Photo of the weekThis #PlacerLife photo of the evening sky in Placer County was taken by @laurakay.gardner on Instagram. Featured story Drive collects more than 2,600 comfort stuffed animals for first respondersEmergency situations can be frightening, especially for children. Placer County’s first responders have a way to help ease those moments and provide comfort - stuffed animals! The Older Adults Advisory Commission recently conducted a stuffed animal drive to collect and equip the first responders with these comfort stuffies to have on hand in times of need. The drive collected more than 2,600 stuffed animals for firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency personnel — more than doubling the original goal. OAAC commissioners gathered with first responders to hand off the stuffed animals, which will be kept in patrol cars, fire engines and ambulances in order to distribute during calls when someone could use a bit of comfort or calm. View the full photo album A huge thank you is extended to the many volunteers that coordinated collection sites, sorted and helped prepare the stuffed animals for distribution to the first responders this week.

In 1866, the Survey or General Report listed 35 orange trees planted throughout the county. Although they were ornamental and for personal consumption, these thriving early trees proved the region had an ideal climate for growing citrus, where it has since become a famous local crop. That journey began as a water company advertisement. In 1878, the Bear River Ditch Company saw an opportunity to attract new customers and advertised that it would supply free water for five years to plant oranges and lemons.Before long, a variety of citrus was planted throughout western Placer County, but was only locally known. In December 1889, a group of determined citizens on the Placer County Board of Trade wanted to advertise the bounty of the region and prove that the California Citrus Belt extended further north than was thought possible. An exhibit committee was formed with the intention of advertising Placer County citrus. The committee reserved Platt Hall in San Francisco and transported 30,000 oranges along with crates of lemons, apples, persimmons, figs, raisins and a variety of dried fruits. Many were displayed overflowing from granite urns quarried from the area. There were also bushels of walnuts and chestnuts, and jars of olive oil, while hanging from an arch at the center of the exhibit was a branch holding 36 oranges. The exhibit lasted for eight days and included band concerts every evening. Over 25,000 visitors explored the exhibit and at the end, most of the fruit was donated to kindergartens, hospitals and charitable organizations throughout the city. Today, Placer County is known for its extensive citrus and mandarin industry. Photo: Placer County Museums collection; 1889.

In the 1920s and 1930s, turkey production grew rapidly in western Placer County, as local producers began competing with a variety of breeds. By the 1970s and 1980s, poultry became the county’s leading agricultural industry, bolstered by large processing facilities near Lincoln. A snapshot from 1952 captures William Cannon of Long Valley with some of the more than 10,000 broad breasted bronze turkeys that he and his partner, Louis Brenzo, brought to market that year.

Common tactics include: Stealing card info: Thieves remove cards from store racks, record the numbers and PINs, often by taking quick photos, and put them back. Swapping with fakes: In some cases, they replace legitimate cards with high-quality counterfeits. Monitoring activation: After tampering, scammers track the card online or use bots to check when it’s activated. Draining the balance: As soon as money hits the card, they spend or transfer the funds instantly By the time the gift is unwrapped, the balance is usually long gone. How to Protect Yourself Retailers are working to improve security, but you can take simple steps to reduce risk: Inspect the card and packaging: Look for torn packaging, peeled or scratched stickers, exposed PINs, or any signs that the pack was opened and resealed. Buy cards kept behind the counter: Cards stored with staff or handed to you directly are far less likely to be tampered with. Choose digital gift cards: Purchasing directly from the retailer’s website eliminates physical tampering. Keep the card details secure and only redeem through trusted payment portals. Use the card promptly: Encourage the recipient to use the balance soon to minimize the window scammers have to access it. Keep receipts and check balances: Hold onto proof of purchase and monitor the balance until the card is fully spent. This can improve your chances of reimbursement if fraud occurs. Stay one step ahead this season Gift card draining is a holiday headache no one wants. With a quick inspection and some smart purchasing choices, especially digital cards, you can help ensure your gift goes to your loved one, not a scammer’s stocking. -

