Benjamin Cunha, a convicted arsonist and former firefighter accused of using and possessing unlawful destructive devices or explosives, pleaded not guilty to charges during his arraignment Wednesday afternoon. Overseeing the arraignment was Judge Thomas A. Smith in El Dorado County Superior Court Department 1 in downtown Placerville, who determined Cunha, 41, will have a “no bail” hold. “The defendant does have a prior arson felony conviction out of this court,” Smith said while determining the bail. “The complaint (cites) numerous serious felonies that have a lengthy term of imprisonment if convicted of these charges ... up to 640 months.” Smith set Cunha’s pre-preliminary trial for ■ See CUNHA, page A7

Lawsuit alleges man died in jail untreated for meth withdrawal Odin Rasco Staff writer
El Dorado County and the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office are facing a lawsuit alleging they are responsible for the death of a former county resident who exhibited symptoms of methamphetamine withdrawal while in custody. Jonathan Madrigal was 31 years old when he died in a holding cell in the El Dorado County Jail Oct. 21, 2022, according to the complaint filed in a Sacramento federal court. The suit is filed by the Estate of Jonathan Madrigal and Luis and Carmen Madrigal, Jonathan’s parents. The plaintiffs claim jail staff knew Jonathan was suffering from withdrawal and overdose while in custody, but failed to provide necessary medical care such as adequate treatment or transportation to an outside facility. The legal complaint claims Jonathan ingested methamphetamine prior to driving a vehicle with his brother as passenger in El Dorado Hills Oct. 18, 2022. While driving, the complaint states Jonathan took ill and his arms and legs started to shake uncontrollably; Madrigal pulled the ■ See LAWSUIT, page A7

Escrow has closed on the El Dorado Hills Community Services District’s purchase of 55 acres of the old Executive Golf Course
and the donation of 11 acres abutting the archery range along El Dorado Hills Boulevard, extending toward Wilson Boulevard. The EDHCSD made the announcement Jan. 12. The board earlier decided it will use cash on hand for the initial $10 million purchase of land and plans to explore local funding options, including a publicly funded bond measure, for acquisition of “option property.” The remaining golf course property on the south side of Serrano Parkway closest to Highway 50 covers 41.5 acres and comes with a $9.96 million price tag ($240,000 per acre). The approved purchase agreement affords the CSD and community 18 months to obtain
funding/financing for the second purchase now that escrow has closed on the first. “Getting to this point would not have been possible without the strong outpouring of support from the El Dorado Hills community,” states a news release posted by the CSD. “To our community members and partners, whether you have been supporting this effort for months or years, thank you for your collaboration and perseverance,” the message continues. “This is a huge milestone achieved by the community. We look forward to engaging with the community on acquiring the remaining acreage of the old Executive Golf
Course and envisioning the future of this parkland.” After years of negotiations, public meetings and plan revisions, the EDHCSD announced a deal with Serrano Associates LLC at the Nov. 20, 2023, board of directors meeting. The purchase also includes language solidifying in-perpetuity current zoning and use of the old Executive Golf Course property that is not purchased, meaning Parker Development can no longer pursue a residential project on the property, which was initially part of its Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan.

A new addition to California’s list of gun safety laws has been temporarily halted as courts consider if the state Legislature has overstepped protections set out by the Second Amendment. Senate Bill 2, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September and set to go into effect Jan. 1 of this year, alters the licensing system for concealed carry weapons permits in a number of ways, including: • The minimum age to apply for a CCW permit has been raised to 21. • Applicants will have to be recorded by the Department of Justice as the owner of the pistol or other firearm they intend to conceal on their person. • The training requirement, previously set to be no more than 16 hours in length, has been changed to be a minimum of 16 hours and will cover additional subjects, including safe storage and legal transportation of firearms. • If an applicant’s new license or renewal is revoked, the licensing authority will be required to give notice. Additionally, if the application is denied based on the determination the applicant is a “disqualified person,” they will be permitted to request a hearing to challenge the denial or revocation.

