According to the Nov. 18, 1971, Auburn Journal, “Nakagawa pointed out that steady growth of the Auburn Fair would soon tax its limited facilities; that the DeWitt Hospital is to be phased out by the state; that the present fairgrounds is located in the center of growing Auburn, an unsuitable site for a fair and that the sale of the present site to private ownership would return the property to the tax rolls.” He emphasized the growth of the fair and that if the district wanted that growth to continue, they would have to begin looking for another site. The grounds of the DeWitt State Hospital site seemed to be the perfect fit. At that time, it was already certain that Placer County would take over the campus of the former hospital, but there were still a lot of proposals that were floated by different groups for use of some of the property. For example, Assemblyman Eugene Chappie asked President Nixon to consider using part of the property for a narcotics rehabilitation center for returning military personnel. None of these proposals came to fruition, but it is interesting to note this crossroads moment for the DeWitt State Hospital grounds, Placer County and the Auburn District Fair.

In part, the article read: “Parents should caution their children to be very, very careful in practicing Halloween pranks this year, as there is grave danger of the youngsters being greeted with a dose of lead…Better lay off the Halloween pranks this year, rather than take any chances.” Halloween pranks were very common from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. In Placer County, Halloween pranks were the norm with towns such as Lincoln, Newcastle and Auburn reporting incidents such as wagons being moved, farming tools strung up on flagpoles and farm animals let out of their pens. But by the 1920s, a lot of communities were fed up with Halloween shenanigans, which delved more into reckless vandalism than good-humored pranks. In 1924, a group of students broke into the Newcastle school and caused extensive damage to the building and to school supplies. This issue was nationwide and some local governments around the county took steps to ban Halloween celebrations. Halloween parties, which were popular in the early 1900s, became focused on creating community celebrations and tried to give kids a safer way to celebrate the holiday. In some communities, young people would go to one house to acquire their costumes, the next house for snacks and the next house for refreshments. At the next house or barn they would play games and at the last house, they’d tell scary stories. We don’t know for sure exactly where the ritual of trick or treating began, but it likely evolved organically from these community parties sometime in the 1930s.

Keeping your cell phone safe from hackers By: The Roseville Police Department Your cell phone holds a lot of personal information, from passwords and bank accounts to emails, photos, and messages. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, hackers can steal your identity, make purchases with your money, or gain access to your email and social media accounts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips on how to protect your phone from hackers: 1. Lock your phone One of the easiest ways to protect your phone is by locking it when you're not using it. Set up a PIN or passcode with at least six digits. Many phones also allow you to unlock it using your fingerprint, face, or retina. By locking your phone, you’re keeping prying eyes out of your personal data. 2. Update your software Operating systems are updated regularly to protect against new security threats. Always keep your phone's software up-to-date by enabling automatic updates. The same goes for your apps—regular updates help close security gaps that hackers could exploit. 3. Back up your data Backing up your data ensures that if your phone is lost or stolen, you won’t lose access to important information like contacts, photos, and messages. Depending on your phone type, you can back up your data to the cloud or your computer. 4. Use phone finder services Apple and Android devices have built-in services to help locate your phone if it's lost. These features can also lock your phone remotely or even erase your data if you believe it's been stolen. Be sure to activate this feature in your phone settings. Following these simple steps can better protect your personal information and keep hackers at bay. With so much sensitive data stored on our phones, a little prevention goes a long way. Keep your phone secure to avoid headaches down the line.

Anderson and County Executive Officer John Bernard ceremoniously turned the first shovels of dirt to break ground on the construction of the new Health and Welfare building on the county’s property near the corner of Nevada Street and Fulweiler Avenue in Auburn. The two-story building, which cost $693,500, was dedicated Dec. 19, 1963. The Akol & Hansen Architectural firm designed the Health and Welfare building as well as a future library and administrative building that were to be constructed on the same campus. But the Placer County Board of Supervisors scrapped those plans and in 1966 on the same property, the geodesic-domed buildings of the new Placer County Administrative Center were built. In 1974, the Health and Welfare operations moved to the Placer County Government Center on the new DeWitt campus and the building they used to occupy was remodeled to house the County Finance Center. It was not the last time the building was remodeled to better serve the public. Today, the former Health and Welfare building next to the domes of the Placer County Administrative Center houses many different county operations from Human Resources and Economic Development to the Communications and Public Affairs Office, which produces the newsletter this article appears in. On Feb. 7, 2024, a new state-of-the-art Health and Human Services building opened at DeWitt, now called the Placer County Government Center.

The letter noted that “The Scary Clown images have done more lasting damage to a group of individuals than any other phenomenon…Promoting the scary clown images is a form of bullying for thousands of clown volunteers across this country.” The clowns that were on display in the Placer County Museum as part of a kid’s scavenger hunt for Halloween candy were just regular clown figurines. However, some of the museums’ staff and volunteers felt some of them were unsettling to look at. Was this because of horror movies and media? In a 2023 Scientific American article entitled “This is Why We’re Afraid of Clowns” the authors noted that “…the strongest factor we identified was hidden emotional signals, suggesting that for many people, a fear of clowns stems from not being able to see their facial expressions due to their make-up. We cannot see their “true” faces and therefore cannot understand their emotional intent.” Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, is a widely acknowledged phenomenon and there is one treatment that is highly effective: immersion therapy. The best way to cure your fear of clowns is to expose yourself to more clowns. So bring on the clowns!

