Meet the mayoral candidates 

By Monk 

Special Correspondent 

E d i t o r ’ s 

Note: The race 

and campaign 

for Mayor of 

Idyllw ild is 

heating up. The 

election (June 

11 through June 13) is only 

days away. The competition 

is almost animal-like. 

Given the gravity of this 

election, the Town Crier has 

asked Monk to contact and 

sniff out the candidates. The 

winner will be inaugurated 

July 1. 

Three questions were 

posed to each candidate 

and their manager. 

First, what experience 

does the candidate have leading 

the pack Second, what 

is the candidate’s vision for 

Idyllwild should they win 

And what is the candidate’s 

campaign slogan 

Cayenne Pepper 

Manager: Sandii Castle- 

berry 

1. She has great experience 

based on her excellent 

people skills. Other animals 

would easily comply. 

2. Wants to encourage 

more integration of species 

at food establishments. 

3. Permanents for anyone 

who wants one. 

JoJo 

Manager: Sandii Castleberry 

1. He has a unique perspective 

on the world. He sees 

things through lenses of blue 

eyes. 

2. He recommends all 

dogs use leashes for humans’ 

safety. 

3. Hodey-ho-dee-ho, 

Hidey-hi-dee-hi, Heedeyhee-dee-hee, 

and Hodey-hodee-ho 

for JoJo. 

Since these two candidates 

share a house, this competition 

demonstrates their 

sportsmanship, according to 

Monk. 

Chip 

Manager: Gary Budnick 

1. He’s a young pup with 

a strong ARF background. 

He knows his way around 

so well he often says “been 

there and done that.” 

3. A bone in every bowl 

and a home for every ARF 

friend. 

Dawson 

Manager: Phyllis Brown 

1. Dawson is a natural 

leader. Not only is he the 

head of the public relations 

department at Idyllwild’s 

Prairie Dove shop, he’s also 

a former thespian. 

2. He would like to see 

water bowls and treats in 

front of all Idyllwild business 

establishments. 

3. The girls love him and 

you will, too!

Wood shingles abandoned

The Mountain Communities 

Fire Safe 

Council is about to 

embark on another endeavor 

to reduce the risk 

of significant fire damage 

on the Hill. 

The Federal Emergency 

Management Agency has 

recently approved Riverside 

County’s “Local Hazard 

Mitigation Plan.” This 

week the county Board of 

Supervisors passed a resolution 

adopting the current 

plan. Edwina Scott, Fire Safe 

Council executive director, 

attended their meeting in 

case questions affecting the 

local council’s plan were 

raised. 

With these actions, the

A 

Hemet High School 

student driving a 

1994 Ford Ranger 

pickup ran a red light and 

plowed through a crosswalk 

crowded with approximately 

30 students, sending eight to 

area hospitals, three in critical 

condition. Six females 

(three age 15, two age 16 

and one age 17) and two 

males (one age 15 and one 

age 16) were transported. All 

were Hemet residents. 

Fire Safe Council is now 

eligible for a federal grant 

to help pay for the cost of 

replacing flammable wood 

shake shingle roofs with any 

type of Class A roofing, e.g., 

composition, asphalt, metal 

or tile shingles. The grant 

will pay for 75 percent of 

the cost. 

The $885,000 grant, 

which has been pending for 

nearly three years, awaiting 

approval of the county plan, 

will help replace about 100 

roofs on the Hill, according 

to Scott. “It’s been a roller 

coaster,” she said about the 

grant’s approval. “I’m still 

a little bit nervous and apprehensive.” 

The local council has 

been preparing for this step. 

Scott says the prospective

Parents were also in the 

vicinity, given that school 

was letting out, and watched 

with horror as the truck, 

driven by 18-year-old Daniel 

Carrillo, mowed down 

students. The incident happened 

at 2:40 p.m., Wednesday, 

May 30, on Stetson 

Avenue, just past the intersection 

with Bulldog Way. 

According to the California 

Highway Patrol report, Carrillo 

was traveling at speeds 

greater than permitted in the 

25 MPH school zone.

Kimmerle released May 30, rearrested June 2 



The Riverside County 

Sheriff’s Department Southwest 

Detention Center confirmed 

on Wednesday, May 

30, that Ron Kimmerle, 49, 

of Pine Cove had been released 

at midnight, May 30. 

A deputy at the center said 

Kimmerle’s release was federally 

mandated “because of 

jail overcrowding.” Because 

of the federal release, Kimmerle 

did not have to post 

bail. Riverside County Superior 

Court charges against 

him — two counts of felony 

burglary and two counts of 

felony receiving stolen property 

— remained in force. 

Kimmerle had been 

scheduled to appear in court 

at 8:30 a.m. June 1 for a 

felony settlement conference 

at the Southwest Justice 

Center in Murrieta. When 

Early Saturday morning, a fire broke out along Highway 74 

between Hemet and Mountain Center, about a quarter of a 

mile west of the Strawberry Creek bridge. The Forest Service 

initial attack and follow up controlled the fire by about noon 

Saturday when this photo of the burn area was taken. The 

fire was estimated to be 10 acres. Photo by Barry Zander 

he failed to appear, the court 

issued a bench warrant for 

his re-arrest. 

Riverside County Sheriff 

’s Department Hemet 

Station deputies executed 

the warrant in Pine Cove 

around 11 a.m. Saturday, 

Kimmerle’s fourth arrest 

in fewer than six weeks. 

Kimmerle is now in jail at 

Southwest Detention Center 

awaiting an 8:30 a.m. 

June 8 felony settlement 

conference. Bail is set at 

$120,000. 

Kimmerle’s revolving 

door jail history since his 

initial April 27 arrest is 

symptomatic of the paucity 

of jail beds in Riverside 

County. California is under 

order from the United States 

Supreme Court to reduce 

prison overcrowding in its 

33 prisons, on 8th Amendment 

grounds. 

