<br />JAYCEE'S TO CONDUCT
<br />
<br />ANNUAL CAR MAINTENANCE
<br />
<br />FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Jaycee's are inviting all Ramsey
<br />senior citizens to receive a FREE oil change and
<br />filter on June 21,1986 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Tex-
<br />aco has supplied the motor oil and filters; the
<br />Jaycee's will supply the labor.
<br />Any senior citizens desiring to take advantage of
<br />the offer should call 427-0435 to make an appoint-
<br />ment. Appointments will be taken until June 19,
<br />1986.
<br />Anyone interested in joining the Ramsey Jaycee's
<br />should contact Karen Bush at 421-3562.
<br />
<br />SUMMER, BIKES, AND
<br />
<br />4-H GO TOGETHER!
<br />
<br />These warm days bring bicyclists out, eager for
<br />exercise and looking to enjoy the warm weather.
<br />Sometimes this pleasure can turn into despair
<br />because of bicycle thefts, which total $1.5 million
<br />every year in Minnesota.
<br />Proper registration of your bike can make the dif-
<br />ference in having it returned. If lost or stolen bikes
<br />are registered, they can be returned to their owners
<br />when recovered - even if you lose your registration
<br />number. Also, thieves are less willing to steal a bicy-
<br />cle displaying a registration sticker since it can be
<br />more easily identified.
<br />The Anoka County 4-H program is working to pro-
<br />vide youth with a variety of opportunities to learn
<br />more about their bikes, bike safety, and how to
<br />register their bikes. One of the events they are
<br />holding, in cooperation with the Greater Minneapolis
<br />Girl Scout Council, is a family bike day on June 14
<br />at the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park. According
<br />to County 4-H Agent Robin Bednarz, this day will
<br />combine fun and learning through a variety of
<br />teaching stations. Some of the topics include a bike
<br />rodeo, fitting your bike, and bike repairs. There will
<br />also be a time for family picnics and a ride on the
<br />Corridor Trail. You will also be able to register your
<br />bicycle at $6.00 for a three year period, which will
<br />be valid anywhere in Minnesota.
<br />If your family is interested in attending, call Robin
<br />Bednarz at the Anoka County Extension office at
<br />755-1280. These are lots of exciting areas of interest
<br />the 4-H youth program would be glad to tell you
<br />about.

<br />RAMSEY LIONS CLUB
<br />
<br />The Ramsey Lions Club has had another busy two

<br />ments at their bi-monthly meetings and participated
<br />in the monthly government food commodities to be
<br />distributed to our less fortunate neighbors. The lions
<br />welcome new members at any time and provide an
<br />opportunity for you, the Ramsey residents, a chance

<br />munity and humanitarian projects. The Ramsey
<br />Lions Club is a member of the world's largest and
<br />most active service club organization seeking out
<br />and helping the needy in Ramsey, the country, and

<br />your community for fourteen years as of this date.

<br />REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST
<br />
<br />In the fall of 1849, John R. Bean and John Simpson established a camp on the island called Cloutier's
<br />island in the Mississippi opposite the present City of Ramsey, for the purpose of trading with the Winnebago
<br />Indians. They carried on a successful trade and the next spring built a log house on the mainland near the
<br />river upon what was later the farm of C.G. Richardson.
<br />Thomas A. Holmes and James Beatty visited the trading post on the island, observed a thriving business,
<br />and determined to secure a share of the trade. They built a log house the same fall (1849) on Section 19,
<br />(later the Warneke farm) and put in a stock of goods for trading with the Winnebagoes.
<br />The Winnebagoes were an offshoot of the Sioux tribe. In order to avoid getting caught up in conflict bet-
<br />we~~ the Sioux and Chippeways, the Winnebago~s transferred a large number of their families from Long
<br />Prairie to Itasca (~amsey). There they dug deep pits and threw breastworks on a piece of ground covering
<br />several acres, whIch would later become the farm of Charles E. Bowers and later, the Reinhard Pearson
<br />farm. These pits were circular and used principally as shelter for squaws and papooses. The spot was on
<br />a steep bank of the Mississippi and commanded a view of the river from both directions. The earth works
<br />were plainly visible for years after. The trouble was finally settled and no battle took place.
<br />The old log cabin built for a trading post was later moved to Section 31, Burns township. Holmes and Beat-
<br />ty were later succeeded by other traders, Isaac Marks and David Fuller.
