KEEP YOUR PROPERTY LEAN AND GREEN TO HELP PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND HOME Creating defensible space is essential to improve your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It’s the buffer you create between a building on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs, or any wildland area that surround it. This space is needed to slow or stop the spread of wildfire and it protects your home from catching fire—either from direct flame contact or radiant heat. Defensible space is also important for the protection of the firefighters defending your home.

Defensible Space Zones Two zones make up the required 100 feet of defensible space.

Zone 1 Zone 1 extends 30 feet* out from buildings, structures, decks, etc. § Remove all dead plants, grass and weeds (vegetation). § Remove dead or dry leaves and pine needles from your yard, roof and rain gutters. § Trim trees regularly to keep branches a minimum of 10 feet from other trees. § Remove branches that hang over your roof and keep dead branches 10 feet away from your chimney. § Relocate wood piles into Zone 2. § Remove or prune flammable plants and shrubs near windows. § Remove vegetation and items that could catch fire from around and under decks. § Create a separation between trees, shrubs and items that could catch fire, such as patio furniture, wood piles, swing sets, etc.

Zone 2 Zone 2 extends 100 feet out from buildings, structures, decks, etc. § Cut or mow annual grass down to a maximum height of 4 inches. § Create horizontal spacing between shrubs and trees. (See diagram) § Create vertical spacing between grass, shrubs and trees. (See diagram) § Remove fallen leaves, needles, twigs, bark, cones, and small branches. However, they may be permitted to a depth of 3 inches.

Digital Banking: The Future Banking online is nothing new, but innovative technologies are becoming more readily available to aid the consumers with their money management. Even outside of the banking world, nearly every industry has been forced to modernize their technologies. Despite the fact that this electronic movement was in full swing before 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the value of having many different ways of conducting business and connecting online. In fact, data collected by Celerity in What we know now: The state of digital transformation today reported that "63% of leaders say COVID-19 made their organizations embrace digital transformation sooner than they had expected and were making greater investments in technology as a result."

Mobile Applications Everyone knows that convenience is becoming increasingly important, and there is nothing more convenient than being able to complete regular banking tasks with a tap of your finger. Most banks offer apps where you can transfer money, view your balance, pay bills, and even deposit checks.

These types of apps have been growing in popularity, but there is a push to increase the technological advancements in the mobile space. You are able to view your balance, view your transactions, and transfer funds, all from your cell phone.

Cardless payments More and more businesses are accepting digital payments. Because most people have smartphones, tap-to-pay options are becoming more common. Instead of sliding a credit or debit card, tech friendly establishments make payments easier with equipment that allows customers to simply tap their payment method on the card reader.

Cardless payments are gaining traction in American markets, as proven by data collected from instore payments. In 2020, cash transactions in the U.S. collectively totaled at $1 trillion, down from $1.4 trillion in 2019.

Digital wallets A digital wallet is an online software that securely stores users' payment information and is often paired with mobile payment technologies. This makes paying with your smartphone easier than ever before. If you are an Apple user, you may be familiar with Wallet. This is an app that comes with most Apple products and allows you to store payment options, like gift cards and debit cards. This is often called QR code-based mobile payments, and this transaction method is leading the charge into the future.

Digital banking is here to stay, and our options are seemingly unlimited with each new innovation brought to the market.

QUICK GUIDE Home Hardening Disclosure Law As of January 1st, 2021, certain sellers are required to complete a new home hardening disclosure to disclose to buyer certain aspects of the property that may be particularly susceptible to wildfire risk.

The disclosure contains a general notice about home hardening and requires the seller to answer questions specifying which home hardening features the home lacks that make the home vulnerable to wildfire and flying embers based on the seller's actual knowledge.

To assist sellers and agents in complying with this new legal obligation, C.A.R. has created a new form entitled, "Home Fire Hardening Disclosure and Advisory" (C.A.R. Form HHDA).

Home Hardening – What is it?

"Home hardening" refers to building resistant materials and home features that protect a home from catching fire.

