Chief Mike Mohler of the Southern Region Communications for Cal Fire’s South Ops. Chuck Washington, 3rd District supervisor and chair of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, confirmed that Hawkins had been asked to serve elsewhere in the Cal Fire system. “An interim has been named and I have asked for an item to be placed our or closed session agenda for next Tuesday as a personnel matter,” he said in an email. Friday night, 1st District Supervisor Kevin Jeffries posted this com-

ment on his Facebook page: “While I can’t speak officially for the entire Riverside County Board of Supervisors, I think I can safely say that we would like to thank Fire Chief John Hawkins for his incredible service to Riverside County and numerous cities. He has led our county (and many parts of the state) through terrible wildland fires, floods, tough budgets and severe growing pains. I wish him well with his new position in Cal-Fire.” For more than 10 years, Hawkins had been the county fire chief. His tenure began August 2006.

County supports improving emergency notification capability

PAGE B3

By JP Crumrine News Editor

Member-supported

The Mountain Area Safety Taskforce has created a committee to investigate what actions might be necessary to improve, strengthen and expand the ability to broadcast emergency messages on the Hill. Last month, several county and local officials met at the Idyllwild Fire Station to explore what options might be best to achieve these goals. Concern for this issue has been raised in the past. In May 2015, the Mile High Radio Club prepared an assessment of the facilities and capabilities shortly after it assumed responsibility for operating WNKI. The report began, “WNKI … is in immediate need for major upgrading for the benefit of the area’s residents … WNKI signal coverage falls short of covering this entire region.” The first step after last month’s meeting was to put the efforts of MAST, which is composed of representatives from public safety agencies at all levels of government — local, county, state and federal — toward investigating and finding an appropriate solution.

HUSD considering bond measure for fall ballot Includes some work at Idyllwild School

By JP Crumrine News Editor The Hemet Unified School District is investigating the feasibility of initiating a new bond measure this year. The measure would authorize the district to borrow between $100 million and $150 million for capital improvements throughout the district, including Idyllwild School. “Right now we are in the feasibility study stage. The only thing we’ve done is to hire a consultant to ‘test the waters,’ as it were, to see if a bond issue in November has a chance of passing,” said Vic Scavarda, the Idyllwild trustee. At the Jan. 9 study session, the board heard from Vince Christakos, assistant superintendent for Business Services, about the needed capital improvement looming on the horizon. Some of the issues facing the capital

facilities staff include the possibility of all-day kindergarten in the future, which was on the board’s agenda during its Jan. 23 meeting, repair and renovation of existing buildings, and potential growth. During the regular meeting, the board approved contracts with CliffordMoss, a consulting firm, and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, to be legal counsel on the bond matters. CliffordMoss had FM3 Research conduct a poll of 681 HUSD voters from Jan. 6 to Jan. 10, regarding their views on the district, and the need and merits for a bond measure. These results were presented to the board at its Jan. 23 meeting. These voters were almost evenly divided on the direction of their schools. Thirty-seven percent believe schools are headed in the wrong direction, but 36 percent think schools are going in the right direction. The remaining 28 percent were not sure of either. However, a significant majority (greater than 70 percent) felt repairing See HUSD, page A3

Pinyon’s county service area may be dissolved Board of Supervisors no longer sees need By JP Crumrine News Editor

On Thursday, Jan. 25, County Service Area 60, which is in Pinyon, may be dissolved after 49 years. In August, the Riverside County Board of Supervisor passed a resolution requesting the county’s Local Area Formation Committee review the need for CSA 60’s continuation. The board’s resolution stated, “The purpose of [CSA 60] has been accomplished and there is no need to continue the service of operation and maintaining the Pinyon Flats Fire Station as that responsibility is now performed as a core service of the County of Riverside through Riverside County Fire/Cal Fire.” CSA 60 was formed in December 1968 to construct, operate and maintain a fire station in the Pinyon Pines area. Station 30, on Highway 74, is the result of that effort. Over time, CSA 60’s purpose evolved to support the volunteer firefighters assigned to Station 30. In 2002, residents approved a special $25 annual assessment to fund supplies or equipment for the Pinyon volunteer firefighters. However, in 2010, when the county shifted from reliance on volunteers to using trained reserves, the need for CSA 60’s funds was questioned.

