~ MOTORCYCLE CONCERNS Due to the steadily increasing number, of complaints from citizens concerning the operation of motorcycles, minibikes, all-terrain vehicles, etc. in the ditches and along the shoulders of the roads in the city, it will be necessary to increase enforcement of Minnesota Statute 169.18, Subdivision 1 which allows vehicle traffic only on the right hand portion of the roadway. The roadway is defined as that portion of the highway normally used for vehicular traffic. In other words, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle along the shoulder of the highway or anywhere from the road edge to the outer limits of the right-of-way. Vehicles being operated in violation of this statute will be stopped and the operator tagged. If circum- stances warrant it, the vehicle will be towed from the scene and taken to a police impound lot. Attention has been called to this illegal operation of motor vehicles by careless, loud and unreasonable operation of drivers who apparently have no respect for life or property, even after repeated pleas by the police and general citizenry for moderation. One does not have to drive very far in the City of Ramsey to observe the damage and erosion to streets and driveways. This damage, coupled with the complaints of noise caused by unmuffled or inadequa tely muffled machines, has led to this notice. Mike Auspos, Chief . Ramsey Police OLD RAMSEY SCHOOL Historical Site ~.'~~ tJil~;r. >.. -~~ --.J ~ .=-:~ The Anoka County Historical Society received custody and supervision of the site known as Ramsey School (District #28) on March 7, 1978. Because of the interest of club members, North Star Federated Womans Club has agreed to support the Historical Society in restoring the site to a living museum. In April, 1978, North Star Feder~ted Womans Club presented the Ra.msey School Committee with a $300 contribution to begin their support. In May, 1978, North Star began interviewing former students of Ramsey School. The Club is currently reading micro-filmed newspapers 'of Anoka County looking for leads and evidence regarding Ramsey School. In November of 1978, North Star staged its annual luncheon and style show. $350, the proceeds from "Kloset Keepsakes", a review of styles from the past' ten decades, went to funding the restoration. It is an exciting project of which you may be a part. Do you have old pictures, school papers or other memorabelia pertaining to Ramsey School? If so, please contact the Anoka County Historical Socity at 421-0600, Maxine Larson at 424-6750, or Bonnie Anderson, North Star project chairman at 421-3265.
