Mrs. Reeder, Your attempts to use a personal vendetta against me in no way define my character nor my qualifications for the position I am running for. You speak about disqualifying me for this role due to a dispute between my business and yours that occurred two years ago and amounted to a $200 ticket. Your actions are vindictive and petty. Your article was filled with apocryphal statements and misleading attempts to hijack the electoral process. The people of this community who know me, know the type of character that I pos...

FALLBROOK – The strong bonds many people share with their pets can make the death of those pets, be it sudden or expected, difficult to handle.

Different pet owners deal with the death of a pet in different ways, but the following are som...
