Editor: The Kool-Aid® consumed by IFPD personnel, its board, and the voter base of this community is sad. Recently, the 2014-15 grand jury held IFPD in violation of the Penal Code with a deadline to comply. IFPD’s response was not to comply by the deadline. The board president told the community he personally contacted the…
Editor: It appears that HUSD lacks an understanding of the real mission of their schools. Since mid-October, I have been requesting copies of “Into The Wild” for my senior-level course. Finally, on Nov. 20, I received word that “the books had been shipped, but were ‘unable to be delivered’ and had been returned, refund issued.”…

Editor and Mr. Paulek: I read with great interest your article in the Idyllwild Town Crier dated Oct. 2, 2014. I also read California AB 711. As a young boy I ate pheasants and ducks killed with lead shot all through World War II and into the 1950s. Therefore, I must have ingested a fair…
Editor: I have never taken the time to read these articles (Off the leash) until tonight. What is this all about? Why do we have a left-wing loon writing articles in the newspaper? Don’t we get enough of this in the mainstream media? Does he get to do this just because of who he is?…
Editor: Last week’s TC had a letter from Shari Fae giving an extremely misleading view of what’s happening with revising the Hill’s fire abatement codes. Scott Fisher’s letter raises some reasonable questions. I want to answer both with the following points, of which they seem to be unaware: 1) Chief Hawkins created the committee out…
Mary Zacher, all dressed up, walked into the TC Tuesday morning and announced, “My First Amendment rights are protected,” and we applauded her. Nancy Layton, an Idyllwild Fire commissioner, had filed a “Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders” against Mary for speaking out at Idyllwild Fire meetings. Riverside County Superior Court Commissioner Kathleen Jacobs did…
