The right decision was to not use our beautiful mountain for a laser show again. We must respect the spirit of the mountain. This spirit protects our beloved little Idyllwild and us. The American Indians have know this a long time. They are sharing this protection with us. We should thank them for this spiritual…
Editor: Our Pine Cove Property Owners Association has a current membership of about 700 residents. At the recent July 7 PCPOA meeting, the proposed combination of the three Idyllwild-area water districts was discussed.

Editor: Aren’t firefighters paid to serve and protect? I appreciate their work in keeping fires from our town. However, I don’t appreciate what seems to be a racket, pressuring people into an ambulance ride when it isn’t called for. A couple of months ago, I called in a carbon-monoxide leak. I took my dog outside…
Editor: Last Sunday, while having lunch at the Gastrognome, a group of motorcyclists came roaring into downtown Idyllwild and distributed (not parked) themselves in front of the Idyllwild carved wooden statue.

Editor: There is no place to turn to pertaining matters of Idyllwild. We have our fire department and the police, handling public and safety issues. As to many other issues, where can locals and visitors turn to? We need an office where people go get advice and help. I have talked to many people about…
Editor: I am not an accountant. I do not speak their language. Trying to understand more, I turned to Google and YouTube. Do some research for yourself and perhaps you will feel as I do. Our local water districts are governmental agencies and as such, are required to follow rules and regulations that private business…
Editor: Dear Mr. Bereczky: You are correct. The Sun is absolutely the biggest factor producing our climate (long-range weather) and you also mention volcanoes, but many other factors contribute as well, such as the Earth’s tilt on its axis, which is variable and now at 23.5˚, a wobble in Earth’s rotation, a variability in the…
Editor: I attended the May 30, Idyllwild Water District workshop on the rate changes to be voted on at the June 20, board meeting, but came away with more questions than answers.
