- The Gann Fire, a fast-moving wildfire that has burned more than 9,300 acres in Calaveras County and forced hundreds of evacuations, ignited shortly before 5:30 p.m. Aug. 3 near Hogan Dam and Gann roads in Valley Springs.
As of Wednesday morning, it was 10% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Fire crews gained some containment overnight after days of triple-digit heat fueled rapid fire growth through Calaveras County backcountry near New Hogan Lake. The fire was measured at 9,363 acres by aircraft around 11 a.m. Crews were continuing to strengthen containment lines on Wednesday, officials said.

- On Aug. 3 the four lead chefs of the 2026 Tower Bridge Dinner showcased the dishes they will be serving at the high-profile event. The chefs were announced on June 3 by Visit Sacramento, the city’s tourism bureau that has hosted the farm-to-fork dinner since 2013.
Each year a different slate of local chefs is selected. Headlining this year are Kate Sutherland of Waterboy, Giancarlo Zapata of Chicha Peruvian Kitchen, Francisco Rivera of Hawks Public House and Joe Pruner of Bocce Ristorante, a new East Sacramento Italian restaurant that has been hosting pop-ups in anticipation of its impending opening.
This year’s menu comprises four dishes, which the team of chefs has been developing for the last six months. Each chef took the lead on one dish, but the team worked collaboratively to refine the final results and served them in unison.

- Eight rides at this year’s California State Fair promise a “100% thrill” for adrenaline junkies. But do they deliver on the heart-pounding, stomach-dropping experience they advertise?
The fair, which opened last week and runs through Aug. 2, offers a wide range of attractions, from live entertainment acts to livestock exhibitions. But among its biggest draws is, of course, a fair staple; the carnival rides. Thirty rides are available for adults to try out at the fair this summer, and eight promise a “100% thrill” experience, boasting speeds of up to 70 mph, rapid flips and 360 degree spins for ride goers.
Here's what intern Reeti Malhotra thought of three of them.

McAdam’s decision, which came after Dominguez waived a jury trial to determine sanity, followed a verdict on July 21 in which Yolo County jurors found him guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Dominguez, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the April 2023 killings of David Breaux, 50, and Karim Abou Najm, 20, at Davis’ Central and Sycamore parks. A third victim, Kimberlee Guillory, was also stabbed and survived.

Inside the 86-year-old theater lobby, audiences were lined up to fill their $60 Trojan Horse popcorn buckets before the screening of director Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated rendering of Homer’s epic “The Odyssey.”
The film, which was shot on 70mm IMAX cameras, is expected to earn between $90 and $100 million in its opening weekend. But only 25 theaters in the country and 41 worldwide are equipped to screen the film the way Nolan intended: on a 60 by 80 foot film screen with speakers that make the theater walls shake.
Esquire is one of only a handful of theaters housing the Grand Theatre projector that can roll through the film. But not only does a theater need the correct projector, it also needs a trained projectionist.

- Description
- Sacramento police bodycam footage from two homeless encampment sweeps show new patterns of enforcement — and the contradictions inherent in criminalizing “camping” when homelessness is technically not a crime.
As part of a small claims lawsuit, the city released more than seven hours of bodycam footage from two encampment evictions involving the same woman last year. In the footage, reviewed by The Sacramento Bee, city police officers lay out a homeless enforcement regime that one officer says has become “zero-tolerance.”
As police note in the videos, this stricter approach to camping was a change for Sacramento — adopted following the 2024 Supreme Court decision known as Grants Pass, which allows municipalities to treat living outside as a crime even when the person has nowhere else to go. The changes were reinforced by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s calls for greater enforcement of anti-camping ordinances in 2025.

“She seems to have recovered perfectly, which most dogs aren’t that lucky,” said Brittney Sanfacon, a resident veterinarian in the emergency room of the hospital who handled the puppy’s case.

Nolan-Rodriguez described her husband as an exceptionally supportive dad. At every football game her son played, she said, he was the loudest parent there.
“I miss telling him he's too loud,” she said. “I would do anything to hear him scream like that again.”
Nolan-Rodriguez was one of more than 50 people who came together Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil to honor the men who lost their lives in the fireworks blast a year ago. Friends, family and community members gathered in the parking lot beside the Esparto Dollar General, where they lit candles, said prayers and remembered the victims.

In a market where many luxury buyers chase views and square footage, the Sierra Nevada property offers something harder to find: a fully off-grid retreat with river frontage, guest cabins and a luxury saloon built for entertaining.
The 3,200-square-foot residence at 10825 Lola Montez Road in Soda Springs, about 90 minutes from Sacramento via Interstate 80, includes three bedrooms and four bathrooms, but the listing describes it more like a private Sierra camp than a conventional home. The estate sits within the gated Towle Mountain community and includes three cabins, a workshop, a 1,000-square-foot apartment above a saloon and direct access to the Yuba River.

