🌱Placer County Needs Your Input + Hacking Earth & Space in Folsom

Hi all. It's me, Jeri Karges, your host of the Daily. Here's all the local news you need to know right now, including:

• You can now file a police report online from the comfort of your own home. Find out how!
• The Foresthill Wildfires were back on the gridiron for the first time since the Mosquito Fire nearly burned down their school. How did they do? Heck, just by getting out there they did great!
• Steer clear of Washington Blvd today if you can. Road work is gonna make it a mess.

But first, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 86 Low: 56.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Roseville who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Roseville Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Roseville:

1. Did you know that the Roseville Police Department offers the opportunity to file a police report online? You can file a lost property report or a crime report easily and conveniently from your own home. However, if you prefer to talk directly to an officer, they will still gladly come to your house to take the report. (Roseville Today)
2. This one is a bit of a tear jerker. The (aptly named) Foresthill Wildfires were back on the gridiron on Friday night for the first time since the Mosquito Fire came within yards of burning down their campus. They haven't practiced in three weeks, because they were busy evacuating and worrying about their homes and friends, but through grit and determination, they played a "pretty gosh-darn good football game," according to their coach, Mark Tumminelli. Unfortunately a win on the field was not in the cards for the team on Friday, but getting back on the field and giving it their all after what they had been through was a win for everybody.

3. From the County of Placer: "The Placer County Health and Human Services Department - Public Health Division is working towards gaining a deeper understanding of the issues important to those who live, work, learn, shop, or play in Placer County. Your input is important and will be used to develop plans and programs to improve the quality of life in Placer County. All information provided is anonymous and will be kept confidential."

4. The Roseville Police Department has published the latest edition of their Public Safety Newsletter.

5. You're not too late to catch the second day of NASA's International Space Apps Challenge event being held in Folsom!
