It has been 164 years since the Pony Express first brought mail to California and Nevada. It took 10 days to get letters from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. Progress has advanced the service since then, but possible changes are on the horizon that could put mail to and from Lake Tahoe and western Nevada and the rest of the country back on a slower trail.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has proposed a plan to revamp its system in the country in a $40 billion investment strategy.

The Flavors of Spring! Taxes are done, daffodils are in bloom and the sound of “cheeseburger” is in the air. It must be Spring! So many things to love about this time of year, such as the crisp fresh flavors of spring produce, One of my favorite springtime vegetables is fava beans (admit it, you are saying the line “fava beans and a nice chianti” in your head right now!). Well, there’s more to these lovely beans than just an iconic movie quote.

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.

Dear community: Were you recently misled? Did you sign a petition recently to support a ballot measure that you now don't want to? If so, there is something you can do. A small group of newcomers to our Tahoe community have been in bars, grocery store parking lots, post offices, and at our schools, soliciting signatures for a tax on homeowners under the guise that the ballot measure they are pushing would be for affordable housing. Who doesn't support affordable housing? It is easy to be swayed by their argument, however, they are not telling the whole truth.
