I have strong beliefs, as many of you do. My goal in writing this column was to encourage cogitation, not create controversy, but, of course, they often go hand in hand. Therefore, when a few readers have responded negatively, I read their responses but could find no value in continued arguments in print. Everyone is…
Editor: Since when are we allowing large wooden billboards from off-the-Hill companies to advertise on our beautiful mountain? Driving along 243 recently, I noticed New Horizons Carpet has put up an obnoxious, two-direction, large billboard. This is not Hemet or any other city. This needs to go. I also saw a sign twirler on 243…
Editor: Nicole, in your letter “Evolution is not a fact” you’re correct, evolution is indeed theory and not fact. There has always been confusion with “theory” however. In scientific terms, theories are not someone’s opinion or guess, these are hypotheses. Scientific theories begin as a hypothesis, experiments happen, facts and data are collected, analyzed, then…
I want to comment after this column’s silence for many weeks now, about the responses we’ve received from you, our readers, as we continue our membership drive. Many members don’t just put a check and a form in the mail. They often write comments, such as how many generations have been coming to the family…

The show ended when assisting room mothers handed out ice cream cones to all. 55 years…
Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats learned of two new cats and one new dog. Little Girl: Holy catnip! We are so busy! Trenton: What’s going on? Little Girl: Just within the last week, we got a mama cat, a tortoiseshell and her three kittens, but the three kittens have…
70 years ago – 1947 Postmaster Harry Wendelken lamented, “There’s Idyllwilds all over the country, and all the mail for the other Idyllwilds comes to this station.” 65 years ago – 1952 Wilma Chapman was conscientious about the change to standard time. She set her clock resolutely and hopped into bed. In the darkness of…
On weekends after a major snow, our village has been pummeled by snow-play visitors. Trespassing, streets clogged with illegally parked cars, littering and other nasty behaviors were rampant. With social media advertising Idyllwild as a snow-play destination and exploding populations on all sides of the Hill, the situation will likely continue. Right now, Idyllwild has…
Editor: Enough is enough. Too much has been torn down already and torn apart. We must do something to keep our rights and liberties. I am so frustrated I could spit. What should we do?
