A winning design graces the door at Beans
When rising Grant County High School seniors Tinu Luu and Kenzie Culbertson started talking about their entry for a regional Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) visual design competition, it didn't take long for them to decide on a subject for their project.

Keeping birds away from ripening small fruits
Birds that feed on ripening small fruit can be a problem for homeowners with plantings of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, currants and grapes. There are multiple techniques that may be effective in keeping birds away, depending on bird populations and other available foods. These include using bird scare balloons with large eyes on the sides, placing rubber snakes or owls around plants, hanging aluminum pie pans or old CDs that blow in the breeze or using reflective tape over and around the plants.
