<br />
<br />SOUP LABEL DRIVE
<br />
<br />A SUCCESS AT RAMSEY
<br />
<br />ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Elementary School Media Center will have 28
<br />new books as a result of the collection of Campbell's soup
<br />labels.
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Elementary School PT A sponsored the "Camp-
<br />bell's Soup Labels for Education Program" and a total of
<br />14,900 labels were collected and sent on to Campbell's label
<br />headquarters.
<br />
<br />Chairperson Sue Hagen said, "It was a fun project to par-
<br />ticipate in because so many people collected labels for us:
<br />Teachers, students, parents and Ramsey residents who
<br />didn't even have children attending Ramsey Elementary
<br />School". "We are grateful for everyone's help and ask that
<br />you keep saving labels for next year's drive."
<br />
<br />Labels can be dropped off at, or mailed to Ramsey Elemen-
<br />tary School, 15000 Nowthen Boulevard N.W., Ramsey,
<br />Minnesota 55303.

<br />RECREATIONAL BURNING
<br />
<br />PERMITS REQUIRED IN THE
<br />
<br />CITY OF RAMSEY
<br />
<br />Burning permits for recreational fires (piled brush no larger
<br />than 3 ft. in diameter) are available at City Hall and must
<br />be obtained before you burn. Permits begin on the date of
<br />issuance (exception is Friday when it could be issued to begin
<br />on Saturday). You may burn for three consecutive evenings
<br />between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Only burning of woody
<br />materials and brush is allowed (no leaves, garbage, treated
<br />lumber, etc.). Barrel burning is not allowed. Residents served
<br />by the Anoka-Champlin Fire Department must call the fire
<br />department before each burn. Failure to comply with DNR
<br />rules and regulations could result in revocation of your
<br />permit.
<br />
<br />WEED CONTROL CHEMICALS
<br />
<br />DAMAGE TREES
<br />
<br />The Anoka County Extension Service has received several
<br />samples this spring of chemical damage to trees and shrubs.
<br />Often times the damage is confused with disease problems
<br />taking the form of wilting, twisted stems and leaves, unusual-
<br />ly dark green leaf color and brown spots on the leaf surface.
<br />
<br />Lawn weed control chemicals can cause damage to trees
<br />and shrubs. Make sure to follow the manufacturers label in-
<br />structions. Never apply weed killers more often or in a greater
<br />amount than label recommendations. If you don't have
<br />serious weed problems, don't spray or just spot treatment
<br />to minimize the potential for tree damage.

<br />SECOND YEAR BRUSH
<br />
<br />CHIPPING SCHEDULE UPDATE
<br />
<br />The City of Ramsey began its second brush chipping pro-
<br />gram this spring. The City has awarded the contract for the
<br />brush chipping program to Outside Services.
<br />
<br />The program this year received over 200 applications for
<br />brush chipping services. These applications were then zoned
<br />according to their location in the City. Each of these zones
<br />(A through F) will be chipped on an individual basis by zone.
<br />The deadline for applying for brush chipping services was
<br />May 31. If you missed the deadline, you may call Mike Mar-
<br />quart at 427-1410 to see if arrangements can be made to
<br />have your brush chipped.
<br />
<br />All residents in the program will be notified ahead of time
<br />as to when their area will be serviced. In an effort to com-
<br />plete all of the individual brush chipping applications as close
<br />as possible to schedule, the City asks that you not dump
<br />any more brush in the designated drop-off areas. If you have
<br />any questions or problems, please contact Mike at City Hall
<br />(427 -1410).
<br />
<br />COMPOSTING STRATEGIES
<br />
<br />The Minnesota Extension Service of Anoka County invites
<br />you to the Bunker Hills Activities Center at 550 Bunker Lake
<br />Blvd. in Anoka on Wednesday, July 18 from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
<br />to learn basic composting strategies.
<br />
<br />The seminar will focus on what, where, how, and why we
<br />should all be composting in our own backyards.
<br />
<br />Let us help you master this ancient and old technique that
<br />has been forgotten.
<br />
<br />You may pre-register at 755-1280. A $2.00 fee will be
<br />charged at the door for materials.
