in Sacramento, CA

(KTXL) — Sacramento is a dog-friendly town with many dog parks throughout the city.

When taking your furry friends for a walk, the city of Sacramento and Sacramento County have regulations for keeping your dog on a lease.

In both the city of Sacramento and Sacramento County, laws say dogs must be restrained and if you’re caught with your dog without a leash, you could be fined.

Here are the dog leash rules in Sacramento County and the city of Sacramento.

Sacramento County

Dogs must be kept on a leash in Sacramento County unless an area is designated as being an off-leash area, Bradshaw Animal Shelter spokesperson Luna Anona told FOX40 News in an email.

If an owner doesn’t have a leash for dog, animal control officers are equipped with spare leashes to give to owners in those situations, Anona said.

Whenever an officer sees a dog owner with an off-leash dog, they will request to leash their dog, offered them a spare and educate the owner about leash laws.

If that owner refuses, the dog is considered a “dog at large” and officers have the ability to issue a citation of a $50, Anona said.

Leashes shouldn’t exceed than eight feet in length, Anona said.

City of Sacramento

Dogs are not allowed to be “at large” in the city of Sacramento, meaning a dog not being restrained by a leash, Front Street Animal spokesperson Ryan Hinderman told FOX40 News in an email.

In the city of Sacramento, leashes should not exceed eight feet in length and have “sufficient strength to restrain the dog should it try to run from the owner or keeper,” according to the city’s law.

According to the city, a dog is considered “at large” in the following situations:

•When it is off the premises of its owner, not under restraint by leash, tether or adequate enclosure

•When it is on the premises of its owner and not restrained by leash, tether, fence or adequate enclosure, or not under control and in the immediate presence of the owner

“In terms of consequences, this could range anywhere from a written warning letter to a $500 fine depending on the situation and prior history of infractions,” Hinderman said.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – For the Sacramento River Cats, it was better late than never on Thursday night at Sutter Health Park. After being blanked through the first seven innings and trailing 5-0 going into the eighth, Sacramento rallied for five runs in the eighth and, when they were trailing 6-5, two in the bottom of the ninth on a Colton Welker game-winning single to stun the Las Vegas Aviators in a 7-6 come-from-behind victory.

The Aviators opened the scoring with a run in the first on a sacrifice fly by Cody Thomas and added two more in the second on a two-out, two-run double by Tyler Soderstrom to take a 3-0 lead. The first three Las Vegas runs were allowed by River Cats starter Drew Strotman, who went three innings and allowed eight hits while striking out three.

Kade McClure took over in the fourth for Sacramento and allowed a two-out, two-run homer to Thomas in his first inning that extended the Aviators lead to 5-0. McClure went on to toss three scoreless frames after the fourth and allowed two hits while striking out two.

Aviators starter Hogan Harris went five scoreless innings and worked around a jam in the fifth where the River Cats had runners at second and third with nobody out. Harris allowed three hits while walking four and striking out three as he was rendered a no-decision.

Colin Peluse took over for Las Vegas in the sixth and worked out of a bases loaded jam with one out in his lone inning of relief, and Garrett Acton set the side down in order in the seventh.

Chad Smith came on to start the bottom of the eighth and the River Cats would load the bases with one out for Welker, who hit a two-run single to center to get Sacramento on the board. Matt Beaty came up next as a pinch-hitter and doubled to left-center to drive in another run to make it 5-3. After Will Wilson struck out, Heliot Ramos came up with two in scoring position and two outs and delivered a two-run game-tying single to left.

The Aviators pushed across the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth facing Joey Marciano (2-1). With runners at the corners and one out, Trenton Brooks laid down a bunt to the right side of the infield to get Thomas in from third base and give the Aviators a 6-5 lead.

Billy Sullivan (2-2), who was on to record the final out of the eighth, came back out for the ninth and Darin Ruf led off with a single, his only hit of the night in his rehab assignment. Two batters later, Clint Coulter was hit by a pitch to put the winning run aboard. After Patrick Bailey struck out for the second out, Tyler Fitzgerald put together an impressive at-bat and drew a walk to load the bases, setting the stage for Welker who grounded a single through the right side on a 2-2 pitch to give the River Cats their first walk-off win of the season.

Marciano was credited with the victory for Sacramento while Sullivan suffered the loss.

The River Cats and Aviators play the fourth game of their series on Friday night at Sutter Health Park. Sean Hjelle (0-0, 0.00 ERA) returns to Sacramento and makes the start for the River Cats, opposed by right-hander Zach Neal (0-0, 5.68 ERA) for Las Vegas. First pitch is set for 6:45 p.m. PDT.

Huddersfield Town secured their Championship status for the 2023-24 season on Thursday night when they defeated Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United at the John Smith's Stadium.

A second half Danny Ward strike was enough to defeat the Blades and complete the great escape, with Neil Warnock masterminding yet another turn-around after he replaced Mark Fotheringham in the dugout back in February.

There is set to be a new era at the Terriers though in more ways than one this summer, and not just because Warnock will be slumping back off to his semi-retirement.

As well as a new manager, Huddersfield will have new ownership as American businessman Kevin Nagle looks to finalise his takeover.

The club confirmed in March that a North American consortium had agreed to a full purchase of Huddersfield after ex-chairman Dean Hoyle took control of Phil Hodgkinson's stake in the club, but things are yet to be completed.

However, there appears to be no issues involved in the deal and Nagle, who was a former minority owner of NBA franchise Sacramento Kings, tweeted his congratulations to the club on survival.