Both the county’s Economic Development Agency and Board of Supervisors believe the need for CSA 60 has ended. Riverside County Fire Department provides fire support and protection to the Pinyon community and has responsibility for maintaining Station 30. The collection of the $25 special assessment ended in 2013. At the time, it was generating about $59,500 annually. Since CSA 60 was established before Proposition 13 was passed, it still receives some property-tax revenue, too. Prior to the 2002 vote for the special assessment, this was the sole income source for CSA 60. However, the last expenditure in support of volunteers occurred in 2013, according to the LAFCO report. As of November, the CSA 60 cash balance was $340,261. According to Michael Franklin, principal development specialist for EDA’s Community and Cultural Services Division, the remaining funds will be used for the benefit of the community. The LAFCO report states that after the proposed dissolution is official, state law (Government Code section 57454) will prohibit a direct distribution of cash assets to residents. So, the county intends to apply the remaining money to the community’s needs, as yet to be determined. Physical assets of CSA 60, which include a water tender, light rescue truck, jaws of life, and thermal imaging camera, will go to the county. CSA 60 comprises about 9,200 acres, which is divided into 2,378 parcels. JP Crumrine can be reached at [email protected].

‘The Guide for Charities’

California Attorney General Xavera Becerra has released “The Guide for Charities” to give charities the tools they need to comply with laws. The guide seeks to promote best practices to help directors and officers of charities better understand their responsibilities. The guide is available at www.oag.ca.gov/system/ files/attachments/press_releases/guide_for_charities. pdf.

Riverside County Supervisory District 3, was appointed the chair of the MAST committee and has begun to shape its composition and role. “… I need to accomplish a few tasks designed to ensure that this subcommittee has a clear goal so that I can avoid ‘mission creep,’” he said. “The process of extending traveler advisory or emergency messaging across the mountain top has been ongoing for quite awhile without success. It is my intent to succeed and bring this to a conclusion in the shortest time frame possible.” MAST incident commanders all agreed that more should be done to improve this capability. The first step will involve WNKI, the emergency broadcast station approved for the Hill. But in today’s world, AM radio broadcasts are only part of the long-term solution. One of the attendees of the December meeting was Jeff Van Wagenen, the assistant county executive for

Public Safety. He made it clear that the County Executive’s Office is aware of this problem and wants to solve it. “It was good to have the discussion. We want to strengthen the [emergency] communication on the Hill and that could include the radio station, partnership with HAM operators, or others. We want the necessary information to get to whom it needs to serve.” Currently, the license for WNKI, an AM broadcast station, belongs to the Idyllwild Fire Protection District. The district has a contract with MHRC allowing it to operate the station. MHRC has a plan for improving WNKI’s capability, according to Bill Tell, current MHRC president. MHRC has been working on implementing the plan for several years, ever since it assumed operational responsibility for WNKI. The club’s goal and county officials concur with this — to have the capability to send notices or warnings See WNKI, page A7

