Last week in “The Days of Our Nine Lives,” the cats were evaluating the fine qualities each possesses. Dovey: So, want to hear the latest? As the office cat, I’m privy to all the ARF business, you know. Bobbie: OK, spill it! Dovey: First of all, some of us might be leaving ARF this weekend,…
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…

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…
