Editor: Respectfully, Becky, you write frequently about the fire department in most unsavory terms. The week before last, it’s that the firemen are paid too much and we should have a volunteer fire department. You also say our Idyllwild Fire Department is basically an emergency medicine “outfit” (EMT). We are very fortunate to have our…
Editor: You are dividing blacks against whites and you are making a living with it. Shame on you. You are using your people for your own selfish purposes. We all have made big strides since Dr. King and still have to overcome many issues before we will have achieved understanding and love on both sides….
Editor: Again on a holiday weekend, a found dog was brought to the ARF House. The ARF volunteers did what they always do in this case. They posted signs and spread the dog’s photo and info all over Facebook. And they kept the old boy safe in their hands for five days. No inquiries. Finally,…
Editor: Congratulations to June Rockwell and Steven Kunkle. The people have spoken. Perhaps they should have run another candidate as a three-member slate. Smoke and mirrors by IWD board members and management have been the game to date. Board weakness/bias/self-interest are like cancers to be cut out and eliminated from public office. Conduct by IWD…

You can email them at rabiescontrol@rivcocha.org with your dog’s license number to…
Editor: The more I research the toxic effects of pesticides, food additives, GMOs and excitotoxins, the more I’m curious about the causes of some common ailments. I began thinking about arthritis. Some people have it worse than others, some not at all. I had no idea there are more than 100 different types of arthritis….
Editor: This is what President Reagan said a few years ago. It is timeless and so true. Here in American, our daily lives evolve around it. Can you imagine not to have freedom? Freedom of speech, freedom of religions, just to name two. Without freedom we would not have the lifestyle we are living —…
Editor: An open letter to the people of Idyllwild: Much appreciation for the wonderful few days we recently enjoyed in your town. It was our first visit to Idyllwild which only last year appeared on our radar. Many of our friends in San Diego had heard of Idyllwild but no one seemed to have visited….
Editor: There are 60 nonprofit organizations/districts on this mountain. Most have an agenda serving a target audience. It might be businesses, homeowners, artists or children. It’s offensive when they step to the plate claiming a hill-wide service model and in fact have allegiance to just a few. It’s even more offensive when they manipulate funding…
