Editor: We would like to bring to your attention a factual error in Marshall Smith’s latest article about the Art Alliance of Idyllwild that needs to be corrected. His article states that “AAI hadn’t paid its sales tax in 2013 and had to pay a penalty.” The fact of the matter is that the taxes…
Editor: I grinned while reading this Town Crier article that explained Chelsey Grasso’s thinking on naming the nation’s “Top Ten Must-Visit Small Towns.” I’m writing to express my appreciation to the community of Idyllwild (past, present and future) for keeping Idyllwild Idyllwild — year after year — and for all of the very warm, helpful…
Editor: I read your editor’s column that appeared in this week’s edition of the Town Crier and would like to point out some incorrect information that it contained. Shanna Robb was not the creator of the deer project. When the idea was created by the Art Alliance Board of Directors, she was not a board…
Editor: I feel the comments in Donna and Neil’s letters to the editor last week need to clarification. Black dot no. 1: All checks are not promptly sent out or tracked. A photo of mine sold at May’s show and I never received payment. I said nothing at the time feeling I was offering it…
Editor: I was just want to say how much I enjoyed Robert Smith’s article on hitting the slopes at Idyllwild. As a part-time Hill resident for a quite a while, I have had “old timers” over the years tell me how there used to be snow skiing in Idyllwild. I have always been curious about…
Editor: I refer to last week’s article about the Art Alliance of Idyllwild membership meeting and wondered if your reporter attended the same meeting that I did. Yes, there were a few members with a single-item agenda, but there were many facts and nuances your reporter failed to mention. For example: • The AAI financials…
Editor: I was extremely disappointed to read your article concerning the Art Alliance of Idyllwild in the Town Crier. I attended the meeting and, in my opinion, you only reported the negative side of the business conducted while completely ignoring the positive elements raised at the meeting. For example, you completely failed to report that…
Editor: On Sunday, Jan. 18, I was walking my bloodhound Dooley on a leash in Pine Cove at about 3:15 p.m. I turned off Sylvan Way to Oak Leaf Lane. Toward the end of Oak Leaf, a small gray pitbull-mix came down a driveway and attacked my dog. The attacking dog was fast and without…
Editor: It’s absurd and fear- mongering to say, as was stated, new fire-abatement laws could have prevented the last fire. I’m sick and tired of false and misleading statements. That’s as outrageous a statement as saying our firefighters helped cause the last big fire by not following existing abatement law. The cause was electrical sparks…
Editor: Canceled again? I tried to attend the fire abatement meeting last week at 1 p.m. and it was canceled. Since October I’ve been trying to find out what in the world they are doing? They announced big plans and big changes to existing fire-abatement laws more than three months ago. I see a lot…
