A true potluck is totally unplanned and can be an adventure in eating. I remember one grange potluck that consisted of several dishes of beans of various kinds and there was one Daughters of Norway (DON) potluck that was mostly desserts, but those were exceptions. In my experience, potlucks are usually delicious meals. It is amazing how well a potluck can turn out, especially if there is a theme to it. The DON potluck lunches usually feature several Scandinavian dishes but als... Full story

The Aug. 23 meeting of the Rainbow Municipal Water District (MWD) board included a presentation on the district's potential water reclamation plant and recycled water distribution system. Although the future infrastructure was a non-voting item, the board agreed with Rainbow staff's recommendation that the various options should be evaluated in further detail. "The board gave direction to take the next phase, which is to do a high-level analysis," said Rainbow general manager Tom Kennedy. In January 2015, the Rainbow board...

It appears likely that the Fallbrook Golf Course will never be a golf course again. The owner is about to be foreclosed upon. The neighbors in the surrounding area are very concerned with what will happen with the land. Most, I am sure, would like it to remain as a golf course or open space. The Savefallbrookgolfcourse.com group is suggesting that it become conservation land. I like this idea, however, it is unlikely to happen. Who would put up the money for this? My thought is that the next best alternative is for the land...
