<br />A WORD FROM YOUR
<br />TREE INSPECTOR
<br />
<br />HUNTING IN RAMSEY
<br />
<br />City ordinance addresses hunting in City of
<br />Ramsey with firearms and bow and arrow.
<br />The following rules apply to firearm hunting:
<br />1. You must have written permission from the
<br />owner of the property on which you intend to
<br />hunt.
<br />2. The area in which you are hunting must be
<br />1500 feet from any residence or other
<br />structure.
<br />3. The only type of firearm allowed is a shotgun
<br />with no larger than size 4 shot.
<br />The following rules apply to bow and arrow
<br />hunting:
<br />1. You must be 300 yards from any residential
<br />structure, commercial structure, park or
<br />playground and 150 yards from any trunk
<br />highway.
<br />2. Applicants must apply for a bow and arrow hun-
<br />ting permit at the Ramsey Police Department.
<br />3. You must have written permission from the
<br />owner of the property on which you intend to
<br />hunt.
<br />4. Ramsey bow and arrow hunting permits are
<br />issued for the annual season only.
<br />
<br />The leaves are changing to their Fall colors and
<br />will soon fall from the trees. Will you remember which
<br />trees have wilted or which branches you want to
<br />remove? It's a good practice to paint mark the trees
<br />now for removal to remind you of your task, or to
<br />mark the branches you wish to prune during the
<br />coming cold season. Also, it's an ideal time for plan-
<br />ting and transplanting.
<br />The 1986 diseased tree survey map is posted at
<br />Ramsey City Hall. Check it out to see the scope of
<br />the progress of the Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease
<br />in your neighborhood.
<br />Ramsey's Tree Inspector, Bruce Bacon, is
<br />available for questions on tree maintenance, shap-
<br />ing and diversification of species in your landscape
<br />planning. Mr. Bacon can also advise you on disease
<br />control and soil building. Mr. Bacon can be reached
<br />by calling 753-5099.

<br />tain assignments.
<br />The Economic Development Commission will be
<br />completing these assignments including:
<br />. drafting a five year plan and strategy for
<br />economic development in Ramsey;
<br />. completing a one year work plan and strategy
<br />for economic development in Ramsey;
<br />. completing a labor survey of Ramsey;
<br />. making a five year capital improvement plan;
<br />and
<br />. developing and maintaining an annual survey
<br />of Ramsey businesses.
<br />In addition, the Commission is working on a video
<br />tape of the community and has prepared a promo-
<br />tional brochure on the City. The Commission hopes
<br />to complete all the tasks within 18 months.

<br />A WORD FROM YOUR
<br />
<br />POLICE CHIEF
<br />
<br />MINNESOTA CRIMEWATCH
<br />
<br />Is there anybody out there who would be in-
<br />terested in attending an evening devoted to talking
<br />about helping to prevent criminal activities such as
<br />larceny, burglary and vandalism?
<br />I realize that we are in a fierce competition about
<br />this time of year with all kinds and varieties of ac-
<br />tivities including but not limited to: after school and
<br />evening functions, hockey, football, soccer, return
<br />of Dynasty, Knot's Landing, hunting, late walleye
<br />fishing, etc. However, unfortunately this is also about
<br />the time that the daytime burglars sleaze their way
<br />out of the woodwork because they know the kids are
<br />in school and most likely nobody is home until at
<br />least 2:00 or so. Also, the outboard motor thieves
<br />are switching over to their fall catalogs and are busy
<br />stealing snowmobiles and meeting the demand via
<br />their friendly fences and otherwise good citizens who
<br />can't pass up a good deal, thereby creating a market
<br />for the thieves. Car prowls are popular lately also and
<br />the perpetrators quickly break out a window and grab
<br />contents lying around inside such as nice winter
<br />coats, hunting equipment, tape decks and tapes,
<br />Radar Detectors (I can't seem to get overly excited
<br />about those! Biased, I guess) and other items of
<br />value.
<br />We will be more than willing to host a meeting(s)
<br />to discuss ways to help keep your home a little more
<br />secure and how to report activity that seems
<br />suspicious and, moreover, how to recognize
<br />suspicious activity in the first place. We will tell you
<br />how to place a call for police assistance and when
<br />to call. (I believe some people think that when we
<br />answer a false alarm call, such as a cat stomping
<br />it's feet in a garbage can or a couple getting to know
<br />each other better in a parked car, we laugh our fool
<br />heads off or get angry when we are out of the com-
<br />plainant's view. No so! We would rather be called
<br />out for something like that than not called when the
<br />noise may have come from a sleaze doing his work!)
<br />Anyway, these are the things we would discuss
<br />along with some slides about crime prevention. We
<br />will also furnish coffee and, if I can get away with
<br />it, some cookies.
<br />If any of our readers are interested in something
<br />such as this, please call. .. 427-1410 ... and ask
<br />for ARLENE or MIKE and let them or anybody else
<br />who answers in their absence, know you are in-
<br />terested. If we get enough interested, we will set up
<br />a date for a general meeting which will be announc-
<br />ed in this newsletter. Or, maybe if you have a group
<br />of your own (preferably 10 couples or more) we can
<br />arrange a special meeting; your place or ours, it
<br />doesn't matter. Please call!
<br />
<br />CENTRAL PARK SOCCER
<br />NETS STOLEN
<br />
<br />If any of you parents should happen to wonder why
<br />your child has this gigantic orange/red net strung up
<br />inside his or her room and you are told they got it
<br />in trade for a pet frog or something, please don't
<br />believe it. It is likely one of the two soccer nets taken
<br />from the frames at Central Park about 3 weeks ago.
<br />It seems that no sooner does a community attempt
<br />to do something to help it's citizens enjoy a higher
<br />quality of life than someone comes along to spoil it!
<br />I know this may be futile but I'll ask anyway; would
<br />the person(s) who took the nets, if you read this,
<br />please return them in one way or another to the city
<br />so that the kids can get going with their soccer pro-
<br />gram. Unless the nets are being used to net Cod or
<br />Tuna, I can't imagine any other use for them other
<br />than maybe a room decoration. Another, probably
<br />equally futile request is to ask anyone who knows
<br />where the nets may be and/or who took them to call
<br />the City Hall, 427-1410 or Anoka County Central
<br />Communications after 5:00 p.m. at 427-1212. I
<br />realize this may be considered "ratting" or "narc-
<br />ing" but what the heck, dare to be different! Please,
<br />be a citizen and help the community. Thank you.

<br />VIDEO OF RAMSEY
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Economic Development Commission
<br />is preparing a promotional video tape of the City of
<br />Ramsey. The tape will be used to represent and
<br />market the City and will include information on the
<br />community such as civic organizations, parks and
<br />recreation, employment, education, health care,
<br />transportation, etc. The tape will be available to
<br />realtors, schools, civic organizations, etc.
<br />The Commission invites suggestions from
<br />residents and local organizations regarding the con-
<br />tents of this tape. Please call Anne Norris or Sylvia
<br />Frolik at 427-1410 with your suggestions.
<br />Funds from the Anoka County Community
<br />Development Block Grant program are being used
<br />to pay for the production of this tape.
