Idyllwild Town Crier

As a full-time, private citizen of Idyllwild I would like to cast my vote to return to the policy of one letter per person per month to the “Readers write” (letters to the editor) section in the Town Crier. Let us take the first step toward putting an end to the stream of unsubstantiated attacks against some of Idyllwild’s...

A possible response to Mr. Dunn’s Aug. 11 letter to the editor. No, there are evidently not enough letters to the editor to keep the column going some weeks. Idyllwild has just as many complacent people living here as anywhere. As for hatred, it was coming from the vigilantes against their nemeses, the hippies. There was no hatred in my...

A friend of mine said to me recently that I don’t have a dog to run in this race anymore and that may be true, though I expect my family will participate in recreation in this community for years to come. As a former editor of this newspaper, I had a lot of insight into the Idyllwild Community Recreation Council...

Idyllwild is a great place to live. Wonderful natural beauty, great weather, great restaurants, world-class musicians, a great HELP Center, an excellent newspaper, and let’s not forget Idyllwild Arts, which never ceases to amaze me. But what makes Idyllwild even greater is our community. People that continually reach out, volunteer, and make this town indescribable to someone not living...

I wanted to print this in last week’s paper but was told that there was not enough room. This is in response to the County Service Area (CSA) 36 meeting on July 27, where Bill Brown showed the community a list of issues from over two years ago that the county wanted the Idyllwild Community Recreation Council (ICRC) to...

To date I have dealt with Time Warner’s technicians and local management. Now I am trying to deal with upper management regarding their service. I have refused to pay for something I am not receiving. As a result of this, they have disconnected me. I pay almost $150 per month for Digital TV, Premium Internet access and Vonage telephone. What...

I am not working for Town Hall, rather I am using it as a taxpayer should. Town Hall is cooperating with me. All of my efforts are, as they always have been, for the children of our mountain communities, not just Idyllwild, and their activities. Anyone willing to help me — wonderful, contact me.

The riots that recently had London in flames were far removed from us here in Southern California, but maybe we can take a lesson from those events. Much has been said and written about how things should have been done differently. More force should have been used. It should have been used earlier. The legal system should have been less...

Our country and human nature demand healthy debate when community decisions are required. Some would have you believe they know best and must be allowed to make critical decisions without debate just because you like them. Hemet city leaders last week said there must be a major overhaul in the management structure of the city’s fire department. If those changes...

I have much to do these days. Yet, I find myself spending more time in front of the television. Why? It’s Little League World Series time. I will admit that I am a little bit nostalgic for those days. Even more, this is the way baseball should be played. No, they are not the most talented players in the...
