Eight residents vie for six seats

She began working for Montgomery Wards while in high school, and after earning her retail degree, went on to become an assistant manager and manager, and later was a human resources manager for the company. In 1985, she helped her husband start the Mobile Vet business, where she has worked with him since 1986.

The couple married 20 years ago and has two sons: Daniel, 17, a senior at Crescenta Valley High School and Johnathan, 14, a freshman at C.V. High.

In addition to work and being a wife and mom, Cauble said she enjoys gardening, hiking and skiing with her family and volunteer work in the community. She’s been a PTA membership chair, and worked with Toys for Tots, Spark of Love and likes to be an “anonymous Santa” at Christmastime through the post office. She’s also a new volunteer with Glendale Healthy Kids.

Cauble said she chose to run for Town Council after reading about the upcoming elections in the Valley Sun. “I just love this community so much and after contemplating I talked with [councilmember] Dennis van Bremen and he told me how rewarding it is to be on the council. I know the council is here to support the community and they do such a wonderful job; I’d like to be a part of that.”

Cauble also wants to make sure the council continues to do everything in its power to support local businesses during current economic concerns. “I’d like to see the council do more for the mom and pop shops to keep the jobs and stores here,” she said.
