Hey, friends! It's Monday in Roseville and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on all the most important things happening locally.

Let us remember all our heroes in uniform who made ultimate sacrifices to defend our country from the enemies on this special day. Wishing you a warm and Happy Memorial Day.

First, today's weather:

Windy with plenty of sunshine. High: 78 Low: 51.

Here are the top five stories in Roseville today:

4. For those of you who love the beautiful outdoor natural playground that Placer County offers, you'll love this story. According to a Placer County press release "the Placer County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the first-ever countywide Placer County Parks and Trails Master Plan, which could double the amount of recreation acreage by 2040 and triple the amount of trail miles." The final plan reflects community input provided over a two-year planning process. Learn more about the Placer County Parks and Trails Master Plan online at http://www.placerparksplan.com.

5. There is a stone memorial in Rusch Park in Citrus Heights, with a bronze plaque bearing the names of 272 Citrus Heights residents. The names honor residents who either died or served in World War II, but it wasn’t originally placed in Rusch Park. Theodore C. Mitchell, believed to be Citrus Heights' longest living resident is named on the memorial. Read more about the history of this stone structure and the significance to the city in this article from Citrus Heights Sentinel. (Citrus Heights Sentinel)

From my notebook:

• Alzheimer’s is a leading cause of death in Placer County, where the population is older on average compared to the state as a whole. The “Know Where Alzheimer’s Hides” campaign is a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, a nationwide nonprofit organization. The campaign and its dedicated website are aimed at educating the public on the warning signs of Alzheimer's and raising awareness of the importance of healthy brain habits, early detection and diagnosis. Learn more about it at this Placer County link.

• It's coming up on fire season and our notoriously HOT summer which can sometimes result in medical emergencies if you aren't vigilant.

They recommend three steps: Get a Kit, Make a Plan, Stay Informed. (roseville.ca.us)
