Rural living in the Hi Desert faces challenges never dreamed of 40 years ago when the Homestead Valley Community Council (HVCC) began operation. Who would have imagined you would not be able to get a building permit if you relied on hauled water? Who could have pictured acres and acres of solar panels covering the desert next to homes? Find out the latest on these issues and what events are happening in the communities around you at the HVCC meeting set for 3 p.m. Monday, September 18, at Belfield Hall on Reche Road in Landers.
