Tahoe is a glorious place. Most of us come here to live in its beauty, but it’s the “community” that keeps so many of us here. It’s that sense of doing good for one another that keeps many of us hopeful about the future. I’m happily involved in different aspects of our community and that part of my life is why I feel so grateful and blessed. Tuesday’s Drug Store Project for our sixth-grade youth was a testament to the compassion and dedication of our agencies, businesses, service clubs, and community members for the good of its people.

If you had walked onto the LTCC campus on Tuesday, April 3, you would have never guessed that there were 325 6th grade youth and 220 agency and volunteer workers throughout the corridors, all learning information on how and why to keep themselves safe from drugs. “Choices, what are yours?” was the theme of our efforts in keeping our youth drug free. With the country’s attitudes and norms about drug use changing, times are even more difficult for our kids.

Several residents on the west slope of El Dorado County have periodically made calls into law enforcement about "loud booms" heard over many days so the Sheriff's Department investigated several possible sources.
It turns out that the sounds were created by Naval Air Station Fallon and Hawthorne Army Depot maneuvers over the County, mostly heard in the area of Swansboro. The daily ordinance explosions and high speed fighters and bombers breaking the sound barrier have been determined to be the cause of the noises.
