To the Editor:
The tragedy that befell the Landeros Family with the loss of Rigo rocked the community. It’s been a little over two months and not a day goes by that I don’t think about my friend. Many fine citizens of our Town wrote letters to the Editor, spoke at City Council Meetings and in general are looking for understanding. We had hoped that those who contributed to the sickening event would step down from the council. As time has moved on we now see that will not be the case. Some wonderful tributes have been suggested to honor our Fire Chief and Community Servant Rigo Landeros, all are worthy of being implemented in my opinion. The community will heal, though we’ll always miss our friend. Sadly one or two obstacles are obstructing the community healing process and that is the continued presence of Rick Neal and Doug Tucker who continue to sit on the City Council Dias. Given their contribution, involvement and actions it’s my opinion that they have forfeited the privilege of representing the citizens of Fillmore and our City in any capacity.
Respectfully
Steve Conaway, Former Mayor of the City of Fillmore

To the Editor:
DEAR FILLMORE COMMUNITY.
DO YOU OWN A DOG? DO YOU LIVE IN FILLMORE? WOULD YOU LIKE A DOG PARK?
I am putting together a petition to present to Fillmore City Council to create a safe place that dogs can run free. It will take time, as long as it takes to create the petition and get as many signatures as possible. As I collect names/signatures I will be asking for a little help later; in the way of emailing and/or phone calls. I believe the more people that get on board the better our chances are for having a dog park. Please call or email me with your interest. Thank you and I hope we can get it done.
