TUNE YOUR BODY FOR WINTER SPORTS

Keys Breeze

JANUARY 2022

WINTER IS UPON US IN TAHOE, and while weather outside may look frightful, it makes the mountains so delightful! With resorts open and the snowpack building in the backcountry, excitement continues to grow among winter enthusiasts. And much like you tune your boards/skis and change the batteries of your avalanche beacon, it’s key to also pay attention to your most important piece of equipment… YOU!

Warm-up before you head out. Spend 1020 minutes doing light upper and lower body movements to loosen up and get the blood flowing.

As a bonus, toss 20-30 minutes of yoga into your life once or twice a week.

Hydrate and eat. In cold weather you can’t rely on feeling thirsty as a reminder. Drink a bottle of water an hour, at minimum, with half of that being electrolytes. Also pack slow-burning foods like trail mix and protein bars to keep you going all day.

A few tips to keep you going all season and beyond: Conditioning. Between COVID and fires and evacuations (oh my!), many of us struggled to maintain our cardio base. For most winter sports, you’ll burn 400-600 calories/ hour while adding stress on your body with our dry conditions at altitude; be sure to get a sweat going and your heart rate elevated for an hour at least 2-3 times a week.

Core strength and stability. Most winter sports require high levels of core strength, including the back, abdomen, quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteal muscles. Different sports create different demands on our bodies, often the best bet is to see a personal trainer, like a performance coach, or a physical therapist who can create an individualized strength plan for you.

Check your head. Be real with your ability level.

Test out that nagging injury or your level of endurance with a short, chill day before going on the epic, eight-hour trek into the backcountry.

With all the chaos going on in our lives and the world around us, we’re all feeling ready to create rad stories with our people. A little work and a little smarts can make that happen safely—put the work in and then go get it! Happy adventuring!

Check out these exercises recommended by Barton Health physical therapists, Alan Barichievich and Caroline Barichievich at BartonHealth.org/ SkiSBConditioning. Make this a normal routine twice a week.

WHO CLEARS FIRE HYDRANTS?

The huge snow pack that accumulated in December buried pretty much everything in the Keys, including all of the fire hydrants. This has probably raised a question in your mind of who is responsible for keeping hydrants clear? The answer is you, but this needs an explanation. The TKPOA owns the water system in most of the Keys, including the hydrants, so you would think it would be the Keys’ responsibility to clear the snow. But due to the infrequency of snow storms, it is impractical for the Keys to have staff and equipment on hand to clear snow at all the hydrants. We have gone multiple years in a row with little snow, and had we had snow removal staff and equipment on hand, it would have been idle. TKPOA could annually contract out hydrant snow removal like many homeowners and the Coves do for their driveways, but it hasn’t been in the budget. Perhaps it should be added in the future. But as you know, our dues are already steep, and we have lots of priorities eating up money.

The City of South Lake Tahoe plows the streets because they own the streets, but it isn’t their job to clear the hydrants. In fact, berms from City plows aggravate

the problem at hydrants; we all love the berms! The South Lake Tahoe Fire Department only has budget to clear certain key fire hydrants scattered around the city. STPUD is like TKPOA, they don’t budget for fire hydrant clearing in their service area. So when a fire happens, the fire department has to first clear one or more hydrants before they can put the fire out. This consumes valuable time, and winter fires can be very bad as a result. But this is the reality, city-wide.

So for now at least, the responsibility for hydrant clearing falls on you and your neighbors. I’d encourage you to find the hydrant closest to your house, and that you alone or with neighbors “adopt” that hydrant. Then work throughout the winter to keep it clear, so that if a fire erupts at your house or in your neighborhood, the fire department can quickly get access to water. The photo below is the hydrant by my house on Christie that my friend and neighbor Rudy Pakes and I have adopted. We’re not 100% in keeping it clear, but we’re trying to keep up with it.

Sincerely,

Dave Peterson TKPOA BOARD PRESIDENT

EAST CHANNEL BULKHEAD REPLACEMENT PROJECT FINAL COMPLETION THE EAST CHANNEL BULKHEAD REPLACEMENT PROJECT was completed on October 14th, 2021, by Anvil Builders, Inc. (ABI). The project was met with several delays and challenges but was still completed on schedule for a total amount of $1,958,036. There was a total of 16 change orders from ABI in the amount of $148,919. These change orders were due to unavoidable price increases and unforeseen project complications that are typical for a bulkhead project of this size.

Directors approved a change order on September 27th, 2021, for an expedited schedule and ABI worked extended days and weekends to complete the project on time, due to restriction by the CTC on the project completion date.

