A sign on the Kyburz Lodge reads "Welcome to Kyburz. Now leaving Kyburz," a reference to the blink-and-you-miss-it community along Highway 50 halfway between the South Shore and Placerville.
But the mountain hamlet is actually home to 110 people and the community is fighting to save its 150-year-old post office, located in the lodge.

CARSON CITY – Nevada’s public employee pension system is one of the better funded plans around the country, but its financial health is far poorer than taxpayers may realize because of the way the long-term liabilities are calculated, a new analysis released Wednesday says.

Claudia Vecchio has four weeks to cram for a big test. The newly appointed director of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs — the revamped Nevada Tourism Commission — will deliver opening remarks for the two-day Governor’s Conference on Tourism beginning Nov. 29. With a shrinking budget that not only is dwarfed by other state departments but by state tourism boards across the West, Vecchio has her eyes on the low-cost 21st century version of over-the-fence chitchat with friends and neighbors — social networks such as Twitter and Facebook.

UPDATE:(October 18, 12:30pm) The vote on the Tentative Agreement between General & Public Works and the City of South Lake Tahoe has been postponed to give both parties more time for review. The employee group will meet and vote on Friday, October 21. City council will then vote on the agreement at the next meeting which has not yet been scheduled.
"It was just too fast," said City of South Lake Tahoe Human Resource Director Janet Emmett. "It was obvious that they needed more time to educate their members and then we would need more time to review the agreement as well."
Meanwhile, the city council meets at 2pm today for the special budget meeting, and is expected to approve the layoff of 19 employees. This number is lower than the original proposed cuts in staff, and will spare the Streets Department from losing more than half of its workers.
