Electric scooters (e-scooters) may be a cost-effective and convenient way to navigate a new or familiar city, however, every summer there is a significant increase in emergency department patients presenting with injuries from e-scooters. Injuries happen most frequently to upper and lower limbs, as well as the head and the neck, all of which can have severe consequences. Follow these safety tips to help ensure a safe ride.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — New dining options have opened on Lake Tahoe’s North Shore.

A lakefront restaurant, The Nest Bar & Grill, and a seasonal Italian food concept called Dondero’s, which is available throughout the summer, has opened in the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino in Incline Village.

The resort’s Cutthroat’s Saloon is also debuting a new dining menu.

“We are very excited to introduce The Nest Bar & Grill and Dondero’s restaurant at Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe,” said Tyler Stirrett, director of operations at Hyatt. “The new outlets will complement and enhance the incredible dining experience already available on-site, and we look forward to welcoming our guests and local residents for an unforgettable meal backdropped by our beautiful location here in North Lake Tahoe.”

The Nest Bar & Grill is located on the resort’s private beach near Lone Eagle Grille. The open-air seating showcases the location with panoramic views of the lake. It provides lunch service between noon-5 p.m. and dinner service between 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m. with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Chief’s Corner: Water safety is key at Tahoe (published in the Tahoe Daily Tribune July 2022)
Summer is in full swing here at Lake Tahoe. Whether boating, paddleboarding, swimming, or kayaking on the lake, water safety is particularly important especially with the colder temperatures. The average water temperature in Lake Tahoe in July is 65.7 degrees.

When boating on Lake Tahoe it is recommended to always wear a life jacket. While regulations on life jacket use vary from state to state, the Wear It program, promotes boating safely by encouraging boaters to wear life jackets any time they are on a boat, motorized or non-motorized.

The National Safe Boating Council recommends following the “Boating Safety Seven.”
*Wear your life jacket
*Take a boating safety class
*Carry all required safety gear
*Use your engine cut-off switch
*File a float plan
*Be aware of weather and water conditions
*Boat sober, and be considerate of others

Good swimmers still need life jackets. When people fall off a boat, they may become disoriented, injured, or unconscious. Life jackets can keep victims’ heads above water so they can breathe and be rescued more easily.

There are many styles of lifejackets, choose the right one for the activities you will be doing. Make sure the life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved and that it fits correctly for your size and weight and is properly fastened. If you are paddle boarding, in addition to wearing a life jacket, please remember to fasten the safety leash to your ankle so you are always attached to it. In the event of a fall, the paddle board can serve as an extra floatation device.

Before setting out, be prepared. Check to make sure that all equipment is in good working order. Review a pre-departure checklist and that you have everything you need such as a tool kit and first-aid kit. File a float plan with someone you trust before you leave. Dress properly and bring an extra set of clothes. Remember to wear and bring sunscreen. It is also a good idea to check the weather before heading out. Lake and wind conditions on Lake Tahoe can change rapidly, leading to dangerous conditions for smaller vessels and paddle craft.

No matter what your activity of choice, exercising good judgement, respecting your limits, and keeping within your limits will keep you and those around you safe. Recreate responsibly.

Duffield Foundation invested in Incline Village High School
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — For the fourth consecutive year, the Dave and Cheryl Duffield Foundation has contributed towards the competency based learning and personalized education plans that Incline High School has implemented.

The purpose of CBL is to advance students individually rather than the class in tandem. Nevada Department of Education uses a Carnegie unit system which is based on credit hours. Students are required to achieve 120 hours of seat time to get the credit for the classes.

“Incline High School has been a pilot NDOE school for competency based learning for the past three years,” said Principal Tierney Cahill. “Our teachers were paid an hourly stipend for work completed outside of their contract hours, to develop CBL units of study, proficiency rubrics and assessments. Since the state has not yet codified CBL into legislation, we are continuing our work with CBL conceptually, but have moved to personalize IHS through setting up internships for students in areas of interest.”

As Cahill enters her second year as principal, the students will see shifts on campus in the relationships with the staff. The first week of school students will be introduced to Rise week. Cahill describes this as an orientation week. One that is designed to learn about each student, assign advisors based on student interests, build relationships, resilience and prepare them for the rigor to come.
