Tahoe Weekly celebrates our 40th anniversary! Feb. 18 marked Tahoe Weekly’s 40th anniversary. Tahoe Weekly's first edition in 1982 featured a photograph by Vance Fox of a skier cliff jumping near the horse trails in Olympic Valley. The cover for this 40th anniversary edition out on stands until March 8 is a nod to that first cover featuring Chuck Patterson in the Tahoe back country photographed by Matt Bansak. The magazine is still locally owned and operated.

Take a look back at some favorite Tahoe Weekly covers through the decades in each print edition in 2022, @TheTahoeWeekly on Facebook and Instagram and in the monthly newsletter (different covers are featured on each platform).

Read about Tahoe Weekly's history and some exciting news for our readers in the current edition or at TheTahoeWeekly.com.

Incline Education Fund is thrilled to announce that the recent Incline Elementary School (IES) Makerspace Drive is a success. With the generous assistance of local businesses including Tahoe Lending-Cardinal Financial, State Farm Insurance Agent Britney Bladel and Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa & Casino along with local service/advocacy groups Rotary Tahoe-Incline, Rotary Club of Incline Village and AAUW Tahoe-Nevada and also joined by the Incline Elementary School PTA and additional charitable donor support, Incline Elementary students will now have a fully equipped makerspace.

Thanks to the outpouring of local philanthropy during the makerspace drive, the Incline Education Fund was also able to successfully apply for the recent Nevada Office of Science and Technology (OSIT) Northwestern Nevada Regional STEM grant. Community support for the IES makerspace was a leading factor in acquiring the recently announced $17,873.00 award.

With initial seed funding from the Incline Education Fund, the IES makerspace opened this fall. With a semester of makerspace classes complete, Incline Elementary School Principal Dan Zimmerman noted that the school has already noticed a positive improvement in students across the board. "The students are showing a greater degree of individual problem solving capability and ability to work successfully within a group dynamic." After the documented learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is excellent news indeed.

Envision Tahoe - Community Survey Results - The Community Survey results are in and reflect the importance of diversifying the regional economy, the need for more local worker housing, and that outdoor beauty and recreation opportunities are the reason we’re all living in Lake Tahoe. 1,799 of you contributed your time to this important community survey, completed in English and Spanish, in January. A few highlights of the survey:
* 63% of the community feels that things in Lake Tahoe are on the wrong track (which, sadly is similar to the national polling sentiment completed in January.)
* 73% feels that the lack of stable housing options is the biggest threat to locals’ quality of life, followed by traffic congestion/lack of transportation (61%), wildfires/smoke (58%), and too many vacation rentals/second homes (54%)
* And, no surprise, 79% of you felt that the highest or very highest priority for a solution should be to expand and promote economical housing opportunities for the local workforce.

Fortunately, this is a critical need in our community and one that relates directly to economic and community development moving forward. We recognize that economic diversification and supporting our core industry of Tourism can’t happen without housing for local workers.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Sierra Nevada University (SNU) opened its doors in 1969 with just 23 students enrolled. Over 50 years later, administration is preparing for the final steps before the complete acquisition of the school by University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) in July of 2022. ... “Our primary focus for the next three and half years is to teach out the SNU students that are still here,” said Dr. Heaton. “We do acknowledge that as time progresses, you get fewer and fewer students, so we do have a plan to bring students to this campus.”

There's still great weather for flying. With snow in the mountains, clear skies and light winds this has been a spectacular winter for flying Tahoe. Heated clothing provide a warm and cozy experience. Here we have low and high views of Zephyr Cove.

Submitted by Milt Hymes, IHS We the People Instructor: I want to celebrate the 13 that dared! Once again, our small school competed with skill against seven other schools in the NV state competition. While we will not be advancing to the next level, the learning that occurred this year is as great as we have seen.
With the adversity of the past two years, the coaches and I created a space where collaboration and intellect were celebrated, where hard work reflected growth, and where grit and teamwork were a source of pride. With enthusiasm, our students presented to scholars from around the country - educators, judges, law school professors, and historians challenged our students to craft and defend complex arguments about challenges in our republic, and our students shined!
This environment for growth is not due to just one or two people (Amy Henderson and I) - it takes a village! The contribution from our coaches and community to that learning environment is something for which I am grateful.