State realignment of 

many low-level, nonviolent 

criminals from state 

prisons to county jails that 

began in October 2011 

caused Riverside County 

jails to reach full capacity 

in January 2012. As a result, 

nonviolent and nonsexual 

predator criminals are being 

given early release and those 

charged and not yet convicted 

of nonviolent crimes, 

like Kimmerle, are also likely 

to be released prior to hearing 

dates because of lack of 

jail beds. Additional county 

inmate bed capacity will not 

increase for a number of 

years given the time it will 

take to expand the Indio jail 

facility.

Outside Idyllwild 

By Bruce Watts 

A trip to Santa Rosa Mountain and 

beyond … 

Once again I found myself riding shotgun in 

“Floyd Jr. Jr.” (the vehicle’s name), with owner 

Les Walker at the wheel and Cheri and the 

pups, Tiwi and Koda, in the back seat. We are 

all headed up a rough dirt road towards Santa Rosa Peak. 

It was a very cloudy day on the Idyllwild side of the 

mountain, but to the east the clouds had not yet managed 

to cover the peaks. 

It had been about 30 years since I last drove up Santa 

Rosa. On this adventure, I was looking forward to taking 

wildflower photos along the road and on the summit. 

After driving through Garner Valley on Highway 74 we 

reached the turnoff to Santa Rosa and the gate was wide 

open. Les was once again in his element as we headed up 

the mountain. I started seeing large bushes covered in purple 

penstemon flowers. This turned out to be the showy penstemon 

(Penstemon spectabilis) which was in full bloom. 

Next, I saw small patches of a low growing plants with 

pink to purple star shaped flowers. I didn’t remember seeing 

this plant in Idyllwild. As we climbed, the patches were 

more beautiful, plentiful, and closer together. The plants 

turned out to be the western mountain phlox, either Phlox 

austromontana or perhaps diffusa species. Each plant is 

covered in flowers with some looking a faded pink and 

some are almost purple in color. 

We actually bypassed the road to Santa Rosa Peak and 

headed to the highest summit in the Santa Rosas, the 8,716- 

foot Toro Peak and stopped at Virgin Springs on the way. 

Being on the divide between pine forest and lower desert 

created an interesting situation as very fast moving clouds 

pushed up over the mountain peak only to dissolve into 

a swirling mist and evaporating completely when they hit 

the warm desert air. This proved to be so dramatic that we 

shot several short videos of the thick rain clouds as they 

evaporated. 

After reaching the summit, well near the summit as it 

was gated off, we took a short walk on a trail lined with 

beautiful lupines, Indian paintbrush and assorted other 

wildflowers which led out to views overlooking the desert 

floor. Although the views were spectacular the air quality 

over the desert was not great because all the horizons 

seemed a little smoggy. The air on the summit was clear so 

I concentrated on my latest passion, shooting wildflowers. 

After we left the peak, Les could not contain himself so he 

decided to go exploring on the four-wheel drive side roads, 

off the main dirt road. This led to a “winchident.” Eventually, 

we returned to the real road and then the highway. 

Mount San Jacinto State 

Park staff recently honored 

three children with 

Junior Ranger Certificates. 

Children who participate 

in several programs over 

the course of two to three 

summers receive a certificate 

signifying completion of the 

program. 

Jensen Carmen, Malena 

Bloom, and Karina Levine 

worked hard and attended 

all of the programs offered 

at the park. They 

even participated in several 

self-guided activities. When 

deciding where to go for 

their Memorial Day camping 

trip this year, Mount San 

Les probably drove about 25 miles on the dirt roads in 

the Santa Rosas and we saw many wildflowers, had some 

great panoramic views of the desert and the eastern side of 

our mountains, and found some wonderful campsites for 

future excursions. 

On the way home, we stopped and had lunch in the 

recently reopened Sugarloaf Cafe. All three of us were very 

happy with the food. I plan to go back again when I am 

in the neighborhood.

of the interpretive programs 

offered.

the children as they 

entered the ranger station 

and the children were excited 

to see them as well. 

The children attended two 

more Junior Ranger and

them to earn this prestigious 

award.

Idyllwild’s SMASH! … 

With playground construction underway at 

our future community center, it’s appropriate 

to recall the Wright family compound that 

occupied the site for more than a half-century. 

Before 2008, you may have noticed a cluster 

of abandoned structures on the property. 

These included a lodge and two cabins for family members, 

tiny quarters for domestic help, a caretaker’s cottage, a 

green barn and attached shop, a tennis court, and an empty 

swimming pool with adjoining bath house. Scattered about 

the property were traces of abandoned shuffleboard, badminton, 

and handball courts, plus a horse corral down on 

the flat beside Strawberry Creek, near the charred remains 

of what was once a guest cabin. 

Bordering Highway 243 was the only building left in 

use, a former garage converted to a real estate office, its 

upstairs recreation room left accumulating trash. And the 

caretaker’s cottage near Ridgeview Drive would briefly house 

the Chamber of Commerce office and visitors center. 

The source of this cluster takes us back to the 19th century 

and San Jacinto Valley, where Loyd Wright was born 

and raised. After graduating from the USC law school in 

1915 at age 22, he married Julia Kingsbury and returned to 

Hemet to launch a career. They moved to Los Angeles in 

1920, but bought the Idyllwild acreage for a future family 

retreat. 

Their growing family prompted them to build the main 

lodge at Idyllwild in 1924. It was completed in time for Julia 

and the children, Loyd Jr. (“Moose”), Pauline, Clarissa and 

Dudley, to begin spending summers here. Loyd Sr. commuted 

on weekends from his burgeoning law practice. 

As time passed additional cabins were built for use 

Wildland fire ethic … 

May and June see lots of clean-up work 

as people on the mountain make sure their 

homes meet fire safety codes and are ready 

for inspection. 

