| CHEERS: To the ski resorts opening up in the next week, including Sugar Bowl, Squaw Valley USA, Mount Rose and Northstar-at-Tahoe. We should start to see our towns filling up with the much-needed visitors and tourists, just in time for the Thanksgiving... more... |
| CHEERS: To the move by regional congressional leaders recently to attempt to secure $415 million for the future of Lake Tahoe's environmental protection. As developable land gets eaten up in the arid west, developers and energy scouts will continue to... | |
| If the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District board does not adopt the nine tenets of civility — it tabled it at Wednesday night's school board meeting — it risks sending the wrong message to our community — that some of our board... | |
| CHEERS: To the Truckee High School girls soccer team, who is off to another fantastic season. They are favorites to win the state championships again, and like we editorialized with the football team this week — let's rally behind them so they can... | |
| It's a beautiful thing — a community rallying around a football team. It's old-fashioned, and often debated by those who say it distracts from educational missions. | |
| We encourage any one planning to take the Swine Flu vaccination to do their homework, first. While the vaccination process is safe, it is not for everyone. | |
| CHEERS: To the first snow of the year this week. While we are struggling to loosen our bear-hug on summer, we know early snowfall is always good news — both to our economy, and to the many snow fiends with whom we like to associate. Now that the... | |

| CHEERS: To our local students and teachers involved with activities outside of school. We regularly attend area athletic and dramatic events at the schools, and never walk away feeling uninspired. The talents we have locally are outstanding, both on and... | |
| California's leaders, if that's what we're still calling them, have been arguing for months about possible solutions to the state's budget crisis. Current gubernatorial candidates are joining the exhausted chorus, asking for thousands of job cuts across... | |
| JEERS: To the fire mitigation funds going to places without need, including the $2.8 million earmarked for Washington D.C., a city without national forests. Residents of the west need no formal introduction to the problems that catastrophic wildfires are... | |
| We should know better, but the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's announcement this week that they hired a new regional planning director gives us confidence that the project, finally, might get done. | |

| While President Obama's main point in Tuesday's speech — education is personal responsibility — is true enough to be considered common sense, it also short cut the responsibility of our communities to foster a positive learning... | |
