Drop off any of the following items that have been requested from Paradise area organizations: Backpacks or luggage, undergarments for all ages/genders, surgical gloves, single-serve nonperishable food items, car phone chargers, laundry baskets, new blankets/pillows/towels/washcloths, pet food and litter, ear plugs, reading glasses, toilet paper, and toiletry/hygiene products.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - For 29 years members of the Barton Hospital Auxiliary and their volunteers have been creating cheese balls to sell during the holidays, and for 29 years the popularity of the garlicky, nutty and slightly spicy cheese balls has continued to grow.

One creamy swipe across a piece of sourdough bread or dipped with a cracker, and anyone with a discerning palate can tell the difference between store-bought and these homemade delights.

But what is in that tasty swipe is a guarded secret.

Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are invited to this fun, hands-on restoration day on Saturday, September 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Nevada Beach. By pitching in, you are improving the watershed habitats that surround Lake Tahoe. Healthy forests act as natural pollution filters to Keep Tahoe Blue.

Wear sturdy boots and clothes that are comfortable and can get dirty, and wear sunglasses. Bring a reusable water bottle and leather work gloves if you have them.

Location

The Washoe County Sheriff's Office has announced they arrested a man who they believe was responsible for the Incline Village robbery of Wells Fargo Bank Friday.

A deputy was driving on the Mt. Rose Highway later that day and spotted the suspect and arrested him on robbery and drug possession charges.

Greg Bauer Roberts, 48, was booked into the Washoe County Jail where he is still being held as of Saturday morning. Bail has not been set.

Original story:

Five South Lake Tahoe residents have been arrested by the Placer County Sheriff's Office on burglary charges after a Homewood, California home was broken into twice in the past week.

After the first incident on July 24, deputies responded to Sacramento Avenue in Homewood for a reported residential burglary. The burglars had broken into a home and stole numerous items, including a Mercedes Benz that had been parked in the garage.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) is joining the South Lake Tahoe Fire and Lake Valley Fire medics in having their personnel carrying medication used to block the effects of opioids. Narcan (commercial name for Naloxone) can be given to persons suffering from suspected or accidental opioid overdoses at the earliest possible time to minimize overdosing.

We've all seen the discarded sleds and other trash spread over popular roadside sledding areas around Lake Tahoe, and a recent cleanup got rid of the trash at Spooner Summit.

The Tahoe Fund organized the clean up day with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Starbucks of Incline Village.

Found during their morning cleanup efforts were lots of broken sled pieces, beer bottles, soda cans, gloves, wrappers and plastic utensils.

About the Event

After Tahoe's celebrated July Fourth festivities, our beaches are thrashed with trash, which can hurt wildlife and lake clarity. Each year, hundreds of Tahoe residents and visitors turn out for our largest cleanup of the year to remove litter from our beaches. Help Keep Tahoe Blue by joining a beach cleanup site!

We will provide cleanup materials, refreshments and raffle prizes.

Be sure to bring:
Reusable water bottle, sunscreen, cleanup gloves (if you have them), hat, sunglasses and wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as well as any snacks that you would like.

Join in on the League to Save Lake Tahoe's community cleanup day on Earth Day, April 18. During the snow melt, trash can become exposed and the League is inviting everyone to join in as they celebrate Earth Month. Kick off the warm season and join in for a cleanup! Cleanup materials will be provided and all volunteers will be treated to a lunch, raffle and prizes.

Bring a reusable water bottle, gloves and friends.

A woman and her son visiting with other family members at Kirkwood Ski Resort on Sunday, March 4 died in a snow slide near their condominium, according to the Alpine County Sheriff's Office.

Olga Perkovic, 50, and her seven-year-old son were reported missing at 6:40 p.m. They had last been seen on Chair Seven at 4:00 p.m. The search was focused on that area.

At 9:00 p.m., a neighbor of the missing pair noticed ski gloves on the snow adjacent to their condominium. The neighbor investigated the gloves and found the pair buried underneath three feet of snow. They were unconscious.

Brrrrrr...

The week ahead in South Lake Tahoe will be a clear one, but very cold as a strong high pressure system builds over the Sierra causing prolonged periods of strong morning inversions.

The National Weather Service in Reno has issued a wind advisory for Lake Tahoe from 1:00 p.m. Monday to 10:00 a.m. Tuesday. Winds will be from the East 15-25 mph with gusts to 35 mph. Over the ridges will be as high as 80 mph.

Not many can boast of skiing the mountains around Lake Tahoe for six decades, but Martin Hollay of South Lake Tahoe can do just that and he's not done yet.

At a very young 96-years-old (he turns 97 this fall), Hollay's contributions to Heavenly Mountain Resort were recognized Monday as the ski resort dedicated Martin's Hiking Trail, Martin's Trees and a granite peak near Maggie's Run in the name of their former employee and ski patrolman.

The first El Dorado County case of West Nile virus was confirmed in South Lake Tahoe. County health officials received confirmation this week that a Stellar Jay found on July 31 has tested positive for the virus.

So far this year, West Nile virus activity has been reported in 28 California counties, including neighboring Sacramento and Placer counties. There have been four human cases of the virus reported from Kings, Kern, San Bernardino
and Los Angeles counties.