For those of us sensitive to fire issues, 

it’s great to see people removing the leaves, 

needles, and branches that fell during the winter, taking out 

the occasional dead tree, and cutting the weeds that have 

been growing since the weather turned warm. Most people 

who live or own property here understand the importance 

of this activity and attend to it regularly, knowing it is 

necessary for their own safety, as well as the community 

in general. 

Some are less regular but still do it when they are 

reminded, or see what their neighbors are doing. Some 

are delayed by circumstance — illness, emergencies, travel 

— but get around to it when they are able. Most people 

know they should do it and don’t let it go late into summer. 

So all in all, most people on the mountain make their 

properties fire safe. They understand why it is necessary.

of the Wrights’ children’s families. Loyd Jr.’s was dubbed 

“Moose Lodge,” while “Cedar Lodge” mainly served Pauline 

and Dudley. The recreational facilities were communal. The 

swimming pool even served the girls at Peak & Pine Camp 

across the creek, before that camp had its own. 

See Before our time, page 26 

By Mike Esnard, Mountain Communities Fire Safe Council president 

They know we live on a mountain surrounded by a large, 

dry forest, and that large, destructive fires are endemic to 

southern California. They know that over the last decade 

we have had terrible fires close by. 

They know that whether houses are destroyed in fires 

depends to a large extent on the vegetation surrounding the 

house. They know that raking their needles and removing 

the deadwood won’t guarantee that their house will survive 

a large wildland fire, but they know it increases their 

chances. 

They also know their property looks better without the 

forest detritus (most of us like parks). They also know that 

heavy vegetative screens, like a thick wall of manzanita or 

cedar trees, in addition to being a fire hazard, may provide 

privacy, but can also hide burglars. They know that a lot 

of pests and animals can hide in thick cover, and while we 

all love to see a deer now and then, we really don’t want 

a lot of animals and insects setting up shop next to our 

house. 

Most people on the mountain know the dangers of strong 

wind in a forest, and very much like to not have dead trees

Fern Creek Medical adds cardiologist 



Dr. Ken Browning, Fern 

Creek Medical Center proprietor, 

has added the services 

of North County San 

Diego cardiologist Dr. Robert 

Orr. Browning’s plan 

is to provide full service 

medical care, including cardiology 

tests, on the Hill so 

that patients do not have 

to leave the Hill for many 

medical needs. 

Orr, whose practice in 

Vista is called California 

Coastal Cardiology, brings 

an impressive background 

to his primarily weekend

Public speaks against SRA fees 


Editor 

The pending State Regulatory 

Area fee regulations were 

the subject of public hearings 

last month. Speakers came to 

San Diego on May 16 and to 

Shasta a week later to oppose 

the fee’s imposition. 

No representatives from 

Riverside County or the 

Idyllwild Fire District spoke 

at either session. Local public 

officials from throughout the 

state were unanimous in their 

opposition to the fee and its 

appropriateness. 

Many made the point 

that local fire districts already 

impose taxes or fees for fire 

fighting and prevention. And 

many of these local districts 

have created aggressive fire 

prevention programs, Rancho 

Santa Fe Fire Protection 

District was very outspoken 

about its effort for this purpose. 

This new state levy adds 

another payment to property 

owner costs without any additional 

service. 

One person recommended 

the entire county of San Diego 

should be exempted from 

the fee. Part of this argument 

relied on the county’s substantial 

investment in rural 

fire protection since the 2003 

and 2007 fire sieges. One 

speaker estimated that San 

Diego County has spent an 

additional $230 million for 

rural fire protection, including 

equipment such as helicopters 

and an emergency 

radio network, during the 

period. 

While no Riverside County 

representatives spoke, this 

county has implemented an 

emergency network several 

years ago and is currently 

helping CAL FIRE rehabilitate 

Hemet-Ryan Air base. 

Many others argued that 

the proposed $35 exemption 

is much lower than the 

local fire district collections. 

One person argued for a 

minimum exemption of $75 

while another said they pay 

the local district $400 annually. 

Idyllwild has a special fee 

of $65 plus a portion of the 

county property taxes. 

Another major concern 

expressed at both hearings 

was the effect of this fee 

on local fire safe councils, 

especially if a Community 

Wildfire Protection Plan had 

been approved. The Mountain 

Communities Fire Safe 

Council’s CWPP was approved 

in 2006. 

Representatives of the 

California Fire Safe Council 

attended and spoke at the 

Shasta hearing and again 

expressed support for fire 

prevention funding. But they 

recommended that the proposed 

rule be modified to 

strengthen this effort and 

minimize funding directed 

toward fire suppression. 

The state Forestry Board 

will review the draft regulations 

at its meeting this 

Lanterns 

Gail Qi 

Owner 

week. A draft final rule and 

an emergency implementation 

rule are the likely result 

according to George Gentry, 

board executive director.

grantees have been identified 

and were willing to contribute 

25 percent of the cost 

of roof replacement. The 

first steps in the next few 

months will be to re-assess 

each prospective building 

then submit a comprehensive 

proposal for FEMA’s final 

approval and funding. 

“The people all want to replace 

their roofs,” she said. 

Ron Perry, Council board 

member, learned of this grant 

at a fire safe seminar. He returned 

and discussed it with 

the board and Scott. 

“We got going and with 

some help from Big Bear’s 

council we began a proposal,” 

she said. Then the board 

learned they had a month to 

submit a final application, “We 

shifted in higher gear and got 

it done,” Scott said proudly. 

The Hazard Mitigation 

Plan took a year to prepare 

and involves more than 50 

subunits within the county, 

including the Idyllwild Fire 

District and all three water 

districts. 

