One way to get involved is to attend Placer SPCA’s volunteer orientation on August 2, beginning at 10 a.m. A $25 individual fee includes a t-shirt, nametag and training materials. Call 916-782-7722 for more information…
It’s August, and that means the countdown to summer’s end has begun...time to make the most of those long summer days and nights! Kids can save a dollar and the environment as they get out and about before hitting the books – students in elementary, junior, and high school can do their part to “spare the air” by purchasing a $10 bus pass that allows unlimited rides through the end of the month on Roseville Transit, Auburn Transit, Lincoln Transit and Placer County Transit. Check out the GreenScene on page 41 for details...
It looks like there will be some new faces in the classroom this school year – the Rocklin Chamber of Commerce will welcome more than 75 new teachers to the district with a special luncheon on August 11…

Eppie’s Great Race, the long-running (this year’s race marks the 35th anniversary!) fundraiser organized by regional restaurateur Eppie Johnson, raised more than $48,000 to benefit programs for the Sacramento County Therapeutic Recreation services, which supports people with mental and physical disabilities. This was no ordinary donation, however – The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors received the cash in a Deal or No Deal-inspired presentation, complete with a Howie Mandel costume and briefcase models from sponsor California Family Fitness…
Restaurateur Bruce Johnson formed a partnership with his uncle Eppie to re-open the new Horseshoe Bar Grill of Loomis, a well-loved local restaurant.
