When one thinks of Antartica they most likely don't think of the continent as a place to vacation, let alone a place to run a marathon. But 200 runners did just that March 16-17, 2018 when they tackled a challenging 26.2 course on King George’s Island.

The following 32 businesses took out a license to operate in South Lake Tahoe in the month of January, 2018 and 34 in the month of February, 2018.

The third attempt to have the scheduled El Dorado County Board of Supervisors special vacation home rental (VHR) meeting has been postponed due to anticipated severe winter weather and in the interest of public safety, according to Supervisor Sue Novasel.

They have been trying to get the public together to discuss the county's revamping of their ordinance to address concerns since February 1, but a larger than anticipated crowd and weather has canceled each meeting.

There is no rescheduled date as of Thursday, but once a date is known the public will be informed.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIF. - El Dorado County Sheriff's Office responds to calls throughout the county. The following are calls that only pertain to the South Shore. There may be some missing calls due to sheriff's logs not being completed at time of story.

Some of those recently added to last week's log:

The Tahoe Chamber is going on the trip of a lifetime, and you are invited. A nine-day trip to Northern Italy and the beautiful Italian lakes will depart on October 15, 2018.

The itinerary is unlike any other available and offers travelers the opportunity to get to know Northern Italy for its beautiful landscape, delicious cuisine, and magnificent charm. The trip is just $3,399 if booked by March 31.

The Truckee Police Department was notified by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office on March 7, 2018 about a possible fraud that may have taken place in both communities.

A vacation home in Incline Village had been rented for a number of days by a couple using a fraudulent credit card issued by a foreign country. When the rental company returned to the home on Friday afternoon, they discovered major damage to the residence as well as the theft of thousands of dollars worth of electronics and other valuables. The homeowners had reported an approximate loss of $75,000 in theft and damages.

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has rescheduled the special vacation home rental (VHR) meeting, trying for the third time to get the public together to discuss the county's revamping of their ordinance to address concerns.

A meeting is now set for Saturday, March 24 at South Tahoe Middle School's Multipurpose room from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

On February 1, the first meeting for the discussion of the Board of Supervisors had to be postponed due to an overcapacity crowd filled the South Lake Tahoe Council Chambers and airport.

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisor's vacation home rental meeting rescheduled for Saturday, March 3 has been postponed, this time due to the blizzard conditions.

This meeting was to be a continuation of the February 1 meeting in South Lake Tahoe held to dicuss the county's new vacation rental ordinance. That meeting had to end after just a few minutes due to over a capacity crowd, almost double of the 112 people allowed in the SLT council chambers where the meeting was held.

South Lake Tahoe Mayor Wendy David held her second "Community Conversation" on Wednesday, opening the avenues of conversation between government and the public. This time Councilmember Brooke Laine joined her.

During the first such meeting in January the crowd got too big for the chosen area, Peet's Coffee, so this month they moved to the SLT Senior Center. Everyone attending agreed the center was much more conducive to good conversation.

"I thought it went really well," said Wendy. "I really appreciate the respect everyone shows for each other and opinions can be shared freely."

One thing is evident at the last few months of South Lake Tahoe City Council meetings - the public is interested in voicing their opinions about several hot topics on the agenda including vacation home rentals, cannabis and SnowGlobe.

Tuesday, February 20 was no different as a line of locals got up to speak about the newly formed group, the No Globe Alliance.

After Tuesday's normally scheduled 9:00 a.m. meeting, they will move to the Tahoe Beach Retreat & Lodge for an evening Cannabis Workshop to discuss upcoming regulations concerning the sales of adult-use cannabis in South Lake Tahoe. They moved to the larger venue due to expected participation.

On February 20, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., members of the public can give their input on what an ordinance concerning the sales of cannabis in city limits should look like. Besides council members there will also be representative of the Planning Commission and Cannabis Subcommittee.

A football player since the age of eight, Logan said he tried soccer but fell in love with football through Pop Warner.

The Cannabis Community Committee gave a presentation to the South Lake Tahoe City Council Tuesday, outlining the work they've done and recommendations for the City's ordinance for cannabis sales.

In Response to Mr. Scott Ramirez’ Letter to the City Council 01/21/2018

Dear Mr. Ramirez,

My name is Joshua Priou and I manage the property that is located directly across the street from you, I have been the sole property manager since it became a Vacation Home Rental in 2012. After reading your article I became quite saddened to hear of your concerns and I felt it was necessary to clarify and shed some light on your comments.

There will be a special meeting of the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors to discuss vacation home rentals (VHRs) in South Lake Tahoe at 6:00 p.m. on February 1 at the City Council chambers.

Supervisor Sue Novasel said she believes a meeting about the South Shore should be held on the South Shore so more of the citizens could attend and participate.

The hot topic of VHRs has divided many neighbors with opinions on both side of the issue.

Could there soon be a publicly-owned events center on the corner of Highway 50 and Lake Parkway on the MontBleu parking lot in Stateline, Nevada?

The plan to build the 88,420 square foot Tahoe South Events Center is now in the scoping stage where the public can weigh in and provide comments on the Tahoe Douglas Visitor's Authority (TDVA) proposal to construct the assembly, event and entertainment venue.

It was a very busy holiday weekend in South Lake Tahoe, with hotels, vacation homes and the slopes full of revelers, along with the thousands of attendees at the three-day music festival, SnowGlobe.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CALIF. - Fans of electronic music have flocked to South Lake Tahoe for the annual SnowGlobe outdoor music festival held December 29-31 at, one the Community Fields. The predominately under-30 crowd come from colleges and communities hundreds and even thousands of miles away to enjoy a specially gathered group of top artists in the electronic dance music (EDM) field.

Along with the fun though comes issues common at most music festivals: noise, trash, underage drinking and drugs.
