<br />RAMSEY SENIOR CITIZENS
<br />
<br />CLUB
<br />
<br />On Wednesday, May 2nd, 38 Ramsey Seniors gathered
<br />together for their regular (and delicious) potluck luncheon
<br />meeting at the Ramsey Municipal Center.
<br />The day's entertainment was provided by popular folk
<br />musicians, Barb and Eben Gillespie. Barb and Eben are from
<br />Cambridge and have performed at numerous benefit con-
<br />certs, local festivals and church-related events for the past
<br />13 years. Barb is a vocalist composer and plays the auto harp
<br />and piano. Although Eben also plays the piano, he is an ac-
<br />complished guitarist often times providing back-up music
<br />at fiddle contests. He has also appeared on the Prairie Home
<br />Companion radio show.
<br />Barbara Schnnittker, Housing Counselor from the Walker
<br />Plaza, was also present to speak to the Seniors about the
<br />new retirement community in downtown Anoka.
<br />Thanks to the assistance of the Ramsey Lions Club, 40
<br />members of the Ramsey Seniors will be going to the
<br />Chanhassen Dinner Theatre on June 20th.
<br />If you are interested in joining the Ramsey Senior Citizens
<br />or would like more information, please call Mary Guentzel
<br />at 421-6002.

<br />
<br />1990 ARBOR DAY
<br />
<br />CELEBRATION IS
<br />
<br />BIGGEST AND BEST EVER
<br />
<br />This year 2800 white spruce, blue spruce and Norway pine
<br />seedlings were distributed free to residents at the Tree Sale,
<br />Green Business Expo, Pet Vaccination Clinic, the Municipal
<br />Center during the week between Arbor Day (April 28) and
<br />Clean Up Day (May 5), and the Regional Landfill on Clean
<br />Up Day. Five-hundred trees were given to the Community
<br />School for distribution to students at Ramsey Elementary
<br />School.
<br />Noble Nursery sponsored the annual Tree Sale on April
<br />28 and they report that Ramsey's tree and shrub population
<br />will be increasing significantly as 2,935 items were sold that
<br />morning.
<br />The Green Business Expo at the Ramsey Municipal Center
<br />on April 28 consisted of 4 local 'green' businesses and 7
<br />educational displays. Green Valley Green House brought bed-
<br />ding plans and flower baskets; Wirz Nursery had potted
<br />evergreens; Bruce Bachler sold homemade maple syrup; and
<br />the Anoka Food Co-op brought snacks and beverages. The
<br />Anoka Soil and Water Conservation District had a slide show
<br />on erosion control; the Anoka County Extension Office was
<br />represented by Jeanette Monear (Oak Wilt Coordinator) and
<br />Molly Danielson (Horticultural Specialist). The Anoka Area
<br />Gardeners staffed an information table. Ramsey's Park and
<br />Recreation Commission had a display set up and the Min-
<br />nesota Food Association and Mississippi River Revival pro-
<br />vided information about their work. Organic Lawn Care Ser-
<br />vice had a representative present to provide information.
<br />Volunteer Jo Thieling was present to take orders for Arbor
<br />Day T-Shirts, pass out environmental brochures and assist
<br />in distributing tree seedlings to residents. Mr. Bernie Stef-
<br />fen was present providing handouts regarding the positive
<br />aesthetic and economic values of trees.
<br />Mayor Reimann and Council members Pearson and Peter-
<br />son presided at the Arbor Day Ceremony. The plantings in-
<br />cluded a lovely spruce tree and lilac bush donated by Wirz
<br />Nursery, a weeping willow donated by Noble Nursery, and
<br />3 meteor pie cherry trees and two weeping crab apple trees.
<br />Following the Arbor Day ceremony, hundreds of trees were
<br />planted at City Hall and Brookview Park. Jim Strosheim and
<br />his Boy Scout Troop #362 volunteered to spread wood chips
<br />around the seedlings planted at City Hall to protect the roots
<br />from summer heat and winter cold. This same process was
<br />used last year and more than half of last year's plantings
<br />survived the drought.
<br />In recognition of Arbor Day, the DNR Arbor Month Com-
<br />mittee donated 2500 bare root red pine and Norway spruce
<br />seedlings to the City for planting. The plantings were ac-
<br />complished by students from Sandburg Middle School under
<br />the supervision of Mark Boos, Parks and Utilities Coordinator;
<br />students from Ramsey Elementary School under the super-
<br />vision of Community Education Director Claudia Dodge; and
<br />the Girl Scout troops of Kim Langfield, Paul Staples and Wila
<br />Heger participating with 4-H Groups - Lamplighters (Gayle
<br />Rogers) - Cheerful Chuggers (Kathi Peterson) - Ramsey Road
<br />Runners (Glen Hardin) - Lucky Clovers (Barb Yenish).
<br />With community involvement like this, it's no mystery that
<br />Ramsey achieved Tree City USA designation.
<br />
<br />RAMSEY CLEANS UP IN 1990
<br />
<br />On May 5, 1990 the City of Ramsey celebrated its 7th an-
<br />nual cleanup day. Over 480 residents participated by taking
<br />advantage of the opportunity to drop off a load of debris
<br />at the landfill at no charge. We are very, very pleased to
<br />announce that this year the wait in line to enter the landfill
<br />was, on the average, 2-3 minutes in length.
<br />There are no figures available regarding the number of
<br />residents that took advantage of the various brush drop-off
<br />sites located throughout the City but it is obvious that this
<br />feature of the clean up day program provided a much need-
<br />ed service. Approximately 40 cubic yards of brush was
<br />received at the City Hall site; 10 cubic yards at the River's
<br />Bend Park site; 60 cubic yards at the Titterud Park site; 100
<br />cubic yards at the Central Park site; and 10 cubic yards at
<br />the Cross of Hope Church site.
<br />Another 35 households took advantage of the pickup ser-
<br />vice for tires, appliances and batteries provided by the
<br />Ramsey Lions on the weekend of April 28th.
<br />The amounts of special materials that were recycled dur-
<br />ing the Clean Up day and pickup weekends are as follows:
<br />
<br />MATERIAL WEIGHT
<br />
<br />Metal 11.70 Tons
<br />Tires 8.30 Tons
<br />Appliances 13.80 Tons
<br />Batteries 3.82 Tons
<br />
<br />Total 37.62 Tons
<br />
<br />(There are no figures available at this time regarding the
<br />amounts of newspaper, glass and aluminum that were recyl-
<br />ed during Clean Up Day).
<br />Over 100 residents assisted in clearing litter from road-
<br />side ditches and parks. These volunteers were treated to a
<br />picnic lunch served by the Ramsey Senior Citizens.
