<br />RYAA NEWS
<br />
<br />Thanks to all the business' and parents that
<br />donated time and labor, this year's PANCAKE
<br />BREAKFAST was a BIG SUCCESS! We do owe an
<br />apology to those who attended, in order to meet the
<br />former Minnesota Vikings. RYAA has received per-
<br />sonal written apologies from former Vikings, Buster
<br />Rhymes and Fred McNeil. Without the help of Jim
<br />Wedgewood, Nord the Barbarian and the Anoka
<br />Police Department, the smiles on the kids' faces
<br />would have been absent!
<br />Spring and Summer Sports are well under way.
<br />Practices should be beginning in 1 or 2 weeks. If you
<br />have questions regarding the upcoming season, feel
<br />free to attend this month's RYAA meeting. The
<br />meeting will be held on April 25th at 7:30 p.m. at
<br />Ramsey City Hall.
<br />The Agenda will include the following:
<br />
<br />1) Update from Spring and Summer Sports
<br />Directors
<br />2) Park Commission report regarding Central
<br />Park
<br />3) Report on Coaches and Umpires Clinics
<br />4) Concession Stand status
<br />5) Sponsorship Program status
<br />6) Interest in Roller Blade League
<br />
<br />Parents are encouraged to attend and participate in
<br />any of our monthly meetings.
<br />
<br />Roller Blade Program?
<br />
<br />RY AA is currently looking into the possibility of a
<br />roller blade program for our youths. Ideas and direc-
<br />tion are needed. We encourage parents to spread
<br />the word and attend April's monthly meeting to see
<br />if there is a big enough interested for this program
<br />in Ramsey. Please attend it!!
<br />
<br />A BIG THANKS FROM RYAA
<br />
<br />It was a huge success! If you missed it, we'll be
<br />back next year. If you're wondering what we're talk-
<br />ing about, it's the Pancake Breakfast that was held
<br />March 29 at Ramsey School and sponsored by the
<br />Ramsey Youth Athletic Association.
<br />A large number of businesses and parents
<br />volunteered their time to make it a success. There
<br />are so many of you that have helped, it would be im-
<br />possible to list each individually. At this time, RY AA
<br />and the Pancake Breakfast Committee would like to
<br />say
<br />
<br />THANK YOU!!
<br />
<br />CALLING FOR POLICE?
<br />
<br />When you have need to call for the Police Depart-
<br />ment there sometimes exists some confusion as to
<br />which phone number to use. In some aspects of our
<br />lives a little confusion doesn't hurt and can, in fact,
<br />provide some exercise for carboned up brains such
<br />as yours truly sometimes experiences. But, when
<br />you need help and need it in a hurry, confusion can
<br />lead to all kinds of unpleasantness. Therefore, I am
<br />publishing a little reminder this month concerning
<br />"How to Contact the Police" (being late for work for
<br />the first time in months and blowing a stop sign is
<br />one way, but that's another story):
<br />If you need the physical presence of the police and
<br />there is any degree of urgency in that need, call
<br />911. It can be a speeding car that just went by your
<br />house or you just came home and found the front
<br />door kicked in. It doesn't have to be life threatening
<br />or "big-time" activity to use 911. If you need an of-
<br />fice (or fire or ambulance), please use 911.
<br />If you just have some need for information or you
<br />want an officer to stop by sometime during the day,
<br />then call 427-1410. This will put you in touch with
<br />the police offices and that person will get you into
<br />contact with a Ramsey officer.
<br />You can also call the City Hall during normal
<br />business hours 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
<br />through Friday, and ask for the Police Department.
<br />After 5:00 p.m. and on weekends, however, direct
<br />all police calls to either 911 or 427-1212.
<br />Remember:
<br />Officer response needs - 911
<br />Information, normal hours - 427-1410
<br />After 5:00 p.m. & weekends - 427-1212

