Muscle Powered: Citizens for a Walkable and Bikeable Carson City announced the “No Zombie Texting” award winners May 16 at The Brewery Arts Center, showcasing winning videos so the public could see the creative endeavors of young video artists from the community.
First place, winning $750, went to Team Petrova: Kasandra Medina-Torres and Gisela Vazquez. Their winning video will be distributed statewide to air on television and cable outlets.
Upon hearing her name announced as the winner, Medina-Torres, a freshman at Carson High School, said, “I am glad my teachers, Mr. Brady, along with Ms. Been, introduced me to this contest.”
Medina-Torres added, “I was very surprised because all the other videos were made so well, and it was easy to tell how much work everyone put into them.”
The video competition provided area high school students the opportunity to work individually or form teams to create an impactful 30-second video public service announcement to educate the people about the dangers of texting and driving as it impacts walkers and bicyclists.
Muscle Powered Executive Director Kelly Clark said, “I was amazed by their presentations; they are so smart and thoughtful.”
Second place, winning $500, went to Team Worm Boys: Samuel Johnson, Tristen Quintero, and Ethan Snyder. Winning $200 for third place was Team Ad, Ast and Alfredo: Alfredo Chissotti.
CHS English and Journalism teacher Patt Quinn-Davis said, “I was awestruck with the level of talent among the students who competed; those who won were so well-spoken and really serious about the problem of texting accidents, and they deserve all the congratulations possible."
As one of the teachers, along with Cynthia Mills of Digital Media, she was the high school contact for the competition.
CHS student and yearbook editor Lindsay Chowanski said, “The event was enlightening, to see how many people understand this is an actual problem and that students could relate to the problem by stepping forward to help fix it.”
The photo, from left to right, includes Bahar Jazani, Ethan Snyder, Bita Jazani, Gisela Vazquez, Alfredo Chissotti, Kasandra Medina-Torres, Lilly Edwards, Sophie Fliegler, Tristan Quintero, Cynthia Mills, and Patt Quinn-Davis.
About the competition itself, Kassandra Medina-Torres said, “I am grateful I got to share this experience with people I love; I left with a smile on my face that night, was able to learn more about my own surroundings, and am extremely appreciative to everyone who made this possible.”
Medina-Torres added, “I want to thank Kelly Clark and Muscle Powered for creating the contest.”
Swim Team
CHS sent nine swimmers to the State tournament in Las Vegas this past weekend: Leandra Blake, Morgan Nelson, Hannah Presley, Nicole Van Geel, Carlos Torres, Brett Kolb, Reece Canfield, Juan Brena Gutierrez, and Matteas Klatt.
Events included a girls 400 meter free relay, 50-meter free, boys 200-meter medley relay, boys 200-meter free relay, and Boys 400-meter free relay.
CHS freshman swimmer Brynn Prunty said, “Carson High was very successful at State last week; everyone was supportive of those racing and filled with excitement with the entire team cheering and shouting their lungs out during the relays; it truly was the best way to end the season.”
Fellowship of Christian Athletes
To ease the tension of preparing for finals week, FCA Adviser Ty McMillen initiated a team dodgeball event. The dodgeball tournament was held in the CHS Big Gym May 15 at lunch. It was free, of course, and each team consisted of six members.
Everyone had a blast, no one got hurt, and even the losers walked away smiling. Sadly, it was the last dodgeball event of the 2017-2018 school year.
GNCU Education Branch
Implemented in 2000, Greater Nevada Credit Union’s scholarship program is one of many ways GNCU gives back to the communities and "Help More People Live Greater."
This year, 30 scholarships were awarded. Julie Slocum, GNCU Education Branch Coordinator, awarded five of the $2,000 scholarships to CHS Seniors at the annual Salute to Scholars ceremony May 17 in Senator Square.
Congratulations to Jenaya Meyer, Jessica Preston, and Sara Knight (pictured) as well as Catheryn Linkul and Kalysta Branco.
Safe Grad
The 2018 CHS Safe Grad night and next-day-trip are fast approaching, and the organizers are reaching out to parents and guardians of CHS students to volunteer the evening of June 9 following graduation.
The doors of the Carson City Community Center open at 8:30 p.m. for the graduates, who must arrive at or before 10 p.m. as no one is allowed in after this time.