“While the [Hazard 

Mitigation Plan] did not 

specifically identify roof replacement, 

fire was one of 

the top hazards in the plan, 

and fire resistant construction 

(including roofs) is a 

mitigation strategy,” said Peter 

Lent, deputy director of the 

county’s Office of Emergency 

Services. They prepared the 

overall plan and managed its 

progress through the FEMA 

approval process.

Hurkey Creek bridge project outlined 



Caltrans plans to replace 

a 1930s-era bridge over Hurkey 

Creek in a project estimated 

to cost $2,237,000. 

The planned three-year 

project begins this month 

with overall project and 

environmental document approval, 

and concludes when 

construction is completed 

in July 2015. The affected 

area on Highway 74 is from 

mile marker 62.5 to 62.3 in 

Garner Valley, just north of 

Lake Hemet. 

A Wednesday, May 31, 

presentation at the Nature 

Center by Caltrans project 

personnel drew few area 

attendees. The public presentation 

had been designed to 

answer questions about the 

project from area residents 

most likely to be affected by 

bridge construction. 

The bridge, only 23 feet 

wide from side railing to 

railing, is too narrow for the 

present use by many larger 

and higher speed vehicles 

according to Shelli Lombardo, 

Caltrans District 8 public 

information officer. The replacement 

will nearly double 

bridge width to 43.5 feet. 

At the meeting project 

planners presented a timeline 

for the five phases of the 

project: project approval and 

environmental document, 

June 2012; begin design, July 

2012; award project, May 

2014; begin construction, 

July 2014; and end construction, 

July 2015. 

At the meeting the project 

was described as: “remove 

the existing Hurkey 

Creek Bridge; construct a 

two span, 43.5-foot wide, 50- 

foot long and 5-pile bridge; 

re-grade creek slopes nearest 

the bridge abutments 

for placing rocks for slope 

protection; construct four 

retaining walls at the bridge 

sides and install bridge approach 

railings; remove only 

trees within the new bridge 

path: and apply architectural 

treatments to minimize visual 

and cultural impacts.” 

Planners said that part of 

the project would include 

planting trees and vegetation 

appropriately once the bridge 

is constructed. 

Project Manager Daniel 

Ciacchella noted that 

though the bridge had not 

yet been designed, based 

on prior bridge replacement 

projects he estimated the 

Hurkey Creek Bridge would 

be constructed one lane at a 

time. There would be oneway 

bridge traffic for about

of the estimated one-year 

construction period commencing 

in July 2014. 

During that same period, 

heavy truck traffic would be 

rerouted so as not to impact 

the construction site. 

Public comments regarding 

the project can be filed 

through June 18 with Kurt

Supervisors face layoffs and salary raises 

Proposal to raise pay for elected officials 


Editor 

On Tuesday, the Riverside 

County Board of Supervisors 

will review proposals 

to raise the compensation 

of the county’s elected officials, 

e.g., sheriff and district 

attorney, as well as senior 

career management who 

are not represented by any 

labor association. Supervisors’ 

salaries are not part 

of any of these proposals. 

Jay Orr, the county’s new 

executive officer, has sub- 

mitted the proposed 2012- 

13 budget to the board. 

A hearing is planned for 

June 11. The budget proposal 

assumes more than 

200 employees will be laid 

off in order to balance the 

budget. 

Meanwhile, the district 

attorney and sheriff would 

receive 12.5 percent raises 

next year and cumulative 

30.6 percent over the fouryear 

period. The other three 

elected officials, assessor, 

auditor, and tax collector, 

would receive 10 percent 

and 27.7 percent raises for 

the same periods. 

Subordinate managers in 

these departments would 

receive raises between seven 

and 15 percent. 

The county’s Human 

Resources’ Director Barbara 

Olivier submitted the 

recommendation for the 

board’s approval. She offered 

two reasons for taking 

the action now. 

In the past several months, 

Riverside County completed 

renegotiating several labor 

contracts, including with the 

Riverside Sheriff Association 

and others. While the county 

has negotiated significant 

savings in pension costs, it 

has granted these employees 

pay raises. Consequently, 

employee salaries are approaching 

senior management 

levels. 

Secondly, Olivier surveyed 

the salary levels of five 

neighboring counties and 

found Riverside’s elected 

officials were 9 percent less 

than the median salary of 

similar officials in those 

counties.

Chip 

(male dog) 

Cayenne Pepper 

(female dog) 

1) Because pets are always in a good mood. We 

solve our differences in a matter of seconds (or 

sniffs). 

2) Encourage ALL eateries with outside seating to 

allow us to dine with our people. 

3) Because I get along with everyone! If elected, I 

will push for free perms for all my friends. 

Inky 

aka Inksworth 

Von Fluffypants 

(male cat) 

1) Have you ever seen a cat go to war Animals 

bring people together and Idyllwild is famous for 

being pet friendly. 

2) *Social happy hours at the dog park or Mountain 

Paws or ARF (helps Idy singles, too). Serve mutt inis! 

*Host annual running of the Idy-derod! 

3) I’m the equal op-purr -tunity candidate. I believe 

in change, starting with the litter box. I’m an ambassador 

that won’t do just anything for a dog biscuit. 

1) I won’t talk back! 

2) Have more pet events like this one! 

3) I am an ARF dog and is the friendliest dog on 

the Hill. 

Jojo 

(male dog) 

1) No one would be opposed to a dog! We just do 

our business in a timely fashion. 

2) We love our people near us. We like waking 

side-by-side with them. All dogs in town should 

be on leashes for our safety and the safety of 

others. 

3) Because I see the world through different lenses 

than the other candidates ... I have blue eyes! 

Paris 

(female cat) 

Dawson 

(male dog) 

1) We, cats and dogs, are loyal, honest and loving 

to all, regardless of religion, sex or race (even if 

treated rudely by someone!). 

2) Help those who are not knowledgeable and 

loving with animals. Knowledge is powerful! 

3) Because I am not just adorable and loving, but can 

read people and their thoughts and feelings from 

years of practice. I am well known in Idyllwild. 