As many of you already know, the California Tahoe Conservancy Agency (CTC) is also completing the Upper Truckee Marsh Restoration Project on the land directly adjacent to the project site for the East Channel Bulkhead Project. Because of this, the TKPOA had to work in conjunction with their project and contractors. The CTC The project started on June 21st, 2021, with ABI mobilizing built a bulkhead wall to block off part of the marsh and and installing the required turbidity curtain into the there was a length of unprotected land in between the East Channel. The first delay occurred when the Tahoe CTC bulkhead wall and the TKPOA bulkhead wall. The Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) performed a site TRPA required both the CTC and the TKPOA to mitigate inspection and informed us that the length of the this with a gap erosion plan to prevent debris falling into turbidity curtain was inadequate. Thanks to the quick the water and share the cost. The TKPOA contracted the thinking of ABI, they were able to rectify this in very little same contractor as the CTC and had willow clumps and time, only to be met with another challenge shortly coir logs put in place to meet the TRPA requirement, and after. There is a Liberty Utility electric line that runs to conserve costs. perpendicular and underneath the East Channel which supplies electricity to the channel lights and navigation All these extra costs are what contributed to the aids. When Liberty Electric was brought out to locate the $1,958,036 price tag. Per the 1991 Superior Court of line, they were unable to do so. This meant that ABI had California Stipulated Agreement No:1225, the Tahoe Keys to drive the sheet piles to the proper estimated depth to Marina and Yacht Club (TKM&YC) and the Tahoe Keys avoid cutting the line, this was accomplished.

Beach and Harbor Association (TKB&HA) are required to split the cost of this project with the TKPOA.

ABI had to remove all this unaccounted-for concrete, break it down into smaller pieces, and haul it away per required disposal guidelines.

VOLUNTEERING CONNECTS YOU TO OTHERS Keys Breeze

I found an interesting statistic according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic about 60.8 million Americans volunteered at least once in 2008 and the median average hours spent of volunteer activities ranged from a high of 96 hours for volunteers age 65 and over to a low of 36 hours for those 25 to 35 year old. Volunteering has many benefits and the TKPOA is looking for volunteers young and old.

f o s t fi e n e B r u o F Volunteering:

to your self-confidence, self-esteem and life satisfaction.

You are doing good for others and the community, which provides a natural sense of accomplishment. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity.

And the better you feel about yourself, the more likely you are to have a positive view of your life and future goals. Volunteering combats depression. Volunteering keeps you in regular contact with others and help you develop a solid support system, which in turn protects you against stress and depression when you are going through challenging times. Volunteering helps you stay physically healthy. Volunteering is good for your health at any age, but it is especially beneficial in older adults

#3: Volunteering can improve life skills #1: Volunteering connects you to others If you are considering a new career, volunteering can Volunteering allows you to connect to our TKPOA help you get experience in your area of interest and meet community and make it a better place. However, people in the field. The TKPOA committees interface volunteering is a two-way street, and it can benefit you with TKPOA Management and departments from and your family as much as the Association. Dedicating Finance to Water Quality. Even if you are not planning on your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, changing careers, volunteering gives you the opportunity expand your network, and boost your social skills. to practice important life skills used in the workplace, such as teamwork, communication, problem solving, #2: Volunteering is good for your mind and body project planning, task management, and organization.

Volunteering provides many benefits to both mental and Volunteering can provide some career experience and physical health. Volunteering can provide a healthy boost teach you valuable job skills. Just because volunteer

HOME work is unpaid does not mean the skills you learn are basic.

Volunteering can also help you build upon skills you already have and use them to benefit our community. #4: Volunteering brings fun and fulfillment to your life Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions. Trust me many of the committee meetings are quite fun! Doing volunteer work, you find meaningful and interesting can be a relaxing, energizing escape from your day-to-day routine of work, school, or family commitments. Volunteering also provides you with renewed creativity, motivation, and vision that can carry over into your personal and professional life.

Volunteering on a Board Advisory Committee is a great experience and provides exposure to how the Association works for those TKPOA Property Owners that are interested in becoming future members of TKPOA Board of Directors.

In closing, when it comes to volunteering, passion and positivity are the only requirements and while learning new skills can be beneficial to many; it is not a requirement for a fulfilling volunteer experience. Bear in mind that the most valuable skills you can bring to any volunteer effort are compassion, an open mind, a willingness to do whatever is needed, and a cheerful outlook.

THE EFFECTS OF BEAR URBANIZATION AND WHAT WE CAN DO NOT ONLY WAS 2021 A CHAOTIC YEAR HERE IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS, we also experienced a record number of bear/human conflict issues. I've heard a number of people opine that this was due to the Caldor Fire, but that is not only an over simplistic view, the fire actually had little effect on the activities of our local "urbanized" black bear population other than giving them free reign in neighborhoods around town, some of those areas for up to three weeks, during the Caldor Fire evacuation.