At 5 a.m., graduates get on some amazingly comfortable buses to head to Great America, and they will return Sunday night around midnight. The Safe Grad Program has been a tradition in Carson City for 29 years and provides the graduating senior class with a safe, fun, and sober celebration on graduation night.
The CHS Safe Grad Committee, Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, and local businesses and residents help sponsor the event. Safe Grad happens June 3-4 at the Carson City Community Center.
This event could not take place without the generous volunteers who make it happen, so please help. Interested? Volunteers help with bag check, food, games and activities, door monitoring, raffles, set-up, and clean-up.
Also, it is not too late to participate as a volunteer member of the CHS Safe Grad committee. Meetings happen the second Saturday every month at Remax Realty, 716 North Carson Street on the second floor.
Contact CHS Safe Grad Secretary Wendy Yang at 720-6160, President Kyra Hinton at 434-760-0635, or email carsonhighsafegrad@gmail.com.

One Night Only
It is free to attend, so come and see the fabulous CHS Blue Thunder Band concert May 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center.
The musical performance features the Concert Band as well as the award-winning Wind Ensemble and Midnight Blues Jazz Ensemble, both of which took home first place trophies at the recent Music in the Parks Festival.
The Yearbook is here
Another year and with that the introduction of the 2018 award-winning Carneta yearbook. It is time to offer congratulations to students, especially the ones whose parents and guardians want to leave a beautiful and timeless memory for them to access in the future.
Many former CHS students return looking for a copy of their yearbook, the one they never purchased, so buy one now.
The distribution and sale of the yearbook is May 23 beginning at 1:30 in the CHS Big Gym. Students picking up their yearbook must bring their receipt and a form of identification.
A yearbook holds memories, and more than 40 members of the publications staff will distribute those memories. They are proud of their work and they should be. Know any of the staff? Please give them a high-five for their achievement as this simple act means so much.
A few copies are still available for $85. Stop by before school, at lunch, or after school to room 136 to purchase a copy, or contact Adviser Patt Quinn-Davis, 283-1782, or email her at pquinn-davis@carson.k12.nv.us.
Enjoy this, Vol. 96 of CHS’s Carneta yearbook.

The 2018 CHS Senior Class Sunset is May 24 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. There will be a taco truck and a bounce house, and students will need a liability release form, located in the student store, for the bounce house.

An order form is needed, so please acquire one from the Main Office, the Student Store, or call Leadership Advisor and teacher Ann Britt at 283-1789, or email her at abritt@carson.k12.nv.us.
Athletes of the Week
CHS Athletic Department’s Athletes of the Week for May 14-18 are Brett Kolb and Morgan Nelson for Varsity Swim. These athletes, and all students who participate in school functions through leadership, clubs, and sports, deserve a high level of recognition and congratulations.
Student of the Week
The CHS Student of the Week is Jason Acosta Sandoval. He saw a teacher standing at a locked door as he was walking to another location in the school, and Jason went out of his way to open the door for that teacher.
Jason is the epitome of kindness, and according to one of Jason’s teachers, Tod Jennings, “Jason is willing to help anyone who needs it and encourages everyone to be the best they can be; he is an asset to his classes and Carson High School."
Senior Spotlight
This week’s Senior in the Spotlight is Daniel Beeston. Daniel has a weighted GPA of 4.23 and maintains that with a course load of several AP classes, as well as working toward an Honors, Advanced, and Career and Technical Education Diploma.
Daniel currently works as a tutor for the CHS Solutions program, tutoring students in various subjects, and he has a unique ability to make complicated material understandable for even the most reluctant learners. In June, Daniel will receive the Career and Technical Education Diploma in Engineering and Digital Electronics.
Passionate about his own edification, Daniel has built on what he learned through his classes at CHS, learning programming languages, robotics, and electronics in his free time as a hobby. He makes remote control cars, robots, and creates other electronics. He has done this with online lessons and tutorials.
Daniel will attend the University of Nevada, Reno, majoring in Computer Science. Carson High School is appreciative of the commitment and perseverance Daniel has displayed toward his education and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
Phil Brady is an English teacher at CHS.

The Carson Victory Rollers and Sierra All-Stars hosted a roller derby doubleheader bout Saturday afternoon inside the Carson City Community Center gymnasium in Carson City.
