A Family-Focused Practice
Sala Family Dentistry provides general dental services, but
it also offers pediatric care and orthodontics. Heated chairs
and shoulder massages help with comfort, while the latest
technology, such as digital X-rays and 3-D milling machines,
are used. The practice is unique in many ways, having an
in-office lab, a membership program for those lacking dental
insurance, and a guarantee of an appointment that day for
patients who call in before 9:30 a.m.
“We have a lot of opportunities for people who need to be
seen, and offer a wide range of convenient hours,” said Todd.
The family practice also has Saturday hours, which gives
patients the opportunity to come in on weekends and avoid
taking off from work or school. As well, there are open spots

Toward Charitable Goals
Since 2008, the brothers have created different events to
provide free services to community members. These already
account for $922,000 in services and time. One of these,
“Dentistry from the Heart,” launched in 2008 and offered
free services on a first-come, first-served basis to those in
dental need. Dr. Scott Boyden, an area oral surgeon, also
participated.
“Fillings, extractions, cleanings—they are completely taken
care of,” said Jason. “We’ve seen as many as 130 people in one
day and last year did $85,000 in free dentistry. We usually have
a long line outside of our office.”
The brothers launched “Smiles for Freedom” last year,
and have decided to focus on that in the future. This event
offers free dental services to those in the military, as well as
veterans, paramedics and first responders. Appointments are Iraq and another had even

Caughlin Ranch (CR) is very mindful of the chemicals we use to treat turf
and vegetation due to the valuable water sources we have flowing through the
community. We fertilize turf once (1x) each year with “Spread It & Forget It”, a 35-
0-10 compound with Duration CR®. CR does not use any compounds containing
Phosphorus.
For weed control, CR uses “Roundup Pro®” as-needed. This product cannot be
used near water sources. It is considered to be relatively nontoxic to dogs and other
domestic animals. However, ingestion of large amounts of freshly sprayed vegetation
may result in temporary gastrointestinal irritation. Provide the animal with plenty
of fluids; contact a veterinarian if symptoms persist for more than 24-hours.
The Washoe County Vector-Borne Disease Prevention Program has once again
re-stocked some CR ponds with mosquito-eating fish. Steamboat Ditch is flowing
through CR; the water is being used to irrigate large turf areas in the lower greenbelt
and to maintain the pond levels.
The seasonal crews are currently operating with three less members than in
previous years. We were forced to reallocate funds for two members in order to raise
the wages of all the seasonal workers in an effort to retain our trained and vetted
crew. Reno had a greater demand for landscapers at the start of the season which
helped to increase the prevailing wage. CR conducts basic background checks on all
employees; we believe it is a worthwhile cost. by Randy Lisenby,
Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) allows watering three times per Landscape and Maintenance
week Tuesday through Sunday; no watering is allowed on Monday. CR waters each Superintendent
irrigation zone two times per week and currently three cycles per day. Watering of
the common areas will occur primarily during nighttime and early morning hours.
Some larger areas have several zones which can take several hours to cycle through.
Watering days and times vary by neighborhood.
The wildflower areas and tree wells are all in full bloom. The dead and dying
pansies were recently replaced with colorful Zinnias. The planter islands water with
soaker lines so there is no over-spray.

“There’s a bear in my yard” is a phrase we are becoming used
to hearing, even in an area such as Caughlin Ranch, which

I moved to Reno in 1976 and grew up near what was then the
end of Plumb Lane. My brother and I would ride our dirt bikes

McCarran now lies, and race all over what is now Caughlin

WATCHING ROBINS
By Kathy Oakes
A
merican Robins are very comfortable in suburban
habitats and provide a great chance to learn robin
behavior. Most people first notice robins searching their
lawn for food. The bird runs across the lawn, stops short,
cocks its heads for a while, and then pounces, often coming
up with a nice juicy earth worm. It sure looks like the robin
is listening for worms, but robins locate worms by sight, not
sound. The bird only cocks its head to get a closer view of
the ground between the grass stems. Worms often rest at the
mouth of their burrows, with their heads out, making them
easy targets for the keen-eyed robin.
Robins spend a lot of time looking for worms because each
baby robin eats about 14 feet of worm while in the nest, along
with a couple of pounds of caterpillars and other insects. Robins around our yards give us a good opportunity to learn
