The South Lake Tahoe Fire Department would like to remind residents that sand bags are available at Fire Station 3 located at 2101 Lake Tahoe Boulevard (near the “Y”) and at Bijou Park located at 1201 Al Tahoe Boulevard. There is no cost for the sand bags and residents are limited to ten (10) sand bags per household.

To pick-up your sand bags at Fire Station 3, access the rear of the property from James Avenue. At the back of the station is a large sand mound and residents can fill their own bags. Bags and shovels are located in a bin next to the sand mound.

After attending the State of the South Shore Economy Public Forum held on October 23rd, 2012 I was inspired to draft a response to the questions about economic revitalization that were asked at the meeting. I feel like our group had many salient ideas that were not properly represented. Also, I have noticed that people are quick to offer ideas like “reduce unemployment”, “beautify the city”, and “improve recreation”, but they are typically unable to offer suggestions on how to make those ideas a reality.

Had a brain fart last month and couldn’t think of anything worthwhile to say. Guess I will have a little catching up to do this month as the ski season is over and I am bored out of my mind as well as pissed I have to go back to work.
Wow, what a closing we had on The Face for the last day at Heavenly. Pete Sonntag and Todd Rudis opened The Face from noon till 4:15 and we got our last jolly’s in before the annual parking lot party which by the way was one of the biggest I have seen in a long time.

As you may know, sugar pines and other white pines are plagued by a non-native invasive pathogen. White pine blister rust kills about 90 percent of sugar pines it infects. Scientists and restoration managers have agreed that the only effective restoration strategy is to identify seed trees resistant to the rust and plant their progeny. That is exactly what the Sugar Pine Foundation does and you can help too. Last fall, a volunteer described planting sugar pines as “creating life in our neck of the woods.”

The Lakeview Commons Project, a partnership between the California Tahoe Conservancy and the City of South Lake Tahoe, spans the beach area that was once known to locals as El Dorado Beach. Approaching from the western side is the boat ramp, and a newly constructed Boathouse. The downstairs will feature storage lockers for paddle boards and kayaks, restrooms, and a boat rental area. Upstairs will be a concession stand and patio with a gas fire pit and a more commercial size barbeque with a cook top.

The City of South Lake Tahoe hosted a special project walk-through at the Lakeview Commons Project Site Thursday afternoon, and revealed the almost-finished product that the city hopes will be a jewel in the recreation crown for the area.

It will be double-trouble for South Lake Tahoe motorists over the next few weeks, as roadwork is expected to cause delays on the city's two main thoroughfares.
On Sept. 14, Caltrans began working around-the-clock on its $40.6 million Highway 50 project within the city. Crews are grinding and paving the road between Fremont Avenue and Trout Creek. Lane closures are planned between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., with traffic diverted to the eastbound lanes during paving of the westbound lanes, and vice versa. Motorists can expect up to 10-minute delays.

As residents, we deserve all of our trails to be in the same renovated condition as the Al Tahoe section recently completed. Locals should vote no on Measure R because our trails need 100% of the mone...