The Sierra All-Stars skated in the early bout against visiting Sin City Roller Girls. The Carson Victory Rollers, Carson City's hometown roller derby team, faced off against Sintral Valley Derby Girls in the nightcap.
The Nevada State Museum will be abuzz with activity on Friday, May 25 with behind-the-scenes tours, demonstrations of the historic Carson City Mint coin press, and a collaborative event with the American Legion.
“This is a great time of year to come to beautiful Carson City and visit the Nevada State Museum,” Museum Director Myron Freedman said. “Nevada’s history and culture is unique and fascinating, and we are kicking off the summer season with something for everyone.”
As part of the National Poppy Day Celebration, the museum is teaming up with the local American Legion post, in advance of Memorial Day. Participants can learn the importance of poppies for remembrance and learn about the American Legion family.
Visitors will have an opportunity to make paper poppies as part of the museum’s Poppy Project.
Members of American Legion Unit 4-Carson City and the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 4-Carson City will be at the museum sharing the story of the American Legion and National Poppy Day.
At the same time the museum will be asking visitors to make paper poppies to contribute to our Poppy Project goal of filling the Dema Guinn Concourse with paper poppies.
The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle following the publication of the wartime poem In Flanders Fields written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, M.D. He wrote the poem while serving on the front line during World War I to honor soldiers killed in battle.
The poppy making takes place in the Dema Guinn Concourse at the museum and is open and free to the public.
Meanwhile, at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., the museum is offering behind-the-scenes tours in natural history and anthropology.
Curator of Natural History George Baumgardner, leads groups through exhibits featuring plants and animals of Nevada, and into areas of the museum not usually accessible to the general public.
Curator of Anthropology Gene Hattori offers groups an up-close look at the state’s impressive Native American basketry collection, including baskets created by the famed Washoe basket maker Dat So La Lee.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., museum staff and volunteers will also be operating and sharing the history of the museum’s Historic Coin Press No. 1. The 150-year-old press operated inside the building when it was the U.S. Mint and produced millions of dollars in gold and silver coins.
Today, it presses special medallions. Visitors can purchase silver blanks in the museum’s store and have them minted on the coin press.
The Nevada State Museum is located at 600 N. Carson Street in Carson City. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
National Poppy Day Activities are free to the public. Admission for other programs at the museum are $8 for adults; free for museum members and ages 17 and younger. Contact Mina Stafford at (775)687-4810, extension 243 or mstafford@nevadaculture.org for more information.

"These students are well prepared when they leave Carson High School, and these scholarship awards are a testament to that," CHS Principal Tasha Fuson said. "We have students going on to military, technical schools, community colleges and major universities. We applaud all the local organizations and community support who’ve made a lot of these scholarships possible. The Class of 2018 has really embraced the opportunities available to them, and I couldn't be more proud. I am excited about their futures and what they will do after high school."

Soon it will be time to thin excess fruit on fruit trees according to my fruit tree guru, Michael Janik.
He writes “Thinning is an essential step in producing larger, tastier fruit and will also help prevent damage from insects.”
Of the common fruits, only cherries do not need thinning. Ideally, thin when the fruit is one-fourth to three-fourths of an inch in diameter. After the fruit is an inch in diameter, it is too late to improve fruit quality.
Michael pointed out a technique for thinning: “First lightly run your fingers over the fruit; a good number of the fruits will fall off as some fruits were not completely fertilized or the tree is selectively pruning itself. Then, remove any damaged/deformed fruits.”
Apples and pears form in clusters. Leave the largest fruit of the cluster and remove the others.
There are guidelines for the distance left between fruit: http://homeorchard.ucdavis.edu/8047.pdf
Another important topic Michael covered in his recent newsletter was pests, both insects and diseases. Many fruit tree pests are common in spring and summer.
Aphids, including wooly apple aphids, are likely. Root weevils, so-called because their larvae live in the roots of plants, will chew pinking shear-like edges on leaves.
Pear or cherry slugs, which are the larvae of sawflies, will rasp the tissue off leaves creating a lacy appearance.
Michael calls codling moths, “the most damaging pest of apples and pears.” The moths are the parents of the worms (caterpillars) that invade apples and pears.
For detailed information on codling moth go to http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7412.html or http://utahpests.usu.edu/ipm/htm/fruits/fruit-insect-disease/codling-mot...
