Protein 101: What Your Body Needs

Along with carbohydrates and fats, protein is one of the three macronutrients our bodies need every day. Each gives us energy, but protein plays a special role in keeping our bodies strong and healthy.

Why Protein Matters

Protein helps build and repair tissues like muscle, skin, bones, and hair. It also helps your body make hormones, enzymes, and antibodies which support your metabolic health and immune system. Because of these important jobs, getting enough protein each day is essential.

Everyone’s protein needs are a little different. Age, activity level, and overall health can all affect how much you need. The general recommendation for adults is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. This amount usually works for people who are less active.

Adults who are more active — like many people living in the Tahoe region — may need more. Pregnant women and adults over 50 years old also have higher needs. These groups may benefit from 1.1 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. Spreading protein across all meals and snacks helps the body use it best.

Protein should make up about 10–35% of the calories you eat each day. For someone eating about 2,000 calories per day, protein intake usually ranges from 50 to 175 grams per day.

Protein in Foods

You can find protein in both animal and plant foods. While many packaged foods now boast added protein, it’s best to meet most of your needs with whole foods.

Here are some common sources:

• 3 oz cooked poultry, meat, or fish: 18–26 g

• 3 eggs: 18 g

• 1 cup Greek yogurt: 22 g

• 1 cup cottage cheese: 18 g

• 8 oz cow’s or soy milk: 8 g

• 1 cup cooked lentils, chickpeas or black beans: 13–18 g

• ½ cup tofu: 9 g

• 2 oz cooked whole wheat pasta: 8–10 g

• 1 oz nuts or 2 Tbsp nut butter: 7 g

• ½ cup quinoa or farro: 4 g

• ½ cup potato, corn or peas: 2–3 g

Balanced Meals

A meal with 3–4 ounces of cooked animal protein, plus whole grains or starchy veggies and a garden salad, will give you around 30 grams of protein. A vegetarian meal can also provide about 30 grams of protein. For example, try 1 cup of beans, 1 cup of cooked quinoa, and a garden salad with nuts.

Choosing leaner animal proteins — like fish, shellfish, skinless poultry, eggs, and non‑fat dairy — can also help keep saturated fat lower for overall health.

Protein needs vary from person to person. A registered dietitian can help you find the amount that’s right for your body and lifestyle.

TKPOA TOWNHOME OWNERSINSURANCE DISCLOSURE

Please review the Annual Disclosure in regards the Keys property protection insurance policies and take note of the $50,000 deductible contained therein for the property policy. This relates directly to TKPOA Townhomes and Property Owner vs. Association responsibility.

First, keep in mind that our townhomes are not “condominiums”. Condominiums are a type of shared structure where owners have less responsibility for the cost of repairs to their units. Townhomes are essentially homes on individual lots and owners have more responsibility for the cost of repairs for everything inside their unit from the walls in, as described in the CC&Rs.

Second, the Association obtains comprehensive property insurance, as described in the Annual Disclosure, but that insurance currently includes a $50,000 deductible. As a result, Townhome Property Owners can be responsible for the cost of repairs of up to $50,000.

To cover yourself for any losses up to $50,000, we recommend you contact your insurance agent to make sure the " Loss Assessment" part of your HO6 policy has at least $50,000 of coverage.

How do Claims within the Townhomes Work?

In the event of a loss within a Townhome, the CC&Rs define who, the Association or individual Townhome Owner, is responsible for the loss. There are instances where an individual owner would be responsible for the loss and would either file a claim with their individual insurance policy or would be responsible to pay for the Association's policy deductible.

To protect each Townhome owner, it is important that they are aware of this potential

liability and that they obtain an individual H06 policy that would provide coverage to cover the cost of damages and/or insurance deductible that would fall under their responsibility per the CC&Rs.

For example - per TKPOA’s CC&Rs, an interior water leak is the responsibility of the individual Townhome unit owner. The Association's insurance policy does have coverage for this loss and would cover the cost of damages less the deductible, however, if the Association's policy was utilized in this event to file a claim, the responsible owner would be required to pay the cost of the deductible, which is currently $50,000.

