Introduction In May 1992, Teachers Management Investment Corporation requested that the Nevada County Historical Landmarks Commission attempt to identify and research the historically significant points of interest located on the Lorna Rica Ranch. NCHLC conducted searches of county records, newspapers, Nevada County Historical Society Bulletins from 1948 to the present, reviewed pertinent literature and histories, searched the Empire Mine files and conducted interviews of citizens in attempts to determine the historical points of interest on Lorna Rica Ranch. Additionally, field surveys were conducted by members of the NCHLC to better understand the various facets of the potential sites located on Lorna Rica Ranch. This enables the NCHLC to develop a clearer understanding of what could be considered historically significant to the citizens of Nevada County. The research uncovered five historically significant tangible sites. The sections under investigation are: (1) two prehistoric Southern Maidu sites; (2) remnants of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad beds; (3) remains of the Idaho Maryland mine operations; (4) the Lorna Rica Ranch Thoroughbred operations; and (5) the MacBoyle reservoir which includes the purported World's Fair Fountain. The individual, Errol MacBoyle is an historically significant individual that by all rights should be included in the historically significant list of the Lorna Rica Ranch.

  • San Francisco Examiner September 22, 1889
    The Archive of American Journalism Ambrose Bierce Collection San Francisco Examiner September 22, 1889 Prattle A Record of Individual Opinion It is stated that the furniture for the new cruiser Charleston “would grace a palace.” Mention is made of “magnificent sideboards with elaborate carvings and panels and fine mirrors,” “great heavy mahogany tables and desks of elaborate design and finish, and upholstered chairs by the score.” The cabins and staterooms, it is added, have sides “composed of panels of polished sycamore and teak, each of which is a gem of the cabinet-maker’s art.” It is to be hoped that the officers and sailors of the Charleston will harmonize with the beautiful environment. An Admiral out of keeping with the elaborate carvings, a midshipman who should not match the panels of polished sycamore, or an able seaman unable to subdue his complexion to the exact shade of the mahogany tables, would precipitate a grave artistic disaster-at-sea. If the vessel’s gunpowder is suitably perfumed with attar-of-roses, her guns gold-lated and operated by crews in silk attire, captained by Professors of Deportment, the national honor may be considered safe until there shall be a war. If our “new Navy” had no graver virtues, no more perilous perfections than gorgeous furniture, it would be well for us; but )in my humble judgment) we have not, and are not likely soon to have, a single war vessel that is worth the cost of its rudder. Our safety is to be found in the fact that the war vessels of other nations are no better.

  • The San Francisco Bay Area, California
    The San Francisco Bay Area, Can disaster be a good thing for the arts? In the California San Francisco Bay Area, the answer is a qualified “yes.” A terrible earthquake has shaken loose mil- lions of dollars for the arts, while urban sprawl has boosted the development of arts centers right in the communities where people live. After the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989, many key institutions were declared unsafe and had to be closed, fixed and primped. Here’s what reopened in the past five years alone: American Conservatory Theatre (ACT), the city’s major repertory theater, for $27 million; the War Memorial Opera House, home of the San Francisco Opera and Ballet, for $88 million; and on the fine arts front, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, for $40 million; and the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at Stanford University, for $37 million. Another $130 million is being raised to rebuild the seismically crippled M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, and at least $30 million is being sought to repair the Berkeley Art Museum. Within San Francisco itself, a vital visual arts center has been forged just within the last five years with the opening of the new $62 million San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Meanwhile the Jewish Museum, the Asian Art Museum, the Mexican Museum and a new African-American cultural center all plan to move to seismically safe buildings in the area in the next two years. Art galleries, on the other hand, limp along compared with those in Los Angeles or New York.

  • The Orkustra
    THE ORKUSTRA This day-by-day diary of The Orkustra's live, studio, broadcasting and private activities is the result of two decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: Jaime Leopold (RIP), Bobby Beausoleil, David LaFlamme, Henry Rasof, Nathan Zakheim, Stephen Hannah, Jesse Barish, Steve LaRosa, Rod Harper (RIP), Colin Hill, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, William Hjortsberg, Aldo Pedron, Klemen Breznikar, Reg E.

September 1966 Undoubtedly the most experimental and ecletically diverse band of the so-called 'San Francisco Sound', The Orkustra were put together by the infamous Bobby Beausoleil. A larger than life character with a mixed reputation ("He was like Bugs Bunny," says Orkustra's bandmate Nathan Zakheim. "Very in your face, enthuastic."), Robert Kenneth Beausoleil, aka 'Cupid', aka 'Bummer Bob', aka 'Bobby Snofox', was born on Thursday, November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California. After dropping out of high school and let his hair grow out, Bobby moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune in 1965. There, over the summer, he played a six-string rhythm guitar with The Grass Roots, a folk- rock band later known as LOVE, for only three weeks, and also made a cameo appearance (as 'Cupid') in the famous underground documentary movie Mondo Hollywood.

    July 17, 2020 Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors San Francisco City Hall 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place San Francisco, CA 94102 Re: Hotel cleaning standards Dear Mayor Breed & Supervisors: Along with my colleagues below, I write regarding the recently-passed Healthy Buildings Ordinance, which you are now considering adopting as a permanent standard for San Francisco hotels. During the passage of the initial ordinance, we heard numerous hotel representatives challenge the safety of daily room cleaning during the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to share our considered opinions on the subject. Hotel companies have stated that daily cleaning of guest rooms is unsafe In an opinion published in the San Francisco Examiner, Thomas J. Baltimore, chairman and CEO of Park Hotels & Resorts Inc., stated “by prioritizing daily cleaning of all guest rooms, there is a blatant disregard for the personal safety of housekeepers and guests”.i Similar statements were made during public testimony to the Board, including by the California Hotel & Lodging Association, the San Francisco Hotel Council, and numerous hotel companies.ii We are concerned that these statements misrepresent the scientific understanding of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. We are also concerned that these statements may induce hotel guests, workers, and operators alike to take measures that are ill-advised during this pandemic. Almost all public health guidance has recommended more frequent and more thorough cleaning of surfaces. Daily cleaning of hotel rooms, with an opt-out for customers who want to, was the norm prior to COVID-19 and we do not believe that should change.