Janice Hartman
Jan. 1, 1935 - Jan. 6, 2024
A woman who loved her Lord with all her heart, Janice Hamilton Hartman, age 89, of Cameron Park, California passed away peacefully at home on January 6, 2024. Jan was born in the town of Nassawaddox, Accomac County, VA on New Year’s Day of 1935 to Edmond & Margaret (Smith) Hamilton and married Harvey Andrew Hartman on August 18, 1954 in Pacific Palisades, CA. Jan proudly served as a U.S. Army wife for 13 years. She kept the family organized as they moved to each station. Once settled in San Jose, Jan worked for various companies: as one of Koskot Cosmetics as one of their top sales persons, as secretary for the Director of Boys Brigade, and last for the city of San Jose Fire Department where she started out as clerical in 1976 and retired in 2000 as Secretary to the Fire Training Chief. During this time Jan was awarded an honorary Fire Department badge. Following her retirement, Jan and Harvey moved to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada to be nearer their two daughters and favorite nieces. She and Harvey said goodbye to their dear friends at the First Baptist Church of San Jose and Calvary Church of Los Gatos and joined Church of the Foothills to form new friendships to cherish. Jan loved people and enjoyed many hobbies. In her earlier years, she enjoyed leading or assisting in Good News Clubs, Sunday Schools, and church youth groups; camping with family and friends; and assisting the elderly. She also walked daily until the week of her 89th birthday, alone or with Harvey or with any visitors present when the fresh air called. Most of all, Jan loved to sew! She began with clothing for herself and her family then expanded to household linens and quilts. Jan joined the Dorcas Quilters group and created the embroidered “made by and made for” labels for hundreds of quilts while continuing her work on several personal sewing projects as well as quilts for orphans and needy families. When declining health ended her sewing vocation, Jan took up jigsaw puzzles, having one always in progress; her final jigsaw puzzle was lovingly finished by her daughters after Jan went to be with her Lord. Jan was preceded in death by her beloved son, Richard Hartman who succumbed to pancreatic cancer on January 2, 2024 and her dearly loved daughters-in-law, Holly Hogan Hartman and Ingrid Summerfield Hartman, who both passed away of cancers in 2022. Jan is survived by Harvey, her husband of 69.5 years; son Ronald Hartman; daughters Robin Scheil, Ruth Hartman, and Megan Ky; grandchildren Andrew and Austin Hartman; James, Joseph, Joshua, and Jeremiah Scheil; and James and Jasmine Ky; granddaughters-in-law, Andrea Hartman, Keyla Scheil, and Aly Scheil; and great-grandchildren, Leo and Holly Anne Hartman. Jan will always be remembered for her organizational skills, creativity, desire to teach children God’s Love and Word, and the time that she devoted to others. Many will imagine hearing her say “Let’s go for a walk!” one more time. Jan’s memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her. Janice Hartman’s long, joy-filled life will be celebrated with family and friends on Sunday, February 18, beginning at 4 p.m. at the Foothills Church in Cameron Park. Donations to the local Child Evangelism/Released Time in lieu of flowers would be greatly appreciated.

How state’s vital twin ports could become uncompetitive in global trade

SUMMARY
■ See WALTERS, page A5
Letters to the Editor A changed country EDITOR: or most of my life I’ve lived by two idioms: to always keep your guard up and to never lose your edge. And people that have known me for a long time will agree that they best describe how I go about life — both with business and my personal relationships. I knew that the fuel that drove me was fear and failure. I had a vision to give my family everything I didn’t have while I was growing up. And if you asked my children, they’d tell you they had a fantastic childhood. There were downfalls regarding my view on life. For example, I tended to rub people the wrong way. Very high energy was many times mistaken to be angry or narcissistic. You either loved me or hated me. People used to tell me I’m insensitive and need to tone it down and that I should lighten up because people have other outlooks on life. I have changed. I’m not scared anymore. In fact, I’ve taken up a different axiom to live by. It was given to me by my brother on his death bed when I asked him what we’re going to do next. He said to me, let’s see where this goes. Conservatives have dropped our guard and lost our edge. The left has completely changed our country. They have weaponized racism, sex and totalitarianism. The right is not the arbiter of right and wrong. Conservatives no longer run this country. And I can see a time when we will be punished for defending God, family and the Constitution. All I have to say now is let’s see where this goes. KEN STEERS Cameron Park

