Mr. Kassouf of the Art Alliance does not speak for me in his letter rampaging against Shanna Robb — he is evidencing a belief in the best defense is a good offense argument. Is he speaking for the entire AAI board when he engages in these offensive maneuvers? As an AAI member, I am ashamed….
Personally, I believe Shanna Robb would have made an excellent Art Alliance president. She has over and over demonstrated her exceptional ability, sound judgment and dedication to our association.

I was reading the article William wrote and I must say that if we change the age to get a license for motorcycles — which I don’t disagree with — then we should change it for driving a car as well. Kids ages 16 to 21 have more crashes then adults. Three of the last…
Like my friend, Lola, I enjoy cooking — just not for myself and/or Jack. I’m a social cook; I enjoy cooking with and for others, particularly family and friends. Our family typically celebrates holidays around food and they sometimes culminate around a theme. For Easter, my daughter-in-law, Mandy, suggested a New Orleans theme — one…
Last week saw the governors of two states back-peddling furiously regarding laws that would have allowed members of the LGBT community to be discriminated against.

I was recently hiking a rugged mountain trail when I realized that a man was approaching from behind me. I realized this when he was still more than half a mile away, since the individual in question had obviously taken the advice to use his “outdoor voice” far too literally. I prefer to think that…

There has been a plague of phone calls by fraud artists posing as IRS employees and demanding money. Between 9,000 and 12,000 complaints about these phone scams are filed each week. The scammer often threatens to arrest the victim if he or she doesn’t pay immediately using a prepaid debit card or occasionally by cash…
65 years ago – 1950 A new Sportland was started to replace the one completely destroyed the previous autumn. 60 years ago – 1955 Dr. M.M. Null was again offering sequoia gigantea seedlings free to anyone who wanted to plant them on their Hill property. 55 years ago – 1960 Before a large and enthusiastic…
We live in a forest sanctuary on the Hill, a sky island that we, and many wild animal species, call home. Animals typically roam around in particular locations within these mountains. This specific area is their home range or territory. In the woodland habitat that surrounds Idyllwild, the boundary between the natural and built environments…
