Hey Precious People- "It takes a village" is an old African proverb and has been used and coined from political process to literature titles and academic intentions of lesson and community building all over the world. I do not feel "stepped upon" in this regard. I doubt if the columnist was in any way intentionally stealing thunder. The basis for the parties and all other fund raising efforts on the mountain are to stimulate resources, awareness and growth in all areas important to the functioning and integrity of our community. I thank you Mr or Ms Pickford for your purposeful intention of respecting me and the goals I am setting out to accomplish up here and throughout the world-I do..but please, lets honor and support each member of this community with distinction and dignity. Welcome to Idyllwild. Introduce yourself to me sometime. I wish to congratulate and welcome this new newspaper forum to the Crier. All be well. Piper

I got excited when I read the title of this new column, "It takes a Village". I thought it was time for another one of Piper Dellums' rent party fund raiser concerts. I wasn't able to go to the first one, but I did see the movie at the film festival and it inspired me. Confusing a bit since that is the catch phrase for that new bi-annual event too, and for the documentary she made about Idyllwild. May want to get a more original title. The local coffee house was buzzing about the "stepping on toes" possibility. We are a small village. I don't know the rent party people personally. I just became a full time resident in November. But people were talking. I wonder if she or the rent party committee has seen this. I'm just sayin. Isn't there room up here for originality?
