SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The trash left behind on Lake Tahoe's beaches after the 4th of July last year led retired South Tahoe Middle School Krissi Russell to write the song, Just Drink Tahoe Tap. Now with the plastic water ban going into effect in South Lake Tahoe on April 22, she wanted to share the positive message.

Krissi, a long-time Tahoe local, taught Spanish and English Language Development at the middle school for 28 years. She is a singer/songwriter, an advocate for the lake, and a children's book author.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - It was a beautiful April day around Lake Tahoe this weekend, and expect one more of the same before some unsettled weather passes through.

Robust upper ridging, which is responsible for our stretch of warm

Spring weather in Tahoe is here, and just like that, the snow at lake level has melted. Last week marked that time of year when the days started to get a little longer, and our family filed our taxes. The proposed Vacancy Tax is another tax that I do not want to pay and is not right for this community. As a full-time resident, full-time worker, primary homeowner, and father, how can anyone in good conscience be attempting to dictate my future?

The following was sent to the South lake Tahoe City Council and printed here at the request of its author: I am writing in opposition to the proposed increase to the City’s minimum wage to $23 an hour.

South Lake Tahoe businesses are already struggling with higher food costs, utility costs rising almost 40 percent, and skyrocketing insurance rates. To pile on a mandatory $23 an-hour minimum wage could and would force many more Tahoe businesses to close up shop or severely reduce staff which defeats the purpose of the proposed idea, in my view.

Mark your calendars for the St. Theresa Catholic Church's annual document shredding day. The Religious Education Department is hosting the fundraiser to benefit the youth of the parish.
