<br />Cable TV Franchise
<br />Transferred
<br />
<br />The North Central Communications Co. has re-
<br />quested approval for the transfer of ownership of the
<br />Quad Cities cable system from Group W. If this re-
<br />quest is approved, what will it mean to the citizens
<br />of Ramsey? Here are the answers to some of the
<br />questions being asked.
<br />1. Why is Group W selling our cable system?
<br />Westinghouse is divesting itself of all cable
<br />systems nationwide. In addition to our system North
<br />Central is seeking ownership of other cable systems
<br />which include Group W holdings in Burnsville, Col-
<br />umbia Heights/Hilltop, Ramsey/Washington coun-
<br />ties, and the North Central Suburbs system (Blaine,
<br />Coon Rapids, Mounds View, and New Brighton).
<br />2. Will this request for transfer of ownership be
<br />any expense to the city of Ramsey?
<br />No. Article XII Para. G of our cable franchise states
<br />"...Grantee shall pay all costs incurred by the city
<br />in any inquiry into the qualifications of the prospec-
<br />tive controlling party".
<br />3. Will my cable rates increase if the transfer of
<br />ownership is approved?
<br />In accordance with the Cable Communications Act
<br />cities cannot regulate rates charged by cable com-
<br />panies after Dec. 29, 1986.
<br />4. What experience does the potential new
<br />owner have with cable systems?
<br />While North Central Communications Co. would
<br />own our cable system it would be managed by
<br />Hauser Communications Co. Hauser Communica-
<br />tions now manages the cable systems in the cities
<br />of Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, Golden
<br />Valley, Maple Grove, Plymouth and Osseo. Addi-
<br />tionally, Hauser Communications manages the cable
<br />system in the city of Arlington, Va. This system has
<br />39,000 customers out of 80,000 homes passed. This
<br />is a 48 per cent penetration versus 31 per cent for
<br />the Quad Cities.
<br />The next monthly meeting of the Quad Cities
<br />Cable Commission is scheduled for May 15 at 5 PM
<br />in the Anoka city hall.

<br />
<br />RAMSEY SCHOOL 4TH
<br />GRADERS ACHIEVE FIRST
<br />PLACE IN ODYSSEY OF THE
<br />MIND COMPETITION
<br />
<br />Ten teams from elementary schools throughout
<br />Anoka-Hennepin School District No. 11 won 11
<br />awards in the second statewide Odyssey of the Mind
<br />Competition held March 8 at North Hennepin
<br />Technical Center, Osseo. Three Anoka-Hennepin
<br />teams, (Ramsey, Sorteberg and L.O. Jacob), earn-
<br />ed the right to compete in the International Odyssey
<br />of the Mind later this year in Flagstaff, Arizona, when
<br />they took first place honors.
<br />Odyssey of the Mind is a scientifically based
<br />problem-solving competition designed for highly
<br />creative students. Teams of seven students compete
<br />in two events, spontaneous and long-term.
<br />The spontaneous event involves a brainstorming
<br />activity in which students receive points for the
<br />number of answers they give and the creativity of
<br />the answers. If asked to name as many "birds" as
<br />possible, for example, students would get one point
<br />for responses such as bluebird and robin, but three
<br />points for more creative answers like "Lady Bird"
<br />Johnson.
<br />Teams have a choice of several long-term pro-
<br />blems, the solutions to which are presented in a
<br />theatrical format to the judges the day of the com-
<br />petition after weeks of preparation. In the
<br />"Technocrats" problem, for example, students had
<br />to invent a product and an assembly line method for
<br />putting it together and packaging it. The day of the
<br />competion they set up their assembly line, made and
<br />packaged the product in front of the judges.
<br />Ramsey School fourth graders won first place in
<br />"Technocrats" Division for their production of a
<br />"Creepy Creatures Kit."
<br />
<br />
<br />Ramsey School's team won first place in "Technocrats" Division I at the
<br />state Odyssey of the Mind competition. Team members are, from left, Aaron
<br />Stritesky, Desiree Tolbert, Andrew Krizaj, Amanda Monson, Brian Beau-
<br />bien, Craig Olson and Joshua Ahlquist. Coach is teacher Patty Hill.
