Can’t Breathe Easy?

How Nasal Endoscopy Can Help Imagine hiking the Tahoe trails but struggling to catch your breath through your nose. Or constant sinus infections keeping you from enjoying life. When nasal problems persist, it’s time to look deeper — literally.

What Is Nasal Endoscopy?

Think of nasal endoscopy as a camera tour of your nose and sinuses. Your ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist uses a thin tube with a tiny camera to see what’s causing your symptoms. The procedure happens right in the office and takes just minutes.

Both flexible and rigid endoscopes are safe and welltolerated when performed by an experienced doctor.

Why You Might Need One Your doctor may recommend nasal endoscopy if you’re dealing with: • Constant nasal blockage • Recurring sinus infections • Nasal polyps or growths • Frequent nosebleeds • Loss of smell • Cerebrospinal fluid leaks

The camera shows details regular exams can’t reveal, like where bleeding starts, tissue swelling, or whether a growth is a harmless polyp or something more serious.

More Than Just Looking Sometimes nasal endoscopy does double duty as treatment. Your doctor can remove foreign objects (common with kids), take tissue samples, or even perform minimally invasive surgery to treat chronic sinus issues, polyps, or tumors.

Chronic rhinosinusitis — inflammation of your nasal and sinus linings — is one of the most common reasons for this procedure. Your doctor can spot swelling and polyps and collect samples to identify infections and find the best treatment.

Breathe Easier Don’t let nasal problems slow you down. Whether you’re struggling with chronic congestion, frequent infections, or mysterious nosebleeds, nasal endoscopy helps your doctor see exactly what’s happening and how to fix it.

Alex Manteghi, DO, provides surgical and nonsurgical solutions for ear, nose, and throat issues in adults and children. Call 530.543.5815 or visit BartonHealth.org to learn more about services at Barton Ear, Nose, & Throat.

TOWNHOME ROOF SAFETY REMINDER:

Protect Our Warranty

CRITICAL WARNING: NO UNAUTHORIZED ROOF PENETRATIONS

Several of our townhome communities recently received a brand-new roof. These major investments come with a comprehensive 20-year manufacturer warranty.

This warranty protects all homeowners from expensive repair costs. However, any unauthorized roof penetration immediately voids the entire warranty for that roof section.

WHAT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED?

Any new penetration of the roof. Owners must utilize the existing vents and chases for all approved projects.

THE FINANCIAL RISK TO YOU

If a homeowner punctures the roof, the warranty is canceled. If a leak occurs later: • The individual homeowner will be held financially responsible for all repairs.

• The HOA will pass all related interior damage costs to that homeowner.

• Unapproved modifications will be removed at the owner's expense.

THE PROPER APPROVAL PROCESS

We understand the need for upgrades. Please follow these steps to keep your townhome community safe and compliant Submit an ACC Form: Fill out and submit an ACC Application before starting any exterior work. This can be submitted online, mailed in or dropped off at the TKPOA office.

Thank you for your cooperation in preserving our community property and helping keep our association fees low.

I will be happy to send you a vendor list and the appropriate ACC application to help you get started correctly.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

By Dave Peterson Lianne and I very much appreciated all that it means to have celebrated our 250 years of Independence. We are fortunate to live in a great country which was won, defended, and improved by a host of people that refused to outsource citizenship. Many of you came to the Keys this year to celebrate as well. It was a wonderful holiday in Tahoe Keys!

Board meeting. No determinations have been made regarding whether coves 3b and 4 constitute a health and safety threat, so we don’t know whether those will be funded by special assessments (requiring member vote), or emergency special assessments (no vote).

Common Area Lot Sale. We expect to open bids from members in good standing for the common area lot at 2069 Slalom Court at the August board meeting.

Venice Tennis Court. Construction has been completed on improvements to the sport court at Venice and Drinking Water. Haen Construction has been awarded Emerald. The court has been set up for one tennis court both the pipeline and well site projects, and is at work and 2 pickleball courts. A number of neighbors have on preliminary paperwork; contracting, bonding, and concerns about increased noise associated with pickleball, submittals. Physical work should start in August. For the so will limit hours to 9-5 and require soft paddles and well site project, we are working to resolve a “coverage” balls. We will see how this works for the rest of 2026 and issue that is holding up the TRPA permit, but expect to go from there. have that behind us soon.

Budgeting. No update.

Replacement, the 3rd R. Once an agency has constructed a civil works infrastructure project, good practice calls for subsequent annual budgeting of OMRR&R, which stands for operation, maintenance, repairs, rehabilitation, and replacement. However, very few public agencies actually do budget for all of those elements. In fact, most budget for just O&M and repairs. Then they beg for State or Federal dollars to cover rehabilitation or replacement.

Begging is not a reliable strategy. As you read in the paper, infrastructure is aging and failing in cities nationwide. The aging is wholesale and endemic, especially in the older eastern cities.

subdivisions. Those budgets and balance sheets are kept strictly distinct and separate. When reserves are insufficient to fund a needed project, we turn to special assessments, which require a vote of the affected members, or emergency special assessments when there is a health and safety risk or mandatory charge like a legal judgement.

People ask why assessments are so high. It’s because we are a 60-year-old community that is having to address our replacement liabilities all at once without a state or Federal handout. We are confronting the dreaded 3rd R.

Pavillion Changes? A current survey posted on Nextdoor

COMMON AREA IRRIGATION SCHEDULE

At the June 17th, 2026, Board meeting, the Board of Directors approved a revised irrigation schedule for the Association’s Common Areas. This revised schedule supports maintaining common area landscaping and limits common area irrigation during member property irrigation time periods to support the limited capacity available from TKPOA’s water wells.

These schedules comply with TKPOA Operating Rules: Section 10 Water Conservation Rules for Landscape Irrigation for all TKPOA Water Serviced Properties and Commercial Customers of the Tahoe Keys Water Company.

This Operating Rule extends to all TKPOA Common Areas, all Cove Townhome landscaping, all Single-Family home landscaping, and commercial water customer properties landscaping.

Landscape irrigation of lawn, turf, and plant material including shrubs, flowers, trees, and foliage is allowed in accordance with these Irrigation Schedules which are required by the limited capacity available of TKPOA’s water wells and TKWC Water Service.
