Editor: For seven summers, Don and I have been coming up the mountain from the desert. Besides enjoying the beauty, hiking and music, we have made many friends. People ask us how we got acquainted with so many people when we aren’t full-timers? The answer is, we volunteered. We started volunteering at the Nature Center,…
Editor: I’ve been a water treatment/distribution educator for almost 30 years and have a Grade 5 (t5). I would be honored to provide specific training for the IWD staff. I’ve lived in Idyllwild for two years. Dr. Jim Gates Idyllwild
Editor: I’ve been watching with interest recently all the issues surrounding IWD, but it finally hit home last month when I received my water bill for $433 after my usual bill of $40 to $60. This bill was the highest IWD bill I’ve ever received in three years and more than double my next highest…
You have promised so many changes in your latest speech standing next to Bernie Sanders. How about you giving back to the poor people the amassed monies in the millions since you left the White House. Remember, nobody takes anything with them when our time here is up. Yes, you are very intelligent. Use it…
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…

Frank and Harriet Thompson wrote a letter published in the July 7 TC expressing their dislike of the “Separation of Church and State” enshrined in the 1st Amendment. I disagree, but respect their right to voice their opinion. But during their polemic, they cited “non-gender bathrooms” as an “attack on Christian beliefs.” This is a…
