Festive unfurling
of fun on the 4th
By Halie Johnson
Staff Reporter
The Fourth of July Parade
is around the corner
and promises to retain
the festive atmosphere and
size of last year’s event. Unlike
last year, however, there
will not be a town festival
following.
Bob Parish of the Rotary
Club, organized the
parade for the third time.
He expects about 100 groups
to participate, and about
10,000 visitors to attend.
Four narrators are stationed
along the parade
route that starts at Fern
Valley Corners at 10 a.m.
where grandmaster Ben Killingsworth
coordinates the
participants who head down
North Circle Drive where
it ends at Village Center
Drive.
Narrators use a loud
speaker to give a brief description
of each group as
they pass.
“I encourage people to
go up the road,” Parish said.
Typically, visitors cluster
near the end of the parade.
“It’s cooler up the road. But
every year about 80 percent
of the people stay down by
The Fort.”
Narrators are stationed
at Café Aroma, the Bread
Basket, the Community Presbyterian
Church and at the
intersection of Village Center
Drive.

Dale Spickler, for
many years not just
a representation of
Santa Claus, but just as in
“Miracle on 34th Street,”
the embodiment of the
spirit, if not the actual Kris
Kringle, passed away on
Wednesday evening, June
21, 2006, at his home in
Idyllwild. His kind eyes,
gentle voice and twinkling
ready smile, whether in
full Claus regalia or civilian
red plaid shirt and
suspenders, will be missed
by every child and adult
whose life he graced. He
was 75.
Spickler, ill with cancer,
had been preparing
to leave with his wife
MaryAnn to be with their
son Sandy and his wife
Veronica in Aloha, Ore.,
where, according to Mary-
Ann “hospice care, which
Dale desperately needed,
would be available. … He
didn’t really want to leave
Idyllwild, and maybe this

was his way of staying.”
Spickler, active on many
Idyllwild boards and in
many organizations since
moving to Idyllwild fulltime
in 1998, once attended
a quarterly luncheon
given by then Riverside
County 3rd District Supervisor
Jim Venable. Invitees
were asked at one point to
stand and state what part
of the district they came
from and what organization
or organizations they
represented.
Charlie Wix, who accompanied
Dale, rose and
said that he was from
Idyllwild and represented
County Service Area
(CSA) 36 and Rotary. As
Wix recalls, Dale stood,
said “I’m from Idyllwild,”
paused as if collecting data
in his head, and continued,
“And I think I’m president
of everything.” Wix fondly
remembered that “Dale

Art scramble
in Idyllwild
Referring to the 3-D
Art Festival and Gallery
Tour, “I’ve never had so
many phone calls and questions
about an upcoming art
event as I have about this
one” said Linda DeLong,
owner of Lily Rock Gallery
and president of the Art
Alliance of Idyllwild. The
event is from 1 to 4 p.m. this
Saturday, at local galleries.
“The response has been
overwhelming,” DeLong
said. “All the artists and gallery
owners are scrambling
to get ready.”
More than a dozen galleries,
most within easy walking
distance from one another,
will participate in the festival.
Many will have artist
openings and art demonstrations
in various 3-D art
forms: sculpture, ceramics,
glass, jewelry, furniture, fiber
arts and more. There will be
live music, refreshments and
hors d’oeuvres. The event is
free, and you can pick up
a handy walking map from
any Art Alliance gallery in
town.
If you didn’t know, the
beauty of this mile-high paradise
and the quality of the
art are the primary reasons
Idyllwild was named “One
of the 100 Best Art Towns
in America,” in John Villani’s
book by the same name.
Following is a sampling
of the galleries and artist
demonstrations planned for
the festival:

USPS mail fraud tip of the
week
Con artists know that working at home is an attractive
alternative for many. That’s why they place such ads. Maybe
you’ve even responded to one. Thousands of people have,
helping these unscrupulous promoters pocket millions of
victims’ hard-earned dollars.
Beware. Work-at-home schemes will not guarantee
regular-salaried employment. They will require you to invest
money before learning how a plan works or before you
are sent instructions. The work you are asked to do often
continues the fraud by getting other victims involved.
The most common type of work-at-home fraud is
envelope stuffing. Typically, there is nothing to stuff. Instead,
you receive instructions on how to deceive others
by placing an ad like the one you responded to. Other
schemes require you to assemble gift and specialty products
for which there is little or no market.
Always suspect any ad claiming you can earn unusually
high income with little or no effort on your part.
Anza man guilty
of injuring spouse
By Marshall Smith
Staff Reporter
Steven Darrel Golem, 48,
of Anza was sentenced June
19 to 180 days in Riverside
County jail, with 31 days
credit for time served, for
felony infliction of corporal
injury on a spouse.
Jail time will be served on
consecutive weekends beginning
July 10 at the Larry D.
Smith Correctional Facility
in Banning as part of the
Riverside County Sheriff ’s
Department Weekender Program.
Golem, arrested on May
18, was initially booked on
two felony counts. The second
charge, assault with a
weapon likely to produce
great bodily injury, was
dropped as part of his plea.
As part of the terms of
sentencing, Riverside County
Superior Court granted
Golem probation for 36
months. Terms of probation,
which expires June 18, 2009,
include additional jail time
of 135 days, an obligation to
perform 20 hours of com-
munity service, and paying
fees of $1,017. In addition, he
must pay a $400 special fee
to a domestic violence fund,
as well as a fee for victim
restitution, the amount to
be determined by the court’s
financial services division.
Also, Golem must have
no negative contact with
victim Gina Gosselin. He
must not associate with any
unrelated person on probation
or parole, and he must
submit to the search of his
person, vehicle, residence
and any storage facilities by
law enforcement officials, at
any time, with or without
cause.
Golem must attend a
year-long domestic violence
program and provide proof
within 30 days of completion
and not later than Sept.
10, 2007. Other costs are
probation supervision not
to exceed $252, or if the
level of supervision required
escalates, to pay supervision
costs up to $1,908.

Outside Idyllwild
Climbing season
It’s that time of year
again. The cities and valleys
are heating up into triple
digits and rock climbers,
hikers and tourists are all
seeking cooler temperatures.
As soon as it hits 100 degrees
down below and the rocks
of Joshua Tree are literally
too hot to handle, climbers
head for the hills.
Tahquitz Rock is a major
draw for the summer
climber and we see an influx
of climbers from all the
western states. Many are also
from L.A., Orange and San
Diego counties. We also see
European climbers in the
shop.
There are many places to
climb in California, including
the Sierras, but Tahquitz
and Suicide rocks are still
world famous for the quality
of the rock and their
history.
Most of the Idyllwild
locals probably don’t realize
just how important our local
rocks are in the history
of rock climbing. There is
By Bruce Watts
no denying
their importance
as a
major stop
for climbers.
I see them
coming into the shop, asking
for directions and perusing
the local guidebook for
beta (information about the
routes).
In addition to the local
climbers and the weekend
warriors from the city, there
is another group of climbers
that sets out on road trips to
climb the rocks in the California
mountains. The road
trip is the dream for many a
hardcore climber as it basically
means climbing all day
and camping outdoors.
So when summer rolls
around, it is time to load up
the car, SUV or van and head
out to the crags. Just like
the PCT hikers, the climbers
intend to be out on the road
for weeks and months at a
time. Some are pretty much
on the road year round going
from crag to crag.
If they are good enough,
they may be able to attract
sponsors and get their gear
and apparel for free. The really
good climber might even
get a little money to make
it easier to get from place
to place and buy food.
For the rest of the
climbers who have not
gotten anyone to sponsor
them, the road trip will be
a little shorter then year
round.
If they have a job, they
might have to wait for vacation
time to get out to
the crags. So mostly the
major road trips are younger
climbers who are either students,
unemployed or have
extended time off, such as
teachers.
However you swing the
time off, the road trip is
designed to allow for the
maximum amount of climbing
in the shortest amount
of time. So when you are not
climbing, like at night, you
are camping in places like
Yosemite and Idyllwild. Basically
you are doing the same
thing as a retired couple in
their RV except that you
climb rocks all day.
Climbers on a road trip
are usually happy campers,

Larger than life …
U n l e s s
we’ve lived
as a hermit,
when
w e d i e ,
o u r t i m e
o n E a r t h
may have
stopped but we leave a history
that has affected the world
within our sphere.
Many bright, talented people
whose paths have stopped
used their intelligence destructively
and left a historical trail
of ruin and harm, such as
militant leader Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi.
Others, such as Mother
Theresa, used her talents and
brilliance to effect positive
change for thousands of people
in need.
These are examples of people
whose sphere of influence
was worldwide. Their legacies
remain with us.
We have lost someone
whose presence was bigger
than Idyllwild. Dale Spickler,
who died Wednesday, June 21
after a strong fight with cancer,
was a man of compassion,
kindness, brilliance, generosity
and diplomacy.
Who of us who volunteer
did not serve with him He
gave generously of his time
to better this community, even
when he was ill: Idyllwild Community
Fund Advisory Board,
Friends of the San Jacinto
Mountain County Parks, Fern
Valley Water District board,
County Service Area 36 Advisory
Committee, Idyllwild
Rotary Club, county library
and the most perfect Santa
this town has ever had (sorry
Mike, we love you, too).
The Santa part was his
favorite. Besides volunteering
as Santa at any event where
he was asked — and he was
asked a lot — at Christmastime,
he and MaryAnn would
open their doors to the community.
Inside those doors was
a potpourri of holiday food,
drinks and Santa collections
everywhere. With snow on the
ground outside, jolly Dale playing
host and MaryAnn serving
food, you felt transported to
the North Pole. If you lacked
any Christmas spirit before arriving,
you left looking forward
to the holiday.
His compassion and love
effected positive change for the
people and the town. Dale, you
served us so well. Your legacy
remains with us. We love you
Dale and hope you are in a
better place.

