Editor: I don’t know how much credit the public will give you for being diligent on the Mountain Fire lawsuit but the timing indicates to me that someone at the necessary federal level was paying attention. Well done, Jack. Well done, Becky. William Protzmann San Diego/Idyllwild
Editor: I am surprised at the Town Crier letters (especially a prior board member) saying how the Idyllwild Water District should allow tours of its facilities. In this day and age of terrorism, water is to be protected with the utmost security. I’m not saying our residents could be terrorists, but tours would give an…
Editor: You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth. This is my own opinion. Demand one water district on this mountain. If you pretend to care, just talk about it every few years. If you really care, demand it. It’s not hard to understand it. Paying three times for everything means you don’t care….
Editor: What deeply frustrates me is to read numerous articles in our TC that are demeaning, unsubstantiated, therefore, untrue remarks and attacks related to our dedicated Idyllwild Water District. Reference to unjustifiable comments that are either not true or highly misunderstood: 1) IWD has a full-time CFO when no other water district on the Hill…

We’ll begin with those that may seem less complex or controversial, and examine those of greater public interest closer to the November election. We’ll briefly recap…

Harold Wheery and his Blue Breeze Band bring their familiar brand of blazing Motown to the Idyllwild Summer Concert Series. Not only is the music some of the best in pop music’s lexicon, BBB executes with punch and panache. Wheery, BBB’s elder statesman on guitar, returns with his regulars — Bob Henley III on vocals;…
Editor’s note: “Baby Doll” is a fictional story, not based on a true incident. Eduardo Santiago, in addition to helming the Idyllwild Author Series and continuing his own major career as a novelist, is very proud of his work coaching other writers. Hollie Overton, one of his students, closes year six of Santiago’s series on…
