For an enlightened outing into the woods – consider spending a few hours "Camping with Henry and Tom". Sprinkled throughout with humorous political-in-correctness, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and the 29th President of the United States, Warren G. Harding, flee the watchful eyes of the President's secret service detail. While in the past these annual camping expeditions only included Edison and Ford, this particular July, Ford extended a personal invitation to Harding, the c... Full story

The annual Prom Dress Rugby event is a fun-raiser to help support the athletes aiming to compete at the national level again in 2018.

Forget the time-honored tradition that younger workers need to “pay their dues” before moving up the ladder of success. These days many young people see no need to wait their turn – and their refusal to patiently stand in line is the right idea. They understand that if what they want doesn’t happen within a certain amount of time, they can move on to something different, go create an opportunity that works for them and their lifestyle. An ambitious attitude might not match the stereotype of today’s young people, but that’s be...

Potential victims receive a letter in the mail with the scammer threatening to release embarrassing information for public humiliation if the victim does not pay up using bitcoin. The blackmailer also includes instructions on how to buy bitcoin, as well a unique bitcoin wallet to send the money, which makes it harder to trace. Anyone who receives this kind of letter, be advised; it i...
In the 2015 movie “The Intern,” Robert DeNiro starred as a 70-year-old widower who returns to the workforce as an underappreciated and seemingly out-of-step intern working for a young boss played by Anne Hathaway. Initially, Hathaway’s character can’t quite relate to this baby boomer who ditched retirement out of boredom, but by the film’s finale she comes to appreciate his skills and experience. In real life, you’re unlikely to encounter many septuagenarian interns, but it’s not unusual for people to re-enter the labor mar...
I had a real treat when I accepted an invitation to meet with the ranch hands and managers of the nonprofit Manzanita Ranch at the historic Rainbow Oaks Restaurant just off the Interstate 15 in Rainbow. It was nothing more than a meet up with the Manzanita Ranch folks on their first "Manzanita Mondays" benefit, but to me it was a nostalgic visit to the restaurant on the way to San Diego on old Highway 395 since the 1947 postwar era, before people even dreamed of interstate...

Smooth, sexy and soulful are all words used to describe the blues, a musical genre that can trace its roots back to the Mississippi Delta more than a hundred years ago. But for Andy Doty, Temecula Blues Festival founder and owner of the Old Town Blues Club, the blues is so much more than just a musical genre. "All American music is rooted in blues," Doty said. "I don't care if it's hip-hop, rock 'n' roll, soul or jazz, it's all rooted in blues. It's huge. I think there is oppo...

Six barns that...

A 5-0 Rainbow board vote, Dec. 5, approved the agreement which allowed construction to proceed. “We’re finalizing our agreement for the pipeline construction,” Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy said. “That was just one of the formalities of that.” In 1987, the Hewlett-Packard Company and the Rainbow Municipal Water District executed a water and sewer services agreement which included a payment...