‘Essence of
Idyllwild’ serves
everyone
Editor:
The true “Essence of
Idyllwild,” let me give you
my view. The Idyllwild
Chamber of Commerce has
given the award annually to a
lot of well-deserving people.
There are many groups in
this town that do so much
that it shows that groups of
people can work together in
Idyllwild.
I bet many people have
no idea what good things are
done for this town because
of caring people and that is
why I am writing this.
There is a group in town
that takes care of all the caring
people who want to make this
town something special.
What is it that group does
to take care of everyone
If you need a place to
take a test to get your food
handler’s license, maybe give
the local school a place to let
the kids swim in a pool, be
able to skateboard and soon
even think about your dogs
welfare, there’s a place.
All these other groups
that give money or time need
a place to make their money
so they have dinners, like the
Idyllwild Fire Department,
Idyllwild Arts, Rotary and
the list goes on and on.
A restaurant in town had
a problem with the health department
and needed a place
to bake. This place helped
them out, and the person
who helps all these people
be able to do what they do,
he himself is on many very
important committees and
gives his time there.
I hope you know whom I
am talking about by now. To
me, that is the true “Essence
of Idyllwild” who never asks
for anything but always
gives: Idyllwild Pines. I know
this time everyone will have
to agree with me.

Avoiding a panic
Editor:
After working as a volunteer
with one of the organizations
that helps with the
4th of July celebration for
the past 6 years, I thought
I might pass along some
unofficial hints that might
help some Idyllwilders enjoy
the holiday even more.
1. If you live in Fern
Valley, plan on using Lodge
and South Circle to enter
and exit that area between
8:00 a.m. and noon. The 4
corners intersection at the
top of North Circle will
be nearly impassable with
entries lined up for the
parade. Your blood pressure
will skyrocket if you attempt
to access Fern Valley using
Pine Crest or North Circle.
2. If you are a business
owner on North Circle, warn
your employees who are
scheduled to arrive at work
between 10 a.m. and noon
that North Circle will be
closed down for the parade
at 10 a.m. and they should
leave for work early as they
may have to walk a block or
two to get to work. We will
probably have more tourists
than ever up here, and parking
will be difficult to find.
3. Merchants would be
wise to advise their delivery
services not to plan any deliveries
the first half of the
day and also advise your
business service personnel
(trash pick up, etc.) not to
plan on any pick ups until
later in the day.
4. I would urge anyone
who must use North Circle
Drive to enter or egress your
property to plan on doing
so either before (10 a.m.)
or after (noon) the parade.
By following the above
suggestions, you won’t have
to double up on your blood
pressure medicine and you
will be able to enjoy the
holiday celebration along
with the rest of us.

and Zorro.”
How long have you lived in Idyllwild 20 years.
Are you full-time or part-time Full.

Personality profile
the USA.
Your fantasy is: I have
two really wild fantasies.
I would like to
hire a helicopter to
take me to the top
of our mountain so I
could spend an hour
or two alone up there.
I would also like to
write for the Muppets.
The best advice you received:
My principal
in Orange County told me I should move to Idyllwild,
that I would really like it there.
The worst advice you received: None, really. I have always
trusted my own instincts and they usually steer me in
the right direction.
In 10 years, you hope to be: Still here, alive and on the
Hill; and doing what I am doing now.
What you like best about the Hill: The forest and the
people.
What you dislike most about the Hill: Bark beetles and
fire abatement.
Idyllwild Town Crier, June 29, 2006 - Page 9
Your pet peeve: People who finish your sentences for
you.
You knew you were grown up when: When I was a teen,
our neighbor had a trained attack dog that was very
vicious. One day, he got out of the yard and went after
some children who were walking home from school. He
cornered a little boy. All the adults in the neighborhood
were gone and I was the only one who could step in
and help the little boy. I grabbed the steak my mom was
marinating for dinner and lured the dog away from the
boy and into my backyard. The boy was OK, but the dog
had to be put down. That made me sad, because he was
only doing what it was trained to do.
Your most irrational act: When I lived in Garden Grove,
I went out to buy a carton of milk and bought a new
car instead.
A goal for this year: I would like to save up enough money
to go back to England.
Anything else you want people to know about you: Since
I have retired, I have made many new friends on the Hill,
and I am very grateful to them for extending the hand
of friendship and making me a part of their lives.
Victims wanted: To be featured in “Personality profile,”

The Ribbonwood Fire
that broke out at about 10
a.m. Wednesday, June 21
in the Gardenlands neighborhood
of Pinyon, was
largely contained by 11:45
a.m. after having burned
roughly 2 acres of dense
brush and chaparral on a
steep hillside.
Although smoke was
visible, especially from one
section near the top of the
ridge to where the fire had
burned, there were no signs
of flames shortly after 11
Fire crews contain Ribbonwood Fire
a.m. Cleanup crews were
moving into the area of the
fire around 11:30 a.m.
U. S. Forest Service Operations
Director Gregg
Ross said the cause of the
fire was under investigation,

downed power line” as the
initial flash point.
Highway 74 was open
for one-way traffic, even in
the area where fire engines
were parked since the fire
itself was at least an eighth
of a mile from the roadside.
Power was restored to
Paradise Cafe at the junc-
tion of highways 74 and 371
at about 11:50 a.m. having
been out since the outbreak
of the fire. Paradise Corners
is about 3 miles from the
site of the fire.
Riverside County Fire
Department Public Information
Officer Patrick
Chandler said that weather
conditions were favorable
to controlling the blaze.
There was very little wind
at the fire site and temperatures
were in the low
80s at the time.

County issues fire & fireworks warnings
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
As of Friday, June 23,
Riverside County Fire Chief
Thomas O’Keefe has suspended
all burning permits
in the county. Throughout
the current period of
high temperatures and low
humidity, no burning will
be allowed. If the weather
conditions change, O’Keefe
said the suspension may be
lifted.
The extreme heat and
dry vegetation substantially
raises the risk of wildfire,
O’Keefe said.
The only exception to
O’Keefe’s order in Riverside
County is within incorporated
cities.
The county’s press release
suggested other safety tips
during fire season:
Use equipment to clear
property before 10 a.m., not
in the heat of the day or
when the wind is blowing.
Lawn mowers were designed
to mow lawns, not
dry vegetation.
Spark arresters are required
on all portable gasoline-powered
equipment
including chainsaws, weed
eaters, mowers, motorcycles
and all-terrain vehicles.
In addition, any type of
fireworks, including sparklers,
are prohibited within
the unincorporated areas of
Riverside County. Fines and
other penalties have been
raised this year to try to reduce
the number of injuries
and accidental fires.
Riverside County public
safety agencies will have
no toleranec for illegal fireworks;
they will be confiscated.
No personal fireworks are
permitted in the San Jacinto
Ranger District.

Fishing report
The fishing report gives
California Department of
Fish and Game (DFG)
news on stream and lake
stocking in the San Jacinto
Mountains and other miscellaneous
information
relating to fishing.
Barring bad weather,
water or roads conditions,
the week of June 26, lakes
Hemet, Fulmor and Strawberry
Creek were to be
stocked with catchable-size
rainbow trout in the San
Jacinto Mountains.
Lake Hemet
Garner Valley
Jackie Wagner at Lake He-
met said fishing is going well.
Water level at the dam is
131.3 feet. Last year’s level
was 134.8.
Layne Fleming and Fred
Yates caught fish last week
so they came back this week.
They caught their limit in
three hours using artificial
night crawlers and flashers.
On June 18, John Jones
and friends caught 13 nicesize
trout drifting with powerbait.
On June 20, Mike and
John Jones caught their limit
of pink rainbow trout. The
trout averaged 2 pounds.
Fish and Game checks
anglers for fishing licenses.
See the Idyllwild Visitor’s
Guide for locations where
licenses are sold.
D i a m o n d V a l l e y
Lake,
Hemet
Lake level: 1,756 (full).
Surface temperature: 70-
75.
Trout plants: 20,000 rainbow
trout on June 6, 7 and
8; fingerling German brown
trout on June 15.
Lake hours: 6 a.m.-7
p.m.
Marina Manager Jeff
Leatherman gave this report
on fishing at Diamond Valley
Lake:
Bass fishing picked up
last week. Most anglers were
fishing early in the morning
with shad replica crank
baits on the southwest or
southeast corners of the
lake. Spinner baits have
proved successful in choppy
waters.
Trolling behind restroom
3 with a size 7 jointed Rapala
in a rainbow trout pattern
has produced great luck.
Many post-morning anglers
have reported good catches
on Megabait shad replica
jigging spoons or Rapala
jigging raps. Drop shot rigging
purple, pink and green
plastic worms has remained
the most consistent method
of bass fishing at Diamond
Valley.
There have been 20-
pound bass limits reported
and many anglers have been
getting about 15 fish a day,
but most fish have been
around the 3- to 4-pound
range.
The lake is the place
to be if you are hunting
holdover trout. Anglers have
been trolling by either dam
in 80 to 150 feet of water
around 30 to 50 feet
down.

Check Frequently for New Inventory

Change smoke detector batteries
The Riverside County Fire Department is reminding
residents to annually check their smoke detectors’ batteries.
Changing batteries before the old ones run out and testing
all smoke detectors monthly can ensure that residents are
warned in the event of a household fire. A working smoke
alarm can often provide the critical extra time people need
to get out to safety.

