Schedule free tax prep WATCH: CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department Chief Brian Estes’s creativity found unexpected ways to shine throughout his remarkable career This week in Placer County history On Feb. 8, 1978, pilot Herman Crabtrey took off from Phoenix Field in Fair Oaks in his 1960 Comanche airplane heading east. After about 30 minutes, terror struck the pilot when his engine sputtered and died. Frantically, he searched below for a place to land and was able to glide his plane over Interstate 80. He was able to touchdown just ahead of a semi-truck near the Applegate exit. Within minutes, a California Highway Patrol Officer arrived and was able to tow Crabtrey’s plane off the highway. According to the Feb. 10, 1978, Auburn Journal, “The engine was pulled Thursday [Feb. 9] and will be sent to the FAA [Federal Aviation Agency] Lab in Sacramento to determine what happened. Crabtrey then plans to have it repaired by a Lincoln mechanic.” After the engine failure cause was identified, Crabtrey paid the Lincoln mechanic $2,000 to repair and re-install it in his plane, which remained near the Applegate exit. Crabtrey obtained a one-time permission letter from Caltrans, CHP and Placer County to make the westbound lanes of Interstate 80 his runway and on March 10, 1978, Herman successfully took off amid applause from onlookers. He landed safely at Phoenix Field in Fair Oaks about 10 minutes after takeoff. Photo: Detail of the Feb. 10, 1978, Auburn Journal.

The sound jolted homeowners and rattled windows as far away as Luther Road. The Auburn Fire and Police departments responded. According to the Feb. 7, 1982, Auburn Journal: “Pranksters fired off a Civil War cannon in the Old Auburn District Cemetery…The explosion knocked the ancient cannon awry on its cement base and flattened a flagpole located directly behind the cannon. Shreds of toilet paper were strewn all over.” Assistant Auburn Fire Chief Keith Lukens said that the pranksters loaded black powder into the cannon, then stuffed it with toilet paper before lighting it off. An unnamed culprit was apprehended by Auburn policeman Wayne Lankford, who made him agree to make restitution to the Cemetery District in lieu of arrest.

NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE 2025 METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN/SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES STRATEGY FOR THE SACRAMENTO REGION INTRODUCTION You are invited by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) to comment on the scope and content of the programmatic environmental impact report (EIR) that will be prepared for the 2025 update of the regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS). You may do so electronically, during a virtual meeting, or by mail - instructions are provided below. The 2025 MTP/SCS is an integrated land use and transportation strategy for the six-county region consisting of Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, Yuba, and portions of Placer and El Dorado counties (the Lake Tahoe basin in these counties is excluded from the SACOG region). Figure 1 depicts the Sacramento metropolitan planning area which is the area covered by the 2025 MTP/SCS. More information about the 2025 MTP/SCS and the update process is available at the following web site: https://www.sacog.org/planning/blueprint SACOG will be the lead agency for preparation of the EIR. This notice of preparation (NOP) is being issued for the 2025 MTP/SCS EIR to responsible agencies, interested parties, and organizations. If you wish to provide comments or suggestions addressing the scope and content of the EIR, you may do so during the designated 30-day comment period, which runs from February 5, 2025, to March 7, 2025 (4:00 p.m.). PROJECT LOCATION The plan area for the proposed 2025 MTP/SCS includes El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties, exclusive of the Tahoe Basin. Located in the north San Joaquin Valley in Central California, the plan area encompasses approximately 6,000 square miles and is bounded by Colusa, Lake, Napa, and Solano counties to the west; Butte, Sierra, and Nevada counties to the north; the Lake Tahoe Basin, Plumas, and Alpine counties to the east; and Amador, San Joaquin, and Contra Costa counties to the south. The bulk of the plan area is located in the Sacramento Valley, a basin generally bounded by the Sierra Nevada mountain range to the east and the coastal ranges to the west. The eastern portion of the region – Placer County, El Dorado County, and Eastern Yuba County – is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and foothills. The western portion of the region, in Yolo County, marks the eastern edge of the coastal mountain ranges. North to south, the plan area spans from the lower Sacramento Valley in northern Sutter and Yuba counties to the Sacramento River Delta in southern Sacramento County. In the valley portion of the plan area – Sacramento County, western Placer County, western Yuba County, Sutter County, and eastern Yolo County – the topography is generally flat, with the exception of the Sutter Buttes mountain range in Sutter County. Urban uses in the 2025 MTP/SCS plan area are primarily concentrated in an urban core in northern and central Sacramento County, eastern Yolo County, southwestern Placer County, and western El Dorado County, with smaller urban areas separated from this core and each other by rural lands. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION Designated by the Federal government as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the region, SACOG oversees the MTP, which is updated every 4 years in collaboration with local governments. The MTP is a long-range (at least 20-year) comprehensive plan for the region’s multi-modal transportation system that is required for the region to qualify for some federal and state transportation funding for public transit, streets/roads, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. SACOG’s last adopted MTP/SCS was published in 2020 and has a 2040 planning horizon. The 2025 MTP/SCS aims to achieve various federal, state, regional, and local policy objectives related to sustainable development, transportation, and GHG emission reduction while considering financial, growth, and regulatory constraints. The plan is built on extensive data analysis, public outreach, and collaboration with local agencies and experts while being grounded in the board-adopted Triple Bottom Line framework, emphasizing a balanced approach to equity, economy, and environment. Over the past year, SACOG has laid the groundwork for the update, culminating in the adoption of a set of land use assumptions for the plan in June 2024 and a transportation investment strategy that complements the adopted land use assumptions in November 2024. Under California’s Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act, or Senate Bill (SB) 375 (Statutes of 2008, Chapter 728), SACOG is required to adopt an SCS as part of every MTP that aligns transportation, housing, and land use decisions to help achieve the per-capita reduction targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger vehicles that are set by the California Air Resources Board. For each plan update, SACOG prepares a projection for the amount of regional growth in population, employment, and households the region can expect over the life of the plan. For the 2025 MTP/SCS, the forecast of growth (called the regional growth projections) was adopted by the SACOG board in 2022 and anticipates that the region will grow by nearly 600,000 people, and will add just over 260,000 new jobs, and 278,000 new homes. The 2025 MTP/SCS is designed to achieve the regional SB 375 GHG target while prioritizing maintenance and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. It integrates smart land use planning principles with a diverse and efficient transportation network. The plan identifies targeted transportation investments, including new capital improvements (e.g., highways, roads, bridges, and light rail), policies such as roadway pricing strategies (e.g., tolling and mileage fees), and multimodal benefits aimed at connecting housing to jobs, managing congestion, and addressing forecasted travel volumes. SCOPING PROCESS In accordance with Section 15082 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines, the purpose of this NOP is to seek comments about the scope and content of the EIR that will be prepared analyzing this update of the MTP/SCS. Comments and suggestions as to the appropriate scope of analysis in the EIR, potential mitigation measures, and alternatives are invited from all interested parties. If you represent an agency that may use the EIR for tiering purposes, SACOG is particularly interested in learning what information may be helpful for such tiering in connection with your project-specific environmental review. PROBABLE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND SCOPE OF THE EIR The environmental analysis presented in the EIR will describe the existing conditions in the plan area. Relevant federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including applicable General Plan policies from local jurisdictions, will be summarized. The methods of analysis and standards of significance used to determine projected-related impacts will be described in each of the environmental analysis sections of the EIR, including any assumptions that are important to understand the conclusions of the analysis. The EIR will also evaluate potential cumulative effects and potential growth-inducing impacts of the proposed project and compare impacts of the project to a reasonable range of project alternatives. Based on available information and the scope of effects that could result from implementation of the 2025 MTP/SCS, SACOG anticipates that the following resource areas will be evaluated in the EIR: Aesthetic Agriculture Resources/Forestry Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Energy Geology/Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use/Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population/Housing Public Services Recreation Transportation Tribal Cultural Resources Utilities/Service Systems Wildfire COMMENT PERIOD INFORMATION Due to time limits mandated by State law, your response must be received no later than March 6, 2025 (4:00 p.m.) using any of the following methods: By Mail: SACOG, 1415 L Street, Suite 300, Sacramento, CA 95814 By Fax: (916) 321-9551 By Email: eircomments@sacog.org All comments will become part of the public record. Please include the name, organization (if applicable), mailing address, and e-mail address of the contact person for all future notifications related to this process. SCOPING MEETINGS Two virtual public scoping meetings will be held via Zoom to receive comments on the appropriate scope and content of the EIR. These meetings will take place on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, from 11:30 to 1:00 and Thursday, February 27, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 26, 2025 Register Here Thursday, February 27, 2025 Register Here Copyright (C) 2025 SACOG.

