Editor: In response to the Michael Frietas letter in the Aug. 10 TC: First of all, any educated environmentalist knows there are many negative environmental costs associated with the digital age (increased electricity production, manufacturing processes of computer hardware and software, precious metal and mineral extraction, out-dated equipment waste and so much more); that paper…
Editor: In response to your column in the July 27 paper, I have been a long-time off-Hill subscriber and still like the physical newspaper in my hand to read. I am no longer billed for the subscription, but would be happy to at least pay for the mailing cost. I appreciate that it is a…
Editor: For some unexplained reason, the Salton Sea rose about 240,000 gallons. We appreciate Idyllwild Water District or the part-time homeowner if they were responsible for the contribution. Biking on Highway 74 is worse then biking on the I-10. This is very dangerous for bikers and autos for there is no room to share the…
Editor: At 10 minutes before midnight the doctor came into the emergency room and said, “Well, there’s nothing wrong with your brain.” After a 12-hour ordeal, eight of them in the ER, his diagnosis was in question. Let me explain what happened. I have always loved long, hot showers for the escaping, relaxing experience, and…

Editor: Now that we have all expressed our various opinions about a laser light show on Tahquitz Rock, done in the memory of a deceased wife, and lasted only an hour, we now have something of much greater importance upon which to focus our attention. At the present time, a third marijuana store is scheduled…
Editor: Our town businesses are suffering; now having an every-weekend, arts-and-crafts show/farmer’s market. I’ve lived here for 38 years. My store was established 24 years ago. Just as things start to improve economically for town businesses, we have 30-plus vendors every weekend. My business was built with blood, sweat and tears. I’m waiting for the…
Editor: It’s a no-brainer. If you don’t go digital it’s just a matter of time before you go out of business. Is there any environmentalist in Idyllwild? Why would you want to waste all that paper? The people who want to hold the paper look at it then throw it in the trash. God knows…
Editor: I was shocked to earn of Idyllwild Water District’s “solution” to the $3,500 water bill. Splitting it is like sentencing an innocent person to half a sentence when she/he deserves no sentence at all. Why not total up every water bill these customers have had and divide the total by the number of months…
Pine Cove Water incumbents Editor: PCWD and its board are a well-maintained machine with some of the best water quality in the nation.