Flying embers can destroy a home up to a mile ahead of a wildfire. This is why the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) urges all homeowners within fire hazard zones to make needed home hardening retrofits. For more information, please visit https://www.readyforwildfire.org/ New Disclosure Requirement: A Seller must provide Form HHDA if: • • • •

The property was constructed prior to 2010 The property is located in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone The property is a Residential 1-4 Unit Property (including condominium units and manufactured homes) NOTE: All of the standard exemptions under the TDS law apply. The most common include sales involving probate, REOs, foreclosures, bankruptcies and some types of trusts. See C.A.R. Legal Q&A "Transfer Disclosure Statement Exemptions" for a comprehensive list.

Determining Whether the Property is in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone There are three main options for making this determination: 1.

View the NHD Statement to see if either of the boxes pertaining to fire zones have been checked. If either of the boxes has been checked, it is safe to presume the property qualifies, and an agent may recommend that the seller fill out the home hardening disclosure. However, this may result in an overbroad disclosure since the box for wildland area forest fire risks include not only high or very high fire severity zones, but also moderate zones.

2. Seek the guidance of a reputable NHD reporting company. A representative of such a company may be able to point out specifically where within the NHD report it states which type of fire hazard severity zone, if any, the property is located in.

3. Cal Fire has made available a "Fire Hazard Severity Zone Viewer" (FHSZ Viewer) that will allow anyone to input the property address and determine which fire hazard severity zone, if any, that the property is located in.

The FHSZ Viewer is available at: https://egis.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ/. (NOTE: Buyers and Sellers may be provided with this link, but agents and brokers are advised against checking maps, or drawing conclusions based upon maps, for their clients.)

LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev. – In the summer and fall months, both bears and humans are active in the Lake Tahoe Basin, which means there is a lot to think about when living, visiting, or recreating in the area.

Food on barbecues and picnic tables brings curious bears into neighborhoods and campgrounds to investigate, making it very important to remember proper food storage at all times. Any attractant left out is accessible to a bear and could result in a food reward, which brings the bear back for future visits and makes that bear think it is okay to approach humans for food. Never leave any food unattended, and if a bear approaches, yell at the bear to try to get it to leave before it is rewarded. If you are unable to make the bear leave, there are resources who can respond and help. On U.S. Forest Service property, an employee of the campground may be able to assist you in moving the bear along and securing attractants. Likewise on state park property, park rangers can assist. If you are in a residential area, call 911 for a trained sheriff to come and move the bear away from the property.

If you have used a barbecue, grease and food bits left on the grill could be a snack to a hungry bear.

After you have finished cooking your own food, keep the grill fired up on high for about 10 minutes to burn off any leftovers to make it unattractive to a bear passing by. Make sure you clean up all food and place garbage in a secure wildlife-resistant container or bear box. Do not place food or garbage in your vehicle.

It is not natural or healthy for bears to forage on human food or garbage. This can cause injury to claws, teeth, and digestive systems. Whether intentional or not, it is illegal to feed bears, so do your part to follow the law and not provide access to human food or garbage.

Visitors to home rentals: If the bear locker is full, take your garbage home with you. Please don’t leave it next to the locker, bears will get the food reward before the garbage is picked up.

Businesses: Always keep your dumpsters locked, even during the day when employees may be accessing it frequently.

Campers: Bears will approach at all times of the day. Never leave your food or garbage outside of the bear box, except while attended and in use, and follow all campground rules regarding food storage.

Beachgoers: If you bring food to the beach, it must be attended to, and garbage must be thrown away properly. If all bear-resistant garbage containers are full, take your garbage with you so it is not available to bears.

The warm days and cool nights in the Tahoe Basin make us all want to open our windows to let fresh air in. However, as we let fresh air in, we let food smells out. Black bears in the Tahoe Basin know what food may be just inside the screen on your window or door. It is very important to make sure you close all windows when you are either away from a house or asleep at night. Bears know when humans are active or present and will take advantage of those quiet times to enter through a window or door to access a kitchen for easy food. Likewise, it is wise to lock your doors. Some bears know how to open doors and locking them is the only way to keep them from entering a home.

