I began to write this column because I learned that one-third of U.S. citizens didn’t realize that the Affordable Care Act was the same as Obamacare, so I thought there was a need for enlightenment about healthcare in our country. It was my intention to base my comments on facts, but also to encourage readers…
By Marsha Kennedy Idyllwild Snow Group With fans and air-conditioners humming, it’s difficult to wrap our heads around snow. However, the Snow Group plows on, so to speak, working to reduce the impact of snow-play visitors on our residential areas and on our village that has no infrastructure to accommodate them. Representatives of the Snow…
