The Abridged version: The Land Park Community Association is calling for road closures within the park’s panhandle. Neighbors describe dangerous behavior on the interior roads — including speeding and drinking on 12th Avenue — and say it’s putting children and families at risk.

The Abridged version: Videos and photos circulated on Nextdoor this week falsely claimed the California Department of Fish and Wildlife had confirmed a mountain lion sighting in the Lemon Hill area of Sacramento County. The department’s human-wildlife conflict team was quick to spot the fake, a spokesperson said. An Abridged reporter with expertise in debunking fake online imagery pointed to tell-tale signs of manipulation.

The Abridged version: Controlled burns are occurring throughout Sacramento County, including along the American River Parkway, to reduce wildfire risk. Additional burns will take place near Rio Linda, Mather Field and near Florin Road. The burns will continue through late June.