CSA 36 approves Idyllwild recreation budget
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
In a brief and perfunctory
meeting, the County
Service Area (CSA) 36 board
approved the 2006-07 recreation
budget. It totals nearly
$277,300 for next year, an
increase of about $6,000 from
this year.
“We want to be sure the
recreation needs are met for
the community — the youth
and adults,” CSA President
Pete Capparelli said.
No further discussion of
whether enough funds were
available to start new pro-
grams occurred at this meeting.
At the past two meetings,
Director Rick Lamb had some
concerns about the adequacy
of the recreation budget.
“If you want recreation to
expand, you need money in
the budget,” Lamb added.
Although managing community
recreation has been
a controversial subject since
September, it is too early for
the new Chamber of Commerce
board, current managers,
to address the issue.
Nevertheless, the CSA directors
are still interested in
involving the Idyllwild Community
Recreation Council
Mosquito fish available
Riverside County Vector Control has mosquito fish available
for use in contained ornamental ponds.
The fish range from 1/2 to 3 inches in length and are
brownish gray in color. They do well in water 60 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, but can survive between 33 and 100 degrees. They
move in schools and should not be kept in ponds with othr fish
as they may eat baby fish.
Mosquito fish are not a native species and should not be
released into natural waterways. For more information on
mosquito fish, contact Riverside County Vector Control, 800 S.
Sanderson Ave., #200, Hemet, CA 92543 or at (951) 766-9454.
(ICRC) in more activities. Yet,
none of the new Chamber
directors have approached
the CSA board about the
recreation contract, Capparelli
said.
“I thought one would
be here,” said Mike Freitas,
CSA director. “Do we have
to invite them”
When asked about the
Chamber’s absence, Chamber
President Bill Triplett said,
“I’ll definitely be at the next
meeting.” He also hopes to
meet with Diane Cardinalli,
ICRC chairperson, before the
CSA meeting.
The board agreed to invite
a Chamber representative to
its July meeting to discuss the
Chamber’s recreation plans.
At that time, the CSA board
also plans to discuss changing
the title of the Town Hall
director to director of community
recreation, Capparelli
said.
The next CSA 36 meeting
will be at 5:30 p.m. Thursday,
July 13.
J.P. Crumrine can be
reached at jp@towncrier.com.
Idyllwild Fire Chief Steve Kunkle calls to
inquire if the Idyllwild Fire Department meeting
room can be used for the County Service
Area (CSA) 36 meeting last week. The CSA 36
board normally meets at the Idyllwild Water
District, but was locked out last week because
IWD changed the locks. This was necessary
because the new Chamber of Commerce board
could not account for a missing key. CSA 36
President Pete Capparelli (left) discusses
the dilemma with Director Rick Lamb. Patiently
sitting and awaiting a decision is
CSA 36 Recording Secretary Suzon Capparelli.

Forest Service identifying OHV trails
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
The Forest Service began
a series of community meetings
to collect comments and
information for its off-highway
vehicle (OHV) routes in
the San Bernardino National
Forest (SBNF).
Unlike the public session
for the mountain bike trails
in November, the turnout
Monday evening was conspicuously
fewer. By 7 p.m.,
halfway through the twohour
session, five people
arrived at the session.
This issue just is not as
salient for the San Jacinto
Ranger District as it is in
the rest of the SBNF. One
reason is the local terrain
is not conducive to motorized
travel, according to Jim
Ponds, an active member of
the San Bernardino National
Forest Association (SBNFA),
a volunteer group organized
to help with forest projects.
He is from Cherry Valley
and also a member of several
motorized groups.
“I’m up here making sure
everything that is needed is
what is designated and what
is not,” he said.
Ponds explained that there
is more mountain biking
interest on this side of the
I-10 freeway compared to the
other SBNF ranger districts.
This side of the mountain is
too steep up and down for
OHV users.
“Consequently, OHV users
know there is too much
resource damage,” Ponds said.
“They know better and how
to use the forest roads.”
DMV expands Internet services
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
has added new online services to its Internet appointment
system. Customers will now be able to book Class C or
motorcycle driving tests or schedule up to three separate
appointments via the DMV’s Web site (www.dmv.ca.gov).
The features are available 24 hours a day, seven days
a week and appointments can be scheduled at any of the
field offices.
Ne ver theless, Laur ie
Rosenthal, San Jacinto District
ranger, was available to
answer questions and discuss
the topic with anyone who
attended the session.
“Driving for pleasure is
the number 1 recreation
opportunity in this district.
That should be no surprise,
it’s also the number 1 in the
country,” she said. “People
will drive along the scenic
highway, perhaps stop and
use the Ernie Maxwell Trail
or even venture on Devil’s
Slide.” Some visitors will
even drive the unpaved Black
Mountain Road for its scenery
and challenge, Rosenthal
said.
There are about four designated
OHV trails in the San
Jacinto District, according to
John Ladley, district recreation
officer. Two are off of
Bautista Canyon Road. The
Alessandro is narrow and
steep for motorcycles. The
Hixson is only 54 inches
wide. Motorcycles and quads
can use it.
The other OHV trails
originate in Bee Canyon.
The more familiar is the San
Jacinto Truck Trail that terminates
near Pine Cove. The
other is the Indian Mountain
Truck Trail that terminates
near Indian Vista, Ladley
said.
OHV trails must be designated
for use. The purpose
of the meetings that
ended Wednesday in Running
Springs is to identify
the highest priority trails for
designation and restoration,
if necessary.
The Forest Service criteria
Hosts needed for Indonesian students
Families to host one or two Indonesian students between
the ages of 13 and 15 are needed from Tuesday, June 27 to
Saturday, July 8. The students will need a bed, breakfast and
dinner at the host house, but will be attending classes at
Idyllwild School during the day.
Anyone needing more information or who is able to host
a student should call Carol Acosta at 659-2658 or e-mail
cacosta@greencafe.com.
includes trails that provide
significant recreation benefits,
have minimal environmental
impact, resolve unauthorized
trespass or entity problems,
and avoid negative impacts
on threatened, endangered
or sensitive plant or animal
species.
The SBNF has already
complied an inventory of
trails and is asking the public
to verify the routes and express
preferences for designation.
The SBNF hopes to have
a new motorized trail map
available by September.

Continued from page 1
Many new groups joined
this year’s parade. Parish listed
the Associates of Idyllwild
Arts who will feature a saxophone
player and promote
the Jazz in the Pines festival.
The Idyllwild Pedicab
Company, a new group of
volunteer pedicab drivers
who accept donations for
scholarships for Idyllwild
School students, will also
join this year, Parish said.
Shiloh Christian Ministries
and Bikers for Christ
will participate for the first
time.
The soon-to-be Farmers
Market is making its appearance,
as is the new Idyllwild
Life magazine.
The Star Bagpipe Band
from Riverside will march
as well. “We have to keep
them away from the horses,”
Parish said.
Ron Korman of Hilltop
Horsemen also asked
that parade-goers be cautious
around the Hilltop
horses. “The horses are
well-trained, but they have
not been trained to have
candy thrown at them,”
Korman said. He also advised
that drivers refrain
from honking their horns,
revving their engines or
coming close to the horses
in a vehicle.
“If you want to pet a
horse, ask the rider if that’s
OK. If you have questions
about the horses, we’ll be
happy to answer your questions,”
Korman said.
This year’s parade is dedicated
to Dale Spickler who
died June 21, was an active
community member for
many years and a full-time
Idyllwild resident since 1998.
During his time on the Hill,
Spickler served many community
organizations including,
most recently, the Fern
Valley Water District and the
Rotary Club. (See story page
1.)
Idyllwild Pharmacy owners
Mel and Dottie Goldfarb
were selected by the Rotary
as the parade’s grand marshals.
The Goldfarbs opened
the pharmacy in 1978.
The theme of this year’s
parade is “And the Children
Shall Lead Them.” Parish
expects about 60 children
who are part of the Town
Hall Recreation program to
lead the parade.
Unlike last year, there
will not be a town festival
following the Parade.
“The Rotary did not
extend the insurance and
permits this year,” Idyllwild
Chamber of Commerce Secretary
Tamon Bennett-Natoli
said. He said that because of
the recent overhaul of the
Chamber Board of Directors,
the new board did not
have time to plan for any
additional festivities.
Although last year’s town
festival was well-attended,
the Chamber lost about
Open House
25075 Franklin Drive
Saturday, July 1 • 12-4 p.m.
$3,700 from the event, Bennett-Natoli
said.
Next year, Bennett-Natoli
hopes to organize some kind
of small festival for the children.
It could potentially be
a Town Hall fund-raiser, he
said.
“We’re not participating
because it just came upon
us too quickly,” Chamber
1st Vice President Geoffrey
Caine said.
The July Fourth weekend
offers a number of activities
for locals and visitors. The
Art Alliance of Idyllwild is
having its 3-D Art Festival
& Gallery Tour from 1 to 4
p.m. throughout Idyllwild
galleries. (See story page
1.) The Alliance also hosts
the Saturday Morning Art
Café with Lisa Lindahl demonstrating
hot patination
bronze coloration from 11
a.m.-1 p.m. at Everitt’s Minerals
& Gallery.
Steve Woods, the coordinator
for the Idyllwild
Historic Encampment at
Idyllwild Pines, said the
event is open to the public
on Saturday. The Encampment
is a live rendition of
historic Idyllwild.
Jo’An’s Restaurant and
Bar offers live music from
11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
Saturday in the beer garden
with the band Straight Up
performing at 9 p.m. inside.
The American Legion hosts
its traditional Independence