promoting the left’s view of people of faith that Obama clearly stated in just a few words when he basically characterized people of faith as Neanderthals that “cling to God and guns.” Mr. Taylor says Trump supports revenge. How can one support that? Funny coming from a supporter of the party that has used the Justice Department and other agencies to exact just that on conservatives. A good example is they tried to get Trump for supposedly suggesting that some Mar-a-Lago tapes be erased while ignoring Hillary’s actual physical destruction of subpoenaed evidence. So, Mr. Taylor, spare me your angst on revenge. Once you get past Mr. Taylor’s attack on Christianity, he asks why someone would support Trump. Let’s see, under 2% inflation, lower fuel prices, Biden’s sticker shock at the grocery store where prices are up 20% not counting the hidden inflation of smaller packages. Trump’s efforts at border security hampered by the Democrats at every turn got the numbers under 100,000 in his last years. Meanwhile Biden’s open borders that were done for political advantage have let in numbers greater than the population of more than 25 states. People don’t need your letter or mine to give them a reason to oppose Biden; they get that every time they check out at the supermarket or stand next to a gas pump. GEORGE ALGER Placerville
Why Trump? EDITOR: see Scott Taylor wrote a letter where he promotes the usual left-wing attack on people of faith. He wasted entire paragraphs

If they were honest and brave, they would proclaim themselves armed and well prepared to be the good guys with guns and “bring on the rabid whackos, supremacists and proud bozos.” However, it seems that Old West bravado is missing in most of them. If they were honest and brave, they would proclaim themselves armed and well prepared to be the good guys with guns and “bring on the rabid whackos, supremacists and proud bozos.” They would stand tall and defiant with their 9mm or their .45 or their AR-15 and say out loud, “We don’t like Donald Trump and we don’t want him to be president again, and let the devil take the hindmost.” As long as they are not among that latter tribe, obviously. A quick Google search turns up a few not-senators (not yet anyway) but House Representatives who send Christmas cards showing their whole family posing with semi-automatic rifles and assorted gear. The youngest kid in any of several photos I saw looks to be 7 or 8, grinning in front of a full-size and gaily decorated Christmas tree. I’m guessing that one or more elected official has a gun or several guns in the house but doesn’t anchor their holiday card with that theme, unlike Tennessee’s representatives

Andy Ogles and Thomas Massie. Colorado’s own Lauren Boebert and gun-totin’ clan got a lot of attention for one of her recent festive posts. I can’t put those three in the chicken s**t coop of “in-private” but not public Trump deniers and truthtellers, because Avlon didn’t mention them by name. He didn’t identify any of the C.S. folks as congressmen or women either. Nor can I. Just a thought though, maybe Massie, Ogles or Boebert would consider loaning two or three of their more stalwart Second Amendment brood (or more guns) to guard those wusses who are so afraid of the MAGA or MAGA-like people Avlon is obviously talking about. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t take their dilemma 100% lightly. If I were them, and in their shoes, I’d probably be scared spitless. But I’d sure as hell like to think if I had such a position of trust and responsibility, I could man up when the occasion demanded it. And if their fear really is legit and warranted, I’d damn sure say this situation warrants it. Chris Daley is a biweekly columnist for the Mountain Democrat.

other reason, the applicant will be able to seek a writ of mandate from a superior court within 30 days of notice of the denial or revocation. • Additional information will be collected when the license is filed. Previous law required the issuing agency to collect name, occupation and reason for desiring a license. Now, driver’s license or identification number, fingerprints and information related to the expiration of the license will be required, though the applicant will no longer be required to list their reason for requesting the license. In addition to the changes listed above, one section of SB2 led to its almost-immediate challenge by a federal judge. The new law expands limitations on places a person cannot carry a weapon. Previous carve-out exemptions for CCW permit holders were also set to be removed, in effect designating a variety of public spaces where one could not carry a weapon, even if unloaded. Courtrooms, places of worship, zoos, libraries, amusement parks and any building, property or parking area under the control of an airport or other transit passenger terminal, among others, would become prohibited spaces. Because prior legislation exists that placed some limitations on possession of a weapon in such spaces, the language of the bill explains the changes are an expansion of a prior definition of a crime, rather than the creation of a new one. Though much of the bill has gone into effect, the part of the law regarding the new limitations on weapons in public spaces has seen a back-and-forth in court decisions that hold the state back from enactment. The challenge to the law began with a Dec. 20 ruling by U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney, who said the