Apples and pears are susceptible to a bacterial disease called fire blight. The signs of this disease are a watery, light tan ooze that comes out of small to large areas of dead bark and then turns into dark streaks on branches or trunks.
Flowers, shoots and/or young fruit can shrivel and blacken. Infected flowers and flower stems wilt and turn black on pear trees and brown on apple trees.
If you prune any of this damage, disinfect all tools with isopropyl alcohol or Lysol to avoid spreading this highly infectious, damaging disease from limb to limb or tree to tree.
For more information on managing fire blight see my publication: http://www.unce.unr.edu/publications/files/ho/2001/fs0156.pdf
Powdery mildew, a common fungal disease, can infect growth tips of limbs with a dull gray coating. Prune off the infected portion back to a branch or bud, dispose of the affected sprouts, and spray a disinfectant on pruning tools after use.

A 37 year-old Carson City man was arrested Saturday morning at 5:27 a.m. in the 7400 block of U.S. Highway 50 East for misdemeanor domestic battery, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
According to the report, law enforcement was dispatched to the area on a domestic dispute call. Upon arrival, the responding Sheriff's deputy could hear loud screams coming from a female at the residence.
A female was discovered sitting in the driver's seat of an SUV while a male subject was yelling at her from outside of the vehicle, the report said.
The deputy announced himself and directed the male subject to show his hands. He complied, and was detained in handcuffs for safety.
Both subjects were identified and queried. Per their accounts, the couple had attended a strip club together the night before and the male had been drinking. The female had left early for home and the male later called her for a ride.
When the female arrived to pick up the male, he was no longer at the location. He had apparently gotten a ride home from somebody else. This, and his level of intoxication, had upset the female and an argument ensued upon her return home.
The male reportedly became aggressive, grabbing the female by the neck and pinning her against the wall. She was able to break free after striking the male in the forehead with her phone, the report said.
But as she attempted to flee, the male grabbed her by the back of the shirt and tore it off, causing the female to fall to the ground. The male then grabbed the female again by the back of the neck and pulled on her hair, the report said.
At some point while yelling at the female, the male suspect then kicked her in the buttocks. She was able to finally flee outside of the house and barricaded herself in a vehicle, where she dialed 9-1-1.
The female was observed to have marks on the left side of her neck. The male had marks on his forehead and left shoulder. He appeared highly intoxicated to the officer and was not fully cooperative.
The male suspect was determined to be the primary aggressor in the incident and was taken into custody. He was transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $3,000.
In other arrests:
— A 31 year-old Carson City woman was arrested early Saturday morning at 1:11 a.m. in the area of Fairview Drive and East Fifth Street on multiple misdemeanor offenses, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy said, including leaving the scene of a crash, second offense driving under the influence (DUI), no valid driver's license, and an active warrant issued out of the Carson City Justice Court.
According to the report, a Sheriff's deputy responded to a report of a vehicle crash in the area. Upon arriving on scene, a red SUV with major front end damage at the Fifth Street roundabout.
Witnesses on scene identified the driver of that vehicle as the suspect in the crash. The suspect driver was observed to exhibit slurred speech and displayed red, watery eyes. Alcohol was smelled coming from her breath as well, the report said.
The suspect refused to perform field sobriety testing (FST), but a noticeable sway to her walk was observed as she was escorted over to the patrol unit, the report said.
She did consent to and submit a preliminary breath test (PBT), which yielded breath-alcohol content (BAC) of .223 percent.
Carson City Dispatch confirmed a revoked driver's license on the suspect from a prior DUI in January 2018 as well as an active bench warrant for suspended sentence violation issued by the Carson City Justice Court.
She was handcuffed and taken into custody at that point, transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $2,500.
— A 29 year-old Carson City man was arrested early Saturday morning at 3:02 a.m. in the area of U.S. Highway 50 East and Airport Road on misdemeanor first offense DUI alcohol, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
According to the arrest report, a Sheriff's deputy patrolling the area observed an unlicensed GMC pickup traveling eastbound at 55 miles per hour (mph) in a 40 mph speed zone, weaving within its lane and crossing the white line.
A traffic stop was made on the vehicle and the deputy made contact with the driver, who smelled of alcohol.
The suspect driver admitted to having consumed two beers and was headed home, the report said.
He consented to FSTs, which showed signs of impairment, as well as a PBT that yielded a BAC of .146 percent.