In most situations where the individual owner is responsible for the loss, it is more beneficial for them to utilize their individual policy as their deductible will most likely be lower than the Association's policy. However, if the Association's policy is utilized, and the owner must pay the $50,000 deductible, they could also file a claim with their H06 policy to cover the cost of that deductible for them (if they have this coverage).

In the event that a loss is the responsibility of the Association per the CC&Rs, then the deductible or cost of damages below the deductible, would then be paid by the Association through the Townhome Subdivisions Operating or Reserve funds. First and foremost - the CC&Rs define responsibility and who pays for the damages, either through an insurance claim or out of pocket.

If you have any questions, please contact Operations Manager Heather Blumenthal at heather.blumenthal@fsresidential.com or (530) 542-6444 ext. 228.

LIGHTHOUSE SHORES PEDESTRIAN GATE AND BEACH ACCESS

By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager

As the warmer weather moves in, we would like to remind all TKPOA Property Owners of the rules associated with the use of the pedestrian gate at Lighthouse Shores (LHS) Lot C and Lot A. Through recent Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) patrols and reviewed security camera footage, there have been violations of the Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement by TKPOA Property Owners and their guests in violation of the following:

• Bringing dogs into LHS on or off leash.

• Not securing bicycles on the bike rack near the pedestrian gate entrance

• Allowing Guests or Vacation Renters to use their TKPOA Member Amenity Access card for access to LHS Lot C without the immediate presence of the TKPOA Member

• Trespassing on the adjacent LHS Properties

THE RULES

The rules are straightforward.

TKPOA Members should observe the following provisions pursuant to Superior Court Case SV-920066:

• TKPOA Members with a valid TKPOA Member Amenity Access card and guests in the immediate presence of their sponsoring member will be permitted access. Access is only permitted to TKPOA property owners using their photo Member Access card issued by TKPOA. This card is not transferrable; it is not to be loaned or used by anyone other than the property owner to whom it is issued. If you have lost your card or wish to have another one issued, please visit the Pavilion office.

• There are no dogs or bicycles allowed, no exceptions. This is clearly posted on the gate and there are bike racks inside the gate.

• Access through this gate is allowed from 7:00AM9:00PM except during the summer, during which time the hours will be extend to 10:00PM

NO DOGS

No Dogs or other pets allowed in LHS. Please remember dogs must be on leashes throughout the TKPOA per El Dorado County Ordinance Title 6 – Animals, Chapter 6.04. General Provisions, Section 9.46.600. For the safety of your dog, TKPOA members and their guests please keep your dog on a leash. Dogs are welcome on their leash at the Pavilion Beach area.

NO TRESPASSING

When entering through the LHS pedestrian gate, you are on Lot C which is a narrow lot with Pope Marsh on the left and private residences on the right. TKPOA does not own the properties to the right of Lot C. This is private property and the No Trespassing law per California Penal Code 602PC applies. The City of South Lake Tahoe Police Department will be called for trespassing on these properties. The TKPOA has clearly marked the property lines on the right of the lot. The left side of the lot has a chain link fence all the way down to the beach on the Pope Marsh side.

Lot C can be used to access Pope Marsh on the left, however access to the beach on the right is prohibited as this is private property and to do so is considered trespassing (CA 602PC). Access to the right is also a dead end at the West Channel Bulkhead. During Lake Tahoe high water events there is typically no Public Trust beach access. To access Lot A at the end of the LHS roadway at the West Channel Bulkhead, you should walk down the LHS paved roadway.

Pursuant to the Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement the TKPOA is responsible for the maintenance and security obligations in enforcing this judgement, and at this time the enforcement of these violations including trespassing violations on the adjacent LHS property will be pursued. Based on TKPOA Enforcement Patrols and pedestrian gate Member Card reader identification system, the TKPOA has issued warning notices and in some cases, fines, to those members in violation of the LHS Gate Access as specified in the Superior Court Case Judgement. The TKPOA Board of Directors will continue to utilize the Member Discipline process in accordance with Civil Code Section 5855 and TKPOA Bylaws Article VI, Membership Rights Section 5, Article IX, Duties and Powers of the Board Section 1(r), and TKPOA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) Article XII, Breach or Default, Section 6 (a-f), to enforce this Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgement, related governing documents, and rules.