The phenomenon of urbanized black bears/wildlife is a relatively new thing in the last 15 or so years, not only here in South Lake Tahoe, but also Asheville NC, Aspen CO, Mammoth CA, and a few other places that black bear populations spend a vast majority of their life living within and closely around urbanized areas, specifically in places that have an urban/wildland interface.

WHAT DOES THE TERM "URBANIZED" MEAN IN RELATION TO BLACK BEARS? Well, black bears are extremely intelligent omnivorous/opportunistic feeders that can survive on a broad range of calorie sources, and we lazy humans have been more than obliging in providing them with the easiest calorie sources they have ever obtained. Not only have we provided them access to endless calories easily obtained in minutes, as opposed to foraging for natural calorie sources for hours upon hours in their natural wildland environment, we're also providing that calorie source 52 weeks a year! So the lure of easy calories has enticed them in, and their high level of intelligence has helped them to thrive in this urban environment. It also didn't take them long to figure out that under decks or poorly secured/unsecured crawl spaces make wonderful protected and safe summer day bedding or over winter denning sites. It's been my experience that once one bear has used one of those spaces for bedding or denning, others will also use it and it becomes what I call a "Bear B&B". We have multiple generations of local black bear sows that only den and give birth in crawl spaces and under protected decks.

What have been the physiological and behavioral effects of the urbanization of black bears?

Physiologically our local urbanized black bear population tend to be 25%-35% larger/heavier than their wildland cousins, often give birth to 3 cubs as opposed to wildland Keys Breeze

bears birthing 1 or maybe 2, and due to easy calorie access 52 weeks a year, many of our urbanized black bears forego full torpor (proper term for how black bears hibernate over winter) and actively feed throughout the winter.

Urbanized black bear behavior is a very important factor because a behavior is not only learned, but then taught to the future generation who then teaches it to theirs, and so on. Behaviorally urbanized black bears have come to rely on unnatural food sources as a primary calorie source, have condensed their normal ranging areas, have become far more comfortable in the presence of humans, they routinely and comfortably cross roads and highways, some actively moving through neighborhoods checking for unlocked car doors seeking out attractants, others checking for unlocked or open doors/windows/sliders of homes for attractants, and even a few that have ratcheted it up a level and are bashing locked front doors in to gain access (sometimes with humans present) to those houses and their attractants.

In the winter of '20/'21 I discovered and documented for the first time two 450lb+ non sibling male black bears denning over winter 20 feet from each other under the same building, a thing that would never happen with wildland black bears. The easy access to calories means there is no real competition for food sources among unrelated bears, and this summer I even documented three large different aged males moving through a neighborhood stream zone together as a group on a number of occasions.

The biggest factor affecting us here in South Lake Tahoe, and Lake Tahoe in general, is that we have an unnaturally high black bear population density never before seen, and far higher than the natural holding capacity of a wildland black bear's natural habitat. In an ongoing black bear population density study I assisted a UC Davis PhD candidate on, the preliminary numbers are showing that the low estimate for black bear population density on just the California side of Lake Tahoe is 2+ black bears per square mile. To put that into perspective, the entire Yosemite National Park has an estimated bear population density of 1 black bear per 2.3 square miles.

Unless we humans take a far more proactive approach to securing attractants and access to buildings, we are going to experience an ongoing escalation in human/bear conflict issues, with more property damage and even the possibility of human injury or death. In a perfect world the two states and five counties in the Lake Tahoe Basin would institute and enforce uniform top down ordinances relating to waste management and a homeowners/resident’s storage of trash. I would urge any HOA to allow bear trash storage boxes, and any homeowner to install one.

SOUTH TAHOE REFUSE PROPOSED GARBAGE TOTE AND ENCLOSURE PILOT PROGRAM TKPOA members know that 2020 and 2021 saw a change in behavior for a few of our resident black bears. They (1 or 2) began punching out wooden garage door panels to access garbage and trash stored inside.

These bears soon figured out that food was also stored inside the main residence buildings, and they graduated to entering through open/unlocked windows, doors, and sliders. Once inside the building they proceeded to destroy kitchens, refrigerators, and cupboards in their drive to find human food supplies.

The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and paid staff in the department (ACD) have wrestled with this for two years, and we’re happy to report some progress is being made. We have met with representatives from CA Department of Fish & Wildlife and South Tahoe Refuse Company (STR).

Soon TKPOA members may view a new design garbage “tote enclosure” being tested at a home along Tahoe Keys Blvd. The wheeled totes hold 65-gallon capacity (equal to 2 standard garbage cans). The enclosures are bear/animal proof.