4 to 8 p.m. at the Legion
Post 800. The JavaLounge
has Rick Knowlton on piano
from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday
and Sandii Castleberry on
guitar and vocals and Ron
Daigh on banjo from 5 to
8 p.m.
Other Saturday evening
events include artist Amy
Silman giving a lecture at 7
p.m. in the Weston Room
at the Krone Library at
Idyllwild Arts for the Painting’s
Edge series. The Rustic
Theatre is showing “Click”
with matinée times also on
Saturday and Sunday.
Scones Bakery, Tea & Coffee
hosts live music from 1 to
4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

IWD plans onsite waste maintenance program
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
The Idyllwild Water District’s
(IWD) directors devoted
most of last week’s
meeting to discussing the
future. A new program, a new
budget and the plan to renew
the land use permit were the
primary topics during the
evening.
Maintenance of
onsite waste
treatment sites
For nearly a year, the board
has been discussing the introduction
of alternative onsite
wastewater treatment systems
(OWTS) to the district. The
state is preparing regulations
to encourage these systems
on land where conventional
septic systems would not
function.
In May, the Riverside
County Board of Supervisors
passed an ordinance authorizing
an OWTS whenever
a septic system has failed.
The county Department of
Environmental Health (DEH)
is already testing these alternative
systems in other parts of
the county.
IWD is encouraging installing
a system on the Hill.
After speaking with the DEH,
General Manager Terry Lyons
presented a plan to the board
with the support of the Septic
and Reclaimed Water Committee,
chaired by Director
Mike Freitas.
“Because of the high levels
of groundwater in some locations,
we investigated whether
SHARON LASKIN
REALTOR-ASSOCIATE
Cell: (714) 745-3727
we had an answer for people
in the future,” Freitas said.
IWD plans to become the
certified service provider for
one or more of the approved
OWTS manufacturers. According
to Lyons, the county
is willing to permit one system
on the Hill. This would
be a one-year pilot test of the
utility of the system in this
environment.
Riverside County will require
homeowners to have
a contract with a service
provider to ensure adequate
maintenance of the OWTS.
Proof of maintenance service
will be necessary before the
county permits installing the
system.
IWD intends to become
the local maintenance service.
Lyons presented the board
with a draft service agreement
between the district
and potential homeowners.
The initial maintenance cost
would be $525 annually.
Any system failures would
still be the responsibility of
the property owner, not the
district, Lyons assured the
board.
“I want to stress we have
nothing to do with septic
tanks now or in the past,” Freitas
said. “With the new systems,
which are pretty much
the same, all we’re doing is
becoming the maintenance
service group. All we have to
do is train some staff.”
The decision of which
system to install is the property
owner’s and dependent
upon which systems Riverside
County approves. IWD would

service any OWTS provider
eligible to install a system
within its jurisdiction.
Lyons did add that IWD
could not maintain systems
outside the district unless it
had an agreement with Fern
Valley or Pine Cove water
districts.
IWD President Allan Morphett
announced that he, Freitas
and Lyons would present
the proposed pilot program
to the Idyllwild Board of
Realtors on July 17.
Following the board’s discussion,
Justin Jones of Inland
Backhoe offered several
suggestions and raised some
questions. Jones was very
supportive of the alternative
systems. He acknowledged
that California was slow to
adopt this technology compared
to most other states.
“There are only a handful
of properties that meet the requirements
for the advanced
systems,” Jones said. “This
system is not a perfect cureall
for everything. I consider
sewer lines the only safe option
for high groundwater
sites.”
He then added, “The water
district should not consider
investing too much in becoming
a service representative. If
I became a certified installer,
I could offer service as well
and perhaps free with installation.”
“If Justin wants to do that,
fine. We’re not in competition,”
Morphett said later. “We
just want the job done. We
were only planning to do it
because no one else seemed
prepared, so we were stepping
up to the plate.”
Test well results and
water usage
The pumping results for
test wells nos. 5 and 6 were
very encouraging, according
to Lyons. He announced
plans to develop both test
wells next year. The estimated
production rates were 20 to
25 gallons per minute (gpm)
for one well and 25 to 30 gpm
for the other well.
“These are drought wells,
not primary wells,” he stressed.
“I expect they will be online
next spring.” The cost of producing
water from these wells
will be about four times the
cost of water from the Foster
Lake wells — the reason why
they will be reserve wells.
Well no. 26 and the two
test wells bring the district’s
total water production to 585
gpm, only 10 percent short of
its summertime goal of 650
gpm, Lyons added.
Lyons attributed the success
at these two sites compared
to the four test sites on
the Idyllwild Pines campus to
his use of the electroseismography
studies. The new wells
will be a welcome addition to
the IWD reserves.
For the first five months of
2006, district production was
nearly 10 percent more than
the comparable period in
2005. Fern Valley Water District
is experiencing a similar
surge in usage through April.
But Pine Cove customers have
only increased usage by 6,000
gallons or 0.5 percent through
54278 No. Circle Drive

May.
Budgets — current and
future
Although the current year
water budget income is shy of
the projected net income for
the first 11 months, IWD has
still generated $96,000 for the
water budget and $100,000 in
sewer income.
The board also adopted a
budget for the 2006-07 fiscal
year.
“There is no rate increase
— base or usage,” announced
Director Jim Billman. He
described several highlights,
including that the program
operating expenses are only
0.5 percent higher, rehabilitating
five wells, recoating a
Foster lake tank, developing
two well sites, completing
the videotaping of the distribution
system and some
mainline replacement work.
The total 2006-07 water
budget is $796,000 and
the projected net income is
$337,000. The sewer budget
is estimated to be $402,000
with a $116,000 net income.
“We tried to trim as much
as possible in light of fuel and
power costs this year,” Lyons
said.
The capital budgets, particularly
sewer, grow considerably
next year. Water

investments go from $195,000
to $348,000 and sewer will
increase to $297,000 from
only $1,350 this year. Almost
all the sewer capital expenses
will be for coating pipeline
from the treatment plant to
the sludge ponds.
After completing the maintenance
work on the five
wells, Lyons hopes to increase
their production by 25 gpm,
equivalent to a new well.
Solar project
The IWD Foster Lake
solar project has been operational
since November.
Controller/Auditor Jim Ludy
presented an interim report
of the results through May. A
total of 41,900 kilowatts have
been generated. The project
has saved the district $2,750
in electric charges, including
a total offset in April and
May.
Forest Service Permit
The studies necessary to
renew the permit for the
wastewater treatment plant
on Forest Service land are
underway, Lyons reported.
Near the end of July or early
August, Lyons anticipates a
public meeting to describe
the plan and proposal. This
will be coordinated with the

Fishing
Continued from page 12
For those not equipped
with down riggers or lead core
line, Pink Lady diving planes
have helped anglers achieve the
desired depth. Shad and trout
pattern lures such as Megabait
spoons, varied crank baits,
Needlefish and Kastmasters have
been the most prevalent baits.
Anglers have been moving to
bigger lures due to an increase
in the size of the bait fish.
Trolling night crawlers combined
with flashers has also been
successful. There have also been
a boom in Powerbait reports.
Anglers have been rigging
heavy sinkers on their line, then
dropping their bait down to the
procedure which cut out 75

told the board.
The state agency’s acceptance
of the plan will save
IWD nearly $10,400 annually
in water testing costs. For this
idea, the board presented a
$500 check to Kunkle.
“I really appreciate everything
you’ve done,” Morphett
said to Kunkle. “You lead by
setting an example.”

There have been reports of
hefty limits ranging from 2 to
5 pounds per fish. The trout
fishing has been so hot that
anglers have been releasing up to
20 fish a day after catching their
desired limits. Alexis Martinez of
Downey caught a 5.59-pound
trout on the East Dam using
Powerbait.
Mitch Marone of La Canada
caught a limit of holdover trout
with the biggest near 5 pounds.
Mitch was trolling the East Dam

are on night crawlers or chicken

It also was another great
week for pan fish. Blue gill have
been concentrated around the
stairways on either dam. Crappie
have been appearing near the
Saddle Dam and the northeast
corner of the lake. Both species
have been biting live worms or
mini-jigs.
Nany blue gill catches have
been around the 1-pound range
and even more crappie catches
near 3 pounds.
Jesse Mena of Hemet caught
a striper. The last reports of
striper were the week before.
Most were surface catches on the
East Dam and near restroom 3.
Mega bait and Castaic trout pattern
swim baits have had the best
success. The biggest striper last
week weighed 26.6 pounds.
Lake Records: Art Berry of
Hemet, 29.77-pound striper
caught at East Dam using swimbait;
Keith Thomas, 3-pound
crappie using shiners; and John
Arganda of Menifee, 3.06-pound
blue gill caught on a night
crawler fishing near the Saddle
Dam.

