A possible response to Mr. Dunn’s Aug. 11 letter to the editor. No, there are evidently not enough letters to the editor to keep the column going some weeks. Idyllwild has just as many complacent people living here as anywhere. As for hatred, it was coming from the vigilantes against their nemeses, the hippies. There…

A friend of mine said to me recently that I don’t have a dog to run in this race anymore and that may be true, though I expect my family will participate in recreation in this community for years to come. As a former editor of this newspaper, I had a lot of insight into…

Idyllwild is a great place to live. Wonderful natural beauty, great weather, great restaurants, world-class musicians, a great HELP Center, an excellent newspaper, and let’s not forget Idyllwild Arts, which never ceases to amaze me.

All of my efforts are, as they always have been, for the children of our mountain communities, not just Idyllwild, and their activities. Anyone willing to help me — wonderful, contact me. Yong…

The riots that recently had London in flames were far removed from us here in Southern California, but maybe we can take a lesson from those events. Much has been said and written about how things should have been done differently. More force should have been used. It should have been used earlier. The legal…

Our country and human nature demand healthy debate when community decisions are required. Some would have you believe they know best and must be allowed to make critical decisions without debate just because you like them. Hemet city leaders last week said there must be a major overhaul in the management structure of the city’s…

I have much to do these days. Yet, I find myself spending more time in front of the television. Why? It’s Little League World Series time. I will admit that I am a little bit nostalgic for those days. Even more, this is the way baseball should be played. No, they are not the most…