Schelly remains IWD president By JP Crumrine News Editor Dr. Charles “Chip” Schelly and Peter Szabadi were unaminously re-elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Idyllwild Water District’s Board of Directors at the Jan. 17 board meeting. The vote was 4-0 with Director Geoffrey Caine absent. In other business, the board approved a recommendation from Interim General Manager Jack Hoagland to engage a contractor to prepare a baseline survey of the pipeline along South Circle Drive from Bicknell Lane to Village Center Drive, and then from Village Center to North Circle Dr. He estimated the cost of the work to be about $18,300. The pipe along these streets is from the 1950s, Hoagland said, and its replacement has been discussed as a priority project for several months. This was accelerated in January, when the Riverside County Department of Transportation notified IWD that it was planning to resurface several streets in the downtown area, including much of this project’s path. Rather than replace the pipeline after the county resurfacing project and causing the road to be dug up again, Hoagland recommended starting the preparation work in order to be able to replace the pipeline in the fall of 2018. “This line is not in particularly good shape,” Hoagland said. “It behooves our customers to do it before they repave.” The vote was 3-1, with Director Steve Kunkle opposing the project. He preferred for the board to develop a more comprehensive capital-improvement plan rather than reacting piece meal. “The board has not had a chance to get educated [about the capital-improvements program],” Kunkle said. “We’re jumping the gun. There might be other things to do related to the water study.” Later in the meeting, during the discussion of a capital-improvements strategy, Kunkle favored more investment in water-supply projects. “One of my priorities is, we’re a water district and need to be on top of water resources with accurate estimates and ready to use,” he said. “A lot of the water [facilities] haven’t been fixed for years.” He expressed his interest in ensuring the district’s wells were operational and available to supply water when needed. In response, Hoagland cautioned the board about spending money on projects, such as refurbishing wells and then not using them. The money might be invested in more critical and timely projects, he advised. Szabadi wanted to be sure the water supplies were sufficient if the lack of rain continued. The district might need added well resources. Hoagland replied, “Right now we have plenty of water.” However, in response to whether the continuing dry weather might invoke a need for a Stage 2 Water Emergency, he replied, “On Stage 2, I have no ability to predict the future.” In his Operations Report, Hoagland observed that the level of Foster Lake was 5.25 feet compared to its maximum of 18 feet. Also, the groundwater level of most wells remained unchanged from November except for the Foster Lake wells, where the level dropped about 4.5 feet. During December, IWD produced 6.8 million gallons of water, which was nearly a million gallons more than in December 2016. For the year, the district’s water production totaled 91.2 million gallons, which was 12.8 percent greater than 2016. It also was the greatest production since 2013. The district’s stored water is about 90 percent of capacity, according to Hoagland’s report. JP Crumrine can be reached at [email protected].

HUSD Continued from A1 and maintaining schools helps local property values. And 60 percent believe school classrooms are aging and in need of repair. Yet when asked about support for a $150 million bond on the November 2018 ballot, only 55 percent supported its passage. A tenth of those were “undecided, but lean yes.” The poll also found that support fell below 50 percent if the prospective bond measure was on the June 2018 ballot. Also, support was actually 2 percent less if the prospective bond measure was only $98 million. Interviewees were very

supportive of a statement referencing the need to repair old schools and upgrading schools to prepare the students for today’s world. The consultants told the board that a $150 million bond is viable but the focus should be on the November ballot rather than June. CliffordMoss also discussed its plan to help the district convince voters of the need for this work. HUSD’s total capital facilities’ needs approach $190 million, according to Christakos’s presentation earlier this month. This includes $8.6 million identified for Idyllwild School. The largest portion, $5.8 million, is for building improvements and re-

pairs. “There are several items listed on the master plan for Idyllwild,” said HUSD Director of Facilities Hans Twardowski in an email. “Included in the list are lighting upgrades to the interior, ADA compliance retrofits, security camera installation, propane tank replacement, window replacement in the original office building, office area modifications, casework replacement, interior paint, theatrical lighting and controls for the gymnasium, rain gutter installation, and portable replacement.” He also emphasized that almost $1.8 was for contingencies and implementation costs, such as

“architect fees, Department of State Architect plan review fees, inspection fees and testing.” Christakos stated in an email that passage of a bond measure would not result in the full amount being available immediately. “If a bond measure is put on the ballot in 2018 the district would not be able to sell the entire $150 million right away,” he wrote. “ … This means the project list would need to be prioritized to put the greatest needs first. Bonds would probably be sold in smaller increments over a ten-year period.” JP Crumrine can be reached at jp@towncrier. com.

