Dealing With Grief Dealing with grief is
enver easy and, as most clincal experts will tell you, losing
someone around the holidays is especially hard. Here to
explain ways to cope with grief around the holidays is Florie Elmore, Psy.
D. from UC Davis.
Tahoe's New Plan On December 12th,
the Tahoe Regional
Planning Agency will vote on the adoption of a new Regional Plan. It's the first big overhaul to
the original 1987 bi-state plan governing the Lake Tahoe basin and,
depending on the outcome, could become the essential foundation for
the next environmental leap forward. We're joined by Julie Regan,
chief of external affairs at the TRPA and Darcie Goodman Collins,
executive director of League to Save Lake Tahoe, to discuss the
options.
Transcontinental Railroad When you drive up
Interstate 80 over Donner Summit do you ever wonder where the names
of towns like Soda Springs or Dutch Flat originated? One man
who knows the answer, plus a lot more about the pass between
Sacramento and the Donner Summit, is Bill George, producer of the documentary film
"The Hidden
Wonder of the World, the Transcontinental Railroad from Sacramento
to Donner Summit" George released the film last year but now
he's nearly finished a book on the same topic, which features
directions to the sites shown in the documentary and a place called
the "Yosemite of Placer County."
Sacramento Master Singers A Celtic Christmas
is in full swing as the Sacramento Master Singers bring an Irish,
Scottish, and British flourish to Sacramento's holiday scene. The
well-loved Celtic duo, Men of Worth, are joining ranks with Sacramento
Master Singers as guest artists all December--they, along with SMS
director/conductor Dr. Ralph Hughes, join us today with guitar in
hand. You can find show and ticketing information here.
