f d their dogs to run loose between lls00 pose and 5s00 a.m. just because it's. w I dark out. Dogs seem to do their doggy things in other people's yards regard- less of the time. t * e e * * e Speaking of dogs, do you know just what it costs if your dog is picked ' up by the dog catcher? The 'impounding fee' is $10. And if the animal had the misfortune to bite someone, it must be quarantined in the kennel for 10 days to make azure there will be no rabies problem. So add on a $30 kennel , cost. Watch your dog! Several people have asked about Arden Hills' current status regarding ambulance service. When the Sheriff's Dept* took over our police service, ' I we had no vans or station wagons to turn over to them as ambulances. So, as of now, we continue to get our ambulance service from Unity Hospital in Fridley. If you think you need an ambulance, you can call Unity directly$ or get hold of the Sheriff, and he will call fair you. I called Unity and discovered that the base rate for an ambulance is X63 if you need a stretcher, and $26 if you can sit up. Add to this $2 per mile from your point of pick-up to whereveryou want to go. (For a cardiac arrest , they do recommend the nearest hospital!) It's $5 more if you want the siren and flashing lights. Since the average distance to a hospital from Arden Hills is roughly 10 miles, you're probably going to run up a bill of around ' $100 per ride. The man at Unity said that a cardiac patient generally nests closer to $140 because of the drugs and/or oxygen administered and the monitor- ing devices used. One lady who phoned me said she had called a Medical Cab from Minneapolif� once to take her to Midway Hospital", and the bill was $98. Apparently that's the going rate. Our Council is currently considering ways and means of having good am- bulance service that we can afford. Right now, Unity seems best.