Donating to wildfire relief? Beware of scammers By: The Roseville Police Department In the aftermath of the devastating wildfires in Southern California, communities across the nation are rallying to help those affected. While many people are eager to contribute, it’s crucial to remain cautious when donating. Scammers are taking advantage of the situation, using increasingly sophisticated methods to steal money from well-meaning donors. With the abundance of charitable organizations, it can be difficult to determine which ones are legitimate. Adding to the confusion, federal laws allow legitimate charities to make fundraising calls, which scammers can exploit by impersonating real charities. They may even manipulate Caller ID to appear more convincing. Advances in artificial intelligence have made their schemes even harder to detect, and social media has become another tool scammers use to trick potential donors. If you want to help wildfire victims, it’s essential to ensure your money is going to trustworthy organizations. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance offers several tips for safe and thoughtful giving: Verify the charity’s trustworthiness: Use Give.org to search for charity reports and confirm whether the organization meets BBB Standards for Charity Accountability. Only donate to charities you can verify as trustworthy. Look for specific relief activities: Be wary of vague appeals that don’t clearly outline how your donation will be used. Legitimate organizations should provide detailed information about their relief efforts. Avoid clickbait and phishing scams: After disasters, scammers often send emails, texts, or social media links that appear to connect you to a familiar charity. Instead of clicking these links, visit the charity’s official website directly. Examine crowdfunding requests: Crowdfunding platforms vary in how they screen and verify campaigns. Research the platform’s procedures, and pay attention to fees and other details. When in doubt, donate directly to well-known organizations rather than individual campaigns. Check state charity registrations: About 40 states require charities to register annually. You can verify an organization’s registration through your state’s attorney general or secretary of state’s office. Understand disaster relief phases: Disasters typically involve three stages—rescue, relief, and recovery—each requiring different types of support. Knowing these phases can help you direct your donation to where it’s needed most. Your contribution can make a real difference to wildfire victims, but vigilance is key. Scammers often rely on emotions and urgency to manipulate donors. By taking a few extra steps to verify organizations and avoid suspicious appeals, you can ensure your generosity truly benefits those in need. Stay informed, donate wisely, and help Southern California rebuild. To see a list of BBB Accredited Charities supporting Southern California Wildfire Relief, click here.

Placer County has the second lowest rate of homelessness among all California counties. This week, county staff - from Health & Human Services to law enforcement - joined partners from other cities and nonprofit organizations to support the Homeless Resource Council of the Sierras' annual Point-In-Time count. The local annual count is part of a nationwide effort, required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to assess homelessness by collecting data on individuals and families experiencing unsheltered or sheltered homelessness. The information gathered helps identify community needs, allocate resources and develop strategies to address homelessness effectively. Dozens of volunteers helped with the count, the results of which are expected to be published in late spring. Since 2020, homelessness in Placer has slightly declined, as rates statewide have increased. Last year (2024), there were 702 homeless individuals counted in Placer County – the second lowest rate per capita (17.0 per 10,000) statewide. Of the unsheltered population, 56% were in south Placer, 40% in mid Placer and 3% in eastern Placer. This week in Placer County history On Jan. 27, 1943, Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Riley of Auburn received a letter from their son, Lt. Bob Riley, who was serving in the Army Air Corps as a P-38 combat pilot in North Africa during World War II. In the letter, Riley explained that he had narrowly escaped death in his latest mission. He had taken fire and lost an engine, but was able to keep his damaged craft aloft the two hours it took to return to base. After he landed, the ground crew discovered four high explosive cannon shell holes along with nine 30-caliber holes. His P-38 was determined to be unrepairable and was promptly disassembled for parts to repair other aircraft. From an excerpt of his letter published in the Jan. 28, 1943, Auburn Journal: “You sure can learn a lot from a scrap like that though, and let me tell you, it will be a long cold day in July before they catch me like that again. So don’t worry about that. I’ve lived through the worst stages, so I’ve (got) a darn good chance for the rest.” Bob Riley was a graduate of both Placer High School and Placer Junior College (now Sierra College). He flew 53 combat missions over North Africa and Europe during World War II. He remained in the Air Force after it was officially established in 1947 from the former Army Air Corps and began flying fighter jets. He retired from the Air Force in the 1960s as a lieutenant colonel. In 2007, at the age of 86, he became a walking tour docent for the Placer County Museums. Before his death in 2017, he donated some of his uniforms and medals to the Placer County Museums. Riley is buried in the Old Auburn Cemetery. From our collection: Lt. Col. Bob Riley’s U.S. Air Force blue flight cap, c. 1959 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.

Help us understand your commute patterns and inform our Regional Commuter Transportation Plan for the North Tahoe and Truckee Region with a short survey Over $9 million approved for community projects in Tahoe This week in Placer County history On Jan. 23, 1915, readers of the Placer Herald newspaper were informed that noted portrait artist Herman Herkomer had moved to the Mt. Vernon area just outside of Auburn. Herkomer had been living in Europe but came to California to show his art in San Francisco in preparation for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition that year. Herkomer was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1862 and discovered his talent and love for painting at an early age. He studied and practiced in Europe for 31 years, exhibiting his art at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy of London before returning to the U.S. in 1915. According to the Jan. 23, 1915, Placer Herald: “After painting likenesses of many royal personages, the Bank of England directorate, etc., Mr. Herkomer tired of being an artist and sought farm life in California.” Although he and his wife continued to live on their farm in Mt. Vernon, by 1918 he opened a winter art studio in Santa Barbara. But, most of their time was spent in the Auburn area until his death in 1935.