OPINION

Page A4 - Idyllwild Town Crier, Jan. 25, 2018 Help with past

OUTLOUD Other than the occasional wandering bear, lakestocked fish and migrated bald eagle, our wildlife population primarily derives from their own local ancestry — generations and generations preceeding from time before maybe even the American Indians settled here. That’s not the case with the human population. Even most of the Native Americans, other than on nearby reservations, dispersed or multiplied through non-Native cultures. Many of you who’ve lived here a few years, like me, are noticing a turnover in the past few years of our local human population. For many, many years the Chamber of Commerce strove to bring awareness to tourists of Idyllwild’s uniqueness. But in the past few years — without a Chamber, I might note — we’ve been “found.” Everywhere I go, I’m introduced to new residents, whether part- or full-time. Houses on the market now sell quickly and for premium prices. I especially notice this now that I handle the Memberships that include subscriptions. I receive regular calls from people who have sold their cabins and want to cancel the paper. I receive calls/letters from people from all over who recently bought second homes and need a Membership. New people enamored with this idealic village settle in to retire, raise their kids, get involved volunteering, share their talents, etc. For the most part and despite their varied traits and character, they rarely upset the general culture of the community — that of an industrious, charming community that enjoys its art, musicians, wine, craft beer and great restaurants, and who appreciates its salt-of-the-earth hard-working service industry and helpful neighbors. Idyllwild and environs’ human population provide a palm-of-your-hand warmth and caring when you face challenge — whether surgery, illness, death or hardship. Nowhere but here, some say, would you be able to meet a major life challenge head-on because of the people. Volunteering is mostly a pleasure in this community not only because of the satisfaction of helping, but because you get to meet many of these new residents. Back when I was publisher/editor all those years working for a different newspaper owner and Jack worked off the Hill, my associations with people were through work, volunteering (Chamber, Idyllwild Community Fund, PTA), my children’s teachers/friends’ parents, or a knitting group. Now, my children are grown. And because of Jack’s and my work constraints in not just running but owning a business, joining local volunteer organizations puts an added strain. I need to pay attention to my health now more. My volunteering primarily is through the state newspaper community four or five times a year. So it is with pleasure that since we bought the paper, we’ve come to know more and more of these “newer” (newer than us) residents through weekly/monthly get-togethers. We treasure these times with people who, like us, truly love living in this paradise (except for the occasional brouhaha) — far from the madding crowd but not too far that we can’t be a little mad ourselves.

Editor: Does anyone know the name of the old bar located in Idyllwild that used to have live country western music and used to host such famous artists as Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. I believe the owner was Sheri (don’t know if I have the right spelling) and her bouncers were all women. The last time I saw her in 1992, the place was a Mexican restaurant.

why the lawyer fees went up 500 percent in the last year. Michael Freitas Idyllwild Editor’s clarification: First, IWD’s legal fees for 2017 were $117,935. In 2016 they were $31,000. So they “went up” 280 percent from 2016 to 2017, not 500 percent. Second, the great bulk of 2017 legal fees went to the team handling the water rights issue, which the previous board had not resolved. Third, in 2014, when Freitas was also on the board, IWD’s legal fees were $124,000.

Proud of Idyllwild for marching Editor: We were never prouder to be Hill residents than yesterday, Jan 20. The turnout for the Women’s March was beyond our expectations. The participants were uniformly kind, funny and thoughtful. The signs and posters carried by the marchers were insightful and often hilarious. Being with such a crowd bolsters our hope that 2018 will be a better year.

Board of Supervisors’ appointment to the seat. Following the nomination period in May, FVWD had three candidates for three seats; therefore, holding an election was not necessary. In the summer, the county supervisors approved the appointment of the three nominees — directors Krieger and Rees, and Wise, a new candidate. However, Wise formally declined the position in October. The board could not begin the recruitment

and appointment process until terms officially began on Dec. 1. Rowell will serve until December 2019. In August 2019, he will have to stand for election for the final two years of the term, which ends in December 2021.

