Marty Rahbeck has lived in South Lake Tahoe for 22 years now. He says the bear problem has never been this bad. "There are a lot of bears up there. They're competing for resources, and that's why they're coming down." Public comment for another bear hunt could come in February. Go here for a report from John Potter at KTVN Channel 2 News Reno.
South Lake Tahoe police and fire were called at about 2:30 this afternoon to Raley's at the"Y" after a report of a woman not breathing inside a car with two small children inside.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer affects 1 out of 8 women. This is a growing concern, since many breast cancers are found after the disease has been developing for years. Tahoe Women's Care is the region's only OB/GYN practice to offer the HALO® breast test. Designed to detect abnormal cells HALO® may help identify precancerous breast cells up to eight years earlier than might be found on a mammogram.
