CANADA’S TARIFFS: Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on steel, dairy products, appliances and farm equipment, against the United States yesterday after relations deteriorated sharply Monday.

Dolly Parton, the country music icon whose soaring vibrato vocals, poignant songwriting and sparkling costumes defined her rise from a log cabin in the Tennessee mountains to the height of stardom and acclaim, has died in Nashville. She was 80 years old. “After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones,” her publicist, Marcel Pariseau, said in a statement yesterday. Known for her curvy physique, massive blond wigs and skin-tight outfits that served her self-deprecating wit, she was among the most beloved personalities in music and beyond — the rare celebrity whose appeal transcended generations, geography and politics. She wrote hundreds of songs, including classics like “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors” [See DOLLY, page 23]

Despite the policy violations, police officers have said Flock’s cameras have been an effective crime-fighting tool. Chief James Reifschneider said the city could take down Flock’s cameras as soon as council makes a decision. Lack of trust Councilman Ed Lauing said he doesn’t trust Flock’s CEO Garrett Langley. “Flock changed the capabilities of a surveillance system that the city entrusted to it, and the city didn’t know it was happening,” Councilwoman Julie Lythcott-Haims said. “I do not think it’s smart to continue operating that system.”

how this project may also impact schools. “If land is at a premium, and the schools are already built out, how does that process come together so we make sure we have enough schools for all the kids that we imagine in the future of Menlo Park?” Hedley said. Miller Heartstein, a Hillview Middle School student, asked during public comment if the developers considered how schools will be affected by the 670 new homes. Talk of possibly adding another Menlo Park City School District middle school circulated in 2021; however, there is no mention of this in the project’s master plan.

The fact that the Middlefield project will include work, food, retail and housing means there will be less need for residents to leave the site, which may lessen traffic, according to the project description.

Traffic concerns were also discussed in public comment; Peter Lezak spoke on behalf of the owners of offices at 525, 535 and 545 Middlefield Road about how an increase in traffic could make accessing their property difficult.

contract or pursuing financial damages. The next contract will allow the county to compel a company to deploy more ambulances. “We’re interested in performance,” Williams said. Williams said he eventually wants a public agency running the ambulances, whether it’s county fire or a collaboration of city fire departments. But he said the county isn’t ready to make that switch, and a larger company is most likely to win the contract. “We want to make sure that whoever is bidding on our system actually has the heft to fiscally and operationally deliver on the service,” Williams said. Jones said he’s worried that his city will lose its rights to operate its ambulance as a backup. The city would be required to sign a subcontract with the county’s new ambulance company, and he’s worried the company won’t negotiate in good faith. “I’m just not yet convinced how it will work in practice,” he said at yesterday’s meeting. Jones said he’s interested in having the city run all of the ambulances in Mountain View. “We believe we can provide great service,” he said. Next steps The county will submit a draft of its 120-page request for proposals to the California Emergency Medical Services Authority next month.

Art Exhibition Celebrates Seniors’ Creativity Residents of Palo Alto Commons senior living community currently have an exhibition of their art on display at Palo Alto Art Center and the public is invited to its closing reception on Aug. 30. The exhibition, which runs through Sept. 1, features artwork created throughout the artists’ lives and reveals their lifelong creativity, passion and personal stories. The closing reception will take place Sunday, Aug. 30, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Palo Alto Art Center at 1313 Newell Road. The reception will include refreshments, live music and an opportunity for residents, families and members of the community to come together to celebrate the artists. “It was so exciting to see my artwork displayed in such a beautiful gallery at the age of 90,” said Dorothy Torgerson. “I’m so proud and honored to be part of this exhibition.” Founded in 1990, Palo Alto Commons is passionate about creating opportunities for residents to remain active, engaged and connected. Just this year they took the Communities That Shine Award for Resident Empowerment from LifeLoop, an engagement, communication and wellness platform used by more than 4,700 senior living communities. Resident artists whose work is currently on display include: • Ann Pearce: photo print transfer on watercolor paper • Elaine Goldberg: knitted shawl & handmade jewelry • Janis Marti: sketching, oil on canvas • Ray Jadwin: photography • Lorraine Wilner: oil painting • Susan Tune: oil painting • Thelma Ackley: oil painting • Sharon Hamson: acrylics, watercolor art, woodwork art • Patricia Dentinger: watercolor • Dorothy Torgersen: handmade quilts • Millie & Henry Goltz: handmade quilts, textile art • Esther Baran: oil painting • Fran Adams: watercolor art • Helen Shing: Chinese ink and watercolor art • Marjorie Groshart: acrylics on canvas

