Welcome to the Sacramento Daily Patch Newsletter! This is where you will find all of the best news and events happening in Sacramento for Saturday October 23rd, 2021! First, today's weather: Mostly cloudy and cool. High: 63 Low: 56. Here are the top stories today in Sacramento: Signing up for a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile run may sound crazy, but signing up for one in the rain? That's exactly what the Ironman triathlon racers are doing this weekend. There is rain in the forecast, but not enough to cancel the festivities. It will make the race a little more challenging, but as one racer from New York put it "at that level of difficulty, a little more, a little less, meh..." (ABC10)A local boxing champ is a champion in the eyes of an elderly Sacramento woman for a different reason. Lorenzo Powell was out training and doing his normal run on Freeport Boulevard when he found a purse on the ground. Inside, he found $3,000 along with an address. He immediately knew he had to return the purse and the money. Sacramento Police are thanking Powell for "going above and beyond to take care of another member of our community." Police are still looking for the purse snatcher. (ABC10)Sacramento made the list of the 50 "rattiest" cities, coming in number 29 according to a study done by Orkin. The list is compiled by the number of new rodent treatments performed from September 2020 to September 2021. San Francisco topped the California cities on the list, coming in at number five and Chicago topped the list across the nation for the seventh year in a row. (FOX40)Sacramento County has activated its severe weather respite program and is partnering with homeless advocacy groups to reach those in most need. Homeless outreach partners began issuing motel vouchers to unsheltered persons Thursday. The county acknowledges the need for more assistance to the homeless. According the Mayor Steinberg, "we are engaged in intensive discussions both inside City Hall and with partners outside City Hall to identify alternatives to provide respite this winter." (KCRA3)Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, who said earlier this year that he will not rerun for his position, announced Thursday that he plans to retire from law enforcement after his term in office ends. A Facebook post by Jones says, in part "I have decided NOT to seek re-election as Sheriff of Sacramento County next year, and instead retire after what will be over 33 years with the Sheriff's Office, including 12 years as Sheriff!"
