n Published by the Arden Association <do. 108 June 1977 e t 11 II Did anyone notice (or care) that 4 out of the 5 candidates running; for the Mounds View School board were involved in education one way or another in their regular line of work? It seems to me that we already have enough educators in the District Service Center and need people with some broader experience on the School Board. Let's have some more candidates that know something about finance and about what's important in the real work -world outside of the classroom. Roseville did a lot better than Mounds View in this respect. None of their 5 candidates was an educator, although I can't say that their district is much better off than Mounds View because of it. The closed gas station on County Road D and Cleveland is causing a lot of interest. One enterprising soul set up a flower stand there with no one's approval and had to be asked to leave. Several legitimate businesses are eyeing the corner, but there have been no decisions yet. The place is zoned commercial. Well, the Planning Commission meeting on June 7th sounds like a swinging affair: Three interesting public hearings will be coming up at that time. The Town Crier Pancake House (no relation) that wants to build across the street to the north from the Blue Fox will be heard, as will the Minnesota Baptist Conferenoe, located by the AH library. The Baptist Conference wants to build an addition, and since this means changing their Special Use Permit plans, they need to go through another hearing. The funniest one though is the public hearing for a special use permit for Ramsey Further note on trees--- Mark Peterson, Arden Hills Inspector, has been busy hunting out diseased 'Tree woodpiles in the city and has found quite a few. He and I both appreciated the letter received from O Peter Morris, Jr., on Arden View Court concerning ' Dutch Elm disease. It's most rewarding to hear Town directly from readers of the Crier. CN ' RFurther note on deer--- Ken Boss called me after I the last issue of the Crier came out to say that ' he sees deer quite regularly around his place. He said a few years ago one was hit by a car on Highway E 31 and killed. Apparently they like to go into. ' eche Bethel oampus. I think it's super to live • " • where the deer are so close. Mr. Boss also remarked • on the ducks and pheasants that abound around here. Even after eight years in Arden Hills, I can't get used to that raucous quacking and Backing at night. Donna -Reynolds also called to say she had seen some deer, and she lives 'tivay south on Shorewood Drive. There was a deer in her yard the first weekend in May. 'Ne figure they run between the Presbyterian Home and North- western Bible College property. I'm surprised the creatures have been seen so far in. e t 11 II Did anyone notice (or care) that 4 out of the 5 candidates running; for the Mounds View School board were involved in education one way or another in their regular line of work?
