STRETCH: KD’s 7-4 wingspan came into play when he used the ends of his fingertips to swipe a Sacramento pass and tip the ball to keep it in play.

Stern handles arena situation here but not in Seattle
Sacramento Bee – Jan 27, 2008
27 2008| Page 1C When David Stern came to Sacramento in December 2006 for two days of meetings and informal lobbying he spoke optimistically that the arena situation would be resolved and that the Kings would stay. He flashed the unlit cigar from his visit with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He said his representative John Moag the former chairman of the Maryland Stadium Authority would remain in town to continue discussions that eventually led to Cal Expo being identified as the best site for a new building. When Stern went to Seattle and the Washington capital of lympia in February 2006 to meet with lawmakers in a similar setting he found himself looking at a lot of stone faces… Two West Coast NBA teams that have faced years of complicated fights to build new arenas two franchises that have faced nonstop speculation about relocation although the Kings deny any such interest two uncertain futures. But two very different tones from the commissioner. In Sacramento Stern is at the least a player in the attempt to get an arena deal that would guarantee the continued presence of the Kings and in the higher and probably more realistic assessment at the intersection of most every development. It was reported that the primary owners the Maloofs specifically asked him to take a strong hand. In Seattle and lympia Stern appears to face a tone with greater rancor with some legislators condemning his appearances on behalf of the SuperSonics as harmful and some newspaper columnists looking longingly at Sacramento and wondering why their situation isn’t receiving the same approach. While president of the Seattle City Council Nick Licata told reporters in the Puget Sound region that the commissioner’s visit “undermined” the team’s chances of getting an arena deal. Among the listings on Licata’s résumé is co-chair of Citizens for More Important Things a Seattle-based organization that “opposed excessive public funding of professional sports stadiums” at a time when the Mariners and Seahawks opened new downtown facilities.

Teens urge elders: Cast a ballot
Sacramento Bee – Jan 27, 2008
27 2008| Page 1B A force of more than 100 teenagers knocked on the doors of grown-ups across Sacramento on Saturday each delivering the same message: Vote. The effort which will be repeated again next Saturday has twin agendas. In conjunction with Sacramento Area Congregations Together the young people are trying to increase voter turnout in low-income neighborhoods where a small percentage of registered voters cast ballots in the last election. Although most of Saturday’s door-knockers were themselves too young to register they had high hopes of persuading their adult neighbors to vote Feb. 5 in the state’s presidential primary. The students figure a louder voice in elections will help garner their communities more attention and more resources. The get-out-the-vote efforts in Sacramento and other cities are being studied by researchers from Yale University the University of California Irvine and California State University East Bay… 5 in the state’s presidential primary. The students figure a louder voice in elections will help garner their communities more attention and more resources. The get-out-the-vote efforts in Sacramento and other cities are being studied by researchers from Yale University the University of California Irvine and California State University East Bay. They hope to determine the most effective way to get infrequent voters to the polls. Sacramento youths knocked on the doors of about 1000 people who were registered to vote in the last election and didn’t. The researchers will compare the voting rates of that group with that of a control group to see what impact the canvassing had. Donald Green a political science professor at Yale says more human contact generally yields better results.
