We are well into our summer season with Memorial Day weekend over, Father’s Day done and by the time you read this, 4th of July festivities in the rear-view mirror. Not to put a damper on all the fun and enjoyment most people get out of this time of year, but let’s recap several fire…
By Bobbie Glasheen I would like a challenge match with, let me see … Jack Nicholson. Hulk Hogan. I’ll bet my bad moods can beat their bad moods. I challenge the entire Dachshund world as to who can claim the shortest legs in the world. Proportionately, of course. I would win hands and legs down….

Frank and Harriet Thompson wrote a letter published in the July 7 TC expressing their dislike of the “Separation of Church and State” enshrined in the 1st Amendment. I disagree, but respect their right to voice their opinion. But during their polemic, they cited “non-gender bathrooms” as an “attack on Christian beliefs.” This is a…
Editor: I have read many lettters to the editor over my lifetime in Idyllwild. I have disagreed with some and agreed with some but none have I agreed with more than Vic Sirkin’s recent letter regarding Idyllwild Water District. The wastewater reclamation project at this time seems a waste of money. That money, used to…
Editor: As a homeowner, off and on, since 1977, I really must take offense at some of the machinations of the IWD. Being open in its dealings with its constituency would certainly remove some stress. How about having an open house and tour of our plant and facilities some weekend? Using the word “security” as…
Last week, we made the tough decision to close the Visitors Center. Tough because we know so many tourists need restroom facilities and information. But the costs associated with providing those services became prohibitive and cut into our weekday staff’s work productivity. We sought grant money to help defray the weekend person’s wages and cost…

Last week in “The Days of Our Nine Lives,” some of the adult cats were considering making tally marks on the cattery wall to keep track of the days until they get forever homes. Dovey: (peeking through the window from the office) Hey! Look at me! I’m the new ARF office cat. Mr. Gray: Glad…
Editor: Many people share the religious feelings of the Thompsons, but my over 70 years of thought and research on religion provides a very different understanding. As I have written in “From Tradition to Truth: Fear, Belief, and Civilization,” Moses, Jesus and Muhammad lived at the most tumultuous period in human history. Prior to this…
