In it, he brings together eyewitness accounts, government documents and selections of historical fiction. Noy's previous works also covered the history of the region, including Sierra Stories: Tales of Dreamers, Schemers, Bigots and Rogues, which received the National Gold Medal for Best Regional Nonfiction at the Next Generation Indie Book Awards in 2016.

4. Roseville Police is asking for your help, after several incidents of youths loitering in parking lots after school and acting in troubling or menacing fashion. At least one incident resulted in the arrest of a juvenile for allegedly brandishing a weapon. The RPD wants "parents to know what their students are doing after school, and who they hang out with," and suggests activities with "more structure and supervision after school." The Boys and Girls Club and the Roseville Police Activities League (www.rosevillepal.com) have after-school programs that the police suggest.

5. Our next-door neighbor, Rocklin, has some robust growth plans. College Park will be "a proposed private sector development featuring parks, open space and trails surrounded by residential and mixed-use villages, retail, office, medical, institutional, and residential uses." The city planning commission will hold a public meeting on November 15 to discuss the project and review the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The public is invited to attend. (rocklin.ca.us)
