Opinion: Guns 1
First, let me say that I don’t own a gun, and I’m not suggesting that gun ownership be unregulated. Little kids shouldn’t be allowed to drive cars.

Opinion: The final word
If there is one thing I can say, it is that we are grateful for all the support and positive energy everyone has given us here at INK Book Gathering. We appreciate it more than we can say. We cannot condone the negative things being said, all we can do is support the freedom of…

I attended all series events and two times the bookstore ran…

I was shocked by moderator Eduadro Santiago who blatantly overlooked the fact that the series was a collaboration between himself, INK and the attending authors. It was not a one man show, and…

Before Our Time: Two early and longtime Idyllwild fore-fathers …
Frank Strong and George Dickinson get relatively little attention as pioneer developers in Strawberry Valley. Unlike George Hannahs, Walter Lindley or Claudius Lee Emerson, they were based in Los Angeles, and neither one resided here or took an active part in day-to-day management of their holdings on the Hill. Still, their influence was substantial. It…

Opinion: A conductor’s comments
Yes, it is true that the noise from the playground was loud and distracting for us, especially during the quieter pieces. I am at a loss to understand why the playground was placed right next to the stage. I assume space was an issue. However, I would like to suggest that the play area be…