Kula 

(female dog) 

1) First and foremost, we love unconditionally, are 

not concerned with color of skin, personal beliefs, 

or financial status. Our attention is not swayed by 

money (treats, maybe). We bring people together 

rather than drive them apart. 

2) Water bowls and treats at every store. More pet 

friendly restaurants where I can share my meal 

with my family. A community monument in our 

honor since people actually come here to abandon 

animals, knowing Idy will find a home for them. 

3) I come into contact and interact with hundreds of 

Idy visitors each week in my store. I am mellow and 

have customers who make a visit with me part of 

every trip to Idy. 

Hogan 

(male dog) 

1) Dogs and cats are loyal, thankful for your attention 

and honest. They are always there for you 

and add happiness to your life. 

2) Enhance our doggie park, provide litter bags 

and containers.

be loyal to my town. I love Idy and want to help 

make it even better than it is. 

Lucky 

(male dog) 

1) We’re blessed to live in Idy, surrounded by nature 

and the many wildlife species that it supports, so it’s 

appropriate to have an animal to represent us. 

2) A large off-leash area for romping and playing 

would be great! 

3) I’m a rescue dog like my friends at ARF. I’ll greet 

you with a smile, whether you’re a dog lover or not. 

Nominating me for mayor was the idea of my neighbors. 

I hope my smile around town is a reminder to 

donate to ARF for more smiles for animal friends and 

their owners! 

Stitch 

(male dog) 

Max 

(male dog) 

1) It makes sense. It’s funny. The campaign funds will 

go to a great and worthy cause, and I firmly believe 

that every dog and cat on this planet is more honest, 

upbeat and loving than any human politician. 

2) More water bowls at every location! No tethering 

animals for more than 15 minutes. Shop owners 

should distribute “I love Idyllwild” dog bandannas 

to visiting pets. Create and promote some pet 

events that out-of-towners can participate in. Poop 

disposal bags and trash containers around town. 

3) I will take this position seriously and try to actually 

do something for Idyllwild during my one-year 

position. My goal is to meet 100% of the people in Idy 

and its surrounding areas. Should I be elected, I will 

declare all candidates as Deputy Mayor. 

Stoli O’Rocks 

(male dog) 

1) Humans sometimes drag their tails to get 

something done. Our barks or meows are a lot 

better than our bites! 

2) Include ALL pets in more events to raise money. 

3) A purr fect cat-like me ow can be paw sitive and 

leap up to represent the community. I have great 

refur ances! 

Roxi du Dog 

(female dog) 

1) We improve everyone’s quality of life by our 

unconditional love. We practice loyalty and honesty 

without question. My political view, whether 

barking or whining, will never be a lie! 

2) Handouts to help educate the public about 

adopting rescue dogs like me and a donation box 

for food, toys, beds for less fortunate dogs. Create 

more watering holes for us along the town streets. 

3) I was once abandoned in the big city and as a 

rescue, adopted dog living the good life in these 

mountains, I can show the joy and happiness of 

my life in the Idyllwild mountain area. 

1) Dogs have a lot more power than we think! 

2) Educate pet owners to be responsible to their 

pets. Train them to groom them and spoil them 

with lots of love. 

3) I’m now the mayor of Pine Cove. I’m very 

outgoing and the ladies just love me. I’m out in the 

communities several days a week. In 2007, I won 

the Town Crier’s cutest dog contest, in 2009 Cutest 

Dog at a Luau, and in 2010 the Most Traveled dog. 

The list goes on. 

1) Dogs are honest and hold no grudges. They 

love unconditionally with regard to race, gender, 

sexual orientation and political or religious affiliation. 

Dogs want to please all. 

2) I would like to see water bowls at every business. 

During the July 4th parade, how about treats 

for our four-footed friends, not just candies for the 

kids More outdoor dining. 

3) I will be a loyal and loving mayor and make 

no judgements. I have no enemies or anything to 

hide. I aim to please and play no games, except 

maybe a game of fetch! 

Tots 

(male dog) 

1) Dogs are totally accepting of everyone. 

2) A place to park your dog and a fresh bowl of 

water at every business. 

3) Get the hots for Tots as mayor! Tots is independent, 

energetic and a distinguished man-abouttown. 

You can tell him anything — he’s deaf! At 

twelve, he’s too old to be fooling around. 

Ruby 

(female dog) 

1) Most people in this town love dogs and cats. When 

was the last time you heard of someone who loved 

their elected politicians Having a canine (or 

feline) mayor is a much better idea! 

2) You know all those great fundraising breakfasts 

and dinners this community puts on I think we 

should have an annual fundraising dinner for dogs 

with all proceeds going to ARF. 

3) I would bring a youthful perspective and unbounded 

energy to my position. I am not afraid to 

speak my mind! 

Winston 

(male dog) 

1) We are GREEN! We live simply. Our paw print on 

this earth is a fraction of a human’s. 

2) Treat and water stations appropriately placed 

in town and on trails. Community dog pool. More 

education and training for our humans on dog 

care, nutrition and commands. 

3) I don’t drool. I captivate an audience simply by 

entering the room. I have experienced working 

the town (humans placed $ in my donation jacket 

just to hug me!) I have a calm energy.


During the 8th grade commencement the three retiring middle 

school teachers, (from right) Holly Guntermann, Patty Carratello,

Preschool graduation takes place after all 




Even though an anonymous 

report forced Town 

Hall’s preschool to close 

on Thursday, May 24, a 

scheduled graduation for 

the students took place on 

Thursday, May 31. County 

Economic Development 

Agency staff worked through 

the weekend of May 25 to 

ensure the program’s reopening, 

according to EDA’s 

Bill Brown, who, along with 

county staff, was on hand for 

the May 31 ceremony. 