Continued from A1 law violated the Second Amendment. The block on the law was subject to a temporary hold issued by a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that allowed the law to go into effect Jan. 1 as intended. The temporary hold proved more temporary than expected, however, when a different 9th Circuit panel dissolved the hold, effectively putting Carney’s original block back into place. The governor’s office expressed disapproval of the decision in a statement shared by Deputy Press Secretary Daniel Villaseñor. “This dangerous decision puts the lives of Californians on the line,” the statement reads. “We won’t stop working to defend our decades of progress on gun safety in our state.” A recent press release from the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office states Sheriff Jeff Leikauf and officers are working to stay aware of the status of the new law as it is considered by the court. “Sheriff Jeff Leikauf and the El Dorado County Sheriff ’s Office are actively monitoring the legislative process surrounding SB2, the law regarding concealed carry weapons permits,” the press release states. “Sheriff Leikauf promotes responsible gun ownership, as granted by the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. We are aware of the current legislative stay, regarding the ‘sensitive places’ as listed in SB2. A stay is commonly issued by a court to stop litigation from continuing, sometimes for further legal analysis. As this legal matter matures, the Sheriff ’s Office will continue to update the community.” Further arguments on the status of the law are expected to be heard in court in April.

in sexual acts with a child younger than 10. When arraigned shortly after his arrest Slager pleaded not guilty to all charges. According to sheriff ’s officials, the identified victims were not enrolled in the Camino Union Elementary School District. El Dorado Sheriff ’s Office Sgt. Brian Harris was the sole witness brought to testify in the pretrial. Other witnesses were excluded from proceedings, with prosecutors expecting the case would be brought to trial and wanting to minimize the number of times victims would be called on to recount alleged traumatizing events. Harris testified an EDSO patrol took the initial report from a resident of the Spirit Lane neighborhood where Slager lived. The report was made by the parent of a child who was close friends with one of the alleged victims; she was made aware of the situation when her daughter said she had been keeping a secret about her friend for more than a year. The victim, identified as J. Doe, was contacted by investigators shortly afterward and brought to the Fausel House Child Advocacy Center for a forensic interview conducted by a DA investigator; Harris observed the interview from a remote location. Doe, who was 10 at the time of the investigation, took breaks during the interview and was initially hesitant to recount details to the investigator, saying she had “pinky promised to not tell.” Living in what Harris described as a close-knit community, Doe said she would occasionally spend time in Slager’s home to be babysat, watch television with her brother or watch Slager’s son play video games. Doe recounted two instances of alleged molestation involving oral copulation and anal penetration; one occasion is said to have taken place prior to July 2020, while another took place after July 2020, according to Harris’ testimony. At the time, Doe would have been 7 or 8 years old, Harris said. The July 2020 timing was considered notable by prosecutors; Harris explained in questioning that Slager’s wife died that month. During the interview Doe also drew a diagram of the layout of Slager’s house from memory and mentioned
specific elements of the house, which Harris said bore notable similarity to the residence’s layout when seen by investigators. One detail described by Doe and found by investigators was a candy jar, which Doe said she was given candy out of after a sexual act had occurred, Smith said. When asked why she would return to Slager’s after the first instance of molestation, Doe told investigators she sometimes wanted more candy. Investigators determined Doe had confided in two friends; parents of those two friends were eventually the first to contact law enforcement regarding Slager. The second parent to reach out was Slager’s niece, initials K.R., who told investigators he had molested her when she was a child in the ‘90s but she had not reported it before as she believed the statute of limitations had passed. K.R. described to investigators a number of events that she claimed occurred in Los Angeles County when she was 11 or 12 years old. In one case, she said Slager had lifted her onto her lap and rubbed her clothed groin against his genitals, which were exposed out the front of his pants. Harris recounted her claims on the stand, saying K.R. had heard him then say, “I can’t be the one to do this to you” before he stopped the action and walked away. Harris additionally said during questioning that K.R. claimed she had at one time been made to masturbate Slager. During cross-examination by defense counsel, Harris confirmed one of Doe’s friends said she lied a lot, but added, “B ut she wouldn’t lie about something like this.” Slager will return to El Dorado Superior Court Department 2 at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 29 for an arraignment on the information. If he does not change his plea, a trial date will be scheduled at that time. Slager’s attorney attempted to revisit the option for bail for his client, but visiting Judge Thomas A. Smith declined to hear the matter, as he was unfamiliar with the prior discussions on the matter; the discussion is expected to be revisited during Slager’s next court appearance. Slager has been in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville since his arrest.

