Lake Tahoe Posts - Incline Village & Crystal Bay

As small local business owners, we believe in giving back whenever we can. Another recipient of our charitable giving this year is Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care in South Lake Tahoe, which helps wildlife from all around the lake and surrounding areas. This is a 27-acre facility made possible by the generous donations of locals. Since opening in 1978, this facility, with paid staff and volunteers, has successfully cared for and released over 15,000 wild birds and animals. We thought that this was a worthy effort to get behind.

Congratulations to the Norberg-Norton Family who welcomed Barton Memorial Hospital's first baby of 2022! Baby Sloan was born on New Year's Day, Saturday, January 1st, to parents Drew Norberg and Austin Norton. The family was presented with a wagon filled with gifts donated by local businesses, a tradition of the health care system and community to celebrate the occasion.

New year, new website! Lots more about the platform, products, and company we're building.

This past weekend, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Incline Patrol Deputies were called to perform a welfare check on 92-year-old Valia and her 94-year-old home-bound husband. The couple’s in-home nurse was unable to get to them because the home was snowed in. Deputies arrived to find the driveway covered with several feet of snow — and Valia’s car buried in snow. Using a very nice neighbor’s snowblower — Sergeant Colacurcio, along with Deputies Tone, Vacca, Simmons, and Raglen cleared Valia’s driveway and unburied her vehicle. Valia can now drive to the store for food and supplies, she and her husband’s home health nurse can ensure the couple’s safety, and emergency services (if needed) have access.

We have over 1000 fire hydrants within our fire jurisdiction. With the recent snowstorms and more on the way, you may see us out and about digging out fire hydrants.

“Can You Dig It” and adopt a hydrant closest to your home or business, keeping it clear of snow and debris? You will be helping to keep our community safe. We appreciate the members of our community who already maintain hydrants in their neighborhood and encourage everyone to participate.

Learn more and take a few minutes to fill out the online adoption form and make a hydrant near you a member of your family. Please email your form to TRancourt@nltfpd.net. Tag yourself in a photo using #AdoptAHydrant and share with us on our Facebook page and our Twitter page.

Dateline Afghanistan, where Afghans are in desperate need of a fix, a quick fix, and we can fix it. This new year might be the year that America emerges from having been the world’s top cop, to becoming the world’s top doc, and Afghanistan could be our first patient, as they are on a ventilator.

The New Year’s Botox Party
Dateline Saudi Arabia, where 40 Botox enhanced camels were recently disqualified from a beauty contest. Personally, I feel sorry for those camels, as I had a personal experience with Botox myself that I’m almost too embarrassed to talk about…

It all started when I received a telephone invitation to a New Year’s Bo-Sox party, and being a lifelong Boston Red Sox fan, I responded that I would be there in full uniform.

Happy Anniversary!!! On Sunday, December 26 the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office turned 160!

Cross-Country Skiing Returns to Nevada – In Our Backyard! Some years ago, IVGID groomed Nordic ski trails in the high country up in the Old Mt. Rose Highway-Chickadee Ridge area just a few miles outside Incline Village. When that ceased to be, only the most advanced Nordic skiers or most intrepid snowshoers could enjoy the delights – and workout! -- of skiing in our beautiful winter forests.

Until now. A coalition of snowshoers, fat tire bike riders, and Nordic skiers banded together to form Nevada Nordic (NN), a 501c3 non-profit organization, dedicated to opening the pleasures of our local winter wonderland to more than just a few hardy and experienced skiers.
