You’re invited!  Smith Mountain Band REVIVAL  Live Music and Square Dancing

The CCPM Square Dance on Sat May 1st, 7pm, at the Fire Station just became even more of a night to remember. Those of us who are relative newcomers to the Mountain may not remember ‘The Smith Mountain Band’. However, if you’ve lived on the Mountain for 20 years or more, you’ll no doubt know exactly who I’m talking about. Our very own – Our very talented – Genuine Palomar Mountain Cowboy Musicians… Dutch Bergman, brothers Bruce and Bill Druliner, and Steve Barry will once again perform for us as The Smith Mountain Band.

A reunion like no other!!  Some say it’s been more than 20 years since all four Mountain Musicians have played together.  So, grab your dancin’ shoes and do-si-do your way down to the Fire Station for a night of Square Dancing, Two Stepping, Live Music and Dessert.  This is bound to be a night to remember!!

Here are the details:  https://palomarmountainnews.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/square-dance-may-1st-save-the-date/

Everyone has their own story about the earthquake yesterday afternoon.  Folks had just left the potluck at the Round House when I looked up and was amazed to see those big ceiling timbers creaking and feel that house moving like there was nothing to it! 

Bill Horn’s office sent the following: 

Earthquake preparedness booklet you can download: http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/oes/ 

In the event of an earthquake, emergency personnel stress the need to be mentally prepared and when things start shaking, to get to a safe spot, avoiding heavy or breakable items falling on you. 

Supervisor Horn said, “Our disaster preparedness guide provides tips on what to do if it is necessary to shut off natural gas supplies.  Once a person’s home front is stabilized, assistance can be given neighbors, especially the elderly.  The first three days of any natural disaster are the most critical as emergency assistance may not be readily available.  That’s why it’s important to have enough canned food, bottled water and other supplies that will sustain people for about 72 hours.”