The LHS pedestrian and vehicle gates are under continuous surveillance and all TKPOA Amenity Access Cards are recorded for gate use tracking. Once the violations are identified with the responsible Property Owners through the Member Discipline Hearing process, TKPOA Property Owners could face their individual and property Amenity Access card access privileges suspended, and/or potential fines.

The TKPOA is requesting that all property owners please respect these rules so that we can all continue to enjoy this privilege of accessing Lot C and Lot A. Continued violations and flagrant abuse of these rules could result in legal claims against the TKPOA and potential gate closures.

For additional questions please contact the TKPOA Front Desk at 530-542-6444, Monday through Friday 8:30AM-4:30PM, Saturday through Sunday 10:00AM2:00PM. Additional information is also available on the TKPOA Website www. tkpoa.com, or contract TKPOA Enforcement Patrol at 530-545-0847.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

By Dave Peterson

Summer is well underway, and vacationers are flocking to Tahoe. It is peak season, so please have patience with all the people in town to share this great place.

Monthly update:

Drinking Water. In spite of having 8 contractors at the pre-bid meeting for the two projects, we received just one bid for the well building and one for the pipelines project. Fortunately, the combined bid amount was less than the combined engineer’s estimate, so the board awarded both projects to Haen Construction, who has done a lot of good work for TKPOA.

Side note: Unfortunately, we have a reputation as a difficult client due to excessive member “engagement” during projects. Contractors talk, and word gets around, and contractors choose to bid elsewhere. Please treat all contractors with respect and manners; they work hard, and static isn’t helpful. If you have a beef with a TKPOA contractor, please take it up with our GM, Hallie Kirkingburg.

The well drilling contract is coming to a close, and well testing was successful. The well was spooled up to 3,000 gallons per minute with a 93’ drawdown (the localized dip in the water table due to friction loss of water moving through sediments toward the well), so our design capacity of 2,000 gpm will be easily achieved. And water quality testing showed all contaminants below State regulatory levels. The test well pipeline, soundwalls, and other

temporary facilities will be removed by early July, making room for Haen to mobilize for the well building project. We will meet with Haen and the engineer early in July to discuss “value engineering” ideas to save time, money, and disruption. Often the contractor has great ideas how to do things better, and we want to capitalize. Things are going very well on the project so far.

Completion of the pipeline and well building are scheduled for October 2026, and early summer 2027, respectively.

Bulkheads. The board is contemplating whether condition of any or all of the Cove 3b, 4, and 5 bulkheads is a risk to health and safety sufficient to warrant an emergency special assessment. If so, the board would assess an ESA without a member vote for those segment(s). Those not representing a health and safety risk would go out for a regular special assessment vote by the affected cove(s). The board should be discussing this at the July or August meeting.

The St. Moritz bulkhead committee led by Alan Nicholson is nearly ready to release their report to members. I serve as the board liaison to the committee. The draft must first endure legal review to make sure the report implies no legal, engineering, financial, or other expert advice, then it will be ready for distribution. The primary recipients will be St. Moritz Isle members, but it will be posted on the website for all interested members.

Kids Sailing. Unfortunately, it is looking like the sponsors will not be able to meet our insurance

requirements, so the program will not happen at TKPOA. However, Suntex agreed to host the program at the marina. It will be a great program!

Common Area Lot Sale. TKPOA is soliciting bids from members in good standing for the common area lot at 2069 Slalom Court. You should have all received the solicitation in the mail. The minimum bid is $200,000. Please note the use restrictions in the adopted policy, which is included in the mailing. Those restrictions will be recorded on the deed before transfer.

Venice Tennis Court. Work has begun on construction of the removable interlocking tile repair of the sport court at Venice and Emerald. The court will be set up for one tennis court and 2 pickleball courts. A number of neighbors had concerns about increased noise associated with pickleball, so the board instructed staff to investigate sound mitigation. We expect more info at the next meeting.