ʻEnlightenmentʼ
Anza tennis courts still need funds
Tulvio Durand, recently
appointed secretary for the
Anza Valley Municipal Advisory
Committee (AVMAC) reported
that Verne Lauritzen, chief of
staff for 3rd District Supervisor
Jeff Stone confirmed a Community
Development Block
Grant (CDBG) for $100,000
dollars in order to construct
tennis courts at Anza Valley’s
Hamilton High School at 57430
Mitchell Road.
The problem, according to
Durand, is that the application
request was for $200,000
dollars, and receiving only
part of the request topples a
chain of dominoes reaching to
Hemet Unified School District
(HUSD).
The conditions of the application,
which Durand, who
taught for a year at Hamilton
before retiring, prepared, called
for HUSD to provide funding
in the amount of $250,000 dollars
“contingent upon obtaining
the CDBG in the full amount
requested of $200,000.”
The likelihood of construction
anytime soon is additionally
complicated by the
fact that Measure C, a School
Improvement Bond for HUSD
on the June 6 primary election
ballot failed to pass. It had no
significant opposition within
the voting community.
The measure would have
provided $149 million dollars
in bonds to relieve student
overcrowding by building new
schools, making repairs and improvements
to existing schools
throughout the District, and
making the District eligible
for State matching funds. As
required by Proposition 39,
passed by California voters on
November 7, 2000, measures
authorizing general obligation
bonds must be passed by 55
percent of voters in order to
succeed. Measure C failed by a
52.88 percent to 47.12 percent
margin, missing passage by a
little over 2 percentage points,
even though carefully worded
to include bond issuance at the
lowest possible rates, annual
review by a citizens oversight
committee, that no bond funds
be used for administrative salaries,
and that all funds would
be spent locally and could not
be transferred to the state.

Durand said that Richard

C’s failure Hemet Unified

Local biker is inspiration to young and old
By Marcia E. Gawecki
Correspondent
At age 61, she’s not baking
cookies or watching TV but
racing with her mountain
bike across rocks, down cliffs
and in knee-deep mud against
men half her age. She races 50
miles, 100 miles or all night
if she has to. Sometimes, she
falls off and gets scraped up,
but more often than not, she
comes home with a medal.
“I’m known as the ‘old
lady with the green bike,’” said
Wendy Skean, a competitive
mountain biker from Garner
Valley. She is tops in her age
group and has even set some
records. “It sounds good, but
there aren’t many women my
age racing competitively,” she
said.
Skean won second place
in the 24 Hours of Adrenalin
50-mile race held last month
at Hurkey Creek in Idyllwild,
and second place at the Whiskey
Off-road 50-mile race in
Prescott, Ariz.
“I made the Whiskey race
in 6:44:30, which was 27
minutes slower than my time
last year,” she said. But she
was happy with her consistency
and ability to ride the
rocky trails. She had to walk
when the trail narrowed into
a single lane and fell once in
packed dirt, scraping her right
forearm and shin.
“It’s my badge of honor,”
she said with a smile. She had
poured water on her bloody
wounds, picked up her bike
and kept riding. Her sons,
Jeff and Randy Wolfe, from
Colorado and Arizona, were
accompanying her.
The Whiskey Off-road race
was the reason why Skean
didn’t race in the Idyllwild
Spring Challenge race held the
same weekend. “It’s too bad
they were held at the same
time because I really wanted
to race in both,” she said. “But
I had to be with my family.”
Skean had participated in the
Idyllwild race that premiered
last year.
She used the 24 Hours of
Adrenalin race to build up
her endurance for a 100-mile
race she plans to do later this
summer. “I was only one of
two women in the 24 Hours
of Adrenalin race,” she said.
Normally, when she participates
in those races, she only
rests for an hour at the most.
However, at the 24 Hours of
Adrenalin, she raced for six
hours, then went home, ate
and slept for several hours.
She completed six laps
and still won second place.
“Since that race was only 6
miles away, I had the luxury
of going home,” she said.
The 24 hour races are fun,
she said, but most require
night riding which she doesn’t
like to do alone. “Nothing is
worse than your lights going
out with several laps to
go,” she said. That’s why she
packs extra batteries for her
headlight. “The best anyone
can do is follow the guy in
front of you,” she said.
Following her divorce at
age 45, Skean started running
marathons and triathlons with
her teen-age sons. “We did
everything together,” she recalled.
“I needed to keep them
active and off the streets.”
When her knees wore out,
Skean turned to mountain
biking. She said she lost a little
weight, but mostly gained a
lot of confidence. “I’d like to
see more women out there
racing competitively,” she said.

Owen directs Cahuilla documentary film, ‘Borderlands’
By Marshall Smith
Staff Reporter
S e a n Owen, former
Idyllwild Arts (IA) dean of
students, recently wrapped
a yearlong journey of making
his documentary film,
“Borderlands.” It is the story
of Native American Cahuilla
Gerald Clarke, his art, his
community and his return,
upon his father’s death, from
a tenured university teaching
position in Oklahoma
to the reservation home he
inherited from his father.
Owen said that his film
“emphasizes contemporary
rather than historical perspectives,
contains interviews
with Gerald, other Cahuilla
tribal members, including
elders, and centers on the
themes of mixed blood,
adaptation to reservation
life and cultural identity.
Gerald’s performance art,
satirizing television shows
(such as ‘Antiques Road
Show’ and ‘Extreme Makeover’)
highlights the dilemmas
and incongruities of Native
American life today.”
Owen, who in addition
also taught in the IA Moving
Pictures Department,
had met Clarke at IA, where
Clarke was teaching sculpture
and mixed media parttime.
“I originally thought the
documentary would focus
[only] on Clarke’s art, but
found, in spending time
with Clarke and his extended
family on the reservation,
that the film would better
be about Clarke’s transition
from his [assistant professor
of art] teaching position
at East Central University
[ESU] in Ada, Okla., to
reservation life.”
For Owen, directing the
film also became his own
personal journey — dropping
into Cahuilla family
and tribal ways during his
year with Clarke, much of
it on the reservation, and
experiencing the differences
between Cahuilla life and his
own.
When asked what, in his
judgment, made Clarke’s
return to reservation life
so compelling, or what he
thought the overarching
theme of the film might be,
Owen thought for a while
and said, “It’s about the
clan-based family nature of
the Cahuillas” — how families
must all move together,
not separate or live too far
apart.
“It’s about what makes
a Cahuilla a Cahuilla, how
there are no boundaries, how
that anyone can show up [at
a Cahuilla home] at anytime
[with no invitation or notice
and be welcomed].
“And, for a boundarydependent
white guy, that
is heartening.” Owen said
this familial glue that is
such a part of the Cahuillas
“sometimes makes it difficult
for the tribe as a whole.”
Clarke, the titular center
of “Borderlands,” was
born in Hemet and until
his parents’ divorce, lived
on the Cahuilla reservation
in Anza. He then moved
with mother and siblings to
Orange County, then at 16
with his mother and sister
to Arkansas to finish high
school.
He attended vocational
school where he learned
welding. After working two
years as a welder, he enrolled
at the University of Central
Arkansas, earning a bachelor’s
degree with honors in
painting and sculpture. He
then obtained a master’s
degree in arts and one in fine
arts from Stephen F. Austin
State University in Texas.
He went on to head the
art department at Northeast
Texas Community College in
Mount Pleasant, Texas, then
to ESU as assistant professor
of art. Clarke was absent
from reservation life from
the age of 16 until his return
upon his father’s death.
“Every generation has
an occasional artist of great
importance emerge and that
artist is often challenging
people’s stereotypes and not
taking the market defined
or the road defined by the
popular market — they are
not playing Indian to the
greater population. Gerald
Clarke is such an artist,” said
Dr. Joe Baker, Delaware (Lenape)
tribe member, Lloyd
Kiva new curator of fine
arts at the Heard Museum
in Phoenix, Ariz., and one of
the panelists who will speak
after the IA screening.
“This is a serious film
about a Cahuilla artist and
the Cahuilla people done
with good humor,” said Dr.
Lowell J. Bean, author of
“Mukat’s People, the Cahuilla
Indians of Southern
California,” published by
“Borderlands” director Sean Owen (far left) sits
at the Cahuilla Tribal Hall in the Anza reservation
after a special screening of the film for tribal
members and guests. With him are Cahuilla
the University of California
Press. “If I were still teaching
in the University of California
system, I would use this
film in my classes.”
Reflecting about completing
“Borderlands,” Owen
said, “I was so nervous when
I screened the film [at the
tribal screening] being a guy
from the outside, making a
film about a very different
culture. But they saw the
film, laughed in all the right
places, and when the lights
came up, there was loud applause
and lots of wonderful
questions for Gerald.” Owen
said he relaxed after that.
Owen, an avid climber,
said he came to IA from
a previous job as dean of
students “so [he] could continue
climbing. … [After
historian and author Dr. Lowell J. Bean, and
Gerald Clarke, Cahuilla Indian and, along
with his family and tribe, the subject of Owen’s
film.

10 years] I retired from
Idyllwild Arts so that I could
make films. [It’s] the best
thing I ever did.” He laughs
that instead of facing the
many student crises any
dean of students faces, “the
biggest crisis I have now is
getting the master DVD of
‘Borderlands’ finished for the
Idyllwild screening.”

“It’s never been off,”
replied Roy Regalado when
asked if the Idyllwild Renaissance
Faire had been
affected by the Idyllwild
Chamber of Commerce’s
opposition last Monday or
Renaissance Faire ‘Never been off’
the local contingent speaking
at the Riverside County
Board of Supervisor’s Tuesday
meeting.
“I just talked to the park
people [Monday morning]
and they’re all on board,”
he reported.
Regalado is confident the
Faire would take place at
the Idyllwild County Park
the weekends of July 22 and
23 and July 29 and 30. Paul
Frandsen, general manager
of the Riverside County
Regional Parks and Open
Space District, expressed
similar comments on Friday.
At this point, the recently
created organization,
Idyllwild Production Inc.
(IP), is responsible for the
Faire. In May, the IP was
formed to put on productions.
It is a not-for-profit
organization and is applying
for its 501(c)(3) federal
Internal Revenue Service
status. Regalado is one of

“The only glitch, which
is typical for event planners,
is the Sheriff ’s Department
sent a letter to the parks
saying we could sell alcohol,
but they didn’t send a letter
saying the event was OK,”
Regalado said chuckling.
“We’re taking care of that
today.”
He confirmed a preliminary
fire plan has been
submitted to the Idyllwild
Fire Department. He still
expects them to require
a water tender present
throughout the event and
he said he is prepared for
that.
“Whatever they want,
we’ve got to do,” he said.
Regarding the public
opposition to the Faire,
Regalado confirmed that he
does not expect repercussions
for this season.
“Those actions have affected
our fund-raising,” he
added. “But we’re having
fun. We have carefully been
complying with the county
requirements. If it’s a public
facility, we can use it.”

