A changing of the guards — all under a veil of secrecy. After a nearly two-month medical leave absence, Patrick Reitz is no longer fire chief and Mark LaMont, who hosted Reitz’s wedding at his Garner Valley spread, is now the acting. Someone could write a book about LaMont, whom a Riverside County Grand Jury…