County staff turned out 

in force to provide a festive 

celebration for the graduating 

toddlers — jumpees, 

music, graduation cake, 

barbeque, gifts and graduation 

certificates made for a 

memorable morning for attending 

families and friends 

of the graduates. Teacher 

Rebecca Odum addressed 

the young graduates turned 

out in cowboy and cowgirl 

finery, saying, “Thank you 

for all that you are and all 

you’ll be.” 

On Tuesday, May 29 the 

Graduates assemble at the beginning of the preschool ceremony (not all are pictured) 

from left Sari Anne Muir, Mikayla Gooch, Joshua Stepien, Quintin 

Hoggan, Brynnley Meter, Aidan McLean, Zane Booth, Nathan Fisher, 

Logan Wilkerson and Harley Johnston. 


state accepted EDA’s plan to 

reduce program hours to 12 

or fewer each week and run 

the program in sessions that 

are each under 12 weeks in 

duration. With these parameters, 

no licensing is required 

under governing state code. 

The complaint filed with the 

state alleged the preschool 

had been operating without 

a required license. 

This particular exemption 

applies only to programs 

run as part of a government 

agency recreation program. 

The Town Hall is operated 

under the aegis of Riverside 

County EDA. 

“If the intent [of the complainant] 

was to disrupt the 

lives of these children and 

their parents, then they won 

for two days [the number 

of days the report forced 

closure]. But, at the end 

of the day, the community 

won,” Brown said about the 

closure. 

According to a handbook 

given to parents at the graduation 

ceremony, the mission 

of the program, now called 

Adventures in Learning, is 

“to provide children the opportunity 

to learn, grow and 

interact with other children 

in a supervised setting that 

is both warm and nurturing.” 

The new session began on 

Monday, June 4, for children 

3 to 5 years old. This is a 

fee-based program, with fees 

being slightly less than had 

been charged under the old 

program. Idyllwild County 

Recreation is also providing 

its free summer camp 

through its Mobile Activities 

Recreation Service (MARS) 

for children 7 to 13 and a Jr. 

with Florist in the Forest 

MARS program for children 

5 to 6. There will be many 

off-Hill recreational field 

trips offered throughout the 

summer. 




Happy graduate Samantha 

Hoggan with her certificate 

and swag.

Forest Care helps meet State and County Fire Ordinance Requirements 

FINAL SEASON 

Forest Care 

Ends Soon 

The program that has helped landowners create 

healthier, greener, and more fire safe forests on 

their property will end after this final season. 

Here’s How Forest Care Works 

You’ll walk your property with our licensed professional 

forester. Together, you’ll create a custom plan for your 

property. You can hire a licensed timber operator to thin 

and prune your trees according to your plan or you can 

do the work yourself. When you’ve completed the work, 

Forest Care will reimburse up to 75% of the cost. 

FOREST CARE is funded through a grant from the 

US Forest Service delivered in partnership by the 

National Forest Association and the California 

Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Eduardo Santiago’s popular 

Idyllwild Author Series 

will feature a two for one 

bonus on Sunday, June 17. 

Amy Friedman and Dennis 

Danziger, two writers who 

happen to be married to each 

other will be the next guest 

speakers. 

Friedman is the author 

of the long-running syndicated 

newspaper column 

and series of audio books, 

“Tell Me a Story,” teaches 

writing at UCLA Extension, 

blogs for the Huffington Post 

and recently completed “The 

Murderer’s House,” a memoir 

of her 7-year marriage to a 

man in prison. 

Danziger, Friedman’s 

present husband, teaches 

English at Venice High 

School in Los Angeles, collaborates 

with Friedman 

producing “Stories by Venice 

High School Seniors,” 

a PEN In the Classroom 

Anthology, and also writes 

about divorce in his recently 

completed a laugh-out-loud 

novel, “A Short History of a 

Tall Jew (Deal Street Press, 

2010), Danziger, when asked 

how Santiago might moderate 

the conversation given 

two writers with different 

styles and genres, laughed 

and said, “Amy and I have 

never been at a loss for 

words. He might just have

to ask one question and 

we’d go from there.” 

Before beginning his 

teaching career, Danziger 

wrote freelance for television 

in the decade from 1980 to 

1990. His careers have been 

as he anticipated while at the 

University of Texas, Austin. 

When thinking about declaring 

a major, he wrote down 

his goals — to be a writer, a 

high school English teacher 

and a basketball coach. He’s 

proud that from barrio high 

schools at which he’s taught, 

many of his graduates go on 

to quality universities such as 

UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC 

Santa Cruz and some have 

been published. “You can still 

get a good education within 

the Los Angeles public school 

system,” he said. 

Danziger begins “Short 

History” with an account 

of how his character starts 

each day, since divorcing his 

former wife. She constantly 

hounded him to appear again 

and again in family court, 

with serious financial consequences. 

“Every night for 

the past twenty-some odd 

months I’ve said the same 

prayer before collapsing into 

bed. ‘Blessed art Thou, Lord 

our God, Creator of it all, 

please watch over my beautiful 

but ill-mannered children. 

And once Lord, just once 

before Zack and Lily turn 

18, please let me win one 

hearing in Department 18 of 

Family Court, 111 North Hill 

Street, County of Los Angeles, 

Judge Isadore Brownstein, 

who hates my guts, presiding. 

Good-night now.’” 

Danziger has his students 

keep a journal to develop 

their voices. “Whatever they 

write, they can share or not. 

It’s their own journal. No 

pressure, no one looking over 

their shoulder. Some have 

told me it’s the only place 

where they have a safe place 

and voice.” 

Friedman works with 

Danziger’s Venice High students 

on shaping their writing, 

editing and re-editing. 

The finished pieces, some of 

which she finds extraordinary, 

are then published as 

part of the PEN anthology 

project. “Dennis sets up the 

process with the students 

in the semester prior to my 

coming in,” she said. “That 

way they’re prepared. It works 

very well. They find their 

voices and write and teach 

their truths.” 

