Editor: Re: “Public urges Idyllwild Water to permit new construction,” I applaud the water district’s policy of refusing to sell new water meters. I have been a resident of Idyllwild, living in the same house on Double View Drive, since 1982. I retired to Idyllwild for the beauty and peace. I remember when two or…
Editor: Who wouldn’t want a better life for themselves and their loved ones, a life without having to look over your shoulders and being afraid? America has always welcomed people from all over the world but there is a limit of capacity. How many should we or can we absorb? It took me more than…
Monday morning, Jack greeted me with “Happy Anniversary.” I paused, suddenly feeling guilty for not remembering our anniversary. (I’m the one who forgets in the marriage.)

Editor: Recently, I’ve read the negative letters in the Town Crier regarding Pine Cove Water District, so I decided to attend a Board of Directors meeting. I was very surprised and shocked to witness the rudeness and unprofessional attitude directed toward the board and the staff. We in Pine Cove have a great water district….
Editor: “The State Water Resources Control Board relies on 2013 consumption as the baseline to compare current usage” is what was stated in last week’s Idyllwild Water article. But here in Idyllwild in 2013, there could have been as many as 200 homes for sale, many which were vacant. Now, most of the homes are…
Editor: I worked in the water industry for more than 33 years and retired as general manager of an urban water district. In reading the Town Crier a couple of weeks ago, I was shocked to see a letter from a candidate for the board of directors calling the district antiquated. This is far from…