WNKI Continued from A2 from Poppet Flats in the north, to Pinyon and Anza to the south. These are essentially the same communities included in the Community Wildfire Protection Plan, Tell noted. Because of the mountainous terrain, some areas within Idyllwild and Fern Valley also have difficultly receiving the signal, he added. The club has gotten donations and has installed some equipment, but is not close to completing all the steps in the plan, Tell said. “We’re very close to digital transmission, which will enable us to do more.” Some at the MAST meeting suggested the committee explore options that include Twitter or Facebook. They thought many younger people rely less on their car radio than on their cell-phone applications. Tell agreed about the value of expanding the means to notify or warn people about emergencies or incidents on the Hill. However, he pointed out that the value of the Internet is substantial-

ly diminished when electric power goes out, as it did in early December for 28 hours. This also affects cell phones that have to be charged for use. However, MHRC’s initial report stated, “The existing FCC station license power and antenna height restrictions limit upgrades …” The club recommends creating a ribbon network between Poppet Flats and Anza. This would involve using multiple transmitters positioned in a string. This also would allow the simulcast of a live-stream broadcast over the Internet, according to Tell. Various state and federal fire stations along highways 74, 243 and 371 could serve as locations for the equipment, he suggested. At that time, the cost to build the ribbon network was $86,500. HAM radio operators can still function in this environment, he argued, but agreed that few people have HAM radio reception. Tell was excited and grateful for the expanded involvement of the county and other officials. JP Crumrine can be reached at jp@towncrier. com.

FVWD Continued from page A6 18, revenues were $517,000, which was about $40,000 less than expenses. Reserves are more than sufficient to cover the temporary deficit. FVWD still anticipates more than $550,000 in added revenue. About one-third of the proposed capital budget has been spent, mostly on new meters for the replacement program. In the second half of the fiscal year, FVWD plans to invest almost $175,000 in new hydrants. This includes one new hydrant installation and replacement of another 38, according to General Manager Victor Jimenez Although water production increased 9.3 percent during the November and December billing cycle compared to the same period in 2016, revenue grew faster because the new service charge was effective on Jan. 1, 2018. This hiked revenue by $35,000. The new water rates will be effective in the January and February billing cycle. For the year, FVWD water production was 35.7 million gallons, which was 3.2 million greater than during 2016. It also was the greatest production level since 2013. The unaccounted-for water during this billing period was nearly 30 percent. But Jimenez stated, “The more and more I look at the methodology of how we calculate this, the result is not accurate,” he assured the board.

Johnston’s work release converted to straight time By JP Crumrine News Editor In October, John W. Johnston, 31, of Idyllwild, pleaded guilty to unlawful intercourse with a minor more than three years younger than himself. Earlier this month, his sentence of 112 days in a work-release program was revoked. On Jan.10, Riverside County requested that the work-release time be converted to straight jail time. Judge Kelly Hansen

agreed with the change in sentence. As of the date of the court hearing, Hansen gave Johnston credit for 40 days of the 120 served. He owed 80 more days and was remanded to the custody of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Johnston was arrested for statutory rape on Sept. 25, 2017. He pleaded guilty a week later.

One injury crash on Hill roads last week At 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 19, Werner Thatje, 74, of Hemet, was driving eastbound on Highway 74, three-quarters of a mile east of Keen Camp Road in Mountain Center when, in executing a left-hand turn, he allowed his vehicle to drift to the right, according to a California Highway Patrol report. In doing so, his vehicle hit the dirt embankment and overturned. No one else was involved in the incident. Thatje was transported by American Medical Response to Riverside University Health System Medical Center in Moreno Valley with non-life threatening injuries.

