<br />RAMSEY YOUTH PARTICIPATE
<br />
<br />IN GUN SAFETY PROGRAM
<br />
<br />Twenty-three Ramsey area youth, 12 to 16 years
<br />of age, recently completed the Minnesota Youth
<br />Firearms Safety Course sponsored by the Division
<br />of Enforcement and Field Service of the Department
<br />of Natural Resources and the Ramsey Jaycees. The
<br />classes were conducted by Larry Anderson and
<br />Dean Jaros, registered firearm safety training
<br />instructors.
<br />The classes were held at Fred Moore Junior High
<br />and covered gun handling, firearms safety in the
<br />home and field, care of firearms, basic marksman-
<br />ship and hunter responsibility. The course ter-
<br />minated with a field trip at Metro Winchester Gun
<br />Club.
<br />State law prohibits anyone under the age of 16
<br />from buying a hunting license or using a firearm
<br />when not in the presence of an adult unless he has
<br />a firearms safety certificate. Youths between the
<br />ages of 14 and 16 who possess a certificate are per-
<br />mitted to hunt without adult supervision.
<br />Those Ramsey youth successfully completing the
<br />course were: Steve Archambeau, Christian
<br />Johansen, Tom Sahr, Craig Thoreson, Christopher
<br />Wood, Michael Reid, William Johnson, April

<br />tion to the Anoka High School Band to aid them in
<br />obtaining their new trailer that will be used to
<br />transport instruments and uniforms.

<br />RAMSEY STUDENTS RAISE
<br />
<br />THOUSANDS IN RUN-A-THON
<br />
<br />Students at Ramsey Elementary School raised
<br />$13,774 for field trips and special programs with a
<br />one hour Run-a-Thon Relay last month.
<br />The Run-a-Thon consisted of a non-competitive
<br />class relay in which students took turns running so
<br />that one student was running for the entire hour.
<br />Participants collected pledges for their participa-
<br />tion in the activity, which was part of a physical
<br />education unit on physical fitness. Teachers and
<br />parents were involved in the activity as well as
<br />students.
<br />Each participant received a red ribbon and those
<br />who earned $20 or more received special t-shirts.
<br />Students who collected the most were Josh Kohl,
<br />grade two, and Ryan Semanko, grade three.
<br />The school staff thanks the following businesses
<br />which donated prizes for the event: Burger King,
<br />Anoka, McDonald's, Anoka, LeTourneau's Super
<br />Valu, Ramsey, On the Green Restaurant, Ramsey,
<br />Pizza Hut, Anoka, and M and L Liquors, Ramsey.

<br />RAMSEY SENIORS
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Seniors had their usual, monthly pot
<br />luck luncheon on November 4th. Following the lun-
<br />cheon, Mr. Milton Anderson of the Ramsey Lions
<br />spoke to the group. The Lions are suggesting that
<br />they would like to take the Seniors on a holiday trip
<br />through Minneapolis and St. Paul to see the beautiful
<br />holiday lights. The dates chosen by the Seniors for
<br />the holiday trip is either December 9 or December
<br />15, leaving from City Hall anytime after 3:00 p.m. The
<br />final date, to be selected by the Lions, will be shared
<br />with all senior citizen members in plenty of time to
<br />plan on participating in the trip.
<br />The Ramsey Seniors will meet again on the first
<br />Wednesday in December for a potluck luncheon and
<br />Christmas party. Everyone attending is requested to
<br />also bring a gift - men for men and ladies for ladies.
<br />There will also be door prizes.
<br />If you are interested in joining the Ramsey Seniors
<br />or would like more information, call Dorothy Scrog-
<br />gins at 421-4414.

<br />STATUS OF OAK WILT AND
<br />
<br />GYPSY MOTH IN
<br />
<br />ANOKA COUNTY
<br />
<br />In June, a gypsy moth infestation was detected
<br />in Oak Grove Township. Control was not practical
<br />at that point, so personnel from the Minnesota
<br />Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department
<br />of Agriculture collected data on the size of the gyp-
<br />sy moth population. Burlap larval traps were used
<br />early in the season, followed by pheromone traps to
<br />catch adult male moths. The area was surveyed for
<br />new egg masses at the end of August. The infested
<br />area appears to be smaller than 30 acres, and the
<br />population density is till too low to produce any
<br />observable damage to trees and shrubs.
<br />The infestation will probably receive an eradica-
<br />tion treatment in the spring of '88. The exact acreage
<br />to be sprayed and the insecticide of choice are still
<br />under consideration. The local news media will carry
<br />official notice of public hearings this fall or winter.
<br />Oak wilt is the pressing issue at this time. The in-
<br />cidence of the disease is increasing due to rapid
<br />residential development in Anoka County. Good
<br />media coverage this year has intensified citizen sup-
<br />port and requests for help to control oak wilt. In
<br />response, the Anoka County Soil & Water Conser-
<br />vation District and Extension Service have teamed
<br />up with the Minnesota Departments of ,Agriculture
<br />and Natural Resources to initiate an Oak Wilt Con-
<br />trol and Reforestation Pilot Program.
<br />Training workshops for tree inspectors, educa-
<br />tional meetings for the public, and sale of 100,000
<br />tree seedlings are being planned for this winter and
<br />next spring. The goal of this program is to standar-
<br />dize control recommendations, organize local citizen
<br />support, and offer low cost trees to replace diseas-
<br />ed oaks.
