Spring-like temperatures bring out mosquitos
Watch the story
Feb 22, 2012 at 10:28 AM

SACRAMENTO, CA - There are four weeks left of winter, but the spring-like temperatures have people noticing more mosquitos than in years past. 

Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District officials say a year ago there were actually more mosquitos in the Sacramento area, but...more because of the warmer, dryer weather people are spending more time outside this year and noticing the mosquitos.

Crews will be doing additional mosquito trapping, including Elk Grover and Wilton, which were hot spots for West Nile Virus last year.

According to Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, the first bird of 2012, testing positive for West Nile virus, has been found, which is not unusual considering this winter's dry and warm weather.

The mosquito species that is out in the Sacramento area right now is typically a day-biter and likes to go inside, so keep windows and doors shut.

SACRAMENTO, CA - Hundreds of teachers and staff marched to Elk Grove Unifed School Cistrict building Tuesday night; as many as 2,000 people showed up to protest district budget cuts.

Many of the teachers went before school board members and sounded off against the proposed health...more benefit cuts and pending layoffs. A lot of the teachers wore pink arm bands representing pink slips.

Tuesday night, school boardmembers approved criteria for handing out pink slips; 240 teachers and staff could be impacted when pink slips go out by March 15.

The district is also currently negotiating a cap on health care benefits. Among the proposed health costs, a single person could expect to pay $63.40 a month for care.

According to the district spokeswoman, right now, teachers don't have to pay anything for health care.

The district will continue to look into health care issue next month.

Eat Well, Live Free - Elena’s Peanut Butter Balls
Feb 22, 2012 at 12:00 AM

The truth is, I was going to make something with frozen bananas for today’s post because I am still so psyched about the power breakfast smoothie. But… Marcos had put the left over frozen bananas away in the refrigerator. That’s right, a big pile of mush. I asked my helpful honey, why he...more didn’t put them back in the freezer, and he innocently asked, ‘Well we still can, can’t we?’

Note: We have a “leave no man behind” rule in our house. So, if you are one of my readers who eats out way too much, and you are scratching your head right now, wondering why frozen bananas don’t go into the refrigerator, don’t worry I will help you (and my husband) learn to cook delicious healthy foods.

Anyway, I did find a bag of peanuts from Trader Joe’s and remembered that I promised my cousin Elena a post. So today is her day.

Elena came over to visit with her new sewing machine for a girls day which included a very serious discussion about peanut butter balls. I told her