Photo of the week Thank you to the brave firefighters assisting the state in containing the wildfires in Los Angeles. This #PlacerLife photo of local CAL FIRE firefighters assigned to the Palisades Fire was posted on Instagram. Featured story Human trafficking is closer than you think. Let’s make sure no one falls through the cracks. January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and Placer County kicked it off by participating in the Red Sand Project at the Downtown Roseville pedestrian bridge last week. Community members came together to pour red sand into sidewalk cracks, symbolizing victims of human trafficking who often “fall through the cracks.” Check out video from the event, and for those unable to attend, red sand is available for pickup throughout January at the Children’s System of Care offices in Rocklin and Auburn. Victims of human trafficking are in our communities and often overlooked. Vulnerable individuals, including children, are often targeted by traffickers. By raising awareness, we can better protect our neighbors. Visit our District Attorney’s Office human trafficking resource portal here. There are more opportunities to get involved throughout January, including trainings, webinars and a panel discussion with experts Jan. 29 hosted by the Placer County Office of Education.

Determined to save the stranded men, women and children , the citizens of nearby Michigan Bluff sprang into action. A boat was quickly constructed under the supervision of Capt. Giles A. Buel, a former sea captain. Once the makeshift boat was ready, Morris Flood and Samuel Jones joined Buel and maneuvered the boat into the torrent of the American River. But tragedy struck when their boat was swamped, and all three men were swept away by the raging waters. Their bodies were never recovered. In their grief, the people of Michigan Bluff mustered the courage for a second attempt. According to the Jan. 18 Placer Herald: “The People on Boston Bar were rescued on Sunday [Jan. 12], by Geo. Langdon and several other fearless, brave men who succeeded in taking a boat to them from the El Dorado side.” Men harnessed the power of water to mine placer gold, but that power could, at times, become ungovernable and deadly.

Read more This week in Placer County history On Jan. 7, 1980, Auburn was visited by a famous four-legged actor: Benjean, also known as Benji. According to the Jan. 8, 1980, Auburn Journal, “…although the celebrity didn’t have much to say, his trainer, Frank Inn, discussed Benji’s world travels. Besides starring in two movies and a television series, Benji has visited countries throughout the world and has two television specials coming up this spring.” Benjean replaced her father, Higgins, who portrayed Benji in the 1974 film “Benji.” When he got too old to perform in the mid-1970s. Benjean starred in three movies: “For the Love of Benji,” “Oh! Heavenly Dog,” and “Benji the Hunted.” Benjean also starred in four television specials and a short-lived Hanna-Barbera series, “Benji, Zax and the Alien Prince.” The family-friendly film series was popular in the 1970s and 80s. There were two attempts to revive the franchise in 2004 and 2018, but each bombed at the box office. Both Benjean and Higgins were mixed-breed dogs.

Scams to Avoid in 2025 By: The Roseville Police Department Americans lose billions of dollars to online scams every year. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), scammers have even more tools to trick unsuspecting individuals into giving away their personal information or money. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, reported losses in 2023 exceeded $12 billion. Digital tools like chatbots have made it easier to deceive people, and this trend is expected to continue. Below are some of the top scams to watch out for in 2025: 1. Job Offer Scams This scam often appears on job boards or comes via phone calls, messages, or unsolicited emails offering quick cash for little work. Scammers may ask for personal details like your Social Security number, bank account information, or even money to cover training or equipment costs under the guise of “routine paperwork” for employment. Prevention Tip: Apply only for jobs on reputable sites. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 2. Lottery Scams These scams involve contact through email, text, or social media claiming you’ve won a lottery, sweepstakes, or big-ticket prize like money or a trip. Scammers often ask for payment to cover taxes or legal fees. Warning signs include having to pay to claim a prize, not remembering entering a contest, or the lottery originating from a foreign country. Prevention Tip: Don’t trust anyone claiming you’ve won a lottery, especially if you have to pay to receive the prize. 3. Government Impersonation Scams Scammers pose as officials from government agencies such as law enforcement, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or the U.S. Postal Service. They may threaten fines, jail time, or other consequences to pressure you into sending money or personal information. Common payment methods requested include gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers. Prevention Tip: Verify the agency’s authenticity by using a trusted phone number—not one provided by the caller. Government agencies will never request payment through gift cards or cryptocurrency. 4. Grandparent Scams This scam targets older adults by exploiting their willingness to help family members. Scammers pose as a grandchild or relative in distress, often claiming they need money urgently to get out of trouble abroad, such as being in jail. Prevention Tip: Take time to verify the family member’s identity by asking specific questions only they would know. Contact other family members to confirm before sending any money. How to Report a Scam If you fall victim to a scam, it’s important to report it. File a police report by calling (916) 774-5000, extension 1. You should also report the scam to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. The more information authorities have, the better they can track scammers and prevent future crimes. Remember, if something feels off or too good to be true, it probably is. Stay vigilant and protect your personal information.
