SCHOOL WILL SOON BE IN SESSION PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY. TRAFFIC SAFETY By Chief Auspos Minnesota Statutes regulate passing on the right- hand side of a turning vehicle. One specific area will be dealt with here. You will note that on Nowthen Blvd., Sunfish Lake Blvd., and Ramsey Blvd., there are large, visible signs which prohibit driving on the shoulders of those highways (bicycles are permitted, however). The shoulder is that paved portion of the highway to the right of the solid white line, except where there are marked right turn lane signs. Where there are marked and signed right turn lanes, you can drive into those lanes only for the purpose of making a right turn. You cannot pass using the area to the right of the aforementioned shoulder line. But for too many drivers, the instant they see the left turn signal of the vehicle ahead come on, they main- tain their 50 or 55 m.p.h. (or higher) and instantly wrench over to the right to pass the turning vehicle, thereby saving 10 seconds of time, a micromeasure- ment of brake pad, and perhaps a thimble full of gasoline. Never mind that a pedestrian or bicyclist may be using the paved shoulder and is screened from the view of the passer by the left turning car! Bicyclists and pedestrians use these paved shoulders and do so expecting a degree of safety. DON'T DRIVE ON THE PAVED SHOULDERS! Shortly after this reminder is published, we are go- ing to start tagging for this violation. LAW CHANGES NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR CITY MEETINGS Effective August 1, cities must comply with new notice requirements for meetings. Cities should fill out and keep a schedule at their main city offices of their regularly scheduled council, planning com- mission, park board, or other commission or board meetings. Special meetings must be preceded by three-day posted notice as well as three-day mailed notice to any person requesting particular notice of special meeting. As an alternative to posted and mailed notice for special meetings, cities may pro- vide three-day published notice of their special meeting. Emergency meetings may be called on less than three days notice for any matter which, in the judg- ment of the public body, requires immediate con- sideration. The only requirement for calling emergency meetings is to make good faith efforts to provide notice to any news medium (newspapers, radio, television, etc.) that has requested notification. No posting or publication is necessary. A WORD FROM YOUR TREE INSPECTOR GYPSY MOTHS KEPT UNDER CONTROL IN MINNESOT A: Last month I received a call from a Ramsey resident asking about a cardboard trap fixed to a tree in his yard. It was a trap for Gypsy Moths. The Minnesota Department Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources are cooperating on a Gypsy Moth detec- tion, trapping and eradication program. In the eastern United States, 2.4 million acres were defoliated last year by the Gypsy Moth larva (cater- pillar) feeding on leaves. The creature prefers oak, basswood and birch leaves but also attacks pine, spruce and other softwoods. The egg-masses of these insects can hitchhike here on things that are used or stored outdoors like lawn furniture, trailers, etc. that belong to people moving here from the eastern U.S. Since the late 1970's, over 7,000 traps per year have been placed in the 7 county metro area. This year 302 adult moths were taken from these traps. All but 3 were taken from an area near an Anoka County household that had moved here from Pennsylvania several years ago. Gypsy moth caterpillars hatch in May and can be recognized by the five pair of raised blue spots and six pair of red spots on their back. The caterpillars feed only at night until they are almost ready to pupate, and then they feed 24 hours a day. Adult moths emerge from that pupal stage 10-14 days later. The males are brown and black and strong fliers; they are attracted to the cream-colored females that are too heavy to fly. Soon after mating, the female deposits 75-750 eggs in a single cluster and then dies. Don Willeke, Chairman of the State Shade Tree Ad- visory Committee, points to this small but effective program which has cost the State about $300,000 over the last four years. "The environmental disaster that is being prevented, and the millions of dollars that are being saved for both the state and private landowners, justifies the cost."

CABLE TV NEWS On October 1, North Central Cable TV will begin installing the new ANI Telephone Answering System. One of the features of this system is "call-routing". This feature allows the customer to route his call, via the touch tone keypad, to the proper department. For example, once you reach North Central with the 483-9999 number a recorded message will tell you which number to press to route your call for a pay-per-view, or a disconnect, or a service complaint, or a question about your bill. Customers are being put "on-hold" for a long time and this is a concern of the Cable Company. Hopefully, the situation will be corrected in the near future. The Quad-Cities Cable TV Commission meets on the third Thursday of the month, 5 P.M., at the Anoka City Hall. Concerns or complaints about Cable TV may be addressed to Terry O'Connell at 421-6630.
