Here are the top stories in Roseville today:

1. Roseville Police posted the latest 911 Newsletter. In it, you can learn how to keep yourself safe from scams and how to start a neighborhood watch, among other things. Check it out at this link from the city.
2. When Folsom Dam was built in the '50s, several cemeteries were submerged under the water. Authorities moved the remains in those cemeteries and created Mormon Island Cemetery in El Dorado Hills. "The cemetery was built in 1954 by the Army Corps of Engineers and is one of the largest cemeteries in El Dorado County at approximately 5 acres." About half that acreage is being held for future relocations, as needed. (KTXL FOX 40 Sacramento)
3. Auburn can claim a shining star — with a Michelin star. Localis Restaurant in Sacramento is the newest recipient of a Michelin star in the city. Head chef and owner Chris Barnum-Dann hails from Auburn and graduated from Placer High School. “There are only 2,089 restaurants on earth with Michelin stars so it is a very, very serious honor,” Barnum-Dann said. Previously, Chris owned and ran Cibo 7 in Roseville. He's also a partner in a restaurant scheduled to open in Auburn called Kindred. (Gold Country Media)
4. Placer County Animal Services has an angel and Buddy Magoo has a legacy. Buddy Magoo was a terrier who needed a foster home because the shelter where he was staying made him anxious. Enter Donna McCusker. She not only fostered Buddy Magoo, she fell in love with him and adopted him. Now, Donna and her husband are generous donors to the Placer County Animal Services, helping other dogs like Buddy Magoo live their best lives. (placer.ca.us)
5. Check out the South Fork of the American River after the New Year's Eve rainfall! It's a raging flume! Authorities are warning people not to go into the waters when they are running this fast and this high. With videos like this, you don't have to tell me twice! (KTXL FOX 40 Sacramento)

From my notebook:

• New Year's Eve was wet and wild, but the storms aren't over yet! With the ground saturated, there's even more risk of flooding and water damage. This is a reminder that the city of Roseville has a comprehensive website that has all of the disaster relief information at your fingertips. Plan ahead and be prepared! (roseville.ca.us)
• The Foresthill Bridge was the second highest bridge in the world when it was built. It's still third-highest in the country and the highest in California. Learn the story of why the bridge was built, and why it needed to be so high, in this article from FOX40.
