<br />STRAWBERRY ROOT WEEVILS
<br />
<br />In the house - Weevils are small, often dark-
<br />colored hard-shelled insects with mouthparts
<br />elongat~d into a short snout. They are mysteriously
<br />attracted to the interior of homes. They enter
<br />buildings using available entry points, such as cracks
<br />in the foundation, around loose fitting screens and
<br />doors, and under siding.
<br />Once inside, weevils are found crawling on ceil-
<br />ings and walls. They are also seen around sinks and
<br />bathtubs because they are often attracted by
<br />moisture. There is no apparent reason for them to
<br />come inside but fortunately they don't bite or cause
<br />any damage. They are a temporary problem and are
<br />only a nuisance because they are in people's homes.
<br />Caulking cracks and using tight fitting scree!1s and
<br />doors will help minimize the number of weevils that
<br />come inside. Because some weevils are attracted
<br />by moisture, placing pans of water outside the house
<br />can trap and drown weevils. An insecticide, ~uch as
<br />diazinon, can be sprayed around the foundation and
<br />other places where they are entering, although the
<br />effect is temporary. The weevils that do get inside
<br />can be controlled by physically removing them, e.g.
<br />with a vacuum cleaner.
<br />In the home strawberry patch - Apply Malathion
<br />at one to two pounds per acre of active ingredient
<br />as a foliar application as needed, but at least three
<br />days before harvesting berries.
<br />In a commercial strawberry field - Ask the Coun-
<br />ty Extension Office for the Commercial Fruit Spray
<br />Guide for the current year.

<br />CURFEW ORDINANCE
<br />
<br />By: Chief Auspos
<br />
<br />Elsewhere in this newsletter is the text of
<br />Ramsey's new Curfew ordinance. Please read it over
<br />carefully so that you and your family will have a good
<br />understanding of its impact and importance.
<br />Ramsey, for many years has had a curfew or-
<br />dinance. So this is, in concept, nothing new. The
<br />new ordinance is however more definitive and
<br />broader in its scope.
<br />Parents and children, please look the ordinance
<br />over and become familiar with it. I think it is fair and
<br />the enforcement policy will be reasonable. Note that
<br />section 110.113 places a responsibility upon the
<br />parents who just flat allow their children to roam and
<br />run in the neighborhoods without restriction. Also,
<br />please take note that it doesn't say a child absolutely
<br />can't be out and about after the curfew hour. Rather,
<br />it says that for the child to be out there must exist
<br />a reasonable necessity to be doing so. The business
<br />about the child's being out after those hours without
<br />a reasonable necessity being evident simply means
<br />that just being out is evidence of violation but the
<br />officer can consider other factors as further
<br />evidence. In other words, lets say a Ramsey officer
<br />stops a couple of youngsters who are under the age
<br />for the curfew hours and we'll use 1 :30 a.m. for the
<br />example. He observes them to be walking south on
<br />Ramsey Blvd. in the 14900 block. When asked
<br />where they are going and they reply, "We are go-
<br />ing home" the officer then asks where they live. Both
<br />reply that they live in the 16000 block of Ramsey
<br />Blvd. Now, they are either very confused as to their
<br />directions or they plan on covering about 25,000
<br />miles around the globe to get home. Since neither
<br />of the two prospects are likely, the officer will take
<br />them into custody and cite for a curfew violation.
<br />They will either be taken to the PO and the parents
<br />called or if the officer has other calls holding he may
<br />run them to their houses and wake up the parent(s)
<br />to accept them and the citations. However, if in fact
<br />the officer hears convincing statements about their
<br />intentions and feels comfortable with this he may
<br />take them to their homes and drop them off, again
<br />after waking the parents to take custody and no cita-
<br />tion will be issued.
<br />We fully realize that the curfew is not a panacea
<br />for the problem of vandalism and theft. There will
<br />always be a certain percentage of youths who are
<br />not monitored by their parents and run at all hours.
<br />They will attempt to avoid contact with the police and
<br />are, likely, intent on committing vandalism or steal-
<br />ing. Because it is very dark on our streets and they
<br />can see us coming, this type can easily hide and
<br />we'll have to try other ways to deal with them. For
<br />the vast majority however the curfew serves to keep
<br />the honest ones honest and to set some guidelines
<br />for acceptable community behavior.
<br />As I said, we will enforce this curfew with reason
<br />and in the spirit of the law as much as possible. It
<br />may be that a trip to the city hall at 1 :30 in the morn-
<br />ing will jog the consciousness of a parent or two and
<br />some kids will be removed from situations which
<br />could lead them to troubles with the community.
<br />Thank you.
