They remembered Fern Valley as a fern-filled meadow without many trees, with cattle grazing in Round and Tahquitz valleys. 65 years ago – 1952 During a major snowstorm, Ada Morlan, Chamber secretary, left an evening committee meeting….

Editor: My aunt and uncle who lived in Utah sponsored me and my daughter in 1956 to immigrate to the United States. A sponsorship meant you took responsibility for the person or persons you signed for. The authorities kept track of all immigrants. It took more than two years to be granted our visas. I…
Editor: Just thought you’d be interested in this. In last week’s crossword (don’t know if someone local designs it) there is a major goof — at least for those of us “in the know.” One of the clues is “adult beverage” and the answer was “scotch whiskEy.” Now, if you are a Scot, you know…
Editor: In a couple of weeks, I will have lived here for 44 years. So, I was here when we had a park, “Eleanor Park.” in the center of our small town. And I was here when Jimmy Johnson opened what he dubbed The Tax Shelter, a hot dog stand, something that could be used…
70 years ago – 1947 “Hurricane Force Winds Leave Idyllwild in a Shamble,” screamed the Town Crier’s page-one headline. The George Thomas Cedar, oldest tree on the mountain, was uprooted. 65 years ago – 1952 Heavy rains in Hemet almost flooded the Armistice Day parade, which included a float entered by the Idyllwild PTA.

(Looking around) Hmmm, where’s George? Little Girl: That’s part of my news for today. George found his forever…
By Bobbie Glasheen From our lovely porch on Cedar Street, I can sit forever and watch the birds change color and fall from the trees. It is a sere and ominous season … if you’re a bird. For me, not a bird, the pervading tone is so rich in memory. Actually, I suppose I muse…
Editor: We were thrilled to read JP Crumrine’s article entitled “Jo’An’s to become Idypark soon.” Like many local residents, we speculated as to what would become of the property ever since for sale signs were posted. The best of all options — a town park for all to enjoy — will now become reality because…
Editor: Tom Evans recently wrote that there is an entropy problem with evolution. This simply is not true. The popular conception of entropy is that it is a measure of “organization” and that systems always proceed toward greater entropy, which means they become more disorganized. This definition is not correct. As an example, I offer…