Some might refer to these new systems as “bear boxes”, but STR is using a new description (totes & enclosures). The steel enclosures are set close to ground level so a full tote (very heavy) can be wheeled in and out easily. STR wants to test launch a wholly new trash pickup service over the next two years. This is being driven by the need for STR to convert the present service of man-handling 32-gallon garbage cans into an automated hydraulic service that does the heavy-lifting into the trucks.

Man-handling these very heavy loads takes a physical toll on the workers.

STR is willing to test launch this new service in the Tahoe Keys. If successful, the new service may include: • 65-gallon totes and steel animal proof Keys Breeze

|

enclosures. The totes are heavy poly design, with animal proof latches.

• 65-gallon totes without the enclosure.

• 90-gallon totes with animal proof latches, without the enclosure.

No tote or enclosure, service continues as presently provided.

A separate pricing structure would be developed for various scenarios. Totes may be available by the 2022 spring season. The steel enclosures may be available shortly there-after.

ACC will be designing new draft rules for garbage storage, and the positioning and screening of enclosures after receiving feedback from members.

These rules would be announced in the Keys Breeze for a 30-day comment period. The TKPOA Board of Directors would then decide if the rules would go into effect as proposed, be modified, or be dropped altogether.

TKPOA and STR would like to invite TKPOA members to stop-by the test location and then give your feedback on the new system to the ACD staff at the pavilion, or by email at lcallahan@tahoekeyspoa.org.

What about the future?

Sadly, it appears that there are way too many black bears inhabiting South Lake Tahoe. Some estimates range in the neighborhood of 200+ black bears just on the California side of the Tahoe Basin.

TKPOA is considering working with several organizations (state, Federal and local) to develop a truly coordinated strategy for managing the population of these large creatures. The majority of basin residents love our fuzzy friends and do not want them harmed. On the other hand, there is very little room to naturally spread-out a very large bear population that continues to increase rapidly and has learned to forage for food in the urban environment. Long range and short-range solutions must be developed. Pots, pans, and paintballs won’t JANUARY 2022

change the mating habits of black bears, and their numbers likely will continue to increase. There are few places to transport or chase them off to. A considerable part of our surrounding landscape has been changed by fire or manipulated for fire protection (logged) which can alter the natural food source for years or even decades. And more of the Basin landscape is now scheduled for intense fuel treatments. Also consider that bears don’t normally inhabit the high elevation wilderness area which is mostly granite and offers little in the way of natural food. So, what to do?

It has been suggested that a consortium of interested government and non-government organizations (NGOs) ban together to form and recommend a collective strategy, which some say should include bear tagging and bear birth-control.

That would be a very expensive long-term solution…. but it’s humane! For example, the state of Nevada and BLM just completed the annual wild horse and burro roundup, and 133 mares were treated with a Keys Breeze

|

fertility control vaccine so they could be released back on the range without contributing to the overpopulation problem. It seems like Tahoe should be able to consider similar strategies to help manage the black bears in a responsible and humane way.

What about the bears that have already proven that they will break into buildings in search of food? This is a state of California DF&W responsibility, and why it is so important to proceed with a tagging program.

We need to be able to identify troublesome individual animal(s)…most bears do not fall into this category. So far only a few bears are crashing through doors and windows to access human food supplies. Other strategies may have to be used to address the extreme behaviors.

Thank you for participating with us in this testing of the proposed new garbage service.

ICE SAFETY By: Greg Hoover, Water Qulity Manager/AIS Management Coordinator Now that winter has arrived and the Tahoe Keys lagoons and waterways are covered with ice and snow, it is important to think about ice safety. TKPOA Water Quality and Security Departments along with the South Lake Tahoe Fire and Rescue recommend you never venture out on our frozen lagoons and waterways, as they are extremely unsafe. Please keep in mind: Never allow children or pets to venture onto the ice In the event they fall through the ice, there is a high probability of injury or death. TKPOA rules pertaining to pets and City of South Lake Tahoe Animal Control Codes do not allow an unleased pet to run or play on the ice.

Recognize that ice will never be completely safe Conditions, and unseen or unknown factors, can render seemingly safe ice suddenly dangerous. Take all care and precautions to avoid mishaps and make sure you have a rescue plan in place, i.e.; throw able floatation device with an attached rope, for those who live on the water.

Having a safety plan in place, should you see an ice incident, can save lives.

Understand that ice strength is not the same everywhere, not even on the same body of water It is difficult to judge the strength of ice based on appearance alone. Other factors including snow cover, currents, bubblers to prevent ice around boats, distribution of the load on the ice, schools of fish, and other factors affect the thickness and safety.

One Keys for walking and snowshoeing. All people who of the project goals is to have a continuous circulation of venture out during winter should carry emergency the water column. This will reduce the water’s ability to supplies no matter how long they plan to be out or freeze and if it does freeze the ice will be thin and unwhere they plan to go. Always make sure that someone uniform which makes this area extremely dangerous.