Jonathan is said to have had a history of disability including mental and physical conditions that substantially impaired activities including caring for himself, walking, concentrating, communicating and working. Jonathan suffered from Charcot-Marie-Tooth and Friedreich Ataxia diseases, which are said to have limited his physical motor abilities and muscle control. Additionally, Jonathan had a history of substance dependency issues. The complaint states EDSO had a documented history of Jonathan’s disabilities and substance use history, and on a previous occasion transferred to him an outside medical facility for care and treatment. The plaintiffs, represented by Mark Merin and Paul Masuhara, seek monetary relief, interest and a trial by jury. A response to the complaint has not yet been received, though is expected to be forthcoming. As litigation is ongoing, county and EDSO representatives declined to provide comment.

and arrested Cunha Jan. 12. Officials have not shared where Cunha was taken into custody but they noted it was not in El Dorado County. Inmate records at the county jail show his arrest location as East Washington Street at Ellis Street but no city is listed. In 2007 Cunha started the 80-acre Mine Fire, which burned on federal land. The former Cal Fire firefighter and Diamond Springs Fire Protection District volunteer was sentenced to five years in prison in 2016 for starting that fire. As part of a plea agreement, he admitted to starting the Mine Fire in exchange for the U.S. Attorney’s Office dropping charges against him relating to two other fires started in 2013 in the El Dorado/ Amador County area. Before that sentence Cunha was convicted in 2008 and sentenced to 365 days in prison, for setting at least 30 other fires in El Dorado and Amador counties between 2005 and 2007, according to past reporting by wildfiretoday.com. Cunha admitted to setting many of the fires using a timedelay incendiary device.

Searching Jonathan’s vehicle and finding drug paraphernalia, Jonathan and his brother were arrested and booked into jail shortly after midnight Oct. 19. Intake screening documentation shows medical staff identified Jonathan as appearing to be under the influence of drugs and flagged him as actively going through withdrawal. Jonathan’s condition is said to have worsened, including complaints of vomiting or diarrhea, but he was not transported to a medical facility. At 3 a.m. Oct. 21, Jonathan was seen vomiting in his cell; he was moved to a holding cell and observed one final time before being found unresponsive and with no pulse at around 8:49 a.m., according to the complaint. Efforts were made to resuscitate Jonathan, including the use of CPR, Narcan and use of an automated external defibrillator, but paramedics pronounced him dead at approximately 9:10 a.m.

HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis n TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re not trying to be tricky, but you also don’t feel the need to give people everything they want. You’re mysterious. You reserve some things just for you. And what you leave out makes people lean in with their imaginations and heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It may seem harmless to check who is wearing what, living where or dating whom, but this is a day when it’s best to keep your eyes on your own page. Avoiding comparison allows you to flow all of your energy to the aims and purposes you hold dear. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Since much that contributes to your mood is out of your control, it’s so important to take charge of the elements within your influence. You’ll make things simple, lovely and well-lit. You’ll go where the emotional sunshine is beaming. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Without realizing it, you pose a challenge to someone who will not give up trying to reach and win you. It will take them a while, considering you’re a question without an answer, a mystery that will continue to elude, a ride with no conclusion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Those who’ve achieved greatness can’t always teach it. Seek a mentor with both experience and teaching ability. If you can’t find it in the same person, get two mentors, one who teaches well and one who’s lived the route. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your worldview is completely different from your neighbor’s, which you’ll get a rare window into today. It’s an honor to be let into the world of another, if only for a short time. You’ll go back to your own view with more wisdom and insight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). We don’t choose our feelings so
there’s no use in judging ourselves for having them. You’ll acknowledge a feeling without acting on it. You’ll accept what comes up and defuse the charge of an emotion, rendering it more manageable. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Harness the power of silence. Embrace the intervals between actions, thoughts and words — those are the moments where enchantment unfolds. Your comfort in silence honors the symphony of life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As you do what it takes to get your work audience-ready, it’s normal to wonder how you’ll be received. Work through doubt. Anticipate different responses. But let nothing keep you from forward movement. There are opportunities around the bend! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll do far more than was asked of you and not everyone will appreciate this, but you can ignore the ones who don’t. If everyone only did what was asked of them, modern life would not exist, as the world was built by people going beyond the call. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you understand a thing, your mind will file it, remember it or forget it. But when you don’t understand a thing, your brain will continue to turn the concepts, attempting to solve the puzzle. This is the magnetic power of mystery at work. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll marvel at talents that emerged naturally in you as you applied yourself to the work at hand. You’ll keep moving forward, growing as you make new attempts without assumptions around what you are capable of, since it’s usually much more than you would think.

n Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style News release
S
AN FRANCISCO — From bohemian styles to elegant evening wear, fashion is a form of personal expression for San Franciscans, inspired by the city’s location on the Pacific Rim and its inclusive mindset. Spanning a century of high fashion and haute couture worn by Bay Area women, the exhibition Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style at the de Young museum will examine the role of style as a marker of social identity. Drawn from the Fine Arts Museums’ exceptional costume holdings, Fashioning San Francisco will present the work of more than 50 fashion designers, from Balmain to Miyake, Valentino to McQueen, with the majority of ensembles to be displayed for the very first time. “The Fine Arts Museums’ costume collection is one of the strongest in the country, advanced over decades by generous gifts from Bay Area residents. Likewise, the museum is renowned for its vibrant and wide-ranging fashion exhibitions. As the city’s museum, we are now thrilled to present stunning selections from our costume collection in an exhibition that examines the city’s evolving style ethos,” states Thomas P. Campbell, director and CEO of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “Fashioning San Francisco is a rich presentation that asserts the case that San Francisco does, and has always, had style.” The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are home to one of the most significant collections of 20th- and 21st-century women’s costume in the United States, including exemplary gifts of high fashion and haute couture from Bay Area women philanthropists. Fashioning San Francisco — the first exhibition to share a richness of works from the costume collection in more than 35 years — will explore how women’s fashions have molded, and been molded by, the city of San Francisco. “Fashioning San Francisco situates the Museums’ remarkable high fashion and haute couture collections within the context of the city’s development and the ascension of Bay Area women as civic, social, cultural and sartorial leaders,” said Laura L. Camerlengo, curator in charge of Costume and Textile Arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. “These individuals further contributed to the cultural fiber of their communities by donating their wardrobes to the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco for the preservation and the benefit of future generations. We are delighted to honor and elevate their legacies.” Fashioning San Francisco commences in the early 20th century, a time when San Francisco is regaining its position and redefining itself in the wake of the city’s earthquake and fire in 1906. The city’s desire to assert its international status in the wake of disaster manifests in the dress codes of its prominent women. Such manifestations include imported French fashions brought into the city through its port, as well as

presentations of French couture gowns at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, French peoples formed one of the largest immigrant communities in San Francisco and, upon their arrival, they began importing French goods. The exhibition will feature a number of early French designs, including rare Callot Sœurs and Lucile gowns, which attest to San Francisco’s burgeoning affluence and cosmopolitanism. From here the exhibition continues chronologically to explore how the city’s geographic location further contributed to the blossoming of international trade in the city, including the rise of department stores as importers of European haute couture in the mid-20th century. San Francisco boasted a robust economy, fostering iconic department stores such as I. Magnin, City of Paris, The White House and Lilli Ann. These and others played a critical role in the development of San Franciscan style. Indeed, the allure of luxury runs deep in San Francisco’s style ethos, aligned with the city’s active social calendar, itself fueled by the city’s vibrant cultural sector. With these events offering fashion and civic leaders opportunities to dress their best, Fashioning San Francisco will feature gowns, cocktail dresses, and evening attire by European couturiers such as Pierre Balmain and Christian Dior — many once retailed by the city’s department stores and worn to major society events. The exhibition will also dedicate a section to the most indispensable piece in a wardrobe, “the little black dress,” featuring spectacular black dresses from Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfield, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino and more. San Franciscans have a long-standing history of being among the first to embrace the experimental in dress, both supporting and wearing designers
with a knack for the radical. Japanese designers such as Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto will be featured in a section that explores the avant-garde creatives redefined conventional fashion in the 20th and 21st centuries. Fashioning San Francisco will also explore the work of Western designers who have been inspired by the aesthetics of Asian, African and other international cultures to address cultural appropriation and its contemporary discourse. Fashioning San Francisco will honor San Francisco Bay Area women civic leaders, business owners and public influencers through the “power suits” they wore as they helped shape and build the city. Indicative of San Francisco, these suits embody the city’s specific climate, terrain and varied aesthetics, presenting San Francisco as a working city for confident women. The exhibition will conclude with a selection of shoes from the museums’ permanent collection, highlighting a mix of materials and styles that reflect the diverse roles and tastes of the San Franciscans who wore them. From fine leather craftsmanship to embellishments of bright colors and spangles, this section of the exhibition will assert that shoes are an important accessory in establishing their wearer’s sense of self. As traditional studies of fashion history have prioritized designers and narratives from the so-called “major” fashion cities of Paris, Milan, London and New York, Fashioning San Francisco challenges the conventional notions of what makes a “fashion city.”
culture. Snapchat augmented reality will give visitors the chance to see how three evening ensembles presented in the Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style exhibition look on them. This technology will immerse them in the creative vision of some of the world’s most iconic designers, as they virtually try on outfits by the late French designer Yves Saint Laurent, Chinese-American Bay Area-based designer Kaisik Wong and Italian designer Valentino. “Fashioning San Francisco chronicles the ways in which style in the Bay Area has evolved over generations. Thanks to Snap’s augmented reality mirrors our visitors will have the opportunity to visualize themselves as a part of this history and to imagine their role in charting the city’s next sartorial chapter,” Campbell noted. “This project showcases how Snapchat can support the arts by using augmented reality in innovative, impactful and stylish ways,” added Rajni Jacques, global head of Fashion & Beauty at Snap Inc. “Our partnership with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco is a testament to how augmented reality can infiltrate culture, encourage creativity and self expression, and bring historical couture to life like never before.” Snap’s AR Mirrors bridge the gap between the digital and physical, bringing together its AR technology stack designed specifically for physical screens to capture real-time images via a camera that projects onto the screen with AR.

