Landslide blocks road on the way to Emerald Bay

Tahoe Daily Tribune

In the process of clearing snow to reopen the highway through Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe, Caltrans crews ran into a roadblock.

Highway 89 has been closed since Feb. 23 due to historic snowfall creating avalanche concerns. Caltrans snow plow drivers began working the weekend of March 18 to cut a path through several feet of snow. By midweek they reached the sidehill viaduct below Eagle Falls, where a “massive slide” had brought down trees, boulders and debris, according to Caltrans officials.

Once the landslide and snow are cleared the viaduct’s bridge structure will need to be inspected for any damage, then the highway can be reopened to traffic.

Property owners with weather damage may get tax relief

News release

El Dorado County property owners who have suffered damages due to the recent rain and snow storms may be eligible for tax relief.

“The recent spate of winter storms have caused significant damage and in some cases, devastating losses,” states El Dorado County Assessor Jon DeVille in a news release. “I want to remind property owners that you may be eligible for property tax relief that could save you money on your taxes as you move forward.”

By filing a claim for misfortune and calamity relief within one year of the incident, properties that have sustained a minimum of $10,000 in damage or destroyed entirely may be eligible for a refund of taxes already paid and lower annual tax bills until the property is repaired or rebuilt. Claim forms for misfortune and calamity relief can be accessed by calling the county Assessor’s Office at (530) 621-5719 or visiting edcgov. us/Government/Assessor.

Also, DeVille encourages residents to use the county’s general information phone number (530) 621-5895 or the Office of Emergency Services website at bit.ly/EDCOES to get information about other services offered during the stormy weather.

Mouthguards For Oral Protection

A mouthguard protects your teeth, gums, tongue, and cheeks from trauma and injury. A mouthguard should be worn during contact sports and any athletic activity that puts your face at risk of injury. Mouthguards can also be worn at night to mitigate bruxism (tooth grinding). There are different options for mouthguards. Your dentist can make a mold of your teeth to create a custom mouthguard, which will be more comfortable and offer better protection. A custom mold can be made for either sports protection or bruxism prevention. Boil-and-bite mouthguards are molded to the shape of your teeth at home by boiling the mouthguard to soften it and then shaping it to fit your teeth while it’s still warm and pliable.

One of our basic philosophies is that our patients must recognize the need to take charge of their oral health and do what is necessary to prevent, arrest, or control their own dental conditions. We’ll work together as a team with you to achieve the long-term benefits that quality dentistry affords. From recommendations about mouthguards to routine well visits to major dental reconstructions, we’ve got your dental needs covered.

P.S. One size fits all mouthguards come ready to wear but rarely fit well and offer the least protection.
