BOARD MESSAGE Fall 2026

There’s a particular kind of relief that comes with the first cool morning after a Reno summer, and this year it feels especially welcome. As the aspens on Peavine begin to turn and evenings on the patio get a little more comfortable, I want to take a moment to reflect on the season we just came through, and look ahead to the one in front of us.

A Community Tested - and It Held

Many of you spent the last week of August watching the Hawk Fire with far more attention than any of us would have liked. The fire started August 22 near Hawk Meadow Trail, right in our own backyard, and before crews could get a handle on it, it had burned more than 15,000 acres across Peavine and prompted evacuation orders for tens of thousands of our neighbors across the North Valleys. As of this writing, firefighters have it roughly 95 percent contained, and Somersett came through it without losing a single home. That is not luck. Since 2023, when Somersett became the only HOA in the nation awarded a federal Community Wildfire Defense Grant, our community has invested more than $2.3 million, matched by our own funds, into fuel breaks, vegetation removal, and defensible space work across Somersett and Sierra Canyon. Crews have treated hundreds of acres, built fuel breaks in Ventana, The Cliffs, Mogul Creek, Ridgeview, and beyond, and completed nearly a hundred home defensible-space inspections along the way. We even ran a full community evacuation drill this past May. When the Hawk Fire actually arrived three months later, that preparation is a big part of why our neighborhood was still standing when the smoke cleared. It’s a program that has more than paid for itself. If you evacuated, checked on a neighbor, sheltered someone’s pets, or simply kept a level head while the sky turned orange, thank you. And if you’re one of the residents who’s let our 4

fuel mitigation crews onto your property for an inspection or treatment over the past few years, thank you for that too. It mattered. As we head into fall, it’s a good moment to take another look at defensible space around your own property and make sure your emergency contacts and go-bag are current, so we’re ready to do this again if we ever need to.

Settling Into Fall

With the fire behind us, it’s a good time to turn to the more routine rhythms of the season. As temperatures drop, please keep an eye on your landscaping: irrigation schedules should start winding down, fallen leaves and pine needles should be cleared regularly, and now is a great time to get any exterior projects approved through the AGC (Somersett) or ARC (Sierra Canyon) before the holiday season gets busy. Keep an eye on the calendar for our fall community events, a great, low-key way to reconnect with neighbors after a summer that kept a lot of us close to home or glued to the news.

Your Board at Work

Behind the scenes, your Board is moving into budget season, reviewing priorities for the year ahead, including the continued rollout of our wildfire mitigation plan for 2026-27. We always welcome residents at our board meetings, and if you have thoughts on where the Association should focus its attention, I’d genuinely like to hear them. Thank you all, again, for the way this community shows up for each other. Here’s to a calmer, cooler season ahead. Warmly,

Jacob Williams

President, Somersett Board of Directors Somersett Living

GETTING READY FOR WINTER IN SOMERSETT

Fall in northwest Reno moves fast. One week you’re still watering tomatoes, and the next you’re scraping frost off the windshield. Here’s a practical, three-part guide to help you close out the growing season, tighten up your home, and get your car ready for the upcoming colder weather.

In the Garden: Make the Most of Fall

Northern Nevada actually has a bonus growing season most people overlook. Cool nights and warm days in October are ideal for leafy greens, root vegetables, and other coldtolerant crops — they even taste sweeter once temperatures dip, because plants convert starches to sugar as a natural antifreeze. What to plant now: with our earlier frost, September is really the direct-seeding window for most fall crops — by October, your best bets are cold-hardy vegetables already established as transplants (spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and other leafy greens tolerate a light frost well) and quick-maturing radishes. Garlic is the exception: it’s planted in October and November 6

Somersett Living

| Fall 26

specifically because it needs a cold winter dormancy period before it grows next summer, so this is prime garlic-planting season. Know your frost window. Our neighborhood sits higher and cooler than much of Reno — we span USDA Hardiness Zones 6b through 7b, and climate data puts our average first fall frost around late September (roughly September 21–30), a couple of weeks earlier than the numbers often reported for “Reno” overall, which reflect the warmer valley floor. Keep row cover or old sheets on hand and ready to go by mid-September, and plan to have anything frost-sensitive (tomatoes, peppers, squash, basil) harvested by month’s end rather than waiting for October.

Before the ground freezes: cut back perennials, add a layer of mulch around root systems, drain and disconnect garden hoses, and shut off exterior irrigation lines to prevent a burst pipe come January.

• Check Fire Alarms - Check them regularly and replace batteries on a regular schedule.

On the Road: Winterize the Car

Reno’s elevation and proximity to the Sierra mean winter driving conditions can show up fast. A few checks now can prevent a breakdown — or worse — later: • Battery: Cold weather is the top cause of winter breakdowns; have it load-tested, especially if it’s three or more years old. Many local Auto Shops will do this for free. Around the House: Seal In the Warmth • Tires: Check tread depth and pressure (cold air drops PSI), and consider dedicated winter or snow-rated tires if A little weatherproofing now saves real money once the you regularly drive over Mt. Rose Highway or through the heating season kicks in.

