Letter: Measure U Is Not Cheap
Submitted by paula on Sun, 10/13/2024 - 6:09pm
Dear, Editor; At the risk of sounding like I am not supporting well-maintained schools for our students, I would like to point out discrepancies I have found in Lake Tahoe Unified School District's (LTUSD) ballot language for Measure U as well as to refute some of the misinformation swirling around in several letters supporting the Measure, and the view that, of course, you must vote for it, because it is cheap.

Dear Editor, I support David Jinkens and want to emphasize his invaluable contributions to the South Lake Tahoe community and his experience as city manager.

Letter: I am with David Jinkens
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 3:41pm
I would vote for David Jinkens if I could. The choice is clear as a 52-year resident, father of two, business owner for 40 years, former STPUD director (89to93), and an involved citizen. In 2007 the world was going through a great recession, so things were beyond the reach of the city council and city manager. I don't know about Rachel C. (in an opinion piece on Wednesday) but I went through eminent domain in 1989 and I wish David Jinkens was the city manager then.
I could use all the noun modifiers in the dictionary to describe Dave, but he is the best choice for the city council.

Letter: The Real David Jinkens
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 6:00am
As a longtime resident of South Lake Tahoe, I find it very concerning that former city manager David Jinkens is running for City Council.
During this campaign, David Jinkens has continually touted his experience as a city manager. He has stated that his experience is one of the reasons the voters should elect him. However, he rarely shares any tangible accomplishments during this time. And our local media seems to have failed to ask about this same experience. Let’s take a closer look at the experience David Jinkens thinks deserves your vote.

Letter: Support Measure U and Proposition 13
Submitted by paula on Wed, 10/09/2024 - 5:01am
When considering your vote on Measure U, please remember how we benefit from Proposition 13. What does the 1978 California property tax limitation law have to do with our local school facility bond measure? Prop 13 keeps our taxes lower by limiting residential property tax assessment to one percent of the actual purchase price and then keeping annual tax increases at two percent per year after that. Our local property taxes on average are much lower than other states around the country.

Douglas County Citizens, It has become increasingly obvious that Trustee Doug Englekirk is no longer a person we can trust to carry out the business of the Douglas County School District (DCSD.) Not because of his beliefs or ideas on what he thinks is best for our kids, but because by his own admission at recent debates and legal proceedings, he simply doesn’t have the time that is required of a trustee to perform the business of the DCSD.

Nonna K. Katzenstein `~ 1926 - 2024
Submitted by paula on Sun, 10/06/2024 - 10:43am
Nonna K. Katzenstein (nee Klinghardt) was born in Harbin, China, on January 30, 1926. She died on September 13, 2024, in South Lake Tahoe at the age of 98.
Nonna was born in Harbin, China after her parents had emigrated from Siberia to China after the Russian Revolution. Education was important to her family and at the age of nine, she attended St. Francis boarding school in Cheefoo, China for seven years. There she learned English since Russian was her native language. When WW II broke out in 1941, her school closed and she returned to Shanghai to live with her family.
