Editor: This letter is an attempt to set the clock back about 10 days. I have always had a good relationship with the Town Crier, but this time I blew it. In my e-mails to Becky, informing her the Summer Concerts were no longer going to advertise, I wrongly suggested that Ken Dahleen had made…
Editor: Becky, I am amazed at reading the story about Ken. As you may recall, when Pete Capparelli and I purchased the old Hemet bank where the new village center is, we were thrilled to let Ken have the first concerts there. I remember helping him to set up. If this is how he acknowledges…
Editor: First off, good morning. Secondly, too bad about that whole Summer Concert thing with Ken. You guys bend over backward for this community, I just don’t get it. Sorry as a local that knows how much you and Jack love this community you get treated that way…..it isn’t right! We’re one big family up…
Editor: To those who put on the laser show Tuesday night, you did not clear this with the Cahuilla Tribal Council first. If you had, you would have been told that Lily Rock is a sacred site to them and doing a light show on it would be seen as an act of desecration. You…
Editor: How wonderful that we live in a country where we are permitted to publicly celebrate our freedom. Even more special is the fact that our town comes together once a year with a parade to celebrate as a community.

Then, Pete Holzman surprised me Monday morning after Jack and I arrived…

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the cats discussed their finer qualities. Bobbie: Well, that didn’t last long. Audrey: What didn’t last long? Bobbie: Not what, who. Patrick. He has a forever home already! Audrey: Wow. That was fast. But I hear his place in the cattery has been filled, six-times over! Bobbie: …