“It was so much fun to see the incredible talents of our residents,” said Ray Jadwin. “What an amazing experience!” Textile artists Henry and Millie Goltz agreed. “The opportunity to see artwork created by so many of our fellow residents was truly special and impressive,” they said. “We were thrilled to see our own contributions featured during the tour recently organized by Palo Alto Commons.” Palo Alto Executive Director Li Li said, “Seeing the pride and happiness on our residents’ faces is the greatest measure of its success.” “At Palo Alto Commons, we believe growing older should never mean giving up the things that give life purpose and meaning,” she said. “Our role is to create opportunities for residents to continue expressing themselves, discovering new experiences, and sharing their talents with others. I am so proud of our resident

FOUR GENERATIONS OF OUR FAMILY SERVING YOURS

& Victims identified FAMILY-OWNED SERVING ALL FAITHS in 3 fatal crashes IN THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1934 FEATURING OUR OWN CREMATORY ON SITE

Coroners have identified a driver and two motorcyclists who died last week. Christopher Joel Jones, 59, of Palo Alto, drove his car into a wall on Oregon Expressway under Alma Street just after midnight on Aug. 17. He’s the second person to die at the location since December 2024. Pedro Armando Garcia Hernandez, 24, of Redwood City, was killed after his motorcycle hit a car turning left across El Camino Real into the Stanford Shopping Center around 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 19. The driver of the car stayed at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. Irma Elizabeth Oxlaj Vargas, 38, of

Redwood City, was killed around 6 a.m. on Aug. 20 after her motorcycle was hit in the transition lane from University Avenue to southbound Highway 101. Julian Adame Jr., 18, of Kingsburg in Fresno County, was arrested for felony hit-and-run and vehicle manslaughter after officers found his license plate on the road, the CHP said.

Mountain View police have arrested three teens suspected of beating up someone in June, police said. Officers were called to a fight at the IFES Society Hall at 432 Stierlin Road on June 20, police said Monday. Officers arrived and found a 26-yearold Turlock man suffering from an assault that caused him to lose consciousness. The victim said three suspects gave him several injuries, including lacerations and bruising, and his upper left eyelid was swollen.

Three East Palo Alto juveniles — two 15 years old and one 14 — were identified as suspects and arrested on suspicion of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury. The 14-yearold boy is also suspected of making criminal threats, police said. All three were taken into custody on Friday in Atherton due to an unrelated case, police said. On Monday, search warrants were executed at three addresses in East Palo Alto.

Fatigue blamed Adame Jr. fell asleep at the wheel after finishing an eight-hour shift at Amazon in San Francisco, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. Adame Jr. was released yesterday with a GPS tracking device and is due in court on Monday.

2 people die amid measles outbreak

Two unvaccinated Pennsylvania residents have died after being infected with measles, the first U.S. deaths this year related to the contagious virus. State health officials announced the deaths yesterday. They did not reveal any details about the people who died, other than that they lived in Lancaster County, west of Philadelphia. “Because measles was largely eliminated in the Commonwealth for more than three decades, people are not familiar with this disease and don’t fully understand the potential severity of the illness,” said state Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen. The U.S. has now seen five measles-associated deaths in the last two

years — more than the combined total of reported deaths over the previous three decades — and is enduring its worst year for measles since 1991. With 2,777 cases as of Thursday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this year already has surpassed 2025’s measles count. Measles-free status In November, international health officials will meet to determine if the U.S. and Mexico have lost their measles-free status. The U.S. eliminated local measles spread in 2000 by maintaining high vaccination rates, which have fallen in recent years to below the 95% rate needed to prevent outbreaks.