Go on a railway adventure from the comfort of home News release The California State Railroad Museum in downtown Sacramento has many exciting exhibits on display. For those who prefer to explore from home, check out the museum’s digital exhibits, many of which were designed by university students. Rails to Redwoods: Environmental tourism got rolling thanks in large part to the railroads. One example is the North Pacific Coast Railroad, which traveled through Marin and Sonoma counties north of San Francisco from 1866 to 1930. This exhibit details the line and the redwoods that intrigued travelers. From Faraway Spectacle to National Park: One of the United States’ most famous natural wonders, the Grand Canyon, is a national park in no small part because of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which built a branch line from Williams, Ariz., right to the south rim of the canyon. Read about the canyon’s history as a landmark
and tourist destination, and how the Santa Fe made it happen. How the Railroad Changed the Circus: Back in the day, when the circus came to town, it came by train. While the mode of travel changed the circus, the circus in turn changed the country by bringing in ideas about the world. Read about how the railroad became the circus’ transportation
ringmaster in this exhibit. Painting a Legacy – The Search for Anna Judah: While Theodore Judah is well-known for his contributions to railroad history, the story of his wife, Anna Judah, has been sidelined by historians. Anna traveled with Theodore while he surveyed for the Transcontinental Railroad and

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 115988-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 115988-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

The Summary will be provided to Trustor(s) and/or vested owner(s) only, pursuant to CA Civil Code Section 2923.3(d)(2).) YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED November 7, 2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On February 28, 2024 at 10:00 AM, at the Main Street entrance to the County Courthouse at 495 Main Street, Placerville, CA 95667, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on November 9, 2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0076593-00, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of El Dorado County, California, executed by ROBERT A HAFFNER, A WIDOWER, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., as Beneficiary, as nominee for PROVIDENT FUNDING ASSOCIATES, L.P. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1961 E GREEN SPRINGS ROAD, RESCUE, CA 95672 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $688,508.23 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000573-23-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.
There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000573-23-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Districts such as the Assessment District are authorized to levy assessments subject to compliance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and California Constitution Article XIIID (commonly referred to as Proposition 218). An assessment differs from a tax in that a tax may be imposed without reference to peculiar benefits to particular individuals or property or without regard to whether the person or property subject to the tax received any particular benefit from the tax. An assessment, however, can be imposed only for a “special benefit” conferred on the real property assessed, and must be in proportion to, and not greater than, the special benefit conferred on the property assessed. Additionally, California Constitution Article XIIIC, Section 3, states, “Notwithstanding any other provision of this Constitution, including, but not limited to, Sections 8 and 9 of Article II, the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge.” The EDHCSD levies an annual assessment within the Assessment District for the purpose of providing funding for the installation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements located within the Assessment District. This initiative measure seeks to repeal that assessment and order a refund of any monies collected pursuant to that assessment. It further seeks to require that the EDHCSD obtain approval by vote “as prescribed by law” before levying any subsequent assessments within the Assessment District. 1/19 12703 NoTICE oF PUbLIC AUCTIoN Extra Space Storage, on behalf of itself or its affiliates, Life Storage or Storage Express, will hold a public auction to satisfy Extra Space’s lien, by selling personal property belonging to those individuals listed below at the location indicated.