Locals ask supervisors to protect meadow
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
Several Idyllwild residents
trekked to Riverside to share
their thoughts about the use
of Idyllwild County Park’s
meadow for the nascent
Renaissance Faire with the
County Board of Supervisors.
On Tuesday, June 20, Susan
Nash, Diane Olsen and Trish
Tuley all spoke to the board.
They were accompanied by
other residents, including
Chuck Stroud, a director of
the Idyllwild Environmental
Conservancy (IEC).
While all of them believe
that holding the faire on
this site would damage the
meadow, Nash also argued
that the Regional Parks and
Open Space District, which
manages the park, should
prepare an environmental
study before approving this
use.
Before the board and in
a letter submitted to it, she
stated that this decision was
subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Either an environmental
study should be
prepared or a statement
that no impacts will occur
should be published. Thus
far, neither document has
been prepared, Nash said,
to her dismay.
“We are simply insistent
that the board and
Parks Commission follow
the requirements of CEQA,”
Stroud confirmed. “There is
no litigation. It’s not about
litigation at this point.”
As of June 26, none of
the participants had received
any response or comment
from the board or the parks
agency, according to Olsen.
“I don’t think the County
Park is an appropriate area
for the faire,” Tuley said.
“Too many people say it
could be a biological disaster.
I went to the board
to request they move the
venue to Hurkey Creek or
Buckhorn Camp.”
Since the Idyllwild assemblage
was speaking during
the public comment period
and neither the faire nor the
use of the park were on the
supervisors’ posted agenda,
they could take no action.
“[The board] seemed to
listen attentively, but they
didn’t respond to me,” Tuley
added with disappointment.
Nash stressed she wants a
public hearing on the issue
and the contract between the
parks’ agency and the faire
sponsors to appear before
the Board of Supervisors.
“I’m hoping [the board]
will get back to us,” she said.
“If not, my intention is to
go back next Tuesday [June
27].” On Monday, Nash hesitated
about returning to
confront the board without
new information.
Jeff Smith, another IEC
director, intends to attend
the supervisors’ July 11 meeting.
He said he would discuss
the application of the
uniform fire code and the
public resource code to the
park and redress the CEQA
questions.
Nash underplayed her
contribution to the Idyllwild
presentation during the comment
period. Olsen brought
a dozen letters from community
residents supporting
her view as director of the
Friends of the San Jacinto
Mountain County Parks.
Although each person
stood and offered their observations
to the board,
Supervisor John Tavaglione
started to question Olsen
about who could use the
park and the group’s po-
sition on the general use
criteria.
“Sue Nash was wonderful.
She came to my rescue,” Olsen
exclaimed. “She objected
to his questions.”
Nash returned to the
microphone and prevented
Olsen from engaging with
the board. She explained
that those questions and
dialogue should be part of
a scheduled public hearing
on the matter.
Nevertheless, Olsen was
distressed with the board’s
reaction to the Idyllwild
contingent.
“They definitely were
not very friendly and were
singularly ignorant of the
meadow,” she concluded.
But Bob Buster, board
chairman, recognized the
issue — how to provide public
use of the park without
damaging its resources and
values.
“They want us to look at
the issue and whether the
intensity of use was in the
public good,” he said.
As of Thursday, Paul
Frandsen, park district general
manager, said he had
received no direction or request
from the board for further
information. “It hasn’t
changed anything,” Frandsen
opined.
If Idyllwild Production
Company can meet the Park
District’s criteria, Frandsen
will issue the use permit.
Stroud depicted the issue
similarly to Buster. The opposition
is not toward the
Renaissance Faire, rather the
concern is over the lack of a
specific policy that controls
the scope of events using
this resource.
“It’s about balance,” he
stated. “How do we afford
access in a reasonable way
that protects these assets
which are the attraction”

Continued from page 22
“The main reason there are
so few women in these races
is because they don’t think
they can do it. But once
you’ve done one, nothing
else seems hard.”
Although she races a
lot, Skean doesn’t consider
herself an exceptional athlete.
With every race, she
pushes herself a little more.
“At first, I didn’t like riding
rocky technical,” she said.
She would always get off
her bike and walk, slowing
her overall time. Yet, when
she watched the other guys
maneuver over the rocks and
did the same, soon it didn’t
seem so impossible.
When she retires from
teaching next year, Skean
Sick of “no show” service
Then call
plans to devote more time
to races that are farther
away, such as the World
Championship held last year
in Canada or the Iron Man
Triathlon in Hawaii. In the
past, she would only go to
races held during the summer
and was limited by
distance because she couldn’t
take time off work to race.
Four times a week, Skean
rides her stationary bike at
night, and on weekends, she
rides about 50 miles with
a biking group from Palm
Desert. They ride mostly
the back roads or on trails,
which are more prevalent in
the desert.
“There’s no shoulder to
ride on around Garner Valley
or Idyllwild, and motorists
aren’t used to seeing
people on bikes,” she said.
Sometimes she rides by
herself to Thomas Mountain,
but she’s careful to let
her husband know where
she is and when she’ll return.
She’s not afraid of
the dark, but of mountain
lions, which have attacked
mountain bikes in
Southern California in the
past.
Recently, a couple of
her friends came face-toface
with a mountain lion.
“Nothing happened,” she
said. “They just turned
around and went the other
way.” She’s also heard that it’s
good to make loud noises to
deter mountain lions.
Skean’s rigorous training
ritual began years ago
with a Balance Bar grant.
“In 500 words, I told them
that I wanted to be the first
woman over 60 to finish
the Leadville 100-mile race
in less than 12 hours,” she
said.
Balance Bar gave her
$5,000 and Skean used the
money wisely. She trained
with a personal trainer
whom Lance Armstrong’s
staff recommended. The
trainer was based on the East
Coast, so Skean communicated
with her via Internet
and phone calls. They discussed
everything, including
her training, diet and exercise.
She kept a log book and
added supplements that she
uses today. The supplements
keep her legs from cramping
and fend off hunger during
long races, she said.
Skean didn’t make her
goal as the first woman over
60 to finish the Leadville
100 in less than 12 hours
that year, but reached it in
2005 in 11 hours, 24 minutes.
Since she began riding
competitively only three
years ago, Skean feels that
she hasn’t reached her full
potential yet. “If I had started
racing when I was in my
20s, I’d be ready to retire
now,” she said. “The way it
stands, I’ve got a few good
years left.”
Local band Bad Kitty performs last Saturday at Jo’An’s Restaurant
and Bar in the biergarten. They performed classic rock
cover songs.

Smokey Bear signs warn of fire danger
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
Sunday, the fire danger
on the Hill was very
high. Visitors to the Hill
and residents needed only
to pay attention to the
Smokey Bear signs to know
that. These signs stand
prominently in front of the
district office in Idyllwild
and each guard station
displaying the daily fire
danger within the San
Jacinto Ranger District.
The daily fire danger is
based on the immediate
weather and other local
conditions, such as humidity,
wind speed, recent rain,
plant moisture and others.
Santa Ana winds would affect
the daily fire danger.
In addition, the whole
San Bernardino National
Forest (SBNF) abides by
the fire use restriction
stages. These fire restriction
stages are based on
the season, climate, and
broader and more general
factors throughout the forest,
from Pinyon to Big
Bear. The use restrictions
change more slowly during
the season as the fuels
dry.
There are four stages.
Stage 4 conditions trigger
a forest closure.
Currently, the SBNF
is in Stage 1. This limits
wood and charcoal campfires
to developed sites
such as campgrounds, picnic
areas and yellow post
sites. California campfire
permits are required and
available at any ranger
station. Other restrictions
can be found on the SBNF
Web site or are available at
a ranger station.
“We tried to change the
system for notification, but
it created more confusion,”
said Norm Walker, San
Jacinto Ranger District
fire chief. “The standard
Smokey Bear points to the daily fire danger in the San Jacinto
Ranger District. A Smokey Bear fire announcement is in front
of each ranger and guard station and can be seen easily from
the highway.