Friedman, like Danziger, 

an engaging and gifted conversationalist, 

has also pursued 

a varied career path 

involving teaching, writing 

and in place of Danziger’s 

basketball coaching, journalism. 

She left New York and 

moved to Canada to write 

a column for a small paper. 

That job landed a syndicated 

column that evolved into her 

widely successful “Tell Me a 

Story,” now also produced in 

audio CD with music. 

In writing about her 7- 

year marriage to a man in 

prison, Friedman’s style is 

achingly evocative. “I’d never 

talked with anyone the way I 

talked with my ex. Never had 

that kind of time. Nobody 

does. But he was a prisoner, 

and for nearly seven years 

we sat and talked for hours 

every day, feet sticking to 

linoleum floors, butts aching 

from hard-backed chairs, 

eyes stinging from smoke, 

hands sweaty, hearts fluttering, 

limbs aching to touch. 

… He was paroled, and on 

parole he tried to combat his 

depression by building walls, 

first a sea wall of concrete 

blocks along the St. Lawrence 

River, and then he kept going, 

walling off as much of our 

property as he could, but in 

the end it couldn’t keep him 

in.” (from Friedman’s blog 

Dennis Danziger reading.

the words of others, Friedman 

said it began with her grandmother, 

who had chosen to 

stop talking. “I knew she had 

something to say. I started by 

giving voice, in my writing, 

to someone who could not 

speak. I think it is because 

I’m a natural empath that I 

enjoy that process [of understanding 

the circumstances 

and thoughts of another and 

helping to shape and present 

that voice to others].” 

Friedman and Danziger 

appear with Santiago at 2 

p.m. at the INK Bookstore 

on North Circle. The event 

is free to the public. 




Customers line up for free hot dogs and all the trimmings 

at Village Market. Earlier one customer had dutifully asked 

the cashier inside about the price and was surprised when 

told they were free. All were happy.

Idyllwild 5 & 10K 

By Jim Taylor 

Special Correspondent 

One of the longest running sports 

events in Idyllwild’s history took 

place in the center of town Saturday. 

The annual running of the Idyllwild 

5K and 10K Run/Walk was another 

beautiful day under a fair warm sky. 

Even though the numbers were down 

this year and the race was delayed 

for some minutes because of a fire 

at the bottom of the Hill, the race

ARIES (March 21 to April 

19) Recently obtained information 

could open a new opportunity 

for a career change. But 

temper that Arian impatience 

and act on it only when all the 

facts are made available. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 

20) You’re moving into a more 

active cycle. So put your ideas 

back on the table, where they’ll 

be given the attention they deserve. 

Expect a favorable change 

in your love life. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 

20) A friend might ask for 

a favor that you feel would 

compromise your values. Best 

advice: Confront him or her 

and explain why you must say 

no. A true friend will understand. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 

22) A relationship continues 

to develop along positive lines. 

Meanwhile, a brewing job situation 

could create complications 

for one of your pet projects. 

Look into it right away. 

LEO (July 23 to August 

22) Your interest in a coworker’s 

project could lead to 

a profitable experience for you 

both. But before you agree to 

anything, be sure to get all 

your legal I’s dotted and T’s 

crossed. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 

22) Be careful whose 

counsel you take about a possible 

long-distance move. Some 

advice might not necessarily 

be in your best interest. Stay 

focused on your goals. 

LIBRA (September 23 to 

October 22) Someone might 

SUBSCRIBE! 

(951) 659-2145 

Horoscope 

try to complicate efforts in an 

attempt to work out that confusing 

job situation. But don’t 

let that keep you from sticking 

with your decision to push for 

a resolution. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to 

November 21) A disagreement 

on how to handle a family 

problem could create more 

trouble for all concerned. Look 

for ways to cool things down 

before they boil over. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 

22 to December 21) An unexpected 

change in long-standing 

workplace procedure and policy 

could provide a new career 

target for the Archer to aim 

at. Start making inquires. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 

to January 19) You’re finally 

able to get back into the swing 

of things, as those temporary 

doldrums begin to lift. Expect 

some surprising disclosures 

from a new colleague. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to 

February 18) Rely on your innate 

sense of justice to see you 

through a dilemma involving a 

family member. Other relatives 

who’ve stood back will soon 

come forward as well. 

PISCES (February 19 to 

March 20) A new friend seems 

to be pushing you into taking 

risks — financial or otherwise. 

Best advice: Don’t do it. She or 

he might have a hidden agenda 

that hasn’t surfaced yet.

the government, local government finances 

and state and local elections. Public notice

Before our time 


Loyd Wright’s legal career is a saga in itself, capped 

by the presidency of the American Bar Association and 

a foray into politics as a conservative, anti-communist 

crusader seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator 

in 1962. (Wright captured 17 percent of the primary 

vote. Incredibly, he was actually deemed a liberal by one 

Howard Jarvis, who came in third, but would later use 

other means to impose his anti-taxation platform.) 

Wright became famous for a seemingly endless list of 

Hollywood clients, most prominently Charlie Chaplin, 

whom he represented for a quarter of a century. And 

though he represented Jane Wyman in a messy divorce 

from Ronald Reagan, that did not preclude Reagan from 

serving as honorary campaign chairman for Wright’s Senate 

bid, nor Wright’s receiving an appointment in Reagan’s 

Sacramento administration. 

The main lodge had its moment of glory in 1954, 

when Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe honeymooned 

there. Caretaker Harry Dickerson was warned “on pain of 

death” to keep their presence secret, a charge fortunately 

much easier to fulfill in January than July. 

In 1974, Loyd Wright died in Hemet. Two years later, 

in 1976, his heirs sold the property. 

Subsequently, it steadily declined under absentee ownership. 