Living and recreating in the Lake Tahoe Basin’s bear country is a year-round responsibility.

Please do your part to help us keep our bears wild.

Here are more tips you can follow to help us keep Tahoe’s bears wild: • •

• • • • • •

• • •

Never feed wildlife.

Store all garbage in and properly close bear-resistant garbage containers, preferably bear boxes. Inquire with local refuse companies about new bear box incentives and payment programs. (Visit ndow.org/Nevada_Wildlife/Bear_Logic/ for more information.

Never leave groceries, animal feed, garbage, or anything scented in vehicles, campsites, or tents.

Be sure to always lock vehicles and close the windows. Keep in mind eating in the car leaves lingering food odors that attract bears.

Keep barbecue grills clean and stored in a garage or shed when not in use.

Keep doors and windows closed and locked when the home is unoccupied.

Vegetable gardens, compost piles, orchards, and chickens may attract bears. Use electric fences, where allowed ,to keep bears out. Refrain from hanging bird feeders.

When camping, always store food (including pet food), drinks, toiletries, coolers, cleaned grills, cleaned dishes, cleaning products, and all other scented items in the bear-resistant containers (storage lockers/bear boxes) provided at campsites. Bear-resistant coolers that come equipped with padlock devices should always be locked to meet bear resistant requirements.

Always place garbage in bear-resistant dumpsters in campgrounds or in bear-resistant containers at campsites (storage lockers/bear boxes), and close and lock after each use.

Store food in bear-resistant hard-sided food storage canisters while recreating in the backcountry.

Give wildlife space, especially when they have young with them.

To report human-bear conflicts: In California, contact the California Department of Fish and Wildlife at 916-358-2917 or report online using the Wildlife Incident Reporting (WIR) system at apps.wildlife.ca.gov/wir.

Non-emergency wildlife interactions in California State Parks can be reported to its public dispatch at (916) 358-1300.

In Nevada, contact Nevada Department of Wildlife at 775-688-BEAR (2327).

If the issue is an immediate threat, call the local sheriff’s department or 911.

Labor Day 2021 will occur on Monday, September 6. Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, street parades.

Time to Come Together … right now! This fun, casual event will be held mainly outdoors, so there’s plenty of room to spread out. We’ll have live music, food, drink, and awards to give out in six categories: Resiliency, Entrepreneurship, Innovator, Creative, Rising Star, and Stewardship. Times are challenging. Yesterday… all our troubles seemed so far away… now it looks as though they’re here to stay. No need to gently weep because we’ll get by with a little help from our friends. We can work it out -- all you need is love. Join us as we Come Together because that will only make it better, better, better, better!

Event Description: TRUCKEE TAHOE COMMUNITY CHORUS will perform The Truckee Historical Revue at Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City, NV on Sunday, September 5th, 2021. The Road Show recreates the hugely successful original production from May 2019 that traces the history of Truckee and surrounding areas, beginning with Native American days and culminating with the 1960 Olympics in Squaw Valley. It recounts truths about the Gold Rush, Silver Boom, Railroad Building, Boca Beer, Chinese and Irish immigrants, and Legends including the Donner Party.

Virginia City and Truckee are linked in history. Truckee shipped ice harvested from its ponds to cool the miners in Virginia City. Truckee timber was used to support mines in the Comstock Lode and was laid along the Virginia and Truckee Railroad line. Virginia City retains the magic of the Old West. Piper’s Opera House is the perfect venue to present the history of Truckee with original music, accompanied by a video collection of historic photos and images, and some 50 participants in period attire.

Revue stories and music were composed by Truckee Local David Wendell Nelson, with additional songs by Richard Blair, who will debut his new song “Ode to Virginia City”. McAvoy Layne will narrate the show as Mark Twain. Also appearing with TTCC and Richard Blair are local musicians, the barbershop group OK Chorale, and guest singers Owen Lee and Andy Zeng. TTCC Artistic Director Susan K Horst will conduct the performers.

Two shows will be presented at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Tickets will be available on Monday 7-19-21 at truckeechorus.org and at the door - if not sold out.

Don’t miss this entertaining and enlightening extravaganza!