Jazz in the Pines,
a learning experience
By J.P. Crumrine
Assistant Editor
The 13th-annual Idyllwild
Jazz in the Pines sounds its
first note in two months, yet
one can image people swaying
with the beat, volunteers setting
up tables, checking tickets or
driving the carts, and musicians
beginning to think about that
cool mountain locale where
they play and experiment with
their “cool jazz.”
The headliners are well
known to jazz aficionados as
well as pop music lovers. On
Saturday, Aug. 25, the Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy returns for the
second year. The best seats for
this performance are near the
center aisle of the Holmes
Amphitheatre.
During the performance
they are bound to swing over
to the audience side of the
bridge and embrace the energy
and vibrations of thousands of
onlookers. The sensation and
reaction amplifies the music as
much as their equipment.
Sunday, Aug. 26, Gerald
Albright graces the festival. A
traditional saxophonist who has
played with a lineup of renown
jazz musicians, his music will be
smooth and amazing.
But public recognition is
not the principal criterion to
be invited to participate in Jazz
in the Pines. Music Director
Marshall Hawkins has always
aimed for a higher level than
simply popularity.
He wants to share the experience
of feeling the jazz
musician’s language of improvisation,
blues and their palette
of emotions emitting from
the panoply of instruments
and voices. If a person passes
through the prestigious portals
prepared to embrace this present,
Hawkins’ polychromatic
program and venues — Holmes
Amphitheatre, the Barn and the
French Quarter Bistro — will
provide a phonic education for
even the most tone-deaf fan.
In his own manner of marrying
jazz and life, Hawkins
offers his usual combination
of something new, something
blue, and something tried and
true. This year, something new
will be Idyllwild Arts alumnus
Graham Dechter returning to
campus only two years after
graduation.
Something blue is the return,
after three years absence, of
Ana-Lia Lenchantin. And the
tried and true features the return
of the pre-eminent pianist,
Harry Pickens.
Each of these musicians has
called Idyllwild home. They
return to the 2006 Jazz in the
Pines to perform in front of
one the best true jazz audiences
The eponymous Graham Dechter, of the Graham Dechter
Trio, will appear both days, Aug. 26 and 27, at the 13th-annual
Idyllwild Jazz in the Pines. Joining Dechter will be Nathan
Ellman-Bell (drums) and Will Snyder (bass).

on the West Coast. They have
been here, been with Hawkins
and know what to expect from
the nearly 5,000 people. In less
than 12 hours of foot-stompin’,
hand clappin’, mind-blowin’ and
once-a-year jazz, the 13th Jazz in
the Pines will bring tears to your
eyes, a smile to your cheeks, and
pleasure to your mind.
Graham Dechter
Dechter graduated from
Idyllwild Arts in June 2004.
Already, he is a professional
jazz guitarist. Coming from a
family of musicians helped, but

he had to practice and work
to convince his teachers and
mentors that he was playing
on his own.
“He’s wonderful,” says Anne
Finch, chairman of this year’s
Jazz in the Pines.
Or “prize winning” is how
Hawkins speaks of Dechter. “He
stepped into a professional role
and is still a college-aged kid,”
he said with amazement.
Dechter’s success compares
to only two other Hawkins’
students — Evan Christopher
and the late Sam Karam.
Dechter and his trio performed
last year, but this year
they are being touted with the
mainline groups.

“It’s really cool,” he said. “It’s
a great honor to be showcased.
I know he is trying to showcase
the alumni, but it’s great to be
up on the billboard.”
Dechter is now the guitarist
in the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz
Orchestra. He’s already performed
at the Playboy Jazz Festival
in the Holiday Bowl and
looks forward to the Monterey
Jazz Festival this summer.
“It’s been great playing with
these guys. What an opportunity
to be immersed in this world!”
he said. “In this case, it’s like a
kid on a ride at Disneyland.”
Dechter attributes his early
success to what he learned
from Hawkins here at Idyllwild
Arts.
“He didn’t teach just to
the academic and classical
music standards, although it is

an academic-oriented school,”
Dechter stressed. “He taught
from the heart and soul and
not from the head. He doesn’t
care about every wrong note.
“Music and jazz are about
what you’re saying. Playing
is telling a story,” is how he
described Hawkins’ pedagogy.
“That’s what people connect
to.”
Hawkins offers many ways to
connect to jazz at the Idyllwild
Jazz in the Pines.
Ana-Lia Lenchantin
Back on stage after a threeyear
absence is Ana-Lia Lenchantin.
Originally from Argentina,
she lives in Idyllwild
now.
A pianist, her last public
performance was the 2003 Jazz
in the Pines. A few weeks later,
her son died and she stopped
performing.
“The only thing that keeps
me going is to go back to the
music for my son,” she said.
“This will be dedicated to him
and all the missing persons in
Parks

Argentina.”
The people started to disappear
in Argentina nearly 30
years ago, Lenchantin said.
Finally a film — “The Captive”
— about this period was produced.
She wrote the music that
she will perform next month.
Even that will have a unique
quality. One of her fingers
is numb and not responding
properly. It affects her piano
playing.
“I have rearranged the composition
for nine fi ngers,” she
admitted.
Lenchantin’s first jazz fest
appearance was seven years ago.
Before that event, she had also
stopped performing.
“Marshall Hawkins and the
jazz fest are very important in
my life and career,” she said.
“He came to me and said, ‘You
have to come and play.’ After
that, I gained a new perspective
and my work went to a higher
level.”
Lenchantin also hinted that
she may bring a surprise with
her to the event. But Hawkins

“She always comes with a
surprise,” he said before Lenchantin’s
hint. “Her name is
important in music.”
Harry Pickens
Pickens is also returning to
another Jazz in the Pines. His
absences are unavoidable and
not scheduling conflicts. Family
illness and his concern to care
for his family kept him away
last year.
But this year, he plays both
days. “Idyllwild is like a second
home for me,” Pickens said.
“The people are like family.”
Pickens is more than a
consummate jazz pianist. He
is an organizational development
consultant and therefore
both an educator and speaker.
Not only has he taught music
throughout his musical career,
but he uses it as a metaphor
for life lessons.
He describes his current
project as “using the power
of music to help individuals,
organizations and communities
get in tune with their greatest
possibilities.”
Next week, he is in residency
with the Kentucky Center
Governor’s School for the Arts.

More than 200 drama, music

Pickens explain how performing
artists can change the world.
“Harry is a mainstay, a pillar,”
Hawkins said respectfully.
“He is one of the most important
treasures and natural
performers of the Jazz in the
Pines. No one other than Yve
Evans commands that respect.
The respect is just there because
he is unbelievable.”
And Pickens says, “I worship
the ground Marshall Hawkins
walks on. There’s a handful of
people who say, ‘Will you do
this’ Before they’re done, you
agree, Marshall is one of them
for me.”
The 13th-annual Idyllwild
Jazz in the Pines will come in
go in two days. The ephemeral
music, no matter how gracious,
will fade. But the teaching and
learning about the music and its
feelings will stay with us forever.
The audience will have lived,
loved and learned jazz.

Brujeria is the first headlining
band to perform
in the Idyllwild Summer
Concert Series on July 6 at
the Mt. San Jacinto State
Park. Brujeria blends tropical
rhythm, including salsa,
meringue samba, calypso
and cha cha.
Headman Stan Watkins
has been performing professionally
for more than 20
years starting with the Air
Force Band of the Golden
West where he was a member
for four years.
Over the course of his
career, he has worked with
such greats as Barry Manilow,
The Temptations, The
On the Town
Latin fusion band coming July 6
Four Tops, Johnny Mathis,
Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and
Rudy Regalado.
Watkins formed the band
that was originally Terremoto
in 1990 with musicians
from all over the Los
Angeles area and the Inland
Empire.
“The name was changed
about a year and a half ago
to Brujeria [pronounced
Bruheria, meaning witchcraft
or sorcery] when we
decided to expand the format
of the band from Cuban-based
Latin jazz and
salsa to also include samba,
Latin funk and boogaloo,”
Watkins said.
(Boogaloo became popular
in the U.S. in the late
’60s among teen-age Cubans
and Puerto Ricans living in
New York City. It is a fusion
of rhythm and blues, soul,
mambo ’n’ rock and roll.)
In 2002, Terremoto performed
at the Summer Concert
Series to an enthusiastic
crowd.
“[We] had a blast watching
the crowd dancing their
conga lines so naturally,”
Watkins said. “Brujeria is
very much looking forward
to performing.”
Watkins cites Tito Puente,
Eddie Palmeri, Antonio Carlos
Jobim, Joe Cuba, Miles
Davis and Weather Report
as the some of the band’s
influences.
Halie Johnson can be
reached at halie@towncrier.

In 2002, Terremoto, with frontman Stan
Watkins, performed at the Summer Concert
Series. On July 6, Watkins returns to

Joke of the Week
Holding her stomach, a little
girl said to her mother, “My
tummy hurts.” The mother
replied, “That’s because it’s
empty. You have to put something
in it.”
That evening, the mother
had her church pastor over
for dinner. After dinner, the
pastor complained of a headache.
The little girl smiled angelically
and said, “That’s
because it’s empty. You have
to put something in it.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
You clever Ewes and Rams love
nothing more than to rise to a
challenge. So, by all means, if you
feel sure about your facts, step
right up and defend your side of
the issue.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) You’ve done some great work
recently. Now it’s time to reward
yourself with something wonderful,
perhaps a day at a spa or a
night out with someone very special.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You love to talk, but don’t forget
to make time to do a little more
listening; otherwise, you could
miss out on an important message
someone might be trying to
send to you.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Your aspect indicates some uncertainty
about one of your goals. Use
this period of shifting attitudes to
reassess what you really want and
what you’re ready to do to get it.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Your social life is picking up, and
you’ll soon be mingling with old
friends and making new ones. But
‘twixt the fun times, stay on top of
changing workplace conditions.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) A trusted friend offers
understanding as you vent some
long-pent-up feelings. Now, move
on from there and start making
the changes you’ve put off all this
time.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) You might well feel
uneasy as you face a difficult situation
involving someone close to
you. But you know you’re doing
the right thing, so stick with your
decision.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November
21) You’re a good friend
to others. Now’s the time to allow
them to be good friends to you.
Rely on their trusted advice to
help you get through an uncertain
period.
SAGITTARIUS (November
22 to December 21) Family and
friends are always important, but
especially so at this time. Despite
your hectic workplace schedule,
make a real effort to include them
in your life.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) That project you’ve
been working on is almost ready
for presentation. But you still
need some information from a
colleague before you can consider
it done.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Don’t let those negative
attitudes that have sprung up
around you drain your energies.
Shrug them off, and move ahead
with the confidence that you can
get the job done.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Aspects favor some
dedicated fun time for the hardworking
Piscean. A nice, refreshing
plunge into the social swim
can recharge your physical and
emotional batteries.
BORN THIS WEEK: You love
to travel and be with people. You
probably would be happy as a social
director on a cruise ship.

