Three-year effort began as part of Eagle Scout work.
BY SCOTT AUST

Brad Nading/Telegram Heriberto Rodriguez prepares to set another concrete block in to place Tuesday while building the base structure at the south entrance to Garden City, along Main Street at the southeast corner of Peebles Complex.
It’s hard for Ryan Steel to describe his thoughts at seeing a three-year project finally become reality.
It’s a combination of relief, pride and joy for the 17-year-old Garden City High School junior.
“It’s kind of all of the above,” Steel said of his Garden City Make It Beautiful project. “It feels pretty good to have an accomplishment like that. Now, as I’ve been driving by and looking at it, it gives me a proud feeling to be a part of it.”
City workers on Friday were putting the finishing touches on an 8-foot by 14-foot entryway sign on south Main Street near the Peebles Complex that features a bronze sculpture that Steel was instrumental in raising money to build.
The sculpture features three, 4-foot by 4-foot bronze plates depicting in three-dimensional relief buffalo, trains and cattle — a trifecta of Garden City heritage.
Steel has been working on the project for about three years. It started as a way to help Steel earn his Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts of America.
“It didn’t start out this big. It started as a smaller metal cutout. But as we got going, we kind of had a vision of bigger and better,” he said.
As part of becoming an Eagle Scout, Steel had to do a project that benefited the city in some way, and it had to involve a certain number of hours devoted to community service. Steel went to Kaleb Kentner, community development director for the city, asking about potential projects. Kentner told Steel the city had a beautification plan that involved trying to add more art or items at the entryways that would make the city more attractive.
Steel took it from there.
After contacting the owner of a Utah bronze foundry, Mike Baer of Baer Bronze, Steel was put in contact with an artist, Mike Hall, who sculpted the molds and panels for the project.
Steel said his mother, who is also an artist, “pretty much had all the vision in this.” He credits his mother with thinking bigger than the metal cutouts, as well as ideas for celebrating the city’s past in the artwork.
“She had ideas, and then I put my ideas in and the artist put his ideas in,” he said. “So we got what we got.”
So far, Steel has raised $35,000 to $36,000 for the project, including contributions from the city of Garden City, the Finnup Foundation and donations from a multitude of local businesses and individuals. Steel also put on a 5-kilometer fun run two years ago as a fundraising event.
Steel said he will probably go to college when he graduates from high school, but he hasn’t made any plans made about where he wants to go. Right now, Steel is thinking about optometry or going into a medical field, although nothing is set in stone.
Though the project is substantially complete, it still needs some work — and additional funds.
“We aren’t there yet. We still have a little bit to go to help with some ideas that will make this even better for landscaping and stuff like that,” he said.
Eventually, sidewalks and landscaping are planned. Donations may be sent to Steel at 1712 Grandview Drive East in Garden City.

Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) — The city of Fargo expects to spend more than 23-million dollars buying out homes in flood-prone neighborhoods this year.
Seven of those homes, in Oak Creek and Harwood Drive, are up for auction on Monday.
Several people stopped by these homes this afternoon, some of them could get quite a deal.
The catch…these homes can’t stay here. They are buyouts in the flood-prone neighborhoods of Oak Creek and Harwood Drive. Still, there are plenty of reasons to take a look inside.
Jim Lakoduk/Pifer’s Realty Agent: “Decorating ideas, some are just curious to see how they laid the look. And some, of course, are thinking about moving them. Then we have the people that interested in perhaps salvaging parts of the house.”
Ken: “I moved my home in Ada a number of years ago, so I’m familiar with what it takes.”
Ken Thomas is a Moorhead resident. He says he is curious about the possibilities with these Oak Creek homes.
The challenge with moving these homes, is that the city imposed a 27-foot limit to get them down the street without harming trees and other landscaping. That means they would have to be cut into pieces before they’re moved.
Ken: “You have to add the numbers up though, too. It doesn’t take too long, you can start seeing 250-thousand dollars disappear by the time it’s moved, lot, landscape, a foundation.”
The homes were valued between 300 and 500-thousand dollars… but could go for pennies on the dollar at auction.
The auction is at Fargo City Hall this Monday at one o’clock.

When we think of native California wildflowers, we usually envision wide swaths of gold or blue blossoms draped over the state’s open spaces. The state’s hundreds of annual wildflowers are great treasures of nature, whether in open fields or private gardens, but our delight with the annuals should extend to California’s perennial wildflowers. Many of these are excellent candidates for the residential garden.
Both the annual and perennial wildflowers offer all the benefits of native plants: having evolved to thrive in our dry-summer climate and native soil, they are both easy to grow and eagerly enjoyed by the native fauna for food and shelter.
Many native perennial wildflowers are valuable assets for the home garden. Here are a few of the most popular:
· Foothill Penstemon (Penstemon heterophyllus) and Bush Monkey-flower (Mimulus spp.) grow well in both full sun and partial shade.
· Pacific Coast Irises, smaller than the tall bearded irises, include the best-known Douglas Iris (I. douglasiana) and 10 other species. These plants hybridize easily in the wild, so they are usually referred to by their group name. Both species plants and natural hybrids are reliable bloomers, as are the many cultivated hybrids.
Pacific Coast Irises are difficult to transplant successfully, so are usually propagated in the fall by divisions or seeds.
· Alumroot (Heuchera spp.), a small, easily grown plant for the shade garden, occurs in 16 native California
species, including H. maxima, H. sanguinea, and H. micrantha. Growers have developed many hybrids with a variety of leaf colors. The flowers are attractive but not the primary attraction.
· Hummingbird Sage (Salvia spathacea), which prefers moist and shady conditions, produces large triangular leaves and carmine red flowers on stems that rise up to three feet.
See ongardening.com for sources of information on many more California native perennial wildflowers.

