8 SWCD FILING OPEN IN DISTRICT II Worried about wetland legislation? Concerned abOut the water quality in Anoka County? You CAN make a difference by filing before September 8 to run as a Soil and Water Conservation District (S WCD) supervisor in the November election. Running for SWCD supervisor is an excellent way to make an impact on our natural resources. Although the supervisors are nominated from different nominating areas within each SWCD, they are elected at-large, meaning that every eligible voter in the district may vote for all open supervisor positions. Because the supervisors serve staggered six-year terms, each district has one or more positions open. Anoka SWCD has one opening in District II serving Ramsey, Andover, and the City of Anoka. Supervisors meet monthly to discuss the business of the SWCD, including state grant allocations to landowners, district conservation priorities, coordination with state agencies and other local units of government, and personnel issues. In addition, supervisors are community leaders in resource management, providing guidance and information to their friends and neighbors. Supervisors do not receive a regular salary, although they do receive compensation for attending meetings and functions and are reimbursed for expenses. For further information, contact the Anoka Conservation District at (612) 757-4221. WOMEN OF TODAY COMING TO RAMSEY The Women of Today are a community, service and leadership training organization.

FREE FERTILIZER NO WAITING When you bag your grass clippings all summer, you rob your lawn of as much as one pound of valuable nitrogen for every 1,000 square feet. Save the cost of extra fertilizer by leaving those clippings on the lawn instead. For other helpful information, call the Metro Recycling Hot Line at The Conncction,@ 922-9000. RAMSEY SENIOR NEWS The County Fair is a thing of the past and the summer gardens are past their peak. Most of the flowers are still beautiful, but summer is definitely on the wane. How can that be? Seems that spring was just yesterday. Our first meeting of the fall season is on September 7, and we are really privileged to have Jan Bruder from Minneapolis who lived in Scotland for almost a year. She will demonstrate how to play the Chanter, an instrument usually learned before playing the bagpipe. Also she will dress authentically and show some slides. She is a very interesting lady. Do plan to come. Visitors are always welcome. See you then. Bertha Mae Johnston, President 421-3732 CITY OF RAMSEY: r Ramsey Resident Ramsey Municipal Center 15153 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Ramsey,.