Cooper pleads guilty; serving work release By JP Crumrine News Editor

Neil Cooper, 42, of Idyllwild, pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges for issuing criminal threats and willful resistance. Judge John Monterosso sentenced Cooper to 360 days in the custody of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Cooper was given credit for serving 180 days. The remainder is to be served in a work-release program to which he must report by February 2018. Cooper was arrested and charged on Jan. 6, 2017. The arrest was for making criminal threats. He was subsequently charged with burglary and criminal threats, both felonies, and enhancements, including use of a weapon and an attempt to dissuade a witness from testifying.

Judge still considering Aklufi’s motion to dismiss embezzlement case

“There is no way to tell how much water is flowing into the tanks without a meter,” he stated. “Also, we are finding more meters are failing. There’s more failure on the domestic meters; I don’t know when some stopped reading.” As the new meters are installed, Jimenez noted that the consumption for some parcels is higher now. “Unaccounted-for water has always been a battle,” Rees said. “It was for Steve [Erler, former general manager].” Speaking to the district’s water supply, Jimenez stated, “Things are going smoothly. We’re using less well water this year than last year when we had to shut the filtration plant down because of the stream flows.” Several of the district’s wells have recovered with less use, he noted. “I’m not concerned about usage at this point,” he added in an email. “I could see us going back to Stage II or Stage III if we were to continue to get dry years.” The district did receive a letter protesting the new service charges. Tom Bousman felt the service charge increase is “unfair to the owner who stays at his cabin four or five times per year. This increase is an obvious attempt to increase this burden onto us and reduce it for the homeowner who lives in Fern Valley year round.” He recommended reducing the base rate and increasing the usage rates. The board accepted his letter and will respond, but it arrived after the Dec. 29 public hearing where the new rates were approved.

By JP Crumrine News Editor Arrested in May 2016 on charges of public corruption and embezzlement from the city of Beaumont, former Idyllwild Water and Idyllwild Fire Protection districts counsel Joe Aklufi of Riverside filed a motion earlier this month to dismiss his charges and case for the lack of speedy trial. Last week, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin opposed the motion and submitted a response with his arguments. On Wednesday, Jan. 17, Judge Marc Fisher read the filings from Aklufi and the District Attorney’s office, heard oral comments and decided he needed further arguments and more time. He asked the DA’s office to submit another brief by Jan. 22. He gave Aklufi’s attorney another two days, until Jan. 24, to file a new brief. Fisher said he intended to make a ruling by Friday, Jan. 26. Aklufi remains out of jail on bond. He is the last of seven defendants in this case. The other six have all pleaded guilty and paid fines from thousands of dollars to millions. In the initial filing, Hestrin said the embezzlement occurred in the 1990s and nearly $43 million was taken from the city. JP Crumrine can be reached at [email protected].

By Marshall Smith Staff Reporter Photographer and multi-media artist Deborah Anderson has lived and worked in Paris, and been exhibited in Paris, Los Angeles and New York. She has a client list that includes Sir Elton John, George Clooney and Cindy Crawford. Her work has been featured in prestigious publications, including Architectural Digest, GQ Magazine, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar and the Sunday Times, United Kingdom. She is the art director for the Gansevoort Hotel Group and its flagship Manhattan hotel. While living in Paris, Anderson had her own boutique vintage fashion line with major retail clients in New York including Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan. She is a published author and documentary filmmaker. Formerly based in Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles, she, like many, sought to escape the LA hubbub. Topanga had gentrified, changed and priced out many of the artists who had long given Topanga its distinctive character. She was looking for a place that had the “old Topanga” vibe, with an existing resident artist base, complemented by a beautiful natural setting. A friend recommended Idyllwild. “I came here in July [2017] to decompress,” Anderson recalled. “This is what Topanga used to be like. I felt that Idyllwild was this hidden secret. I moved here in August and was very humbled by the ener-

gy here. ‘What am I doing here,’? I asked myself.” But a chance encounter answered that question. Even having exhibited internationally, Anderson said she had never had the desire to open a gallery. “But I saw this space in The Fort,” she said. “I looked through the window and felt I had the boat floating in the right direction. I opened with a show of my photographs from my book ‘Paperthin’ (Verlhac Editions 2009) on Dec. 9. “With my Idyllwild gallery, I hope to be able to help bring people here and provide affordable art. I’ll continue to work with my other

