I know it's very difficult to make a voting decision based on such sketchy information, but the League of Women Voters is sponsoring a Candidates' Meeting just for our Arden Hills' candidates on Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m, at our Village Hall. Hopefully, all of these candidates will be there,and it will be a super opportunity to ask questions and figure out just which candidates support your views the best. Do plan to attend. There will be a special showing of Bethel College's Christmas production "Amahl and the Night Visitor" for residents of our north suburban area on Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. It will be held in the Bethel gym and the cost is $3.00. This is sort of a goodwill gesture from Bethel to let the people who live around them become better acquainted with the college. If you have any questions, feel free to call their Community Relations Director John Bell Wilson at 641-6233. (Although,I sure hope you have better luck reaching someone at that number than I have had the three times I've called. The Oct. 2 Public Safety Committee meeting at the Village Hall concerning the Northwest Youth Services Bureau was quite well attended, with over 30 people in the Council chambers. However, when you consider there were 5 speakers, 4 Council members, 5 Public Safety Committee people, 2 stenographers, 4 from the Finance Committee and 3 staff members from the Youth Services Bureau, it's ob- vious why there was such a crowd. The question is whether or not Arden Hills should help fund this Bureau for the coming year. The purpose of the Youth Services Bureau is to serve youth in the North Suburban area as a job referral service and as a youth counseling service. Up until the arrival of the YSB two years ago, the only way the Sbs riff's Depart- ment had to handle kids in trouble was to "warn and release" them, or to turn them over to the courts system. There are many kids that really need a sort of in-between program,which the YSB can provide. All of the speakers, which included Wayne Foxx from the County Welfare Of- fice, Ms, J. Mincceskie from the Corrections Bureau, and Capt. Spencer of the Sheriff's Office, seemed to feel that the YSB is doing a good and necessary job in our area. The Public Safety Committee has not yet made its recommendation to the Council however. POTPOURRI: At AH Precinct 1, one voter who attempted to register on primary election day was turned down. It seems he had just moved into our area and had not yet changed the address on his driver's license. He had no other means of identification and apparently could'not round up anyone to vouch for him. The moral of the story is that if you want to register on election day, come pre- pared to prove your identity and address..... The immunization clinic on Rice Street has moved to downtown New Brighton. It's now at 701 NW 8th Ave. 633- 0301 ..... Bethel Seminary has 466 students enrolled this year...... Arden Hills received two neat checks last month, one from the Federal Dis- aster Assistance Administration for nearly $25,000 to help pay for last summer's flood damage, and another donation from the Minnesota Baptist Conference for $200. This last amount will be put toward fire protection in the city...... Would you believe another idea for the empty gas station at Cleveland and D? This is for a glass sales and replacement service business...... Received two calls this month about the lack of visibility of police cars in the Mobile Home court north of 96. The question is, can we afford more pat- rolling and do we really need it? ...... The movie "Foolin' Around", which is filming in the Twin Cities, asked Mayor Crepeau if they could shoot some scenes at the intersection of Cnty. Road D. New Brighton Road and Lake Johanna Blvd. After checking with the City Attorney, the Council said OK. It will be the last week of October or first week in November.....
