Sarahi Perez Trick-or-Treating this year was kind of tricky due to Halloween falling on a weekday, which was Tuesday, Oct. 31.

My siblings and I always go to Rancho Viejo for... Full story

She really loves her job and her passion for helping others made her decide to join the Sheriffs. The process of becoming a sheriff officer is long and challenging but totally worth it. You must take initial exams and go through an extensive background process. When they hire you, you attend a 6-month academy. The academy... Full story

I count myself among the latter, a late adapter to the computer, the cloud and the ever-expanding universe of hand-held d...
