March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and Tahoe Forest Health System is raising awareness in the community on the importance of getting screened for colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States- but it doesn’t have to be. Through screening, colorectal cancer is preventable and treatable, if caught early.
A colonoscopy is one of several screening tests for colorectal cancer. During a colonoscopy, precancerous growths can be removed before they even turn to cancer.
Talk with your primary care provider about when to begin screening for colorectal cancer and which test is right for you.
For more information about colorectal cancer screening or to schedule an appointment, call our Gastroenterology clinic at (530) 587-7698.

On Tuesday, the Tahoe Transportation District implemented fees to park near Lake Tahoe’s East Shore Trail in Incline Village. Always part of the Highway 28 Corridor Management Plan, the fee structure rewards early birds and night owls, costing anyone who parks 7-9 a.m. $1 an hour or free 7-11 p.m. From 9-11 it goes up to $3 an hour weekdays and $4 Friday through Sunday and then to $4 3-5 p.m. weekdays and $4 Friday through Sunday.

Spring fees are in effect until Memorial Day Weekend when summer rates begin. The district is the lead agency for the East Shore Trail Project, along with the Nevada Department of Transportation and a dozen other agencies.

PINE NUTS: Army Ants and Us ~ Army Ants know all about aggression. They think they invented aggression, and they will do it all day long for the queen. Sound familiar? Here’s how they wage their wars; first they bivouac, that is to say, they build a living nest with their bodies within a tree trunk or hole in the ground. Don’t ask me how they do that. Once they are organized into a big ball, the soldier ants, those with the big mandibles, patrol the surface of the bivouac and fight off aggressors.

We have an exciting speaker lined up for this Saturday at 2 pm. Her name is Janet McHenry and the topic is You are Loved. She’s an award-winning speaker & author of 24 books. We’d love to see your smiling faces in person or on zoom. Right now, we have a very low response and we think it’s because of the weather. If you are concerned about the snow on Friday, please contact Anne to get the zoom link to watch from the comforts of your home. Come join us!
Please contact Anne today to register at 775-831-0784 or apayne@thevillagechurchnv.org.

We are proud to host VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), a national program sponsored by the IRS that provides free preparation of federal and state tax returns for households with income under $57,000. The goal is to make quality tax preparation services available to low to moderate-income households so that they claim all of the tax credits they are entitled to and receive the largest refund or lowest tax bill they are legally entitled to, without having to spend limited financial resources on tax preparation fees.

APPOINTMENT REQUIRED. For more information or to make an appointment please call Tahoe Family Solutions at (775) 413-5145 or visit our office at 774 Mays Blvd. Suite 13, Incline Village.

Human Whisperers Radio is the broadcast arm of The Community School for Human Arts and the MAPPS Program. We think of our work as a social enterprise that strives toward a more equitable distribution of educational tools normally reserved for corporate human resources departments or personalized career coaches.

We are dedicated to lifting up diverse populations through our programs, not just in the United States but around the world. And we are guided by the fundamental belief that nurturing individual competence and resilience is key to our collective well-being, resulting in a healthier and more self-sustaining global community.

Our broadcasts are intended to create and promote a facilitative and inclusive dialog that we hope in return will encourage people to listen, learn and then seek action from a place of truthful shared awareness from which solutions can emerge. Our programs deliver a unique form of social and emotional education based on personal and professional development and through a process that promotes human well-being by expanding people’s capabilities to be and to flourish and gives them the power to generate employment + income.

We motivate individuals from diverse backgrounds to unearth their hidden talents for a harmonious path forward. In this process, they can discover their unique contribution to the world.
