To combat this in our own community, Barton Health is offering the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP), a national program proven to improve health and wellness. CHIP is designed to help people reduce their risk for disease through better health habits and lifestyle changes.

Cinder the Bear found dead in Washington

When Cinder the Bear arrived in South Lake Tahoe on August 4, 2014 the prognosis wasn't a good one. The 18-month old black bear had been severely burned in the Carlton Complex Fire in Washington and weighed in at just 39 pounds, about half of what a cub her age should be.

Road Beat: Toyota Sienna, Stellar Performance

Minivans are not supposed to be hot rods or even quick. They are for hauling the family with comfortable seven to eight passenger seating (there isn’t a bad seat in this house) while still having massive cargo capacity. Or they are for going to your local Home Depot or Lowe’s and God help your credit card. I was actually able to put 12-foot-long baseboard inside this massive shipping container.

Seven tips to start cooking this holiday season

As the holidays get closer, life naturally gets busier and healthy habits can get thrown out the window. Holiday parties, Thanksgiving leftovers, and Christmas eggnog take the place of health for a lot of us, and any nutrition goals can be a struggle.

If you don’t cook at home regularly, here are some tips to get you started.

LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Two local bears found themselves in places that normally don't see bears--Rideout Elementary School in Tahoe City and the Donner Pass Highway Patrol office. In both instances, the doors closed behind them and the bears found themselves trapped inside.

On Saturday November 24, a bear decided to visit the school's food closet and ransack it in search for a good meal.