[off-Hill] concerns, including a documentary feature film about Native American women being raped, abused and trafficked for sex.” Anderson said she’d exhibit stills taken during filming at her Idyllwild gallery once the film is finished. Prior to the exhibit in her own gallery, stills will be exhibited at the Leica Photographic Gallery in Beverly Hills in May of this year. Anderson is the daughter of Jon Anderson, British/American singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known as the former lead singer of the progressive rock band Yes. Anderson had her own singing career, with a 1995 release of “Feel the Sunshine” by Alex Reece on which she was featured. The drum and bass single made number 2 in the European charts and was in the top 20 in U.K. charts. Anderson released her debut solo single “Lonely Without You” in 1997. Her debut solo album “Silence” was released in 2009 as an accompaniment to her book “Paperthin.” Anderson’s first feature documentary film project, “Aroused,” also was a fine-art book. The film featured 16 world-renowned female adult film stars, was released in theaters and is currently featured on Showtime in the U.S. With everything she’s done and everywhere she’s lived, Anderson is very happy to be in Idyllwild. “I’m very much aware of the magic that is here,” she said.

That cooperation you request could come at too high a price. Since few can beat the Bovine at being clever and resourceful, why not see what you can do on your own?

May 21 – June 21

Aspects favor a quieter time spent getting closer to the people who are especially important to you. There’s always much more to learn and appreciate about each other.

You might feel bolder as each new success falls into place. But caution is still advised through the end of the week. Until then, a step-by-step approach is best.

What the Big Cat might see as a disturbing act of disloyalty might just be a failure of communication on both sides. Take time for mediation rather than confrontation.

January 2018 — Week 4

It should be easier to assess the facts you’ll need to make an important decision. But don’t commit if you still have doubts. There could be more you need to know.

October 23 – November 21

Your excitement level remains high as you continue working on that new project. Expect some setbacks. But on the whole, all will move pretty much on schedule.

November 22 – December 21

It might be wise to be more prudent with expenses right now. But your financial situation should soon clear up, and you could be back shopping, happily as ever.

December 22 – January 19

You might prefer sticking with your current schedule. But some newly emerging information could persuade you to consider a change. Keep an open mind.

January 20 – February 18

You might want to reject a suggested change. But it could be wise to go with the flow, at least for a while. You can always return to your first plan if you like.

February 19 – March 20

You’re bolstered by both the practical and poetic sides of your nature as you maneuver through some unsettled emotional situations. Things ease up by week’s end. FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

ATTENTION CONTRACTORS California Business and Professions Code 7071.13 reads: “Any reference by a contractor in his advertising, soliciting, or other presentments to the public to any bond required to be filed pursuant to this chapter is a ground for the suspension of the license of such contractor.” This is a contractor’s responsibility, not a newspaper’s, and we are not responsible for it. However, as a courtesy, we will remove references to a bond in contractors’ advertising, if we notice it.

Well, I thought nobody would get last week’s photo, which was of a large, wooden, circled K built in the vent on the west side of American Legion Post 800. The Legion obtained the building from the Kiwanis years ago. But our Dynamic Duo found it. So, only two names in the hat: Dave Hunt and Kris Kirschbaum. Mandy Johnson stirred them around really well, and ... the lady wins again! Please come in to the Town Crier office, Kris, to pick up your winnings: A $15 gift certificate for the new Village Market, which is generously sponsoring this weekly contest and has supplied us with certificates. If, for whatever reason, you haven’t checked out the Village Market in recent months, please do because it really is new. OK, have a look at this week’s photo above. One entry per household. Contest deadline: Monday noon. Not a race — correct entries go into a hat for a drawing. Full contest rules and guidelines available at the Town Crier office.

