The sisters of Daughters of Norway Hulda Garborg Lodge #49 have had a "Soups & Sweaters" luncheon at their January or February meeting every year since 2010. Norway has long cold winters so the theme fits with the group's mission to learn and share the Scandinavian culture. However, there have been several years when the temperature was too warm to wear Scandinavian sweaters. This year, though, the weather cooperated with a rainy morning and a cool 58° high for Feb. 9. Lodge sisters signed up ahead of time for soups,...

Nature lies fallow in winter in preparation for the new year. All life needs rest in order to grow with greater strength. Winter is the time of withdrawal that precedes renewal. But now it’s time to take a few simple steps to wake roses up for a great year. There is no magical specific date to prune. According to all accounts and professional rosarians, the proper time is “late winter.” This time has many meanings, but the bottom line is to prune late enough that there...
The Fallbrook Public Utility District re-bid the re-coating of the district’s Sandia and Bucknell reservoirs, and the second round of bids gave FPUD a satisfactory expenditure to award. A 5-0 FPUD board vote Jan. 28 approved a contract award to AMP United for the National City company’s bid amount of $700,848. “The award ended up being about $150,000 lower by going back out to bid,” Jack Bebee, FPUD general manager, said. “That was definitely the appropriate action.” In 2012, FPUD developed a 10-year program to re-coat all...
