I appreciate Mr. JP Crumrine’s latest Town Crier update on the Julia Romero case. I did not know Julia prior to her collision but think it is important that the Idyllwild community be kept updated on the legal procedures regarding this case. From Mr. Crumrine’s recent article, it appears that the person who can afford…
On Oct. 10, with an impressive array of experts at Idyllwild Arts, the group Idyllwild Forest Health Project with Mark Yardas and Mara Schoner presented “From Ashes: Lessons from the Cranston Fire.” Even with extensive reporting, it seems a lot of people still do not realize how the preemptive efforts by Idyllwild Arts, in conjunction…

Last week Jack and I took a long-needed mini-vacation, pulling along our 12-foot-something vintage travel trailer behind our Subaru. We left late Wednesday after finishing some chores at work. Our friends asked where we were headed? To the river? To the beach? To a lake or campground in the mountains? You know, they assumed our…
Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats and dog Tex talked about the new cat, Mitzy. Panther: Sad to tell you all that I have no adoption news this week. Tex: Oh, darn it! Well, I am nice and warm at my foster’s house. Check out the new photo of me…
