By all indications, I believe that Idyllwild Fire commissioners and the San Jacinto City Council knew about and condoned the Joint Powers Authority to provide fire protection service to a population about 20 times larger than Idyllwild. The IFPD chief claims he and the SJ city manager put their heads together on this thing on…
65 years ago – 1951 Izaak Walton League members took part in a work party, cleaning the Fuller Mill Creek campground. 60 years ago – 1956 Inie and Johnny Wilson celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. 55 years ago – 1961 In addition to a parade, carnival, square dance and ball, the fifth-annual Idyllwild Bear Festival…
Last week in “The Days of Our Nine Lives,” the cats continued to talk about how ARF dogs are finding forever families, but sadly the cats aren’t having the same good luck. Olivia: So, MJ, what is it about you dogs that have humans snapping you up so quickly? MJ: I guess it’s because we’re…

His experience…

Her remarks regarding photos of both suspected and convicted criminals depicted in stories in the Town Crier are, at best, pointless. To question the Town Crier’s motives is, to me, insinuating that the paper is biased toward black people. Her basis was…
My accumulation of things over the past 58 years causes me to prefer acquiring experiences as gifts on occasions, such as birthdays and Christmases, instead of more stuff. So, as my birthday approached last weekend, I decided to fly from a conference in San Francisco to Seattle to visit close friends. I wanted to experience…

The Town Crier urged the local water companies to discuss a cooperative plan. 60 years ago – 1956 It was the last trout season opener and hundreds of anglers lined Lake Fulmor. From then on,…
Last week in “The Days of our Nine Lives,” the cats were talking about how quickly the ARF dogs seem to get adopted. Olivia: You might want to sit down for this one. Bobbie: What news do you have now? It’d better be good. I have to go groom myself. Olivia: Coco, the little Chihuahua,…
New recipes are created by screwing up old recipes. The presidential primary clearly has people talking and worried.
