Dateline Canada, where today’s most industrious landscape architects are the world’s
busiest beavers. Having been an Oregon Duck fan all my life, I really don’t buy much stock in
them buck-toothed beavers, though I do have a soft spot in my heart for the beavers of Canada.
By building cozy watery homes for themselves and their families, Canadian beavers are also
unintentionally washing out roads and flooding farmer’s fields, those little bucked-toothed
beavers.

Making the Giving Season Year-Round. Connecting With Tahoe’s Non-profit Community - As we approach November 30, 2021, Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation encourages the Tahoe Community to join the global movement of generosity. Giving Tuesday harnesses the power of philanthropy and asks the world to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Leading philanthropy in Tahoe for 25 years, Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation works with non-profit organizations to achieve their goals and make connections between donors and the causes they passionately support. These values led Parasol to create TahoeGives.org, the Tahoe Non-profit Directory designed to connect donors with their passion. The directory lists over 80 non-profit organizations providing services and programs including education, arts, health and wellbeing, environmental preservation, and community support. “We believe in connecting donors to causes they care about and encourage the community to give generously to our hardworking non-profit organizations on Giving Tuesday and throughout the year,” says Claudia Andersen, CEO of Parasol. Tahoe Gives makes it easy for you to navigate and connect with local non-profits and their missions. As Tahoe’s oldest and largest community foundation, Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation is a catalyst for advocating the power of philanthropy in the giving season and in all seasons.

I’m not a numbers person, but sometimes numbers add up in such a way as to make an impression, and now that I’m slightly older than Smokey Bear, I figure I’d better start doing something socially redeemable before it’s too late. With 33 years now of presenting Mark Twain, and 15 years of radio before that, and 21 years now as a columnist, I would have 69 years of interrelated experience to draw upon were I to produce a podcast before I pop-off. So with those numbers looming in my head, here we go with episode one…

Pet Station Signs Lease at 800 Tahoe Blvd, Incline Village Pet Station, a full-service pet company with 13 locations around the Reno/Tahoe Region, has leased the 4,300sf first floor at 800 Tahoe Blvd, Incline Village, Nevada.

CELEBRATE SAFELY DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY

First and foremost, as we all begin to prepare for the holidays, let’s take a moment to pause and give thanks. Thanks for our health, thanks for our families and friends and for celebrating special times with our loved ones.

As we spend more time in the kitchen with a lot of activity around meal preparations, remember to follow some simple safety tips so you can enjoy time with your loved ones and keep yourself and your family safe from fire.

According to NFPA, Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment. Take this opportunity to create activities that keep kids out of the kitchen – board games, puzzles, books can keep them busy and out of harm’s way. Here are some safety tips to think about leading up to this family holiday.

Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.
Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently.
Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot, and kids should stay 3 feet away.
Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy, or coffee could cause serious burns.
If you are considering using a turkey fryer, please do some additional research. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) discourages the use of these types of fryers for many reasons. Most of which, is the substantial amount of cooking oil used at high temperatures, pose a significant danger during the cooking process. Please refer to NFPA for more information.
Keep the floor clear so you do not trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks, or bags.
Keep knives out of the reach of children.
Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children.
Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle.
Test your smoke alarms and make sure all are working properly.
