Editor: I would hazard a guess that people who happen to live in Fern Valley or Pine Cove sometimes eat out in the town of Idyllwild, have a drink in Idyllwild, shop for food in Idyllwild, do business in Idyllwild, use the library in Idyllwild and/or just pick up their mail in Idyllwild. Are these…
It has been some time since I wrote this column, primarily because of space limitations over the past few months due to Cranston Fire aftermath coverage and the elections. We managed to cover 11 propositions, one measure and 12 candidates, the last two candidates in this week’s paper, thanks to JP and Marshall. I found…

It’s been eight years since we moved to Oregon, but we still enjoy reading about events in the Crier even though we don’t know most of the people mentioned. I’m sending this photo of our trip [recently] with the Honor Flight of South Willamette Valley to Washington, D.C. There are Honor Flights in many states…

I was on a morning walk today [Monday], heading east down Idyllbrook, past Delano. It was just after 8 a.m. and I sleepily stepped to the side as someone slowly pulled out of their driveway in an SUV and headed to work. I looked past the SUV and saw, a few houses down, a deer…
Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats and dog Tex longed for homes of their own. Panther: Adoption news! Both Tinkerbell and Giorgio have found their forever homes. I’m so happy for them. Tex: As am I, but I have to tell you, I’m getting a bit depressed. I’ve been with…

William Knowland, an overnight guest at the Idyllwild Inn, met formally with Hill residents to discuss local affairs. 65 years ago – 1953 Ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary met to sew gift projects for the Veterans Hospital. 60 years ago – 1958 The Rotary Club announced a Halloween…
Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats and dog Tex longed for homes of their own. Panther: Hey, everyone, no adoption news but I do want to introduce a new ARF canine! Tex: I won’t be the only dog? Panther: Well, Tex, even though you’d rather be the only dog in…
Our village once had, not long ago, a beautiful small piece of natural forest left deliberately by the founding fathers for the sake of habitat for towns critters behind North Circles’ ice cream parlor, theater and Georgia’s. No one can see this area except for myself. I’ve lived here for 22 years. Beginning some years…
