■ plays NBA basketball for the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately, the Twin Cities carries few of the Bulls' games, and Mr. Landsberger has been driving up to St. Cloud to watch the boy play on one of the channels up there. ' Now most of us probably don't have quite such motivation for wanting cable TV. But I found out that the Council, has no particular objection to giving a cable company permission to operate in Arden Hills; it's just that none of them has asked. So if you really want this in Arden Hills, it's up to you to ' convince the people who have the cable equipment that Arden Hills would have a sizeable enough market for the product. The City Council is willing to listen. NJ The Arden Hills Townhouse Association will sponsor a Blood Drive on Tues- day,t July ll, at the Village Hall. The Bloodmobile will be there from noon until 6:00 p,m. You can make an appointment beforehand by calling either Connie Spengler (633-1997) or Charlotte Swank (631-3766). IN Had an anonymous phone call (he didn't want to get into trouble with his ' neighbors) from a gentleman with a plea for Arden Hills' residents to keep their yards picked up and free from piles of boxes, broken wood, and other debris. He said he had been a resident of Arden Hills for many years and liked' his neighbors but was disappointed with their neatness. His pet peeve was people who put their garbage cans out for weekly trash pick-up and then leave them there for several days, sometimes without covers. (Editor's note: On the other hand, I've always felt that AH was rather well -kept„ at least in comparison with some surrounding cities. There is an unnamed suburb to the south that has a blue school bus parked in one yard with a mattress and other things hanging out of it. It is an artist's delight when the snow drifts in.) There was a meeting of the Arden Hills* Newsletter Publication Committee ■ last month (yes, Virginia, there is a Committee directing this publication!) and we came away with two suggestions: a) we'd like to increase rreadership of ' the Town Crier and also measure some way just how many people do read it, and 2) increase news coverage of the industrial and/or business part of our Village. Any Club or Group is welcome to put public notices into the Crier, but there are some restrictions on advertising bake sales and the like. However, ' ,we'd really like to know what everybody is doing. No one at the Committee meeting could quite figure out how to discover if anybody is reading this. There was violent objection to the idea of making a directIelephone survey and asking people. One neat thought was to have each resident call in to report on his/her Town Crier reading habits, and if a resident doesn't call, he/she would automatically be put on a Committee! ' As are all Arden Hills' Committee meetings, the Newsletter Committee gatherings are open to the public. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, July 12, at 6:30 a.m. (morning!) at the Steak -Inn on County Road E, in the smoking sec- tion. See you all then. , Two of the office buildings in the Lexington Woods Office Park (northwest ■ corner of Lexington and F) appear to be set to go. One will house National Biocentrics, which is a consulting firm that examines environmental problems, They have 30 employees currently and plan on up to 52. ' The other building will be the home office of BanCon and will have.13 to 17 employees working there. Most of their people are out on projects around the Twin Cities. '
