'-. .....~:~~ Winter is coming. . .I'm sorry to say and with winter comes snow plowing. Please, please remember to keep your cars and garbage cans off the streets and right-of-ways so the plows can clean the streets. Weare asking that you keep the garbage cans at least three feet from the edge of the road way to avoid the plow hitting them. It takes time to plow around cars and garbage cans and the speed at which your street may be plowed may depend entirely upon how many obstructions they have had to encounter. The Ramsey Street Department thanks you for your coiltinued cooperation. CITY OF RAMSEY ELECTION RESULTS. The response from the residents of Ramsey were simply fantastic.

Remember December 15, 1980 at 7:00 p.m. -- Our First Annual Meeting. HOUSE NUMBERS Imagine you are home alone and your child starts choking or quits breathing. What would you do? Call the police, ambulance? Sure. But then your child starts turning blue and you get scared. Where are the police? What's taking them so long? This type of medical emergency may not happen to you, but if it did ask yourself one question--Do I have my house numbers on and are they visable from the street? The above incident did actually happen and the police were delayed by searching the area for a house number. Out of five houses on the block, only one had house numbers that were clearly visible from the street. The outcome had a happy ending, the child started breathing on his own before the police arrived. But, if the child had not started breating again, it might have been fatal. The brain can die in four to six minutes without oxygen. We urge all residents to place house numbers on their house so they are clearly visible from the street. Have the numbers at least 6" tall and of a reflectorized material preferably not on the garage door as they cannot be seen when the door is up. We also urge residents to place the numbers on the house even though they have them on their mailbox. Sometimes the numbers are hard to read on a mailb~x, expecially if there are two or more In a row. The Ramsey City Ordinance request house numbers on all residences, but we realize there may be circumstances when you don't have the numbers on for a good reason, such as painting or remodeling. 6 The Ramsey Police Department has been conducting an ongoing Burglary Seminar program for the benefit of the citizens of Ramsey. However, the response has been poor. We are willing to help all residents make their home a more secure and safe place to live. We conduct informal seminars which show residents how a burglary is committed and what they can do to thwart such an attempt. We also promote Operation ID, which is a program whereby residents mark their property with a number so that the items can be easily traced by law enforcement agencies anywhere in the country. There is an organization that has come into Minnesota that sells this service to the public. We urge people to use Operation ID, which is free and offered by the Police Department. We provide information on burglar alarms, locks, and other hardware to secure your house. These seminars are conducted at the Ramsey Municipal Center, or if you choose, right in your neighborhood. These seminars are free and a public service of the Ramsey Police Department. Take a look around your house and you will realize what you have to loose if a burglar gets in. Burglars are not fussy about what they take but are specially interested in audio equipment, tools, cash, jewelry, guns. and TV's. Let us help you "Cure the Common Burglary." BURGLARY SEMINARS