For years the compound sat derelict while developers 

tried to find a buyer or conjure projects. Remember the 

furor over a proposed upscale resort with its Olympic-size

or heavy branches threaten their homes (or heads) when 

our storms or autumn winds come. 

Most people around here actually like complying with 

state and county laws, especially the ones that make obvious 

sense. Most people new to the mountain communities 

are unfamiliar with the stress placed on fire abatement, 

but they are open to learning and sensible reasoning. 

Most people really like living in these mountains and 

want to take care of them. Whatever personal frustrations 

we experience, the beautiful mountains are there every 

day. Most people understand at a gut level their good 

fortune in being able to live in such a place. 

Most want to protect the mountains and forest, and are 

willing to do their part. Most people in our communities 

are reasonable, and naturally want to protect the place 

where they live. 

Most people here accept the responsibilities of living 

in southern California in the middle of a mountain forest. 

This shared responsibility can be called our wildland 

fire ethic. We are aware of our risk, and we take steps to 

minimize it. We know our actions matter, for ourselves 

and others.

occupants, and a built-in folding desk. 

Tragically, no person or group could amass the resources 

to move and preserve the building. The Wright family 

salvaged memorabilia, and the Idyllwild Area Historical 

Society received some representative artifacts (including 

that desk). Otherwise, this bit of Idyllwild’s history survives 

only in photos and memories.

the personal representative will be required to 

give notice to interested persons unless they have 

waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) 

The independent administration authority 

will be granted unless an interested person files an 

objection to the petition and shows good cause 

why the court should not grant the authority. 

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 

June 28, 2012 at 8:45 AM in Dept. No. PS1 located 

at 3255 E. Tahquitz Cyn Way, PALM SPRINGS, 

CA 92262. 

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, 

you should appear at the hearing and state 

your objections or file written objections with 

the court before the hearing. Your appearance 

may be in person or by your attorney. 

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent 

creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim 

with the court and mail a copy to the personal 

representative appointed by the court within four 

months from the date of first issuance of letters 

as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The 

time for filing claims will not expire before four 

months from the hearing date noticed above. 

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by 

the court. If you are a person interested in the 

estate, you may file with the court a Request for 

Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an 

inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any 

petition or account as provided in Probate Code 

section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form 

is available from the court clerk.

Creature corner 

By Mimi and Hootch 

Paws up to Mr. Tucker, our Basenji 

mix, who wagged his way right into 

his new humans’ hearts. As well as to 

Romeo, our Papillon mix, who never 

left his fosters side. Kittens are at the 

ARF house! Reserve a couple today! 

Meet Molly II. She is a young and 

playful Jack Russell-Basenji mix. She 

is new to our pack, so she is learning 

leash rules, house training, and 

basic commands. Come in Saturday 

to see Molly and maybe take her for 

a walk. 

Many of you may recognize “Girl” as 

the stray who wandered our streets for 

many years and was known as Hobo. 

Here she is in all of her glory, with a 

beautiful coat of Aussie fur, tail wagging 

for the walk, and a paw up for 

all humans. Girl needs a home here 

in the cool mountain air. She will 

be at ARF on Saturday for viewing 

and playing. 

Amy is back! A young Chihuahua, 

she can be visited at ARF along with the rest of the 

pack from Anza. Amy loves to go 

for her walks, have lap time, and 

is always ready for the treats. And 

she comes with her own wardrobe 

of sweaters for the winter. 

Everyone has room for a teacup 

or two. Chihuahua’s that 

is. Charlie 

Brown and Chip are part of the 

Anza gang. They are both good 

with other four-leggeds, even the 

feline crowd. Charlie will be in 

your purse in no time, while Chip 

tends to just skip around. 

Be sure to check out our new 

website www.arfidyllwild.weebly. 

com. 

ARF has many cats and dogs 

available for adoption or fostering. 

Go to www.idyllwildarf.org 

and click on Petfinder. All pets 

are spayed, neutered, and current 

on shots. ARF is open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 

p.m. and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call for 

appointment on any other day at (951) 659-1122. Email

5K & 10K 


California, and no participants 

were from outside of 

the state. 

Three Marines from Twentynine 

Palms ran in the 10K 

race. This year anybody in the 

active military had their entry 

fee waived. Sixty-six people 

walked the 5K and 130 ran 

it. Seventy-four runners did 

the 10K. Twenty-eight kids 

ran the 1⁄2-mile kids race at 

the Town Hall. 

The proceeds from this 

race always go to the Idyllwild 

School Physical Education 

Program. Thousands of dollars 

have been raised over the 

years to purchase equipment 

and supplement their program. 

And it would not be 

possible without the support 

of this community. 

The start of the Half Mile Kids Fun Run, part of the Annual 

Idyllwild Run and Fitness Walk, is a favorite for adults, too.

The California Highway 

Patrol’s inspection of the 

truck concluded that there 

was no mechanical problem 

that could have contributed 

to the incident. “CHP investigators 

are in communication 

with the Riverside 

County District Attorney’s 

office regarding the filing 

of criminal charges against 

Carrillo,” said Darren Meyer, 

CHP public information officer. 

“The exact violations 

and their severity have yet 

to be determined.” Meyer 

noted that Carrillo had a 

valid driver license, but that 

he had only held it for 15 

days prior to the May 30 

incident. 

Hemet Unified School 

District Trustee Bill Sanborn 

confirmed that the three 

most seriously injured students 

are expected to recover. 

Sanborn also noted that 

several Hemet High students 

from Idyllwild narrowly 

escaped injury given their 

proximity to the truck’s 

destructive path. 

As of Monday, June 4, 

all but one student have 

been released from hospital. 

The still hospitalized female 

student, a Hemet High 

sophomore, remained in serious 

condition at Riverside 

County Regional Medical 

Center. Family members 

indicate she is making progress, 

according to the CHP 

press release.
