She's Got a Golden Ticket


This is Anita Wald-Tuttle. In addition to being a member of our Governing Board, she is also the very first recipient of Gold Country Stage's Golden Ticket. 

All Nevada County residents age 80 years and older are eligible for this FREE lifetime pass. Pass holders will receive unlimited free rides on all Gold Country Stages routes. The pass is available for all Nevada County seniors with proof of age (via a valid California ID card or driver's license).

The Golden Ticket program begins June 1st. Passes will be available at the Tinloy Transit Center the first two business days of each month and at the Transit Services office at 13081 John Bauer Avenue in Grass Valley.

For more information, contact 211 Connecting Point by dialing 2-1-1 (or 1-877-847-0499).


If you've ever had a long recovery after a medical procedure, you know just how boring life can become when you're not able to leave the house. After a few days, you've read all the magazines, the TV shows blur together, and your regular internet haunts seem stale. You long for contact from the outside world. 

For folks with chronic health conditions or other circumstances that prevent them from leaving their home, this boredom can quickly turn to social isolation. Many people in Nevada County, particularly seniors, go days or weeks without seeing another person and have few options for intellectual stimulation.

If you or someone you know is in this situation, it might be time to get a Book Buddy.


Hello Parents!

Welcome to 10-12 months! By now your baby is very busy and is starting to move around the house more. She may be crawling, standing by herself, walking while holding onto furniture, or walking well all on her own. If you have steps in the house, she may be trying to climb them. You've probably noticed that she loves to push and pull things. She's strong, she's mobile, and she's curious: Now is a great time to "babyproof" everything around the house! Make sure to lock or block your cabinets. If you have stairs at home, think about teaching your baby to go down them on her belly feet-first.
