Opinion: Music is unattractive

Share/Bookmark While Nancy Huber and others may find Western music attractive, others do not like it and would rather not be forced to hear it. I was glad to hear that at least three phone complaints came to Jo’An’s about the loudness of the music. If Jo’An’s actually cares about Idyllwild, what they should do [...]

Opinion: Calm down, all is not bleak

Share/BookmarkAs I began reading Jeff Smith’s latest letter [see the May 9 issue of the Town Crier], I thought “Oh, boy, he’s at it again.” I covered the name of the sender as I frequently do with letters to the editor, trying to guess who the author is. But as I read on, I thought [...]

Opinion: Opposes online public notices

Share/BookmarkI am enclosing a copy of my letter to the Assembly Judiciary Committee generally in opposition to AB 642 now before that committee. AB 642 would allow an exclusively web-based publication, with a staff of one spending time in Idyllwild, to qualify as a newspaper of general circulation in competition with you. I have always [...]

Opinion: CSD not a solution to local services

Share/BookmarkOK, I haven’t written a letter to the editor in a awhile. I want to be positive; but when I see local corruption pushing itself off in the interest of property owners I get upset. Idyllwild Community Recreation Council wants a community center funded by property tax dollars (a recreation facilities use contract) and Idyllwild [...]

Opinion: Music is attractive

Share/BookmarkWell, it’s here, springtime, warm weather, flowers and outside activities; how wonderful. I’ve lived in Idyllwild for 19 years and I love it up here, as everyone else I know does. I shop up here, dine up here, and go to a lot of events up here. One of my favorite things is going to [...]

Opinion: Will miss Mayor Max

Share/BookmarkI have been a part-time resident of Idyllwild since 1969, and I can think of no other town that had a dog as mayor. It was wonderful! And although I never met Max, I followed him in the Town Crier. We need more four-legged friends in public office. My sincere condolences to his family and [...]

Opinion: Tribute to Mayor Max

Share/BookmarkEvery week, we look forward to enjoying the Mayor Max articles in the Town Crier. He’s more than man’s “best friend.” Every day he lived a good fun life. He carried the message of love and true leadership. Such charm and style. He showed profesionalism in his mayor’s role. We loved his bow tie attire. [...]

Opinion: Chamber president speaks

Share/BookmarkTo my town: I joined the chamber because I was involved in the business community and I love this town. I wanted to bring town businesses together, I wanted it to be fun like it used to be, where the business owners were a close-knit community who looked out for each other and worked to [...]

Opinion: Environmental act helps

Share/BookmarkThe California Environmental Quality Act is needed now more than ever. When widespread fracking is on the horizon, global warming and its impacts are ever more real, water supplies are diminishing; huge and costly infrastructure projects are under consideration at the state and local level, this is not the time to weaken the California Environmental [...]

Opinion: The pleasures of our new library

Share/BookmarkI take great pleasure in my library — the Idyllwild Branch of the Riverside County Library System. Inasmuch as I am no longer interested in drinking, nor in a good carouse, some of the delights of Idyllwild are beyond my reach, but not the library. And the Idyllwild Library is no less exciting than those [...]