The suspect was handcuffed and taken into custody at that point, transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $1,000.
— A 25 year-old Sparks man was arrested early Saturday morning at 1:11 a.m. in the area of Interstate 580 and East College Parkway on misdemeanor first offense DUI alcohol, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
According to the arrest report, a Sheriff's deputy responded to the area on report of a vehicle driving all over the road and not staying in its travel lane.
A traffic stop was made on the suspect vehicle after it was observed making an improper left turn. The deputy made contact with the suspect driver, who displayed red, watery eyes on observation and smelled of alcohol.
He admitted to having consumed a beer while at work. The suspect consented to FSTs, which showed signs of impairment. A PBT was also consented to, yielding BAC of .093 percent.
The suspect was handcuffed and taken into custody at that point, transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $1,000.
— A Carson City man was arrested early Saturday morning at 12:45 a.m. in the area of North Curry Street and Fleischmann Way on misdemeanor criminal contempt and violation of bail conditions, a Carson City Sheriff's deputy reported.
According to the report, a Sheriff's deputy on patrol in the area observed a subject walking in the middle of the road way. He kept walking after looking behind him and seeing the patrol unit's emergency lights flashing. He continued walking and waved his arm even after the siren was sounded.
He did not heed verbal commands from the deputy, either. But the suspect was observed to have headphones in his ears, the report said.
As the deputy attempted to catch up to the suspect on foot, the latter began to run away. A foot pursuit ensued and the suspect was caught, detained in handcuffs.
The suspect was identified and Carson City Dispatch advised he was active on Carson City Department of Alternative Sentencing (DAS) probation with a no weapons possession condition.
A search of the suspect recovered a pocket knife. DAS was contacted and requested his arrest for violating the terms of probation.
The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Carson City Jail for booking. Bail: $3,000.
All information for the crime log (unless otherwise noted) comes from the arrest reports supplied by the Carson City Sheriff's Office, and is considered by law to be public information. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The policy of Carson Now is to name anyone who is arrested for a felony offense.

Growing up in Oregon's Willamette Valley, I had become accustomed to the occasional paper plant along the Interstate 5 corridor between Eugene and Portland.
The long, straight, boring car ride did become interesting at times. I would always perk up when I knew we were approaching the exit to Albany, because a massive paper plant was situated, quite literally, right along the freeway.
Once I spied it, I'd count down from 10 or 20 and get ready. Just when the tingle of an odor hit my nose, I held my breath until we had safely passed the spires billowing out their stinking steam and smoke.
That odorous plant left a lasting impression me, because to this day, I am somewhat obsessive-compulsive about conserving paper. Not that I have any real power to save a 4.5 billion year-old planet, but the more paper I can conserve, the less that's required to churn out of smelly, old paper plants.
As an office professional, I'm often looking for ways to save paper. Costs of packaged paper can add up quickly, after all, and I'm on a tight expense budget.
Microsoft Office offers some tools to avoid using excess paper when printing documents.
From the colored file tab in the upper left hand corner of MS Word or Excel programs, scroll down to the print function. You can select a number of options that meet your printing needs and fit contents on as few sheets of paper as possible.
There is the two-sided print function, selected from a drop-down when clicking on the one-sided default. That way, document contents will print on just half the sheets required of one-sided print jobs.
Sometimes simply changing page orientation can fit all of your data on one page. This works particulary well for MS Excel spreadsheets.
Another trick is to adjust your document's margins. The industry default is about one-inch on all sides of a print area. Consider narrowing these margins. This increases the print area of a document, so more contents will fit on a page.
If you are printing rough drafts for review, consider thumbnails instead of full size drafts. At the bottom of MS Word's print menu, you will see a default that says "one page per sheet." Click this and select up to 16 pages per sheet of standard business 8.5 by 11 paper.
Admittedly, that might be hard to read. But perhaps fitting 2-4 pages on one sheet will still allow its contents to be reviewed while saving paper.
Finally, the scaling function in the print menu of MS Excel is an effective way to fit tables of data on one standard sheet of paper that are normally too wide, too deep or both.
Scaling means to decrease or increase size by percentage. The Microsoft default is 100 percent, so if you have one column or row too many to fit on a standard sheet of paper, try reducing the scale just a little to squeeze that last bit of data into the print area.
