| May 20 General Membership Luncheon - May 2015 |
THIS EVENT IS FULL.
This month, we will hear from representatives of the Douglas County Sewer Improvement District who several months ago proposed big changes to their storage reservoirs in the East Valley. Those changes included a new, large flood control reservoir, the use of excavated materials for commercial purposes to mitigate the costs of the project and the construction of a new reservoir for reclaimed wastewater, which would be designated, as in the past, for crop irrigation.
As you’ll recall, after the project was approved by the Planning Commission, a number of residents of East Valley objected strongly to the proposal that included the use of Buckeye, East Valley and Toler as routes to be used to haul the aggregate material out and to the timing of the flood control element, which seemed unnecessarily long. DCSID has gone back to the drawing board and will be presenting alternatives to the original plan that addresses both the concerns of the routing and its impacts on roads and the timing of the flood control improvements.
This is an important project and one that impacts both the Lake and Valley residents of Douglas County. You can hear the details first hand at our luncheon at Walley’s.
Reservations for this luncheon are mandatory as we have about 90 seats available and we expect every seat to be filled.

| May 23 Paiute heritage presentation at Dangberg Historic Park |
Paiute heritage presentation at Dangberg Historic Park
MINDEN, Nev.- Traditional singer, dancer and teacher of the Paiute language Christina Thomas will share her people's heritage in a free presentation, "Songbird: Telling the Paiute Story," at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park on Saturday, May 23, at 10:00 am.
Thomas is of Paiute, Shoshone, and Hopi descent and has been acknowledged as an emerging leader of her people. She explores the performing arts of traditional singing, drumming and dancing. She has given lessons in the Paiute language, tells traditional stories, shares knowledge of traditional foods and plants, discusses the history of the Great Basin native peoples, and gives her unique perspective on contemporary Native American issues.
The presentation is part of the park's Ferris Family Speaker Series, named in honor of the family of Margaret Ferris Dangberg, the wife of ranch founder Heinrich F. Dangberg. The series is sponsored by Bently Ranch, SoaringNV, The Record-Courier, Douglas County, Alpen Sierra Coffee Company, and the Frances C. and William P. Smallwood Foundation. Alpen Sierra Coffee Company is providing complimentary coffee for visitors throughout the series.
Thomas is of Paiute, Shoshone and Hopi descent, and grew up on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Reservation. She is the youngest teacher of the Paiute language in the Washoe County School District, previously served as the youngest member of her tribe's Cultural Committee, and founded the girls' youth group, Native Butterflies. She is an alumna of the prestigious Americans for Indian Opportunity Ambassadors Program, was the winner of the 2012 Beauty on a Mission award from Miss Humanity International, and received a 2013 Governor's Points of Light Award for her community and cultural preservation work. She is featured at the Pyramid Lake Museum as the youngest emerging leader of her people.
An accomplished traditional singer and dancer, Thomas has performed for First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Harry Reid, Governor Brian Sandoval and others, and has been featured on local television shows and in numerous print articles, both nationally and internationally.
This is a free outdoor event. The park is located at 1450 Hwy 88, ¼ mile north of the Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital. Visitors are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or use one of the park's chairs. Dogs are not permitted in the park, with the exception of certified service animals. For more information, visit dangberghomeranch.org or call 775-783-9417.

| May 30 Presentation at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park |
Author and historian Michael Makley will present “John Mackay, William Sharon and the Fight for Comstock Bonanzas” in a free presentation at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park on Saturday, May 30, at 10:00 am.
John Mackay and William Sharon were the wealthiest of the men to emerge from Nevada’s fabulous Comstock Lode. They were also the most influential. Mackay, who rose from poverty, was the hero of Virginia City. He was respected by its miners and mine owners, and idolized by its children. Sharon, the brains behind the “Bank Crowd,” was generally perceived as a villain. When he ran for the U.S. Senate, Nevada’s leading newspaper, The Territorial Enterprise, characterized him as a “hyena." Makley will tell how these two Comstock “kings” battled each other, amassed their fortunes and used their wealth.
Michael Makley is the author of seven books on Western history, including five published by the University of Nevada Press. The Infamous King of the Comstock won Foreword magazine’s 2008 silver award for biography. This book will be available for purchase on the day of the event at a reduced price. Booklist called A Short History of Lake Tahoe, “a polished gem,” saying “Makley’s work could serve as a blueprint for writing relevant and engaging regional history.”
Makley's book, The Infamous King of the Comstock: Willliam Sharon and the Golden Age in the West, will be available at the park that day for a discounted price of $22.45 (regular $24.95).
The presentation is the first in the park’s Ferris Family Speaker Series, named in honor of the family of Margaret Ferris Dangberg, the wife of ranch founder Heinrich F. Dangberg. Alpen Sierra Coffee Company is providing complimentary coffee for visitors throughout the series, with baked treats from 88 Cups & More Coffee Shop. Next presentation: Michael Fischer in a Chautauqua portrayal of Home Ranch founder Heinrich F. Dangberg on June 20 at 10:00 am.
