North Tahoe Leaders Discuss Issues Facing Communities, Residents - by: Miranda Jacobson/Tahoe Daily Tribune
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Local leaders of nonprofits, agencies, educators, churches, and services clubs joined together on Wednesday, April 13, to discuss the complex issues that are facing the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.

The Washoe Tahoe Community Collaborative Summit, hosted by Incline Village Crystal Bay Community and Business Association Executive Director Linda Offerdahl, brought together leaders at the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation building in Incline Village.

Those in attendance included representatives from Washoe County, the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, Sierra Community House, educators including Incline High School Principal Tierney Cahill, staff from Pet Network, IVGID representatives, and more.

Leaders from all over the North Shore were able to gather in Incline Village to identify key issues in the communities through open and clear communication.
“It was really gratifying today to see our leadership come together with our local IVGID government, our nonprofits, our service providers like Sierra Community House, Boys and Girls Club, Tahoe Family Solutions, along with our faith based community,” said Offerdahl following the three hour summit. “Those big issues [facing the community], there is no longer a ‘they.’ Now it is a collective ‘us’ that will try to address these greater issues.”

Multiple groups were tabled together to address the core branches of the community, which included education and childcare, housing and food, family services, health and wellness, safety, adult and senior services.

PINE NUTS: A World Worth Saving - There’s a loose cannon out there who thinks as little of his fellow man as his fellow man thinks of him. Oh, and by the way, did we mention, he happens to have 6,257 nuclear weapons within reach of his fingertips, about 30 for every country in the world, were he to choose to distribute them fairly, a thing not likely to happen.

Sphere of influence is what is driving him in Ukraine. “Come home to Mother Russia, stand tall, be proud to be counted as Russian, or I will have to shoot you.”

PINE NUTS: Love Your Mother
Reason suggests that if nature exhibits symmetry and design, nature must have a designer, so mankind has been kept pretty busy over the ages crediting that design to various deities and creators. Were I superintending, I would give full credit to the rightful designer, the original creator, our dear mother herself, in all her glory, Mother Nature.

Well, help is on the way. In a paper published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers are discovering that nature produces symmetry because it’s easier to follow the building blocks of symmetrical genetic code than it is to produce and follow asymmetry.
