<br />LANDFILL COMMISSION
<br />BEING FORMED
<br />
<br />The City Council has created a nine member
<br />Landfill Commission to advise the Council on issues
<br />and concerns regarding sanitary landfilling. These
<br />issues may include: future uses of the existing land-
<br />fill; closure of the existing landfill; the status of Site
<br />"P"; the buffer area surrounding the landfill and in-
<br />dustrial development; legislation regarding landfill-
<br />ing; environmental monitoring; etc.
<br />Commission members will be appointed by the Ci-
<br />ty Council. The City is now seeking candidates to
<br />fill nine positions on this Commission. There are
<br />three three-year terms, three two-year terms and
<br />three one-year terms to be filled. Once the Commis-
<br />sion is established, all successors to these positions
<br />will be appointed to three year terms.
<br />The Commission will met at least once each
<br />month. If you are interested in serving on the Land-
<br />fill Commission, please submit your letter of applica-
<br />tion to the City of Ramsey, 15153 Nowthen Blvd.

<br />perience, education, and any experience in

<br />ment of your reason(s) for seeking appointment to
<br />the Landfill Commission.
<br />
<br />CABLE TV
<br />
<br />The North Central Cable Communications Com-
<br />pany has re-aligned the cable TV channels in an ef-
<br />fort to bring the more popular cable services near
<br />the network broadcast signals (ABC, NBC, CBS).
<br />Re-alignment is a nation-wide trend among cable
<br />companies used to better market their product.
<br />TV Viewers tend to congregate around the net-
<br />work broadcast channels for nightly news, sporting
<br />events, daytime dramas, etc., and now the popular
<br />cable services will recieve more exposure.
<br />No cable services were dropped. Two services
<br />have been added:
<br />1) QVC - channel 19 - The Quality, Value, Conve-
<br />nience Network offers you the opportunity to pur-
<br />chase merchandise without leaving your home.
<br />2) SIN - channel 47 - The Spanish International
<br />Network.
<br />This channel re-alignment is now standard in all
<br />of the northern suburbs from Anoka to Maplewood
<br />and in the cities of BlIrnsville and Egan.
<br />Live coverage of the U.S. House of Represen-
<br />tatives in now on C-Span, channel 24.
<br />Live coverage of the U.S. Senate is now on C-
<br />Span II, channel 25.
<br />Excellent children's programming is found on
<br />Nickelodeon (channel 32) and the Discovery Chan-
<br />nel (channel 28).
<br />College basketball and NHL Hockey can be found
<br />on ESPN (channel 6) and USA Network (channel 13).
<br />Music videos can be found on Video Hits-1 (chan-
<br />nel 26), MTV (channel 7), the Nashville Network
<br />(channel 20), and Country Music TV (channel 27).
<br />Twenty-four hour weather is broadcast on chan-
<br />nels 15 and 16.
<br />Twenty-four hour news is available on Cable Net-
<br />work News (channel 1 0), CNN Headline News (chan-
<br />nel 14), and the Financial News Network (channel
<br />22).
<br />Additional cable services include Pay Per View
<br />shows of major sporting events and the premium
<br />movie channels available at an additional cost.
<br />Cable Commission meetings are open to the
<br />public and are held on the third Thursday of the
<br />month, 5 P.M., at the Anoka City Hall.
<br />The phone number for Cable TV customer service
<br />is 483-9999.

<br />A WORD FROM YOUR
<br />TREE INSPECTOR
<br />
<br />Do you love trees? Do you value plants? Have you
<br />thought of a tree as a family member? Trees grow
<br />as slowly or more slowly than humans. A large tree
<br />in a city means that people have lived their lives
<br />around it. A local White Oak commonly may span
<br />10 human generations, making it a great, great,
<br />great... tree.
<br />Trees and plants can be indicators of environmen-
<br />tal health. At your home you can see the variations
<br />in tree and plant growth that results from soil fertili-
<br />ty, seasonal water changes, buried septic systems,
<br />road salt runoff, etc. However, the effects of acid rain
<br />on tree and plant life are more subtle. The remedy
<br />may be costly, but maybe not when you take into
<br />consideration the hidden environmental and social
<br />costs that would be passed along to the children we
<br />love without a healthy environment.
<br />Two years ago in April, a Ramsey roadside
<br />firewood pile survey tallied an estimated 1000 cords
<br />of firewood -- remember, this survey was taken at
<br />the end of the peak woodburning season. This BTU
<br />energy end use is an indication that trees have a
<br />money value as well as an aesthetic value.
<br />As you muse on nature, give some thought to what
<br />it is and where it goes. I invite you to consider a tree
<br />as a form of long-range planning as well as a trust
<br />for the future; something to replace and enhance as
<br />well as to use.
<br />Thank-you for your cooperation with the Tree In-
<br />spector/Fire Warden in 1986. Bruce Bacon
<br />(753-5099).

<br />ANOKA AREA
<br />HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
<br />
<br />The Anoka Area Hockey Association (AAHA)
<br />would like to thank all of those who purchased
<br />wreaths and poinsettias this year. There was a great
<br />response to the fund raiser and the City of Ramsey
<br />allowed use of their City garage area as a wreath
<br />and poinsettia pick-up location which resulted in a
<br />very orderly operation.
<br />The Hockey Association is planned to hold it's An-
<br />nual Meeting this year at 7:00 p.m. on February 2nd
<br />at the St. Stephen's School gymnasium. The Annual
<br />Meeting is an opportunity for all members of both
<br />the Hockey Association and the Arena Association
<br />to voice their opinions on matters that are affecting
<br />the operation of the associations. There are open-
<br />ings on both the Hockey Association Board and the
<br />Arena Association Board for new directors. If you are
<br />interested, contact Dennis Sauer, President of MHA
<br />or Jon Kjelstad of MIA. We hope all members of
<br />the community who have an interest in these pro-
<br />grams will attend this very special meeting.
<br />The Hockey Association held it's annual pizza sale
<br />from January 9th to the 21 st. Top selling individuals
<br />were awarded gift certificates.
<br />The Minneapolis Star and Tribune published an
<br />article on the wildlife prints available through the
<br />Anoka Hockey Association. You may purchase a
<br />limited edition numbered print through any associa-
<br />tion member or by contacting Robin Carroll at
<br />421-1047. There will be a different print each year
<br />for 5 years. The artist is Jim Meager and the prints
<br />will also be signed by Herb Brooks.
<br />The Association would also like to take this oppor-
<br />tunity to thank all of those who made donations to
<br />help our Maroon PeeWees and Maroon Bantams at-
<br />tend the International Silverstick Tournament in Port
<br />Huron, Michigan. Although the cost of such a trip
<br />is great, the recognition and experience these
<br />players received will last a lifetime!!!
