are the 12th, 19th and 26th, and again, it is best to telephone the Village Hall the day''of the meeting to learn what items are on the agenda. ......PUBLIC NOTICE: Minnesota's Department of Agriculture, in its rules and regulations relating to the control of dutch elm disease and oak wilt, state that all public and private properties be annually inspected prior to April 15 for elm wood or logs that could serve as bark beetle breeding sites. A city tree inspector will be inspecting woodpiles throughout the Village to comply with these regulations. Should disease be present, property own- ers will be advised and will have 20 days after notification to remove or de -bark wood to be retained. Elm wood or logs not removed within 20 days shall be removed by the municipality and the cost shall be assessed against the property. ****'*The Human Rights Commission invited an Arden Hills Police officer to a recent meeting to discuss crime prevention and property protection. The officer reported one of the most effective burglary deterrents is "Operation Identification" and encouraged its wider use. Apparently not enough homes in the Village utilize this means of protection. The Police Department praises its value and urges more residents to contact the Village Hall for information, and instructions on how to become "identified". The Police Department will also keep an eye on your property during vacation absences. Call the Arden Hills Police Department at 633-6711 weekdays be- tween 8:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. advising them of your schedule. They will then pay special attention to your property on their daily rounds. Police also recommend leaving a key to your home with a neighbor. (Let the Police know who this neighbor is.) The Officer also suggested not closing drapes all though the house when you are gone as it implies an empty house - a potential scene for burglary or mischief. Perhaps your neighbor with the key would re -arrange your drapes occasionally. (Thereby saving the carpeting and furniture and plants from crisping in the sun') Having inside lights on timers is highly recommended - ditto for outside yard lights if possible...... Darkness invites trouble.... And even when you are at home, please, warn the police, do not tempt passers- by with an open garage door displaying your collection of bikes, skis, snow - blowers, lawn mowers, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * ' Arden Hills property owners are eligible for flood insura-ce under federally subsidized rates.
