Show June 10, 2010 FENCING OUT CRITTERS Gardening With Charlie - Kathy Bond-Borie, Guest Columnist Building a fence to keep animals out of your garden is not something to be taken lightly, but it may be the only way to put an end to the feasting of marauding critters. One groundhog can make your broccoli patch disappear overnight. One deer can cut your perennials down to nubs in the same amount of time. A neighborhood cat can turn your ORTHODONTICS garden into a litter box. www.bracesbybarnett.com Since animals have their own particular habits, it can be hard to find a onesize-fits-all solution, so focus on the animals causing the most damage. Here are some ideas for foiling some of the common animals that like to help themselves to our gardens. Deer Since deer can jump, a fence needs to be high and at an angle to deter them. One effective option is an 8- to 10-foot-tall fence slanted at a 45-degree angle toward the direction from which deer are ADVERTISE IN most likely to come. It will make them think twice about jumping. Keep the fence snug to the ground, since deer can also wiggle under fences. Electric fences baited with peanut butter and solid fences that block the view to a food source also work well. Cats and Dogs Build a wire mesh fence 3 feet high anchored with sturdy posts. Cats probably won't climb over, and most dogs can't knock it over. Bend the base of the fence outward to form a 2-foot-wide apron along the ground to discourage dogs from digging under it. Rabbits Exclude rabbits with a We'll MATCH or 2-foot-tall chicken wire fence that has 1-inch-diamBEAT any other eter holes.

The fence should also have a 2-foot-wide apron buried a few inches below the soil to stop the pests from burrowing under the fence.

MELVIN ARTHUR GRONDAHL "Dear 01' Dad" Melvin Arthur Grondahl peacefully returned to his heavenly father's loving embrace while in the presence of his family on the morning of June 3, 2010. Melvin was born on a farm in the northwestern part of Minnesota on March 12, 1920 to John & Hanna Grondahl. Melvin looked after his family and carried out a demanding schedule on the family farm during his youth. As soon as he was able, he joined the army and served in WWII as a military intelligence staff sergeant with the 379th Infantry Regiment. During his service in the War, he was responsible for securing a pivotal bunker for which he was awarded a silver star from General Patton and was mentioned on the History Channel. During WWII Melvin performed extraordinarily dangerous duties in order to provide extra monetary support to his parents. After the War, Melvin married Lillian Rose Ness on May 25th, 1946, and they soon began building their family of 7 children. Melvin joined the LDS Church in the 1950's, serving faithfully in many different callings. He relocated his family from his home in Grand Forks, ND to Hunter, UT in 1969. During his career, he worked many hours each day as an Electrician to support his wife and children. His final years were spent in Panguitch, Utah, where he enjoyed hiking and riding his bike. Melvin was an extremely talented artist with a vibrant sense of humor, which he passed on to his children. He was an extremely selfless, kind, and endearing man and all that knew him were very blessed by his association. He will be greatly missed. Melvin is preceded in death by his brothers Magnus, Elmer, Raymond, his loving wife Lillian Rose, and his daughter Connie. He is survived by his siblings, Margaret, Ralph, and Hjelmar (Jerry); his children, Calvin (Christine) Grondahl, Carol Hofhine, Charlene (Ron) Foster, Christopher (Janeen) Grondahl, Cheryl (Richard) Church, and Daniel Grondahl; 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren; and his loyal Basset Hound companion, Sunny.