Whether you endeavor to save the environment or the olfactory sense of others traveling near a paper plant, I encourage you to find ways that use less paper in your work. Wise paper management reduces waste and is more cost-effective to business.

A 77-year-old Yerington man has been identified in the officer involved fatal shooting Saturday night south of Carson City in northern Douglas County in which a Douglas County sheriff's deputy was injured.
The decedent has been identified as Jimmy Alan Moss. Details have emerged about the shooting, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. At 9:30 p.m. deputies responded to a report of a domestic dispute involving a weapon on Shadow Lane in northern Douglas County.
The victim, who sustained injuries, stated the intoxicated male suspect made threats to “kill the police” so deputies attempted to have the suspect exit the residence, said DCSO Sgt. Bernadette Smith.
The suspect exited the garage in a vehicle at a high rate of speed and struck a deputy. The deputies fired their weapons at the suspect as he struck one deputy with his vehicle, said Smith. The suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene. One deputy was injured and transported to Carson Valley Medical Center. He was released from the hospital and is undergoing treatment for multiple injuries.
Carson City Sheriff’s Office and Nevada Division of Investigation are conducting the investigation.
One sergeant and three deputy sheriffs have been placed on administrative leave, in accordance with department policy, said Smith.
The investigation is continuing.

What began as a very dry winter in the Lake Tahoe Basin ended with Sierra snowpack approximately 85 percent of normal, thanks to heavy precipitation received during the month of March. However, both the National Interagency Fire Center and the Reno National Weather Service expect a warming trend to develop that will lead to drier than normal conditions by late spring.
As a result, the below average snowpack is expected to melt faster, grasses and other vegetation are expected to dry out earlier and wildland fire activity is likely to increase to above average by mid-summer.
“Although we received a great deal of precipitation during the month of March, we are on track for an above average potential for significant wildfire activity this summer.” said U.S. Forest Service Fire Management Officer, Steve Burns. “It’s important to keep in mind that in the U.S., year-round fire seasons have become the new normal, which means for people living in fire-prone areas like the Tahoe Basin, wildfire preparedness is essential.”
Across the U.S., nearly nine out of 10 wildfires are human-caused with illegal and unattended campfires being the biggest source of human-caused wildfires. In 2007, an illegal, abandoned campfire was the cause of the Angora Fire, which burned more than 250 homes, 231 acres of private property and 3,072 acres of National Forest land near South Lake Tahoe.
The public can help the Forest Service and other fire agencies prevent these human-caused ignitions by learning where and when campfires are allowed and making sure campfires are completely extinguished using the Soak, Stir and Feel method before leaving.
On National Forest land in the Tahoe Basin, campfires are only allowed in designated campgrounds and never on the beach, in Desolation Wilderness or in the general forest. Go here and here for more information about campfire safety.
The Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team, which consists of the Forest Service and other state and local partners, has thinned and removed excess vegetation on more than 70,000 acres of National Forest and other lands around communities in the Tahoe Basin to reduce the threat of severe wildfire.
Forest thinning projects, also known as fuels reduction projects, are a top priority for the Forest Service and the TFFT and will continue to be implemented each year in the Tahoe Basin. In order to complement Forest Service and TFFT fuels reduction projects, there are important steps residents and communities must take to improve defensible space and community wildfire preparedness at Lake Tahoe.
Springtime in the Sierra is the perfect time to complete defensible space clean up around homes, review evacuation plans, sign-up for reverse 911 with cities and/or counties, contact local fire districts to schedule free defensible space evaluations, learn about free chipping services and talk to neighbors about the importance of wildfire preparedness.
The time to prepare for the next wildland fire is now. Permanent residents, second-home owners and vacation home owners/renters should familiarize themselves with and follow advice found at http://tahoe.livingwithfire.info/ and/or https://www.ready.gov/wildfires on how to prepare their homes and neighborhoods for the next wildfire. Remember it’s not a matter of “if” the next wildfire will occur, it’s a matter of “when.”
Another step toward wildfire preparedness is to sign-up for the Tahoe Network of Fire Adapted Communities (TNFAC) newsletter. TNFAC provides community members with education, communication and advice; facilitates collaboration between communities and stakeholders; helps communities organize events and neighborhood-level vegetation removal projects and tracks community accomplishments. For more information about the TNFAC program, contact Carlie Teague at 530-543-1501, ext. 114 or email cteague@tahoercd.org.