And per a report from Alan Nixon on Patreon, Nagle is looking to appoint someone with experience of English football to the role of chief executive when he gains control of the club in the form of Paul Buckle.

What clubs has Paul Buckle managed in England?

Buckle is no stranger to English football, having managed a whole host of clubs during his career.

Playing in the EFL for clubs such as Colchester United in his on-field days, Buckle first managed Torquay United between 2007 and 2011 before moving on to Bristol Rovers, whilst also managing Luton Town and Cheltenham.

What has Paul Buckle been up to recently?

The appointment of Buckle makes sense for Nagle as he worked at his very own Sacramento Republic of the USL Championship in America.

Buckle was both the head coach and technical director at Republic between 2015 and 2019, having previously already worked in America between his stints at Luton and Cheltenham at Metropolitan Oval - an affiliate of New York City FC.

Departing Sacramento in January 2019, Buckle worked with Southampton's academy for a year in a coaching capacity before returning to the USA, where he has worked as a technical advisor for both Hartford Athletic and the San Diego Loyal, both divisional rivals of Sacramento Republic.

Buckle will now seemingly return to England though when Nagle gets the seal of approval from the EFL to steer the ship at the Terriers.

Decisions by governors, legislators and bureaucrats have consequences, some intended and some not.

Were politics a rational exercise, decision-makers would fully explore potential effects before acting, thereby minimizing chances that what they have wrought would backfire.

However, politics and politicians tend to act in the here and now, rather than worry about what might happen in the future when their decrees collide with the real world.

Examples of short-term decisions that have turned sour abound. One obvious one is California’s ill-starred bullet train project, which has limped along year after year, and still lacks enough money even to complete one initial segment, much less a complete financial plan.

If we had known then what we know now, would voters, governors and legislators have so willingly begun a project that seems to exist merely to exist, but serves no discernible purpose?

Several other notions kicking around the Capitol currently could use some critical thinking about potential consequences.

One is that California should pay reparations to its Black residents for many decades of discrimination and repression. A task force created to study the issue has pegged potential damages as much as $1.2 million per person, although it has not yet said how much should actually be paid.

“Rather, it is an economically conservative initial assessment of what losses, at a minimum, the state of California caused or could have prevented, but did not,” a task force report states. “The Legislature would then have to decide how to translate loss-estimates into proposed reparations amounts.”

No one should question that Black Californians have been ill-treated in many ways, but even if awarded cash, would claims for reparations end there?

Latinos suffered many of the same indignities and economic damages and might easily make similar claims.

What about California’s Native Americans? They were enslaved and hunted down during the state’s first decades, with bounties to encourage more killing. Couldn’t today’s descendants claim reparations for genocide?

Another issue being floated in the Capitol these days is a constitutional amendment to make housing a civil right.

Advocates say Assembly Constitutional Amendment 10 is needed to spur greater efforts by officeholders to end California’s housing shortage. Were ACA 10 to be enacted, it would give advocates for the poor and others who lack adequate housing a legal basis for suing state and local governments.

However, governments cannot, by themselves, end the housing shortage. At best they can finance a relative few housing units but must rely on private investment to build the millions of additional units the state needs. Making housing a constitutional right would be virtue-signaling that raises expectations with no real world benefit.

A third example of something needing more objective analysis is a bill that purports to raise salaries of teachers and other education workers by 50% in seven years by increasing the state aid that school districts receive.

If enacted, it would be another bullet train – making promises about doing something wonderful in the future without laying out how it will be financed. One would think politicians would have learned by now the folly of making such open-ended, detail-free commitments.

Finally, there are directives from the Air Resources Board to end sales of gasoline- and diesel-fueled vehicles, including large trucks, in the not-to-distant future. However, no one has laid out how, as a practical matter, it can be done, given the current state of technology and lack of firm plans to increase electrical energy supplies, charging stations and the other services and devices such a transition would require.

An old adage, “Look before you leap,” could be applied to all of these issues.

Two Major League rehabbers, Bryce Johnson and Darin Ruf, hit back-to-back doubles to open the bottom of the first with Ruf driving in Johnson to give the River Cats a 1-0 lead. Ruf would go on to score on a wild pitch with two outs to make it a 2-0 advantage.

Sacramento doubled its lead in the third as Shane Matheny homered to start the frame and Patrick Bailey added a two-out RBI single to make it 4-0.

Harrison, meanwhile, was in the midst of his best outing of the season. Harrison allowed a one-out single to Conner Capel in the fourth and quickly erased it on an inning-ending double-play to close out his outing. The left-hander went four scoreless frames and struck out seven without issuing a walk.

The River Cats added to their lead in the fifth on a Matt Beaty RBI single while a second run scored on a throwing error by first baseman Tyler Soderstrom. Those were the final runs allowed by Aviators starter Colton Eastman (0-4), who suffered the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits while striking out seven.

Sacramento added its final three runs in the sixth facing Norge Ruiz, who gave up RBI singles to Will Wilson and Casey Schmitt.

The Aviators scored two runs in the sixth off River Cats reliever Erik Miller and added a run in the ninth off Nick Avila. Daniel Tillo (1-2), who pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth, was credited with the win for Sacramento.

The River Cats and Aviators close out their series on Sunday afternoon at Sutter Health Park with first pitch set for 1:05 p.m. PDT as Sacramento aims for a fifth straight win.
