<br />DUAL LEARNING IS THE GOAL
<br />
<br />OF THE ANOKA SENIOR HIGH
<br />
<br />PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
<br />
<br />The Anoka Senior High Preschool Program helps high school
<br />students enrolled in Child Development and Child Care Oc-
<br />cupation classes gain insight into the growth of young
<br />children, and gives the students an opportunity to apply
<br />classroom learning as they observe and interact with the
<br />preschoolers.
<br />For the preschoolers it is hoped that this will provide them
<br />with a variety of experiences with children their own age and
<br />to help them relate successfully with these children.
<br />The preschool program is set up for ages 4-5 and meets
<br />three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday) for 2112
<br />hours and runs through the school year. There are two ses-
<br />sions: 8:00-10:30 and 11 :30-2:00. For more information,
<br />contact Joan Copa 422-5728

<br />
<br />CLUB
<br />
<br />On September 5th, 32 Ramsey Seniors enjoyed a potluck
<br />luncheon at the Senior Center in the Ramsey Municipal
<br />building. The Ramsey Seniors hadn't met at their regular
<br />meeting center for two months; the July meeting was a pic-
<br />nic that was rained out and the August meeting date fell on
<br />Seniors Day at the County Fair.
<br />Anoka County Commissioner Natalie Hass Steffen attend-
<br />ed the September meeting to give a presentation on solid
<br />waste issues including how to dispose of your waste respon-
<br />sibly, back yard composting, curbside recycling. Natalie also
<br />reported that the Anoka County Traveler, a new public tran-
<br />sit service, is doing well. For only $1.00, the Anoka County
<br />Traveler will provide transportation form your front door to
<br />anywhere in Anoka County. The County Traveler is spon-
<br />sored by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners and the
<br />Regional Transit Board.
<br />Florence and Harold Hunt were elected Ramsey Senior King
<br />and Queen and will represent Ramsey in this year's annual
<br />Anoka Halloween Parade.
<br />The next potluck luncheon meeting of the Ramsey Seniors
<br />will be Wednesday, October 3 at the Ramsey Municipal
<br />Center. Winston Granger of the Senior Federation has been
<br />scheduled to talk to the group about living wills.
<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 />WE'RE GOING YOUR WAY!
<br />
<br />NEW TRANSIT SERVICE
<br />
<br />AVAILABLE IN
<br />
<br />ANOKA COUNTY
<br />
<br />One of the first comprehensive shared-ride services of its
<br />kind in the United States began service in Anoka County
<br />recently.
<br />Called the" Anoka County Traveler" (Traveler) this new
<br />service is Minnesota's first county-wide, locally coordinated
<br />door-to-door public transit service to operate for the general
<br />public. It is sponsored by the Anoka County Board of Com-
<br />missioners and the Regional Transit Board.
<br />The service is unique because it was created for everyone
<br />- regardless of age, income or mobility restrictions; there
<br />are no eligibility requirements. The goal is to provide transit
<br />opportunities for everyone: Teenagers, commuters, senior
<br />citizens, youth, college students and parents.
<br />Morley Bus Company of Forest Lake, the service provider,
<br />purchased and is running seven new deluxe, air-conditioned
<br />minibuses for the Traveler. Each minibus is equipped with
<br />a wheelchair lift and is accessible to the disabled.
<br />For about one dollar residents can go anywhere within 19
<br />communities served in Anoka County. (Service to Columbia
<br />Heights, Fridley and Hilltop is proposed to be added in 1991.)
<br />The start-up hours for the Traveler in several Anoka County
<br />communities are from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the week;
<br />there are shorter hours on the weekends. Residents can call
<br />the Anoka County Traveler hotline at 422-7075 for informa-
<br />tion about the specific service hours in the various Anoka
<br />County communities.
<br />One call to 464-8883 - made at least 24-hours in advance
<br />- is all it takes to request a ride on the Traveler. This phone
<br />is also a TTYITDY phone number for the hearing-impaired.
<br />The door-to-door shared ride service is available to help
<br />make residents of Anoka County more independent. For ex-
<br />ample, residents can take the Traveler to shopping centers,
<br />to movie theatres, to appointments, to entertainment spots,
<br />to places of employment, to sports games, to school and
<br />many other places. In fact, the Traveler will take riders just
<br />about anywhere in Anoka County. It also provides a link to
<br />other transit services in the area - such as the North Subur-
<br />ban Bus Lines and the Metropolitan Transit Commission
<br />(MTC) bus lines.
<br />Coon Rapids resident, Eileen Schefelbein, started using
<br />the Traveler right away. "It has helped me enormously!"
<br />she said. "I don't drive so I need transportation to go to
<br />doctor appointments, shopping and the library...Now I can
<br />be indenpendent."
<br />"This new service is unbelievable," said Karen Bryd, an
<br />Andover resident who is employed at Mercy Hospital and
<br />takes the Traveler to work. "Many of my friends use the
<br />Traveler, too. Now they can go to the grocery store, to the
<br />beauty shop and even to the homes of other friends - without
<br />having to bother other people for rides."
<br />The Traveler is a 17-month pilot program to test the ser-
<br />vice needs of the County. The program goal is to provide
<br />at least 144,000 one-way rides during that time. The Regional
<br />Transit Board will make the final decision about continuing
<br />the program beyond 1991.
<br />For more information about this new transit service, call
<br />the Traveler hotline at 422-7075.
