The protagonists and antagonists

Every drama has protagonists and antagonists, the audience can choose their own sides. Below we see Holly Maag, local attorney and chair person of CSA 36, listening intently to the allegations of a local Belgian restaurateur, who blamed the whole evening on the Town Crier.









Pete Capparelli, former CSA 36 chair, smiles graciously and listens to Bill Brown posing questions to ICRC about its implementation of the recreation contract with Riverside County. The county pays ICRC the costs of providing and managing local recreational programs. "Hey, he's not asking us."














Speaking for ICRC is the always deferential and eloquent local realter Vic Sirkin. However, he and Chair person Chris Singer, let Jim Ludy answer the bulk of the financial questions. Singer, who was offended by Brown's tone of voice, said "I don't know the answer, I'm just a volunteer and an innkeeper!"





The final player in Thursday's melodrama was Bill Brown, CSA Operations Manager for Riverside County's Economic Development Agency. Despite Brown stating he received several phone calls asking questions about the operations, several people continued to insist that the Town Crier stories created the rift on the ICRC board and were responsible for focusing Brown's attention on Idyllwild and attracting him to this meeting, his second trip to Idyllwild in a month. Do you wonder if County personnel get "per diem" expenses when they come here?
