Recently there have been posts on social expressing concern about the wild horses hanging around the apartments on Dayton Valley Road and Lakes Boulevard. There are a few reasons the horses are in this area.

1. The fencing parallel to Old Como Rd keeping the horses on BLM land has been neglected for years, and the horses walk off the range into the area behind the high school and apartments. Through an agreement with Wild Horse Preservation League and BLM that fence has now been repaired thanks to volunteers who spent several weeks repairing the almost 2 miles of downed fence.

2. BLM is working on replacing a cattleguard that the horses walk over as well. As soon as the new cattleguard is installed by the BLM the horses can be moved back on the range.

3. The fencing behind the apartments is not secure and the horses walk right through onto the apartment lawns, Dayton Valley Road and Lakes Blvd.

Please rest assured we are as concerned about the horses as you are. We are working with BLM to get the horse back out on the range as quickly and safely as possible.

Locals, if you are thinking about donating food this Thanksgiving season, please consider supporting this project started by the former Adele’s Chef and owner Charlie Abowd. Charlie can’t see it through - he passed away this weekend. I just saw him Friday in our Paradise water aerobics class, which will miss him terribly.

Chef Charlie Abowd and KNVC Carson City Community Radio are doing a food drive! It's our first annual Turkey Drop Food Drive, in the spirit of one of television's funniest episodes: "Turkeys Away," which aired in 1978 during first season of CBS comedy WKRP in Cincinnati.

Instant and fresh potatoes, canned green beans, corn and fruit, dried onions, cream of mushroom soup, cranberry sauce, chicken broth, stuffing and gravy mix are needed.

Read up on how you can help KNVC Carson City Community Radio and Chef Abowd this Thanksgiving season PLUS get the full story on the REAL Turkey Drop of radio fame. It's all on our homepage at KNVC.org🦃🦃🦃