Play is first-come, first-served. Fall at the Canyon 9 Fall brings some of the best golf weather of the year to the Canyon 9. Crisp mornings, mild afternoons, and the changing high desert light make every round a treat. As temperatures drop through October and into December, expect shorter days, occasional frost delays on chilly mornings, and the first snow flurries by late season — please check course conditions before heading out.

With your help keeping the course in good shape through the transition into winter, the Canyon 9 will stay a wonderful community perk until the snow arrives. Course Etiquette and Safety Rules To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all residents and guests, please follow these golf course rules: • Maintain pace of play – Avoid slow play to keep the course flowing smoothly. • Care for the course – Repair ball marks, replace divots,

Wildfire Mitigation By Tray Palmer – Fire Fuels Mitigation Project Manager

As we finish the third year of wildfire mitigation made possible through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Wildfire Defense Grant, we again have a lot to be proud of. To date, approximately 441 acres of fuel reduced, 146 acres treated with herbicide, and 40 acres reseeded with fire-resistive mix. We took a break in the hot summer months due to increased ignition potential from equipment, but we are starting back up in October as temperatures cool down. Our focus this season will be along the south and west boundaries of Somersett and Sierra Canyon and the south-facing slopes within the drainage draws. We will be presenting a detailed plan on October 28 at Somersett Town Center. In other partnerships, we have received a commitment from the United States Forest Service to reestablish the fuel break on their parcel located between our community and Mogul. The Reno Fire Department is also in final consideration for a grant that will provide fuel reduction on City-owned properties in NW Reno, including the old Northgate golf course parcel that borders the east side of Somersett.

Lessons learned from the Hawk Fire:

On Saturday, August 22, many of us experienced our first true wildfire evacuation. The Hawk Fire started approximately 1 mile north of Cold Creek Trail and, fueled by red-flag winds, progressed northeast over Peavine, burning 15,085 acres, destroying 48 structures and seriously damaging an additional 14 homes. The fire did cross into the Somersett community at the top of Painted River Trail. Fortunately, a fuel break we constructed in December of 2025 assisted firefighters in keeping the fire from igniting homes in our community. HOA Board Treasurer Clint Maples noted at the August 26 board meeting that firefighters at the scene told him the fire simply burned itself out when it hit that fuel break. Though we are proud of that success, it is important to realize that managing the fuel reduction around our community requires constant maintenance and monitoring. We plan on an aggressive mitigation campaign for this upcoming year.

Based on the actual evacuation and concerns from residents after the fire, we realize that not all residents are familiar with the multiple egress routes available to them. Once the immediate evacuation was enacted, there was a bottleneck of vehicles evacuating through Sharlands. The egress routes through Verdi (Sierra Canyon) and Beaumont flowed smoothly. There was also confusion with residents trying to use the emergency access gates to enter their neighborhoods during and after the fire. The emergency gated fire routes are initially for Fire Department vehicles to get to the scene quickly while resident evacuation is happening on the primary neighborhood routes. If first-responding fire or law enforcement personnel determine that the emergency routes need to be used for neighborhood evacuation, they will open the gates and direct residents to that location. A detailed evacuation plan can be found on our web page at somersett.com.

Preparing for next year:

Fall is a great time for residents to prepare for the next summer. We will again be providing dumpsters for fall clean-up to assist with residential vegetation clean-up. Check our web page for updates on dates and locations. 18

Invasive weed abatement:

According to Sean Gephart, Forester with the Nevada Division of Forestry, Pre-emergent herbicide is best utilized when applied in late fall, prior to snowfall. Pre-emergent herbicides act as growth inhibitors of weed seedlings. They prevent germinated seeds from developing roots, shoots, or both by depriving them of nutrients and erecting a chemical barrier in the soil surface so that the weeds cannot break through. Most pre-emergent herbicides do not harm plants that are already established, but it is always wise to read the application directions and warnings of the chemical you are using. Our area is prone to several invasive varieties of weeds. Two of these flammable varieties are prevalent throughout our community and expected to spread with this year’s prediction of a warm, wet winter.

Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae) is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe. It was introduced into the U.S. in the 1880s but did not spread rapidly until the 1950s. Medusahead is most common in the western U.S. The high silica content in medusahead foliage makes it unpalatable to deer and wildlife while creating a thick thatch every season that is very slow to decompose. Medusahead acts as a fire promoter as it fills in between sagebrush and other native vegetation, creating a continuous fuel corridor that accelerates the fire cycle. For the larger infested areas, we utilize a combination of Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) originated in Europe or Eurasia techniques that include mastication, grazing, and herbicide treatments. and was introduced to the U.S. in the mid- to late-1800s as a contaminant in seed and straw. It germinates in the fall and early spring, and grows rapidly and in high numbers, making it highly competitive with native species. It typically dries up in May. Dry cheatgrass is one of the most easily ignitable substances in Nevada. It is the kindling that rapidly fuels many of our wildfires.