RE: Notice of Public Sale
Misc. Household Items and Furniture,
Continued on next page

Page 42 - Idyllwild Town Crier, June 29, 2006
Dale
Continued from page 1
would volunteer for everything.”
“Dale was such an example
of diplomacy and graciousness,”
said Chris Singer. “I
joined Idyllwild Community
Recreation Council (ICRC)
because Dale was at the very
first skatepark meeting [to
build a skatepark for Idyllwild
kids] and I said to myself . .
. if Dale Spickler is involved,
I want to be involved. Whenever
I had difficulty in knowing
how to deal with certain
people, Dale would always
give me wise advice. He was
the gentlest of souls.”
Then there are the ROME-
OS (Really Old Men Eating
Out), an Idyllwild tradition
and men’s breakfast club (no
one younger than 55 permitted)
of which Dale was a
member. The club has rules,
established by founder Rayburn
Hazlick, 99, with which
Dale had no trouble: no bad
language or off-color stories
that would upset any lady
within earshot (although, of
course, ladies were generally
Legals
not permitted at the table,
and would have had to rely on
earshot). As member Gerald
Holsclaw remembers, “Dale
was a gentleman. He never
let any subject over which
we might disagree stand in
the way of our friendship.”
Member and fellow ROMEO
Bob Parish chimed in, “Dale
always spoke well of another,
reminding us that ‘if you
don’t know something good
to say about someone, don’t
say anything.’”
Parish, who is the Fourth
of July Parade chair for Rotary,
wants readers and parade
attendees to know that this
year’s parade is dedicated to
Dale, a 50-year Rotary member.
Parish reports that “there
will be a car, empty but for
the driver, with flowers and a
sign indicating that the parade
honors Dale’s memory.”
Parish relates that Dale
was an active, proud Rotarian
and played a seminal role
in the admission of women
to Rotary as full members
— a case in which the Duarte
chapter, of which Dale
was then president, had its
charter revoked by Rotary
International because of its
admission of three women
in 1977 (Rotary International
at that time did not allow
women members).
The Duarte chapter appealed.
The case wound its
way to the Supreme Court
where on May 4, 1987, the
Court affirmed a lower court
ruling in favor of the Duarte
chapter, which in the interim
10 years had been meeting
as the “X Rotary Club
of Duarte.” Ever after, and
thanks in large part to Dale,
the chapter’s banner reads
“Rotary Club of Duarte - ‘the
mouse that roared’ - EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY FOR SER-
VICE.”
Most townsfolk interviewed
for this article remember
that, more than anything,
Dale was about service to
others. Pete Capparelli, with
whom Dale served on CSA
36 and other boards, said that
“Dale always made a point of
shaking everyone’s hands at
meetings, making them feel
welcome.” When something
was needed, “he stepped up to
the plate and always jumped
in and helped.”
Parish relates another story
about Dale attending a Knights
of Columbus (KOC) meeting
with incoming Idyllwild Rotary
President Bill Gallagher
who knew Dale from Duarte.
Gallagher confirmed that Dale
enjoyed the meetings hugely
and wanted to join. “There’s
just one problem,” Gallagher
told him. “You’re not Catholic
[a prerequisite for KOC membership].”
Gallagher laughed,
“About the only thing he
didn’t join.”
Dale had a business card
with his picture as Santa. Parish
remembers that often, if
Dale was sitting on the bench
in front of the Post Office,
Claus-garbed or not, young
children would line up in
front of him, waiting to talk,
and, of course, Dale was fully
present, patient, every bit the
spirit they believed him to
be.
MaryAnn, who will leave
Idyllwild for Oregon after the
Fourth of July Parade, recalled
her husband’s many careers.
He was proud of his Air Force
service, in which after World
War II he was stationed in
West Germany, and pre-Gary
Powers, Dale flew low over
the then-Soviet Union taking
spy photos, also serving
as a Russian linguist during
that time. He subsequently
studied at UCLA where, after
obtaining a master’s degree,
he served as dean of students.
He owned restaurants in
the San Gabriel Valley. But
probably the career of which
both the Spicklers were most
proud was his calling as the
sweet, lovable man in the red
suit trimmed with white, a
role he volunteered to play
at countless hospitals, burn
centers, playgrounds, parking
lots, parades, festivals, schools,
service clubs, “Breakfasts with
Santa,” and ultimately, life as
Santa.
MaryAnn would like the
community to know that the
June 14 dedication to Dale
— exactly a week before his
death — of a sculpture bird
bath and feeder by Idyllwild
artist and friend Jan Jaspers-Fayer
is the only public
memorial service that will
be given. The sculpture at
the Idyllwild Nature Center
honors Dale’s work with and
dedication to the Friends of
the San Jacinto Mountain
County Parks. “We’re just
thankful that Dale lasted long
enough [to attend the dedication],”
she said.
MaryAnn urges friends
wishing to acknowledge Dale’s
many gifts to this community
to donate to an Idyllwild Rotary
Club scholarship in Dale’s
name that will fund college
education for Hill students.
Contributions may be sent
to Bill Gallagher, Rotary Club
of Idyllwild, P.O. Box 152,
Idyllwild, CA 92549.
MaryAnn also urges the
community to continue to
support Dale’s dedication to
and efforts on behalf of the
Friends of the San Jacinto
Mountain County Parks by
sending donations to the
Friends, care of P.O. Box
1522.
Nature Center Naturalist
Shelly Kibby, who just returned
from New Hampshire
to the news of Dale’s passing,
was devastated at learning of
his death. “He always called
me ‘youngster.’ He was such a
supporter of mine and of our
work. I’m just so thrilled that
we could honor him while he
was still with us. He seemed
so surprised and honestly
humble that we would create
this luncheon and memorial
for him,” she said.
In addition to his wife
MaryAnn, Dale leaves behind
his son Sandy and wife Veronica
in Oregon, daughter Sheryl
Montour and son-in-law
Steve in Mission Viejo, and
the community of Idyllwild.

Creature corner
By Jane Stonehill
Jones, the German shepherd-mix who recently
underwent surgery for an injured leg, is
now available for adoption. This great, friendly
dog loves everyone and would make a good
companion. He would like a dog companion to
play with, too. A large fenced yard is required. Several beautiful,
adorable kittens are available at ARF. See them weekends
at ARF adoption days on Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4
p.m. Bella, a huge, very laid-back gray cat, is available, too.
Sporting her new lion-cut hairdo, Bella loves everyone and
would like her own home soon. Bella’s friend Carmen is a big
tiger-striped cat with lots of personality. She could happily go
to a home with Bella, but can be adopted separately. Phanny
the cat, a gorgeous black and white tuxedo girl, would prefer an
appointment at her foster home to interview prospective new
owners. She’s worth the extra effort. Maggie, a darling Australian
shepherd-mix, is sweet-natured and cheerful. She would fit into
many situations. She would like a dog companion, too. Vohn is
a gorgeous, purebred white shepherd who is a companion dog
in every sense. He wants to be with someone who will take him
everywhere. Very well trained and loyal, Vohn is an unusual dog
and is looking for just the right person. Call ARF for details.
Nano is a beautiful gray and white short-haired neutered cat
who is declawed and currently living with other cats who do
not like him. He needs a quiet home where he can be a lap
cat. Zack and Purrcy are gorgeous Russian blue-mix cats.
See them and the other animals listed here at ARF’s weekend
adoption days. Two Idyllwild cats came into ARF’s care this
week after being taken from dangerous situations on the street.
Rescued separately, these two need to find their owners. One
is an orange cat and the other a tabby. Call ARF to identify
these great cats who have obviously been loved pets.
Dr. Robert Rizon and his staff will hold their monthly
vaccine clinic at ARF headquarters on Thursday, July 6. Call
ARF for an appointment, (915) 659-1122. Several ARF critters
have either been adopted or are in a trial week in a new home.
Among these are the puppies, Evie and Shy, Ramon the rat,
who went to a rat rescue in San Diego, and two kittens.
ARF dogs, both those previously adopted and those now
for adoption, will be walking in the Fourth of July parade. Call
ARF if you and your dog would like to participate.
Look for ARF events in the future, including a motorcycle
poker run on July 29, and the ARF Pet Fair to be held in
conjuction with the Pancake Breakfast on Labor Day weekend
to raise funds for the new dog park. For more information
and to volunteer, call ARF, 659-1122.
Special thanks this week to Jack, Gretchen and Celia for
donating and installing new flooring at ARF headquarters.
ARF, the Idyllwild Animal Rescue Friends, is an all-volunteer,
nonprofit organization serving the mountain communities.
ARF is located in Oakwood Village on North Circle Drive. Call
ARF volunteers at (951) 659-1122, or write to P.O. Box 1965,
Idyllwild, CA 92549.
Creature corner is sponsored this week by Leo and Wilma
Jahn in memory of our beloved Ruby. To sponsor the column,