Gold: Your Best Insurance USA 1 - OZ.

Trade Wars and Currency Wars are accelerating worldwide. The old monetary system is failing. Indebted national currencies are depreciating in a see-saw race to the bottom. So much worldwide debt is in default or is being masked with more debt. Politicians posture at each other, but they all created the situation by buying power and favors while mortgaging your children’s future. Stocks and bond markets, long supported by Central Banks, may be challenged going forward as governments have exhausted their debt expansion tools. Recent new highs in equities, due to some promising companies, may be more post-election hope than substance. Cryptocurrencies had their run, but the hope for a sounder and more private fiat system remains challenged while a past price bubble for the majority has been costly. Bitcoin is an example of those still performing among the thousands of currencies & tokens in this young experiment. Wise and calm observers know that longterm, gold is money, not debt, not paper promises. For thousands of years it has protected families from currency depreciation, paper defaults, and certain political abuses. If you have been waiting to buy gold, or buy it “cheaper,” reconsider. Gold bottomed near $1040 at the end of 2015. We are in a new multi-year uptrend reconfirmed by the current strength just below all time highs. Monetary scientists understand that the repricing of gold is just getting started. Each crisis seems to become more pronounced as the debt monetary system disintegrates towards failure. Gold is best accumulated, not speculated. Start saving in gold, and make it a habit.

Come visit Mish International and find out what probabilities lie ahead for gold and related commodities. Learn why gold must be a necessary part of your assets. Since 1964, the wisest advice and best prices for gold & silver are right here in Menlo Park.

Target yanks ‘offensive’ costume after backlash Retailer Target has pulled a children’s Halloween costume from its shelves after widespread social media backlash, apologizing for selling a garment critics said evoked racist minstrel caricatures. Critics say the costume, along with its promotional image of a Black child modeling the get-up, is reminiscent of caricatures from Jim Crow-era minstrel shows that embedded stereotypes into popular culture and helped justify discrimination, segregation and racial violence.

It is the latest controversy for the retailer, which joined companies like Meta, Walmart, and McDonald’s in rolling back their diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts after President Trump won the 2024 election.

DEI rollback In January 2025, the Minneapolis-based corporation ended its three-year DEI program, stopping reports to external groups like the Human Rights Campaign, and ended a program focused on carrying more products from Black- or minority-owned businesses, replacing it with a new “Belonging” strategy. The company previously stated that the murder of George Floyd was a catalyst for its DEI initiatives. Activist-organizers called for a boycott of Target, which lost roughly $12.4 billion in market value by the end of February from January. Target’s stock is up roughly 63% this year, a sharp rebound from the depths of the boycott.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 760 MENTE LINDA LOOP, MILPITAS, CA 95035 A.P.N.: 083-14-049 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above..

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $ 994,634.76.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this property. Please be advised that the trustee may require entity or trust bidders at this trustee’s sale to provide information, documentation and/or certification of the vesting instructions and the data required to be reported pursuant to FinCEN regulations effective for transfers of residential real property to covered transferees on or after March 1, 2026. The required information must be provided to the trustee before a trustee’s deed upon sale will be issued for covered transfers. Additional information regarding these regulations and the required transferee information and certifications can be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/ documents/2024/08/29/2024-19198/anti-money-laundering-regulations-forresidential-real-estate-transfers and https://www.fincen.gov/rre-faqs#d_5 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site https://www.altisource.com/loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2026-00583-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: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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)-882-1314, or visit this internet website https://www.hubzu.com/, using the file number assigned to this case 2026-00583-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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.