Fruit trees need to be pruned for quality fruit. This tree has too many branches, and will try to make too many fruits.
A fruit tree such as an apple tree can only produce so many apples to have quality fruit. Pruning achieves a reduction in apples, and creates quality fruit.
Pruning fruit trees is almost an art that is learned over several years.
I’m going to help you get started on pruning fruit trees. You may want to contact your MSU county extension office to learn more about completely pruning fruit trees.
If you have an apple tree like the first picture, it has too many branches and needs to be pruned. In fact, fruit trees need to be pruned every year.
The first limbs to remove are any dead or broken limbs. Here one limb is broken and hanging down.
Let’s get started. Obviously you need good, sharp pruning shears and a sharp saw.
The first limbs to remove are the easy ones. Remove any dead or broken branches. That is simple.
The broken branches are a disease entry point.
Some limbs are hard to visually see if they are dead. I just snap the end. If it snaps easily and is brown inside, it is dead.
Water shoots are the next to remove. Water shoots are thin branches that grow straight up off of main branches. These will never produce fruit.
The next branch type to remove is pretty easy to recognize. They are called water shoots. Why? I have no idea.
They will never produce fruit, and just take away energy from fruiting limbs.
Water shoots look different than the other branches. They are skinny, usually reddish colored, and have few buds.
You’ll notice the tree starts to instantly look better without those water shoots.
Branches that are touching each other are not good. Remove one of the branches all of the way back at the main trunk.
Now the pruning starts to get a little tougher, but you should already be noticing a difference. Any branches that are touching and crossing over each other need to have some work done.
Take out one of the branches all the way back at the main trunk of the tree. Which one? Now you start to develop your eye for the art of pruning.
Remove the branch that doesn’t look like it would grow in the right place in the future. Look at how the crossing branches relate to the surrounding branches. Keep the branch that will have a good space between the neighboring limbs.
Now the obvious to prune limbs are gone. How much should you prune after this? There is an old rule of thumb. You want to be able to throw your winter hat through the tree and have it come out the other side.
Yes, that’s a bizarre rule of thumb. It illustrates how skimpy a fruit tree should be when talking about the number of branches.
Start cutting out more branches at the main trunk.
Think about what direction the branches you leave will grow this coming year.
Will they stay separated from other branches?
This tree is half pruned. The bottom half is pruned and the top half isn’t. You can see the limited number of branches on the bottom of the tree.
The final picture shows a tree that is half pruned. The bottom half is done, and the top still needs pruning.
This also shows why I like drawf fruit trees, and not semi-dwarf or standard sized trees.
The taller they get, the harder it is to properly prune and spray the trees.
Most of my apples trees are dwarf, but this example is a semi-dwarf. I have to get on a ladder to prune the top of the tree. That’s not fun in the cold wind at this time of year.
This is just a good start on your way to having your own home-grown fruit.
For those of you wanting to start some fruit trees, I can tell you it’s a great challenge if you want to tackle “harder” gardening.
To bite into an apple you grew is a great reward. You can also choose to spray the trees with organic insecticides, giving the apples less traditional chemicals.
Last chance to prune oaks
If you have a limb on an oak tree you want to remove, you have to do it now.
Oak trees shouldn’t be pruned when it has warmed up. The oak wilt disease can invade a cut in an oak tree and kill it. It’s too pretty and valuable of a tree to lose!
If you are going to have your winter coat on when pruning the limb, and the weather is expected to stay cold for a few weeks, it is okay to prune an oak tree.
That is why I say now is the last chance to prune your oak trees until next winter.
Master pruners please teach us more
This is just a start, and there are many tips to fruit tree pruning. Any readers that have suggestions to help us all, please post your comments below.

The blog includes breathtaking inspiration photography of Longfield Gardens’ creations, gardens and combinations that readers can take and implement in their own yard.
Various experts will offer tips on the blog, like those from creative director Marlene Thompson, who has 15 years of experience in the horticulture industry and product developer Jen Pfau, who shares ideas on how different bulbs look and act together in the garden. Pfau selects the ‘Perfect Together’ collections to create beautiful colored blooms and interesting foliage in the garden. Another contributor is Dave Strabo, longtime industry expert, who identifies which bulbs produce better flowering results, fuller plants and stronger stems.
“Buy with confidence. Love what you grow. That’s our approach. We’re gardeners ourselves and we want fellow gardeners to be comfortable shopping with us, knowing exactly the quality of product they will get,” says Langeveld.
Longfield Gardens is one of America’s top importers of quality flower bulbs with over 80 years of combined experience in the bulb industry. Longfield’s mission is to stretch the customer’s dollar and offer common sense planting information that is easy to follow. This simple approach to selling bulbs saves their customers time and money.
