Submitted by paula on Wed, 02/08/2017 - 12:45pm
An avalanche near the Stanford Sierra Camp on the shores of Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe took out a main power line, causing the area to be without power for much of Tuesday.

New Stanford coach Jerod Haase built success, one floor burn at a time
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/19/2016 - 10:48pm
Hidden among the pines in South Lake Tahoe is a backyard basketball half-court with ax marks on the free throw line and the area under the rim. Crime clues, perhaps?
Hardly. They’re the handiwork of a young man who three decades ago wouldn’t stop practicing his foul shots, come hell or high snowpack.
In the winter, Jerod Haase would shovel the snow off the court, but if it drifted up to 3 or 4 feet — “which it did a lot,” he says — he’d just shovel the free-throw line and the area beneath the hoop. The sun might melt some of the snow, but it would freeze back over into a layer of ice.

New Stanford coach, South Tahoe's Jerod Haase, promises ‘an attack mentality’
Submitted by paula on Mon, 03/28/2016 - 11:28pm
When Jerod Haase played at Kansas, he dived for loose balls so often that somebody at the school created a statistic for it.
He was so upset over the Jayhawks’ 85-82 loss to Arizona in the 1997 NCAA Tournament regional semifinals that he sulked about it long afterward. The source for that information is a former waitress at a Lawrence sports bar called the Yacht Club.
“He was very upset about that game,” the former Mindy Meidinger said. That’s how she and Haase met, and they’ve been married for 17 years.

Even though I've lived in South Lake Tahoe for 36 years, I'd never gone past Lily Lake. Wanting to get to the springs before winter, there was no time like the present to finally accomplish that task!

State’s population growth expected to outstrip water conservation in coming years
Submitted by paula on Sat, 02/14/2015 - 11:02pm
California water agencies are on track to satisfy a state mandate to reduce water consumption 20 percent by 2020. But according to their own projections, that savings won’t be enough to keep up with population growth just a decade later.
A 2009 state law requires urban water agencies to reduce per-capita water consumption 20 percent by 2020, compared with use at the start of the century. Most agencies are on track to reach that goal, and have made even more progress thanks to emergency cuts over the past year triggered by the ongoing drought.
