Mountain chickadees have remarkable memories - A new study explains why

Lost your keys? Misplaced your glasses? Can’t remember where you parked the car? You may wish you had the memory of a mountain chickadee.
In warmer months, these half-ounce birds, with brains slightly larger than a pea, stash tens of thousands of food items like seeds in tree bark, in lichens and crevices on the tree branches across the mountains. When winter arrives, they can recall the exact locations of their caches, a skill that helps them survive the bitter cold and deep snow.
Letter: Resident opposes $23 an hour minimum wage for South Lake Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Sun, 04/21/2024 - 3:31pm
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.
Opinion: The Vacancy Tax threatens our community

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?

It’s likely you or someone close to you has been affected by addiction. In fact, one in seven Americans aged 12 or older reports experiencing a substance use disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Addiction is not a personal failing or something to be ashamed of; it’s a health condition that requires treatment just like other health conditions.

Taylen Robert Claude Brooks~ March 3, 2003 - March 23, 2024
Submitted by paula on Wed, 04/17/2024 - 5:01am
Taylen Robert Claude Brooks gave his life defending his brother Wyatt and himself from a mountain lion attack near Georgetown, California, on March 23, 2024.
The natural bond between the two was made stronger by the time they spent together in the great outdoors, hunting deer and turkey in season, casting for bass and trout all summer long. They lived that rarest of things in the modern era, what Teddy Roosevelt called The Strenuous Life. They ate what they bagged, and at times, bagged entirely what they ate. Right down to roasted pigeons and squirrel fricassee.
