An indication that Jazz in the Pines succeeded in its 22nd year was the Sunday headliner attendance, because not everyone attends both days and most who attend only one day just attend Saturday. So, what a thrill I experienced seeing the lumps of grass hardly able to hold a seated person in front of my…
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….
Pipen is a 6-year-old male bischon/poodle-mix. He walks well on the leash and is good with other small dogs. Not sure about the feline crowd. He is house-trained and would love to have a female companion. Not a barker. Stop by ARF or call 951-659-1122 to meet Pipen. Lefty Lou is a 10-year-young Jack Russell…

How can people knowledgeably vote for our Board of Directors if they don’t know who they’re voting for in our upcoming election? Without a doubt, our current board is doing…
Editor’s note: This letter is re-running because of an error in the last statement. Again, rambling on and saying things that are not true. I worked for water districts for 20 years. I started at Rancho Water District then moved to Eastern Municipal Water District for a better job and that year the plant I…
Editor: I was puzzled when I learned how many employees Idyllwild Water District currently employs and started to think about it. I thought about how many employees they have had at any one time in the past, what was accomplished with those numbers and also, how many employees the other two water districts on the…
Editor: Steve Kunkle, a former water district employee, is running for the water district board. I’ve read a couple of his letters, and I feel he is misrepresenting issues. Steve was a disgruntled wastewater employee and I understand the district wasn’t happy with his performance. It seems now that he wants revenge. He has made…
