SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Lake Tahoe Golf Course has retained its designation as a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, an Audubon International program.

Bobby Jaeger, Golf Course Superintendent, led the effort to maintain sanctuary status on this course. Lake Tahoe Golf Course was designated as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 2003 and is one of 904 courses in the world to currently be designated as such.

Vern Pierson, the El Dorado County District Attorney, testified against the "Sanctuary State Bill" in Sacramento on Wednesday.

Pierson spoke before the California Assembly Judiciary Committee.

"I’m strongly opposed to making California a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants," Pierson said. "Local, state and federal law enforcement officers need to be able to communicate with each other in regard to an important issue like immigration enforcement."

If Senate Bill 54 were to pass, state and local law enforcement would not be allowed to cooperate with immigration authorities.

Leaning back in his chair, his gold sheriff’s badge glinting in a shaft of light, John D’Agostini thought for a second about what he would do if Sacramento legislators imposed San Francisco-style sanctuary laws to protect people living across the state illegally.

His dilemma is part of the complex immigration debate in California, where a bill passed last week by the state Senate would restrict cooperation with U.S. immigration agents everywhere, including not only liberal strongholds but bastions of conservatism like El Dorado County.

The Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care Center has been a significant part of South Lake Tahoe's community for 37 years. The founders, Tom and Cheryl Milham, have cared for orphaned and injured animals out of their home, and plans are now in place to move the center to the corner of Al Tahoe Blvd and Pioneer Trail.

A Nevada wildlife sanctuary is awaiting test results from a California laboratory to determine what killed a tiger and wolf and seriously sickened a cheetah.

The Animal Ark near Reno says a 21-year-old tiger died on Feb. 6, a day before a 3-year-old wolf died and a 9-year-old cheetah was found comatose.

Officials at the nonprofit sanctuary say a barbiturate from an undetermined source is suspected as the cause of the deaths and illness after the cheetah tested positive for the drug. Food also hasn't been ruled out as the cause.

For 36 years, Tom and Cheryl Millham have operated Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care out of their home on Cherry Hills Circle in the county portion of South Lake Tahoe. Today, their dream of creating a new sanctuary with no neighboring homes has became a reality.
