  • Maybe We'll Be Ok After All?: "Urban water rates would climb. The iconic suburban lawn would all but disappear. Coastal Californians would stop dumping most of their treated sewage and urban runoff from rain storms into the Pacific and instead add it to their water supply." According to a computer, California could survive a whole lot more drought. LA Times
  • Do As We Say: "Water bills obtained via the state’s Public Records Act show that in 2013, nearly half of the officials who supervise the state’s biggest water agencies used more water than the typical California household." While calling on he public to reduce water use, some public officials aren't exactly doing the same. LA Register

    What will be difficult is that these bags are used by the Santa Clarita and Church of Hope Food Pantries to give food to the needy. If you are saving these bags, please bring them to St. Stephen's Church, where local Congregations will participate in a fundraiser in The Annual SCV Crop Walk for our local Food Pantries on Sunday, Oct. 19. Registration @ 2 PM and Walk begins @ 2:30 PM. The bags and other donations will be given to the Food Pantries
