California Lieutenant Gov. Goodwin Knight was also there to crown Queen Harriet Huntley. Clark, Jr. was born March 19, 1914 in Lincoln. After high school, he focused on becoming a doctor and was accepted into Stanford University. While a student there, he acted in a play and everything changed. He became a drama major, eventually leaving Stanford to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Over the course of his career, Clark, Jr. acted in 108 movies and television shows. He had roles in “White Heat” (1949), “Sunset Boulevard” (1950), “A Place in the Sun” (1951) and “How to Marry a Millionaire” (1953), just to name a few. He also had guest appearances in many popular television shows such as “Bonanza,” “I Dream of Jeannie” and “The Addams Family.” He acted until his untimely death Dec. 5, 1968, due to liver disease.

McKee was Rogers’ first partner in vaudeville. In 1905, the Oklahoma natives started a riding and roping act that played in many small-town venues across the country. Their act grew in popularity until they eventually played in Hammerstein’s, one of the largest Vaudeville houses in New York City. The pair later traveled to Europe, where they performed for crowds in London and Berlin. In 1924, Buck and his wife, Maude, a former vaudeville dancer, sought a quieter life and moved to Roseville to open a horse-riding school. Will Rogers' career took off after vaudeville with radio programs, lectures and a regular newspaper column that was picked up by most newspapers around the country. He was America’s humorist. He also made many films. He was making a movie in Sacramento when he decided to pay a visit to his old vaudeville partner, McKee. According to the May 30, 1935, Roseville Press Tribune: “When Rogers first appeared on the stage, he was too bashful to say a word. It was McKee who started him wisecracking, a habit which has won Rogers world fame.” Less than three months later, on Aug. 15, 1935, Will Rogers lost his life, along with pilot, Wiley Post, when their small plane crashed during takeoff in Point Barrow, Alaska. It was a death that affected the country deeply. Buck McKee likened it to losing a brother.

  8. Scammers are pretending to be government workers, and it’s costing people money. These imposters might contact you by phone, email, or text message. They claim they’re from the Social Security Administration, Medicare, or another government agency. They might say something scary, like your Social Security number has been suspended or that you could lose your benefits. To fix the “problem,” they demand money or personal information. They may ask you to send gift cards or read them the PIN numbers. Some even ask for payment through wire transfers or cryptocurrency. These scammers can sound very convincing. They may even know part of your Social Security number. Your caller ID may show a Washington, D.C. area code, making it look like a real government call. But here’s the truth: It’s not the government. The U.S. government does not call, email, or text people out of the blue to threaten them or offer surprise money. Real government agencies won’t ask for payment using gift cards, wire transfers, or crypto. These are sure signs of a scam. Even if the caller seems to know personal details or your caller ID looks official, it could still be fake. Scammers can “spoof” phone numbers to make them look real. If you’re unsure, don’t respond. Instead, contact the agency directly using a number you know is real, not the one they gave you. What to do: Stop and think. If someone contacts you claiming to be from the government and asks for money or personal info, hang up or delete the message. Do not send money or share private information. Don’t pay with gift cards, wire transfers, or crypto. These payment methods are a red flag. You won’t get your money back if you fall for this scam. Find the real contact information. If you want to reach a government agency, go to USA.gov. That’s the official source for government contact information. Tell someone. Even if you haven’t received one of these calls or messages, chances are someone you know has. Share this information with friends or family. You could help stop the scam before it spreads. Stay alert. Government impostor scams are common, but with the right knowledge, you can avoid becoming a victim.

At Roseville Electric, safety is a core value that drives every aspect of our operations. Through daily practices, continuous training, and a culture of accountability, we work to ensure all employees perform their duties safely and confidently. Here are a few simple electrical safety tips you can practice at home: Don’t overwhelm your outlets – limit them to one heat-producing appliance and use smart plugs. Always call before you dig - calling 811 before you start any digging projects can help ensure your safety and prevent potential repair expenses. Keep your party balloons tightly tethered - metallic (mylar) balloons that accidentally float into power lines can cause power outages or worse.

The float won the award for “Best Theme.” Claude Chana originally discovered gold in what is now the Auburn Ravine on May 16, 1848. That discovery likely occurred near the area beneath the train trestle over Interstate 80. The parade marked the first time many people had seen the statue, sparking the idea that it should be permanently displayed in Old Town Auburn. Fox hoped to sell the statue and initially asked $10,000. In 1975, a group of interested citizens formed an ad hoc committee, the Claude Chana Committee, to raise funds to purchase the statue. The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce accepted donations on behalf of the committee, and the community quickly responded. Fox reduced the price to $8,000, calling it a $2,000 donation to the effort. The statue was purchased and mounted in its permanent location in Old Town Auburn near Auburn Ravine. It was formally dedicated July 4, 1975. On May 16, living relatives of Claude Chana—some of whom still reside in the Chana family home in France—visited Auburn and saw the statue dedicated to their ancestor. A few even struck gold while panning in the stream at the Gold Rush Museum!

The now silent weapons of war joined a Civil War cannon on the grounds where they would forever guard the front of the building. According to the May 12, 1932, Auburn Journal: “The larger of the two guns is an English 60-pound or five-inch field piece of modern construction. The gun was captured by the Germans and later retaken by the American Army.” The smaller gun is a German 105 mm field piece that was captured by the American Army. The U.S. government shipped the guns to San Francisco and the American Legion transported them to Auburn, where they mounted them in place. On Oct. 16, 1932, the Auburn Veterans Memorial Hall was formally dedicated with about 5,000 spectators in attendance.

