You may not be aware that someone you know has been a victim, but statistically speaking, it is almost guaranteed. Violence and abuse take many forms, including domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking and cyberstalking, and child abuse.

● One in 4 women in the U.S. will experience some form of relationship violence in their lifetime.
● Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted.
● One in 10 people is stalked.
● Nearly 700,000 children are abused in the U.S each year; however, this data may be inaccurate as many child abuse cases go unreported.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - With services stopped during the first months of the pandemic due to safety concerns, Barton Health is bringing back health and wellness programs to its Robert Maloff Center for Orthopedics & Wellness.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Many nonprofits have had to cancel their fundraisers due to the coronavirus, but the ladies of the Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra (SITS) club in South Lake Tahoe weren't going to let the virus stop them.

Their 31t annual Elegant Evening was slated to be held at Harrah's Tahoe on April 18 with a sit-down dinner, live music, and dancing, raffle, and auction. The venue closed and restrictions on meeting in groups of over 10 people were created, so what do you do with an event that brings together 500 community members?

Move it online, of course.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - South Tahoe High's Sports Medicine students earned impressive third-place honors at the 18th annual High School Sports Medicine Competition at UC Northridge this past weekend. They competed against 700 students from 50 high schools from western states including Kansas, Texas, Washington, and California.

This is the third year the school's Sports Medicine Coordinator Isaiah Tannaci has taken a group of his students to the competition. The first year the group went to observe and learn, the second year they came in tenth, and now a top-three finish.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - It was well below freezing but spirits warmed the air as car after car honked at the dozens of Barton Health nurses, both current and retired, picketing on both sides of Highway 50 on 3rd Street in South Lake Tahoe.

"We've had amazing support from the community," said emergency room nurse Ronnie Navarro, an 11-year employee of the hospital. That community included other local unions including the police and fire departments.

STATELINE, Nev. - Local integrative veterinarian, Carrie Turner of Heal on Kingsbury Grade in Stateline, is offering pet owners even more options for integrative veterinary care. Jenny Jones, physical therapist and certified canine rehabilitation therapist has partnered with Heal to provide more healing options for Lake Tahoe’s dogs and cats.

CLASSIC CUT LAWN CARE

Helping to feed those in need, Mind Body Physical Therapy hosted Bread & Broth’s Monday Meal on February 16. It’s really wonderful that these folks not only help others feel better in their work lives but also donate their personal time and funds to provide healthy meals and compassion to food insecure members of the South Tahoe community.

A six-week educational series that will provide support for people who care for, or plan to care for, a family member of friend over the age of 60 will be presented by El Dorado County starting April 18, 2016.

The "Aging & Caregiver" series will be held on Mondays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel, 4130 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe.

By providing meals and “giveaway” food bags, Bread & Broth strives to give hope and comfort to those who struggle with hunger in our community. Thanks to B&B’s “Adopt A Day of Nourishment” sponsors, filling and well balanced meals are served every Monday at St. Theresa Grace Hall. Knowing that nutritious meals will be served and additional food to take home will be provided, B&B’s Monday evening dinner guests gratefully know that they will not be hungry for at least for that day.
