    Out Loud: Conserving water …

    ByIdyllwild Town Crier April 23, 2015January 15, 2016 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve come to enjoy washing small amounts of dishes by hand because the window over the sink affords lovely views of the flora and fauna on our back deck. I also enjoy pondering issues. So while standing there over the weekend, I considered ways to reduce our water consumption by 25 percent. I remembered our…

    Readers write: More on those salamanders …

    By April 23, 2015January 15, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Editor: We thought Town Crier readers may be interested in an apparent identification error in the latest edition of the paper (Vol. 70, No. 16). The salamanders in the photo on page 19 are not Tiger Salamanders as captioned, but are actually Large-blotched Ensatina (Ensatina eschscholtzii klauberi), another species of salamander in a different genus…

The caption claims “Two Tiger Salamanders” when, in fact, they are both the spotted subspecies of the Large-blotched Ensatina (Ensatina eschscholtzii subspecies klauberi). Since moving to Blue Oak…

    Readers write: Close encounter with a PCT hiker

    By April 23, 2015January 15, 2016 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Editor: Two weekends ago, my husband I watched “Wild” about a young lady trying to sort out her life by hiking the Pacific Crest Trail that runs from Mexico to Canada. Part of the trail runs through our mountains so Idyllwild is an ideal place to stop, refresh and replenish. It is now PCT season…
