south shore

Thank you to the men and women of the South Lake Tahoe Moose Lodge who generously donated $300 to sponsor Bread & Broth’s Adopt A Day of Nourishment on Monday, July 9th. According to Scott Blumenthal, Governor Moose Lodge #1632, “A fabulous experience once again! Loved serving our community with love and food. And really good food too!”

Three students from the South Shore were awarded "Pay It Forward" scholarships to attend Lake Tahoe Community College this fall.

Kai Heiden of Mt. Tallac High School, Chris Manzano of South Tahoe High School and Samuel Alvarez from Whittell High School were awarded the scholarships. The two from California schools received $1,000 each, and the Whittell student received $2,000 due to his out-of-state tuition.

The students wrote essays on paying it forward in our community and how they can assist others in the future, and what that means to them.

Some of favorite music in college included hits by Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, the Isley Brothers, the Commodores, Donna Summer and others who were part of the "Motown Sound."

I recently enjoyed a delightful trip down memory lane in the showroom at Harrah's Tahoe during their hit summer-long show, Solid Gold Soul, which is a bit of glamour, glitter and a whole lot of talent.

I’ve had this article in my head for months, bouncing around the walls of my brain, trying to decide where to go with it. There is an epidemic continuing to spread in this country. One that is curable without a vaccine, without drugs, without changing one’s diet. It’s called a Lack of Kindness.

Locals and tourists alike can feel it in South Lake Tahoe, as if a cloud of hate has descended over the lake. Pleasantries seem to be a forgotten art, as has simple kindness like holding a door open for another, or letting a car back out of a parking space, or a simple smile to a stranger.