<br />CITY OF RAMSEY
<br />ANNUAL SPRING
<br />PET VACCINATION CLINIC
<br />
<br />The City of Ramsey will be sponsoring its annual
<br />spring pet vaccination clinic on Saturday, April 30,
<br />1988 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Vaccinations will
<br />be given by Dr. David Gilgenbach of the Elk River
<br />Veterinary Clinic and will be administered at the
<br />Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Blvd.
<br />N.W. The following shots will be offered:
<br />Rabies (canine and feline) $3.75
<br />DHLP and Parvovirus
<br />(canine) 9.90
<br />Pan RC-C-P (feline) 4.75
<br />City Ordinance requires that all dogs be vac-
<br />cinated against rabies. If your dog has been vac-
<br />cinated recently but you do not have a current
<br />license, this is your chance to purchase a dog
<br />license without having to come to City Hall during
<br />regular business hours. City personnel will be
<br />available to issue dog licenses and identification
<br />tags. The license fee is $3.00 for males and spayed
<br />females and $5.00 for unspayed females. Dogs must
<br />be licensed when they reach the age of six months.
<br />The license is valid for two years. The City does not
<br />require the licensing of cats.
<br />ALL ANIMALS MUST BE LEASHED WHEN
<br />BROUGHT TO THE CLINIC.
<br />YOU ARE URGED TO PROTECT YOUR PET,
<br />YOURSELF, AND YOUR COMMUNITY BY PAR-
<br />TICIPATING IN THE PET VACCINATION CLINIC.
<br />
<br />RAMSEY SENIOR CITIZENS
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Senior Citizens Club met on April 6,
<br />1988 and enjoyed a delicious potluck dinner. Dick
<br />Swanson and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Reynolds were
<br />visitors. Lowell and Gladys Beckenbach brought a
<br />cake for their 42nd wedding anniversary. The club
<br />presented them with a card and Andy Aanenson

<br />Aanenson led a sing-a-Iong and Edith accompanied
<br />him at the piano. Dick Swanson spoke about
<br />Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on April
<br />30, 1988. He asked for volunteers to help that day.

<br />167th Avenue N.W.
<br />
<br />BUSINESS SCENE
<br />
<br />By: Ramsey Economic Development Commission
<br />
<br />Leo LeTourneau and his wife, Jan, owners of
<br />LeTourneau's Super Valu, were raised and started
<br />their family in White Bear Lake. Having begun at the
<br />age of 15 as a bag boy, Leo's career led him to
<br />Barlow Foods, a large independent grocer located
<br />in Rochester. Leo and his family were moved to
<br />Rochester in 1969 where he advanced to General
<br />Manager over 4 stores in 3 states employing 700.
<br />In January of 1985, the LeTourneaus bought the
<br />Super Valu in Ramsey. According to Leo, "I feel on
<br />top of the world. Coming to Ramsey to run a family
<br />business was coming home." Leo and Jan and their
<br />sons Steve and John all own homes in Ramsey and
<br />their son Doug is renting in Ramsey. Four of the six
<br />LeTourneau children are active in the business.
<br />Steve is Store Manager, Doug is Produce Manager,
<br />Amy is Deli Manager and John is General Merchan-
<br />dise Manager. Jan manages the newly established
<br />Floral Department.
<br />According to Leo, the LeTourneau family goal is
<br />to provide a "friendly, convenient grocery store by
<br />doing the best job possible to serve the people of
<br />Ramsey." To accomplish this, they expanded the
<br />store to 17,360 square feet, staffed by 59 employees.
<br />All departments were enlarged and a hot/cold deli
<br />was added along with a greeting card section; flower
<br />shop; service counter offering check cashing, bot-
<br />tle return, utility bill payments and postage stamps;
<br />and film processing.
<br />For recreation, the LeTourneaus fish and golf. Leo
<br />serves on the Board of Directors of the Minnesota
<br />Grocers Association, Rum River Hills Golf Course,
<br />Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce and is a
<br />member of the Ramsey Lions.

<br />ATTENTION
<br />RAMSEY RESIDENTS

<br />survey. If you receive a survey, please take a few
<br />minutes to fill it out and return it to City Hall. All in-
