With the late frost in this region, we have until the end of February to prune rose bushes in order to reset the plants’ biological clock. It’s like a wake-up call to begin a new life cycle, like restarting a factory. To do the job right, one needs to have a range of pruner sizes handy. Each size has a limit to the diameter thickness for which it is most efficiently used; using too small a pruner on too large a cane can damage both. At minimum, have a pair of loppers and a sta...

My husband and I would like to thank the VFW Post 1924 and Ladies Auxiliary for all of their efforts to help with a fundraiser for our 7-year-old grandson, Mason. Mason was diagnosed with aplastic anemia in December and immediately the Ladies Auxiliary stepped up to do a fund raiser/raffle for Mason’s medical bills. The post also has been generous in their endeavors to help. Many people do not realize the importance of community support until they deal with a life threatening situation like the one that has afflicted our f... Full story
Raises in the minimum wage do nothing to combat poverty, they hurt the people that they purport to help. A minimum wage job is one that is designed for teens and first time workers. It is a job that is for someone with no experience where if they work hard they can either move up in the company or gain experience and move on to a higher paying position. When we raise the minimum businesses refuse to hire low productivity workers with no experience for high wages, not to mention health care costs. Income inequality is a good...

The North County Fire Protection District declared a 1990 auto extrication system to be surplus equipment.
