SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - There have been many calls to local fire agencies this afternoon about smoke, and the smell of smoke. There is a prescribed fire on SR4 at Calaveras Big Trees and the plume of smoke gets elevated at that point, and the incoming weather system is bringing it right to South Lake Tahoe.
The National Weather Service in Reno could see it on their models, and there is no other source of smoke closer than Calaveras.

Dear Editor, I want to thank the many citizens for reaching out to me with your support, opinions, and ideas. I have taken it all to heart and win, lose, or draw I feel grateful for becoming so immersed in our local leadership.
As one of the very first two candidates to recognize Measure N as too divisive, poorly written, and unnecessary given the almost 600 housing apartments being proposed and Sugar Pine Village's grand opening with folks moving in as I write this, my hope is that a kind respectful, thoughtful, city council will be in place as a result of this election.
