• Master Gardener: What’s happening to our naval orange tree?

  20-04-2024 16:33 via ocregister.com
  
  Q. Our young navel orange tree has a tall sprout coming up the middle. This is the first year the sprout has grown leaves; before it was just thorns. Should this sprout be cut off? This year’s crop of oranges tasted good. 
  All citrus trees are grafted onto hardy rootstock. The rootstock provides resistance to some soil-borne diseases and limits the tree’s mature height. When a shoot emerges from below the graft, it originates from the rootstock and should be removed since it is

  The cat came out of the bag at the United States Supreme Court on Tuesday.
  Since the early summer of 2020, when surfers alone in the ocean were chased by police and protesters who set cities on fire were declared “mostly peaceful,” it has seemed that equal justice under law has been torn out of the Constitution and kicked to the curb.
  More than a thousand people have been criminally charged in connection with their actions at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The government has been relent

• 37% more Southern California workers added in March than average

  20-04-2024 16:24 via ocregister.com
  
  Southern California’s bosses added 27,800 workers in March — a hiring pace 37% above the region’s pre-pandemic job growth for the month.
  My trusty spreadsheet, filled with state job figures released Friday, April 19, found 7.95 million at work in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties in March – up 27,800 in a month and up 76,900 in 12 months. Local hiring averaged 20,220 in March in 2015-19. February 2024 saw 36,400 employees added.

• Why no indoor garden should be without this plant

  20-04-2024 16:15 via ocregister.com
  
  Just as no spice cabinet should be without black pepper, no indoor plant collection should be without Peperomia.  
  When you consider the cultural requirements of black pepper (Piper nigrum) and Peperomia — the former demanding constant elevated humidity and the latter tolerating drought — you would probably conclude that they could not possibly be botanical kin, and yet they are. The genera of Piper and Peperomia are the largest in the pepper family (Piperaceae), with Piper

• With public pressure mounting, state legislators get serious about stopping shoplifting surge

  20-04-2024 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Tackling retail crime is top of mind for many state lawmakers, as evidenced by the flurry of new bills taking aim at shoplifting, smash-and-grabs and retail theft.
  Why the intense attention this legislative cycle? California politicians are facing new and mounting pressures to deliver solutions on rising rates of retail crime.
  Shoplifting jumped by 81% in the city of Los Angeles last year — from around 6,600 reports in 2022 to almost 12,000 in 2023.

  Connecting dots to create a picture is a children’s game that needs to be played by adults to see the big picture when contemplating votes on different public policy measures. That is because political maneuvering involving separate policy measures is employed to have taxpayers open their wallets when they don’t always see how one measure connects to another.
  Consider the multiple efforts to attack the homelessness issue.

  Donald Trump has stirred up controversy among conservatives after stating that access to abortion should be decided by states. Several GOP members expressed their dissatisfaction given that Trump had previously backed a federal abortion ban.
  Whatever side of the abortion debate you’re on, we should at least agree that it’s an issue that should be decided at the federal level. That’s because it’s a rights issue where the stakes are much too high.

  As San Mateo County superintendent of schools and a lifetime educator, I have a special window into schools and the lives of students. Far too often, I see the destructive impacts of social media on students and schools. Students are more often distracted, overly tired and anxious, and forgo opportunities for in-person connections. Schools, meanwhile, struggling to compete with social media for their students’ attention, manage increased incidents of online bullying and threats to the scho