Tools for our residents:

In addition to the dumpsters being available this fall, Somersett gives residents the opportunity to beautify HOA space against their property lines while reducing the probability of fire reaching their home in the event of a wildfire. We do not have the funding to clean behind every home. However, with permission from the Somersett or Sierra Canyon HOA, you can reduce the fuel loads up to 30 feet from your property lines, and we will give you a native seed mix (while supplies last) containing wheatgrass and wildflower seed to plant. Taking small steps now to lower your risk benefits you and your family. Over time, these small actions accumulate, improving the overall quality of life for our entire community. More information about proper weed control, getting permission to reduce fuel loads on HOA property, evacuation routes, and our fire fuels mitigation program can be found on our website: www.somersett.com.

Local Nonprofit Spotlight: Horsemanship for Heroes Healing, One Horse at a Time

Tucked into Northern Nevada is a nonprofit doing something quietly remarkable: pairing horses with veterans, emergency responders, and their families to help them heal from the invisible wounds of service. Horsemanship for Heroes (H4H) offers equine-assisted therapy and horsemanship programs completely free of charge, built on a simple but powerful belief - that the bond between horse and human can open a path to resilience, connection, and emotional growth that words alone often can’t reach.

Founded by Those Who Understand Service

H4H was founded by Karolyn (“K”) and Scott Hooper, a husband-and-wife team who retired from the U.S. Army in 22

Somersett Living

| Fall 26

2016 after a combined 49 years of active-duty service. Their careers took them through seven combat deployments across Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, plus peacekeeping tours in Bosnia-Herzegovina. As horse owners themselves, the Hoopers discovered firsthand how working with horses could help process trauma. Rather than keep that discovery to themselves, they built an organization around it — one dedicated to introducing other veterans, first responders, and their families to the same healing power. “Veterans, emergency responders, and their families have sacrificed more than we could possibly imagine,” the Hoopers share. “Those sacrifices often lead to invisible wounds that should not be ignored.”

What They Offer

H4H’s programs include: • Equine-assisted mental health sessions for veterans, emergency responders, and their families • Horsemanship classes that build confidence and connection • Corporate leadership workshops that draw on lessons horses teach about trust and communication • Community outreach events, including visits to veteran facilities and participation in local events such as the Sparks Memorial 4th of July celebration. The organization holds Premiere Accreditation from the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH, Intl.) - a distinction that reflects the highest standards in equine care, facility management, and safety. H4H is also a registered Nevada 501(c)(3) nonprofit and partners with Purdue University’s HAPE Lab and regional social-work programs to advance research and professional training in the field.

Volunteers Make It Possible

None of this happens without volunteers. In fact, every participant who comes through H4H’s doors relies on our volunteers to help them reach their goals. Volunteer opportunities include (but are not limited to): • Horse Leaders/Handlers - guiding and controlling horses during lessons to keep everyone safe • Grooming Crew - hands-on time caring for the herd, with all volunteers becoming H4H Certified to Groom the Herd, learning the H4H grooming process, proper techniques, and procedures for safely caring for our amazing herd. • Facility Maintenance Team - hands-on facility maintenance for anyone who loves building, fixing, and keeping things running smoothly. • Barn Team - keeping the H4H barn clean, safe, organized and welcoming for everyone. Duties include manure pick-up, replenishing water, sweeping, cleaning, and keeping walkways and common areas clean and accessible. The Barn Team also pitches in wherever needed to help the barn run smoothly. • Fundraising - helping keep programs free for the veterans and first responders who use them • Community Events - Planning, facilitating, and attending our many community events, where we connect with veterans, first responders, and the local community to share our mission and introduce our team and our herd New volunteers attend an orientation session and additional training suited to their particular role. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old, in good health, be physically active, mentally alert, and able to tolerate barn/ranch/outdoor conditions (heat, cold, dust, and wind). Most importantly, volunteers must have a positive attitude and be aligned to H4H’s mission, vision, and values.

Stetsons & Stars Annual Event

Each year, H4H hosts its signature fundraising event, Stetsons & Stars. This year’s theme is: The Future’s So Bright! - an acknowledgment of the growth of our organization, including the move to our new facility this year, where we can offer more support to our veterans and emergency responders. This is an evening of community, connection, and purpose set against the spirit of the West. The gala brings together veterans, emergency responders, community leaders, and supporters who believe in the healing power of the human-horse bond. This year’s event takes place October 10, 2026, starting at 5:30 PM at the Horsemanship for Heroes facility in Reno. Guests can look forward to an elevated western experience complete with live and silent auctions, inspiring stories of impact, fine food and spirits, and meaningful moments celebrating the lives changed through equineassisted services. Every ticket purchased and every paddle raised helps ensure heroes and their families have access to programs that build resilience, restore confidence, and strengthen connection - one horse, one hero, one story at a time.

Purchase Tickets Here or visit www. horsemanship4heroes.org and choose Stetsons and Stars from the home page.

Why It Matters to Our Community Horsemanship for Heroes represents the kind of local organization that makes a real difference just beyond our doorstep - offering healing, connection, and hope to the people who have given so much in service to our country and community. Whether you have a few hours to groom a horse, a skill set suited to fundraising or facility work, or simply want to learn more about their mission, H4H welcomes new supporters with open arms.
