Editor: Sorry, Mr. Kuscher, but you should never let Sunny outdoors. There are coyotes everywhere in Idyllwild and Pine Cove, day and night. I appreciate you taking the sweet cat into your home, but please rethink these outdoor adventures. Kathy Kieferdorf Pine Cove
Editor: We appreciate the excellent article on Sunny. We were on the outraged side of the “removing her from the Nature Center” controversy. So we are glad to hear things have really worked out; both for Sunny and for Gary Kuscher. Peter, Iris and Jake Davison Idyllwild
Editor: If this happens, people will die, property will be lost and a city already struggling will crumble. An act of this proportion takes months and years, not days, to finalize. Where will our paramedics or firefighters come from? The bottom of the barrel. The ones who couldn’t hack it. Where is the next available…
Editor: It’s hard to grasp how a small community like Pine Cove could ever have a surplus of over $660,000, monies raised from our property taxes that were never spent. Our local governing body, better known as CSA 38, has come clean. They can no longer justify raising our property taxes, while sitting on a…
Editor: I appreciate you publishing my letter about Lefty Lou’s death. I need to clarify myself with another letter in response to ARF. I never meant to discredit them on their work. On the contrary, I have to say that they always help with the dogs I rescue on my own just out of compassion…
Editor: First, the kudo: Your IFPD editorial last week was not only excellent, it was well needed. It was a service to the community. Finger wag? Well, maybe not so much as a request. Many of us have learned to correlate the Earth Fair with the household hazardous waste collection put on by the…
Editor: We elect an IFPD Board to “Serve and Advise” the community of Idyllwild. The chief serves at the pleasure of the board (and therefore the community of Idyllwild). The chief of IFPD is not POTUS, in other words he does NOT have “a pen and a phone.” The secret talks between a shuttered San…
Editor: Homonyms are fun, for sure, but just to clarify: Idyll, according to Webster, means, “an extremely happy, peaceful, or picturesque episode or scene …” Idle, of course, means something entirely different and it is not a part of our town’s great name. Darien Martus Idyllwild
Editor: Alright, you guys, I have a news flash for you: this is May; April Fools Day was last month. This story about the IFPD and City of San Jacinto Joint Powers Agreement isn’t even that funny. A good April Fools gag has just enough credibility to sucker the reader along until realizing the date….
Wow, IFPD wants to double your taxes to pay its self-inflicted litigation bills and calling it a pay increase. Now IFPD’s ego wants to put firefighters into a failed and closed San Jacinto city firehouse. In your face, Cal Fire. Grand juries be damned. Put an end to this feral pig. Dissolve IFPD. Jeff Smith…
