Heading into today's first-round
game of the Girls Class B State
Tournament. the Beach Buccaneers
will be matching up with a team
that's a mirror image of itself, the
Beach coach says.
The Buccaneers played the
Napoleon Imperials on Dec. 14. as
the season opener, and lost. 55-60.
But the experience gave the "Run-
ning Bucs" some additional insight
into what would become their first
state tournament opponent this year.
"We've got a tough game ahead
of us." Bob Waldal. head coach, told
the Golden Valley News on March
17. "We press the same: they're a
mirror image of us.;"
In the days prior to leaving for
the game with Napoleon, set for l
p.m. at the F~irgodome, Waldalsaid
his team spent its time reviewing its
strengths and weaknesses.
"Napoleon plays a lot like us but are
probably faster than we are." he
said.
"For the love of the game. can

coming into the 2012-13 basketball
season." Waldal added in a prepared
statement earlier this week. "Last

,, Maximizing the use of garden
space is also recommended. One way
is to intercrop - that is to set plants
within other plants. Citing the gar-
dening practices of the American In-
dian, Buffalo Bird Woman, Kalb
explained the "four sister~ of a
Dakota garden," by planting sun-
flowers in the back row, corn in the
next row, then green or pole beans,
corn and beans again, arid then win-
ter squash in the front row and along
the sides, this deters plant predators
from coming rote the gardeh. Scat-
tering plants from the same family
group, like tomatoes, peppers, pota-

toes, or cucumbers, melon and
' squash will also prevent pests from
damaging plants that were set to-
gether. And plants such as peppers,
garlic and herbs will confuse the
plant predators, keeping them from
damaging the garden.
To prevent pests, Kalb recom-
mended using physical barriers, such
as cheesecloth, removing crop
residue, controlling weeds, and to
avoid routine spraying as that may
kill those insects that are helpful in
eliminating the harmful pests that
cause damage.
Organic insecticides, such as
bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is
natural and safe to use; insecticidal
soap, or botanicals such as neem,
garlic, and hot pepper are options.
Rabbits can also cause a great
deal of destruction to gardens, and
one of the best ways to prevent this it
to put wire fencing around the gar-
den plot, burying a portion of the
wire underground so that the garden
can't be reached by the animal dig-
ging underneath it. ,
