Letters | Marriage referendum promotes freedom and families
Oct 15 2012, 8:03 AM We find the well-funded opposition to Referendum 74, which allows marriage to all, very disturbing and surprising. It is difficult to understand how the commitment and love of one human being for another is a threat to anyone. After over 35 years of marriage, we appreciate the value of a committed marriage and it would be very selfish and foolish of us to deny that opportunity to other citizens. R-74 promotes freedom, family, opportunity and equality, all core American (Republican and Democratic) values.

Winter prep: Keep your pets safe, dry this season
  - Courtesy photo Oct 16 2012, 3:35 PM As you stock up on winter supplies for yourself and your family, give a thought to any four-legged family members. Dogs, cats, horses and other animals need many of the same things people do in the winter, and a little more attention. Just like people, dogs and cats can be more susceptible to sickness in the winter. For instance, pets should limit their time outdoors, even if they are outdoor animals. A consistently wet coat can keep an animal cold, even if the temperature rises, so all pets should have a warm, dry shelter that's out of the wind.
