<br />No. 99 June -July 1976
<br />Read on for news of a new Arden Hills Ordinance affecting park gatherings: in recent years
<br />police have been called to check on disturbances in public parks in the Village, and in a
<br />couple of cases were greeted by flying beer cans. Consequently the Council recently passed
<br />Ordinance #193 (not unanimously), effective June 10, 1976, prohibiting use of alcoholic and
<br />intoxicating beverages in all public parks within Arden Hills. This means no spiked iced.
<br />tea at -family picnics, nor can victors and losers in the neighborhood ballgames commemorate
<br />on location with a sad or happy beer. Obviously it also means fewer problems for the Police
<br />Department.as well as residents due to "drinking parties" - which have increased since Min-
<br />neapolis and St. Paul passed similar ordinances prohibiting drinking in their parks. With
<br />Mpls.-St. Paul parks off-limits, drinking gangs have moved to suburban area parks, and be-
<br />cause of this, police feel, our own parks are used less for family gatherings and more for
<br />large and roving drinking groups. Council's split vote on this Ordinance sums up general
<br />mixed feelings. Pertinent to this.the Parks & Rec. Committee requested Council to run a
<br />study of organizations using parks within the Village regarding their reaction to the Ord-
<br />inance and has asked the Town Crier to advise residents and solicit your comments. Express
<br />your views to your Councilmen, or call the Village Hall or Parks & Rec. Director, John Buck-
<br />ley. (Village Hall Phone Number: 633-5676.)
<br />Plans for the proposed development of -Arden Hills' Floral Park and Hazelnut Park accompany
<br />this newsletter. Residents are encouraged to participate in their park's development by
<br />sharing their ideas or suggestions at the Park and Rec. Comm. Meeting Tuesday, July 13,
<br />8:00 P.M., Village Hall.
<br />Don't wait until Election Day to register to vote. September 14 is the State Primary.
<br />Deadline for pre -registration for this is August 24, and Village Hall officials recommend
<br />not waiting until the last minute. Registration forms can be obtained by calling the Vil-
<br />lage Hall; forms will then be mailed. if you prefer to register in person, the Village Hall

<br />From the Planning Commission..... Under discussion: Preliminary Plat approval for "Karth
<br />Lake Hills", proposed 21 -residential lot development located along east side of Karth Lake,

<br />Let's hope the Arden Hills' Memorial Day Parade (also
<br />commemorating our twenty-fifth birthday and the Bicenten-
<br />nial year) sponsored by the Arden Hills Community Service
<br />Organization will become an annual event! Although skies
<br />were cloudy that morning, co -chairwomen Joan Grey and Ros-
<br />ie Lemke put together a celebration that spread sunshine
<br />O
<br />along the route from Lake Johanna Elementary School to
<br />W
<br />Lake Johanna beach. There were fire engines, antique cars,
<br />a "covered wagon", clowns, the pom-pom and Band-Aid Girls
<br />C �
<br />from Presbyterian Homes (and their King and Queen resplen-
<br />dent with crowns and scepters). Ronald McDonald was there;
<br />RArden
<br />Hills Mayor and Councilmen smiled and waved their
<br />skimmer straw hats, looking around all the time for babies
<br />I
<br />to kiss.... See the photographs on the inside of the Crier_,
<br />thanks to photographers Terry Meury, Rose Lemke, Joe Bender
<br />and your Sec./Ed. (If you see something you'd like a copy
<br />E
<br />of contact Jan Hollenhorst, 633-1822). ,There were some
<br />•
<br />picnic-ers after the parade at Tony Schmidt Park, but not
<br />•
<br />enough. Maybe in future years The Annual Parade (are you
<br />and your committee, Rosie and Joan, up to planning another
<br />one?) will be followed by a Community -wide Annual Picnic..