We hope the increased variety will serve to deepen appreciation of Placer County’s fascinating history. On Oct. 1, 1924, residents transformed historic Auburn into a grand celebration to mimic the days of ’49. It was officially called the “Gold Trail Extension” and meant to showcase the town’s colorful past in coordination with the meeting of the American Mining Congress in Sacramento. A special train ran from the capital to “Woods Dry Diggings,” as it was known in 1849, with 500 passengers. In all, over 6,000 people from around the area joined the 24-hour event, which included a parade, music, dancing, a huge barbeque and hydraulic mining demonstrations on the Auburn Ravine. According to the Oct. 1 Placer Herald, the committee organizing the event advertised it was, “endeavoring to depict the early mining days, with a ’49 atmosphere, but does not approve or sanction any ‘rough stuff.’ Everything must be clean, historical and instructive… We invite and welcome all who want a little clean fun.” Pictured here is one of Placer County’s specialized “mud wagons” designed to carry mail and passengers along the steep, rocky hills throughout the region. Deputy Sheriff Frank “Big Dip” Dependener rides shotgun as the stage passes by the historic Post Office in Old Town. To see a mud wagon on display, visit the Placer County Museum, open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. with free admission. On weekends, you can also support our local Placer County Historical Society by stopping by the Old Town Auburn Post Office, which they have transformed into a visitor center and are looking for volunteers.

A blanket of snow fell as far as Auburn where earlier that week, temperatures were in the mid-80s. The sudden storm also came with high winds and gusts in the Sierra, reportedly up to 70 mph. Many travelers were caught off guard. At the time, two local Sierra College students, David Ensinger and Terry Moore, were on a three-day camping trip in rugged back country near Emigrant Gap where they became stranded and sought shelter in an old miner’s cabin. Relatives reported them missing and as soon as the weather broke, Sheriff William A. Scott and pilot H.E. “Ace” Hibbard began searching by air. Fortunately, the stranded men had made distress signs in the snow which were soon spotted from above. The pilot dropped emergency food and supplies so the men could then hike back out to safety just before a second storm hit the area. Meanwhile, dozens of Air Force and Navy planes began searching for a lost T-33 military jet en route to McClellan Air Force Base and piloted by Capt. David H. Henderson. The search ranged from Fresno to Chico in between heavy storms. The wreckage was finally discovered by fishermen the following July, in a remote area near Donner Summit.

By 7:30 a.m., more than 1,000 people joined in a spontaneous parade through the streets, pictured here in Central Square, carrying U.S. flags and sharing in the joy of the peace to come. They are wearing masks as required by Auburn City Ordinance No. 182, which was designed to slow the deadly influenza pandemic that was spreading at the time. Armistice Day was officially commemorated in 1919 as a day to show gratitude for veterans and heroes, and to reflect upon the importance of peace. The day continued to be observed over the years and in 1938, Nov. 11 officially became a legal holiday. Finally, in 1954 and following both World War II and U.S. involvement in the Korean War, President Dwight D.

Next Wednesday, Nov. 5, join Placer County for our next Discover & Discuss community event in Kings Beach with a special mapping feedback exercise This week in Placer County history On October 27, 1947, the Placer County Centennial Committee accepted the offer from the 20th Agricultural District to house what would later become the Placer County Museum in the mining building in the fairgrounds. The Placer County Centennial Committee’s purpose was to recognize and celebrate the three significant centennials of California history: the centennial of gold discovery in 1948; the Gold Rush in 1949; and California statehood in 1950. Opening a museum to interpret these milestones and to reflect on our history was an important first step. According to the October 30, 1947, Auburn Journal: “The museum will be open to the public, free of charge, as soon as the exhibit material can be collected and placed in glass show cases and other suitable positions.” This was the moment the Placer County Museum was born. It would eventually grow into a system of eight museums and an Archives and Research Center by 2022. Though the museum is no longer located in the mining building in the Gold Country Fairgrounds, that location will forever be tied to the history of the Placer County Museums. For more information about our eight museums, the Archives and Research Center and our education programs, please visit our website at www.placer.ca.gov/museums.