Brendan Steele scored a fine come-from-behind top-20 finish at the CareerBuilders Challenge on Sunday, posting a 14-under-par 71-69-66-68 — 274. The Idyllwild native was below the cut line after two days of the three-day cut, but sharper irons and a cooperative putter combined to launch him up the leaderboard on the weekend. Brendan has collected top-20 finishes in three out of four official events he’s played this season. He had nine top-20s in 25 official events last season. Brendan maintained his eighth spot on this season’s FedExCup points list, and he is now 48th in the Official World Golf Ranking, which is based on a weighted, rolling, two-year points system. Brendan plays again this week in the Farmers Insurance Open on the Torrey Pines Course in La Jolla. He tees off Thursday from No. 1 on the North Course at 10:40 a.m. and Friday from No. 1 on the South Course at 9:30 a.m. He is known as one of the longer drivers on the PGA Tour, and he usually outdrives his playing partners. When he combines driving length and accuracy with fine iron play and putting, as he did last week, he is a real pleasure to watch. Come join his gallery, cheer him on and follow him around at beautiful Torrey Pines this week. Jack can be reached at [email protected]. One criterion is that each team is required to use at least four drives from each player. Since the teams are made up of both high and low handicap players, this can present a challenge because the higher handicappers are more apt to struggle with hitting good drives. The team of Dennis Chavez (course handicap 9), Ken Garelick (25), David Hiemenz (40) and Lee Lanfried (26) had the lowest cumulative score and won first place with a 4-under-par 67. Jerry Daquila (26), Barry Wallace (14) and Tony McLean (20, non-member) took second with a 2-under-par 69. This team only had three players, so they rotated the fourth shot. And third place went to the team of Pete Capparelli (22), Jim Crandall (13), John King (25) and Chris Kramer (40) with a 1-under-par 70. The winners of the closest-to-the-pin contests on the four par 3s were Chavez on hole no. 3; Crandall on hole no. 8; Pete Holzman on the 12th hole; and Capparelli on hole no. 17. For this tourney, 3 points were awarded to each member of the first-place team, 2 points to each on the second-place team and 1 point to each on the third-place team. Everyone who participated received one-half point. After six tournaments for the 2017-18 season, here are the current point standings for the club championship playoffs for the new season, which runs from August 2017 through July 2018: Place 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 tied 11 12 13 tied 15 tied

Golf

Jim Crandall, Palms to Pines Golf Association handicap chair, provided this report about the Association’s regular monthly tourney on Friday, Jan. 19, at the Cross Creek Golf Club in Temecula . For the first tournament of 2018, the Association decided to play a four-man scramble instead of its regular stroke-play format. The four-man scramble features teams of four players competing against the other teams. Each team’s players hit from the tee box. Then the team members choose the best of the four shots for the second shot. All team members then play that shot from the same location. For each remaining shot, they follow the same pattern and choose the best shot. Play continues in this manner until the hole is completed. The team then records its score and maintains that format for all 18 holes. Since the teams get four chances at each shot, scores tend to be much lower than in individual stroke play.

Homeroom teacher Donna Mercer chose 8th graders Au Lin Hunt Babcock (left) and Chloe Lovett as Idyllwild School students of the week because they have positive attitudes in homeroom, are always prepared and are willing to help other students be prepared. “They are a joy to have in class,” said Mercer.

Visiting from Desert Hot Springs, Author Janie Lancaster (right) brought her book “Opal and the Secret Code” to the Idyllwild Library0 last Wednesday. The book was inspired by the life of Opal Fleming, born in 1931. Fleming, attended the Oklahoma School for the Deaf after her father learned of the school. Lancaster read from the book as it was interpreted in American Sign Language for the audience. Special guests Joe, 11, (with a picture of the American Sign Language Manual Alphabet) and Rosa Darnell, who both use ASL to communicate. PHOTO COURTESY IDYLLWILD LIBRARY