- The city of Sacramento opened a new “safe camping” site, located in the River District just north of downtown, with space for 96 tents on raised wood platforms under shade canopies. It’s missing some of the amenities offered at most of the other Sacramento shelters, such as air conditioning, heat or meals. However, the site does offer security, shade, showers, porta-potties and case managers.
“It’s not perfect,” Mayor Kevin McCarty said Tuesday during a news conference. “But I’d like to go down the street and ask if it is better than being outside. We can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”
The city paid $2.5 million to construct the shelter, which is on a property the city already owned, said City Manager Maraskeshia Smith. That cost included a contract with Livermore-based G&G Builders. The city is also paying $1.2 million annually to contractors to run the shelter, including Santa Monica-based nonprofit Step Up on Second Street.

In May, RT’s Board of Directors approved changes to the speaker configuration for multi-cab vehicles that will meet “all safety requirements while significantly reducing noise impacts,” agency spokesperson Jessica Gonzalez said.

In 2024, OnlyFans ranked higher than Apple Inc., Google and Netflix Inc. in terms of revenue generation per employee, according to YahooFinance.

- Description
- The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the finances of First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, according to two sources familiar with the investigation.
The probe focuses on Siebel Newsom’s taxes and nonprofits connected to her and Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to a federal source and a source within Siebel Newsom’s office who were not authorized to speak publicly.
The federal source said there were “several” investigations into the Newsoms that had been ongoing for roughly one year, and originated out of whistleblower complaints submitted to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sacramento.
In a video statement posted to social media, Newsom claimed the White House is “abusing the grand jury process” to target him and his wife after months of antagonizing President Donald Trump and ahead of his planned run for president in 2028.

- Description
- Built in 1925, the brick Colonial in Sacramento’s prestigious Fabulous 40s spans about 6,300 square feet. It has five to six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a full walkout basement and a top floor that once served as known as the ballroom
Kamal and Ravi Khaira, and their two daughters, are only the second family to live in the Fab 40 mansion at 1441 40th St. They spent nearly three years meticulously restoring it, preserving period details while updating nearly every system. But to understand the house, it helps to know its first family.
The original owners were socialite Beatrice “Pinkie” Thys and her Belgian husband, Edouard Thys, who came from a prominent Antwerp family with ties to nobility, according to previous Sacramento Bee reporting. Pinkie’s German immigrant father Emil Clemens Horst built an empire around hops cultivation, including owning vast fields around Campus Commons and other Sacramento areas.

- On a hot afternoon in Santa Clara, Qatar secured a historic World Cup point against Group B’s heavy favorite, Switzerland.
The first ever World Cup game played in Levi’s Stadium was moments away from going to the Swiss. But an extra-time goal off the head of Qatari Boualem Khoukhi in the 94th minute tied things after it appeared Switzerland would cruise to three points in its Group B opener.
The contest ended moments later with Qatar earning a stunning point with a 1-1 tie — giving the nation its first ever point in World Cup play. It was the Maroons’ second World Cup appearance in their soccer history after automatically qualifying as the host nation in 2022.

- Bee Appetit: Move over, Gunther’s, this shop serves super-premium ice cream

- Description
- Sacramento is an ice cream-loving town. From our beloved classic hangouts Gunther’s and Vic’s to more modern options like the vegan scoops at Babe’s Ice Cream & Donuts, there’s no shortage of places to grab a cup or cone.
In a way, ice cream parlors are the perfect anchor tenants for a neighborhood, each a place that draws people in and encourages engagement with the area. For Oak Park, that place is Licked.
Susan Stewart and her partner Darcie Weinberg run the shop, which sits across the street from their flagship business, the home and gift store Strapping, which has been in Oak Park for nine years. Stewart opened Licked in 2024, after the space became available.
Unlike Gunther’s and Vic’s, Licked does not produce its own ice cream. Stewart sources it from Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream in Madison, Wisconsin.

- Service Employees International Union members gathered on June 10 outside SEIU Local 1000 headquarters, adorned their cars in purple and gold, and drove to the California Capitol to protest Gov. Gavin Newsom’s unpopular in-person work directive.
The order was originally supposed to go into effect in 2025 but was postponed for a year after widespread union upset. Now that the deadline has come back around and takes effect next month, the union that represents thousands of state workers, has continued to protest the return-to-work order that would have its members, returning to government offices four days a week.

The fire, an escaped prescribed burn, broke out about seven miles west of Winters near Highway 128 on June 8, officials said.
Highway 128, which was closed for about a day after the Putah Fire expanded, is now open in both directions, Cal Fire’s Sonoma-Lake-Napa unit said.
All evacuation warnings and advisories have been lifted. Much of the Sacramento Valley, including where the Putah Fire is burning, is under a red flag warning from June 10 to June 11, the National Weather Service said. The conditions could allow for rapid fire spread.