The train began in Sacramento and stopped at Rocklin, Newcastle, Colfax and Truckee, where similar plaques were dedicated. A second train, the Golden Spike Special, which had 20 cars and just under 1,000 passengers, stopped at Roseville, Newcastle, Colfax and Truckee on its way to Ogden, Utah. Placer County Sheriff William Scott was the master of ceremonies for the Auburn plaque dedication, which was also officiated by E. Coke Wood, chairman of the State Landmarks Commission, and Nanci Schumacher, a descendant of Mark Hopkins, one of the “Big Four” responsible for the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, the western portion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The Placer High School Band provided celebratory music for the event. The plaque, though a bit weathered and stained after 56 years, remains at the base of the tower between the First Foundation Bank and the Gold Rush Museum at the top of Lincoln Way in Auburn.

This month, help us raise awareness about electrical safety practices and ways to reduce electric-related accidents and injuries. At Roseville Electric, safety is a core value that drives every aspect of our operations. Through daily practices, continuous training, and a culture of accountability, we work to ensure all employees perform their duties safely and confidently. Here are a few simple electrical safety tips you can practice at home: Don’t overwhelm your outlets – limit them to one heat-producing appliance and use smart plugs. Always call before you dig - calling 811 before you start any digging projects can help ensure your safety and prevent potential repair expenses. Keep your party balloons tightly tethered - metallic (mylar) balloons that accidentally float into power lines can cause power outages or worse.

Cassidy approached the crossing with caution, driving only four to five miles per hour while listening intently. But the view up the tracks was obscured with overgrown shrubs and trees and the sound of the car’s engine made it difficult to hear anything else. As she crept up onto the tracks, the sudden blare of the approaching train’s whistle shocked her into rapidly accelerating the engine, which immediately flooded and stalled. She and a Mrs. McCann escaped from the front seat, but Cassidy’s father, Mr. McIver, and her 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the back seat. McCann helped McIver out while Cassidy reached in and pulled her daughter to safety, the train barely grazing them as it smashed and destroyed the car. No one was seriously injured. The April 29, 1926, Auburn Journal noted: “The crossing is an extremely dangerous one and it is due to the almost criminal negligence of the railroad company that a number of accidents have happened in recent years at that place.” While active safety measures for railroad crossings became standardized in the 1940s, they aren’t required. Many low-traffic railroad crossings today are guarded by passive safety measures such as stop signs or crossbuck warning signs. As the old but important saying goes: “Stop, look and listen” when crossing any railroad track!

  23. Could that unexpected text be a scam? By: The Roseville Police Department Did you know that 98% of people always open text messages? With fraud losses involving text scams increasing, it’s a good possibility that unexpected text could be a scam. If scammers can get you to respond, they have a possible victim they can cash in on. Here are some trick the scammer may employ: You receive a text message from the fraud department from Amazon, your bank, or credit card company informing you of suspicious charges to your account and you need to respond by calling or messaging back. Instead of helping, the scammer tricks you into sending money. You receive a text indicating that there is a problem with a delivery, or it may be a message about unpaid tolls. The text tells you to click the link to fix the problem. The link takes you to a fake website where you give out your credit card information and other personal information You receive a text that might say, “Hi, how are you?” It seems harmless and your first thought is to respond and let the texter know they have the wrong number. Scammers are actually trying to get you to text back and keep the conversation going in hopes of befriending you. Their ultimate goal is to gain your trust. They will then claim they can help you make money by investing in cryptocurrency, the stock market, or something else. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers the following tips on what to do if you are getting text messages from unknown numbers. Don’t reply to text messages from unknown numbers. It could lead to a scam. Delete and report them using your phone’s “report junk” option or forwarding unwanted texts to 7726 (SPAM) and unwanted emails to your email provider. Never click links in an unexpected message. Some links might steal your information, or install malware that gives scammers access to your device. Don’t trust anyone who says you can quickly and easily make money. Every investment has risks. Only scammers guarantee you’ll make lots of money in a short time with zero risk. Don’t assume a text from a known company or organization is legit. Check it out. Reach out to the company, state tolling agency, or bank using a phone number or website you know is real — not the info from the text. Have you lost money to a scam like this? Tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. and to your local law enforcement agency.

Hopkins with a ring made of California gold. Hopkins was leaving Auburn to return to his home in the “Eastern States” as the Placer Herald put it. Rings made of California gold or even studded with gold nuggets were common gifts in that era. However, the Placer Herald writer followed that warm story with a recognition of the fact that not everyone who came to California during the Gold Rush was planning to leave. The April 23, 1853, Placer Herald noted: “’WHEN ARE YOU GOING HOME?’ We used to wonder to ourselves how many times a day this question was asked. It used to be a very reasonable one, but in these latter days it seems to have become obsolete. People in California now begin to think they are at home.” Many people left their homes in other parts of the country or world for the gold fields in California, thinking they would find their fortune and return home. But mining for gold was arduous and oftentimes unrewarding, as many had to find other ways to make enough money to survive. Those who found work, started a business or began farming built a life for themselves – a life every bit as good as the life they had “back home”. This article embraces the end of the California Gold Rush and the beginning of a new chapter in our state’s history.

What made this move historic was the fact that the assessor had occupied that second-floor office since the courthouse opened in 1898. The courthouse once housed all the county’s departments including, but not limited to, the clerk recorder, district attorney, Board of Supervisors and sheriff. Between 1940 and 1975, many county departments found more space to grow in new buildings. A new jail and Sheriff’s Office opened behind the courthouse in 1941. Opening in 1966 were the geodesic domes of the new Placer County Administrative Center, which housed the Board of Supervisors. Many other departments found new homes on the DeWitt campus after the county acquired the property in 1972 from the state. The move for the Assessor’s Office in 1973 proved to be temporary. In 1998, 100 years after they opened their new office in the courthouse, the Assessor’s Office relocated into the brand-new Finance Administration Building on the DeWitt campus.