Boat Sticker Program. We expect this to come back to the board at the July meeting.

Budgeting. The Finance Committee has begun the annual budgeting process. The committee, GM, and controller “own” this process, and reach out to the board for input at various stages. The last bit of data to arrive is the coming year’s insurance quote, which is usually in late September or October, then the budget is submitted for board approval. Finance committee meetings are noticed on the TKPOA website, and are open to all members.

East Channel Dredging. Suntex informed us in late June that their dredging project has been cancelled due to bulkhead constraints in the channel. They will focus on the lake interface jetty in the coming years, as they feel the current configuration aggravates sedimentation from the Truckee River. But for the next few years, we should not have the constraints on access associated with a dredging operation.

TKBHA Communication. A number of TKPOA members are also members of the Tahoe Keys Beach and Harbor Association (TKBHA), which primarily manages a marina on the east channel off Venice Drive for properties without boat access to the lake through the west channel. Oddly enough, the parcel of land upon which most of the TKBHA marina sits is owned by TKPOA, and the sign at the entrance says it is for the exclusive use of TKBHA. Many TKBHA members rent their boat slips for a profit. Yet we receive no rent for use of this common area parcel. It seems an odd arrangement, no?

A recent communication to all TKBHA members described a lawsuit they have filed against TKPOA, which placed us in a pretty bad light. I have read the communication. It leaves out some important details.

In about 2024, TKBHA contacted us to request that we not over-winter our harvesters at the west end of their parking lot. This spurred us to try to gain an understanding of the rights of TKPOA and TKBHA on the lot. We couldn’t find any lease or easement or other agreement in our records granting rights to TKBHA. So I personally engaged the TKBHA President verbally in 2024 and 2025 to request that he look through their records to see if they could find something. The request and discussions were amicable. In July 2025, after over 6 months with no progress, we had our attorney write a letter formally requesting a copy of the document(s) giving them rights to our property. The letter said that if a document could not be produced, we would be willing to negotiate a new lease with them, or they could vacate the property. TKBHA did research their files and found

the document, but rather than simply providing it as requested, they sued us. So here we are. We will resolve this. Improvements. The Keys is buzzing with activity; at the townhomes, common areas, and single-family homes. The Pavilion beach is getting a facelift, Ala Wai/Keys Blvd medians have been redone (which are growing in really nicely after a couple years), our Texas corporate yard is getting a new fence and automated entry gate, Cove 3C is getting a new roof, Tahoe Marina Shores facelift is nearly complete, several cove water and sewer service lines are being replaced and parking areas redone or recoated, the drinking water project is proceeding, and the Venice tennis court repair is underway, to name a few. And numerous members are upgrading their landscapes, siding, roofs, and interiors. All of these investments are needed to preserve and enhance our property values. I feel that we have turned the corner and that the pace of replacements and upgrades will very soon begin to slow. We just need to get past this inflection point. Hang in there!

Board Elections. We received just 4 applications for the 4 open seats, from the 4 current incumbents. So, an election is not necessary. The board at the June meeting appointed Peter Grant, Mark Acri, Bonnie Halleran, and yours truly by acclimation. I was expecting to see a few applications from townhome owners, since so much of the board’s business concerns the townhomes, but not this time. Perhaps next year.

The July 4th holiday is nearly upon us as I write this. It is our busiest week of the year, and marks the maximum water demand each year. It is too late to ask, but I’m hoping members stick to their landscape watering schedule, especially during this critical week, so that water pressures hold strong.

I’m also reminded of the summer of 2021, just 5 years ago. Shortly after July 4th, the Tamarack fire started in Alpine County near Markleeville, and sent choking smoke into the Tahoe Basin and Carson Valley. Before it could be fully contained that October, the Caldor fire started up in August near Camino, which really turbocharged our smoke situation. Caldor ended up entering the basin, with a full chaotic evacuation of South Tahoe.

We entered the summer of 2026 with very little snowpack anywhere in the central Sierras. The forests will dry out (if they haven’t already), and fires will be our reality in the not-to-distant future. Knowing this, Lianne and I cherish each day we wake up to clean air!