Learn more about Prop. 36 The City of Roseville has received questions from the public about Placer County Transportation Planning Agency's (PCTPA) South Placer Traffic Relief ballot measure. So we're sharing answers to some frequently asked questions. What is Measure B and why is it on the ballot? Residents of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln will have the opportunity to vote on Measure B in the November 2024 election. It’s a 30-year half-cent sales tax that would provide a local transportation funding source to support $1.58 billion in road and highway improvements to address congestion. This would create a local funding “match,” which is required in order to access funding from the state and federal governments for transportation projects. Placer County currently does not have a local funding match, but 26 other counties do. The South Placer region is one of the most populous regions in the state without a local transportation sales tax funding source.

Roseville City Council Passes Resolution to Support Proposition 36 At its Aug. 21 meeting, the Roseville City Council unanimously passed a resolution to support Proposition 36, the Drug and Theft Crime Penalties and Treatment-Mandated Felonies Initiative to reform Prop. 47, which will go before voters on November 5. Learn more about Prop. 36 The City of Roseville has received questions from the public about Placer County Transportation Planning Agency's (PCTPA) South Placer Traffic Relief ballot measure. So we're sharing answers to some frequently asked questions. What is Measure B and why is it on the ballot? Residents of Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln will have the opportunity to vote on Measure B in the November 2024 election. It’s a 30-year half-cent sales tax that would provide a local transportation funding source to support $1.58 billion in road and highway improvements to address congestion. This would create a local funding “match,” which is required in order to access funding from the state and federal governments for transportation projects. Placer County currently does not have a local funding match, but 26 other counties do. The South Placer region is one of the most populous regions in the state without a local transportation sales tax funding source.

Godfrey Morgan, the passenger in this story, was a nurse from San Francisco accompanying a patient east. He developed a serious toothache en route and a message was sent ahead to the Colfax Depot asking if a dentist could meet the train. Dr. E.G. Williams, the local dentist, answered the call. After the successful extraction of the painful tooth, Morgan asked Williams if he could pull two more because it was a long trip east and he didn’t want to delay the journey any more than he already had. Williams obliged and extracted two more teeth. According to the Oct. 10, 1941, Colfax Record: “Now that trains are stopping in Colfax for passengers to have dental operations it probably won’t be long until airplanes will be parachuting patients down on the town for our local dentists to take care of aching teeth for passengers.” Photo from our collection: Dental extraction forceps, c. 1935 Advisory committees and commissions Whether it’s representing your community or sharing your expertise on topics like agriculture or parks, there are always opportunities for you to help advise county leaders on the issues that matter to you most.

9-1-1 Public Safety Newsletter for October 2024
Admin posted a article in Crime Prevention News Bulletins
October 1, 2024 Be careful driving on Halloween Kids love Halloween. Is there anything more fun for a child than to dress up in their favorite Halloween costume and stay up past their normal bedtime? With so many trick-or-treaters out at night, the potential for automobile-related accidents with young pedestrians increases four times this night according to a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study. Since children are preoccupied with the night's excitement, motorists must take extra precautions when driving on Halloween night. Here are a few tips to remember: Don’t use a cell phone or other electronic device. Even with hands-free devices, a driver’s attention is not focused on driving when talking on the phone. Avoid distraction by waiting until you’re parked to call, text, or surf. Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. Watch for children darting into the street. Kids can cross the street anywhere, and most young pedestrian deaths happen at spots other than intersections. Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway. Children could be crossing the street, or parents may be dropping off children. Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully. At twilight, and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing. Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic, and turn on your headlights earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. The prime time for trick-or-treaters is between 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Keeping kids safe on Halloween With all the fun Halloween brings, children may forget many of the safety rules you have taught them. Therefore, it is important to carve out some time before your children head out the door on Halloween to remind them of the rules you expect them to follow. Never get into a stranger’s car no matter what the person says. If your child is old enough to go out with friends, make sure that they have a pre-programmed cell phone with all important numbers, plan and review their route, and give them a time you expect them back. Children and adults are reminded to put electronic devices down, keep head up, and walk don’t run across the street. Tell your child to only go to homes with an outside light on, and never enter a home or car for a treat. When crossing the street remind your child not to assume drivers will stop. Motorists may have trouble seeing trick-or-treaters. Just because one car stops doesn't mean others will. Tell your child not to eat any of their treats until you have checked them. Law enforcement should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity.

How to avoid Amazon impersonator scams Americans receive up to 150 million robocalls per month from scammers impersonating Amazon employees. With so many people using Amazon on a daily basis, it’s no wonder scammers are targeting these shoppers. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) one version of the scam has the victim receiving a call, recorded message, or text stating that there’s something wrong with their account. The problem could be a suspicious purchase, a lost package, or an order they can’t fulfill. The scammers tell their victims that they need information like your Amazon password or your credit card information. If you receive an unexpected message like this, the FTC has the following recommendations: Do not press ‘1’ to speak with customer support. Do not call the phone number they gave you. Do not give out your personal information. What should you do instead? Hang up or ignore the message. Check your Amazon account and credit card statements to confirm any fraudulent charges. If you think there is actually a problem with your account, contact Amazon using a phone number you know is real. Report the scam using FTC’s online form. If you are a frequent user of Amazon or any online retailer, be vigilant. Never give out your personal information to someone who calls or texts you. Always be suspicious of unexpected calls or messages. If you take these precautions, you can sit back and enjoy your online shopping experience.
