1jublished by the Arden Hills Newsletter Publication Committee . No. 126 May 1979 T From the Parks and Recreation Departments Saturday, May 19, looks like a neat day for AH O residents. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Perry Park, a kite -flying contest will be held. You can fly either a store kite or a home-made one, and ribbons will be give for the best kite in C various categories (largest, smallest, most un- usual, etc.). R' At ls00 p.m., on the same day at the same park, Arden Hills will hold its annual Volks March, which is simply a spring walk through part of our village. This year we hope to take a look at Chatham and some of Bethel. Individ- uals are encouraged to walk as far as their time R and/or energy allows. John Buckley, our Barks ' • Director, has a sub -committee working on the weather for that day. Our Public Works Supervisor Bud Johannsen is really angry and frustrated over the vandalism of street signs in Arden Hills. People are stealing the "No Parking" signs (which require a hammer and chisel to remove), spray painting roads signs and fire hydrants, and generally being destructive. Not only is the cost of replacing these things mounting, but the time spent is ridiculous. Bud says that the last week of school is particularly bad. Do let's try and stop this sort of thing. HELP AGAIN! Several volunteers are needed to serve on some of Arden Hills' various committees. Currently wanted are people for the Finance Committee, the Parks and Recreation Committee, and an alternate for the Planning Commission. ' Do give the Village Hall a ring (633-5676) if you can help out. Residents of Arden Hills in the Karth Lake area are especially invited to the Parks and Recreation meeting on May 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Village Hall, The Parks Committee is going to discuss alternatives for the development of Cummings Park and citizen input and ideas are needed for this planning. By this time, you may have seen our Tree Inspector Dave Winkel checking logs, branches, stumps, and firewood piles .... all places that may serve as breeding sites for elm beetles or oak wilt spores. Checking these is the ini- j tial step in controlling spread of the diseases. Between now and August 15, three more inspections of the shadetrees them- �) selves will be made on all public and private property to identify diseased oak 'and elm. This year, diseased trees will be marked with the letter "A" and a number. Trees so marked must be removed. If you find such a marked tree on your property, please call the Village Hall for directions on removal and dis- posal. Mutual Service Insurance Companies will become our new neighbor on June 1 when they will move into their new facilities at Two Pine Tree Drive, Arden 'Hills (corner of County Road E & Snelling). Mutual Service Insurance offers variety of employment opportunities in professional, technical and clerical areas. Please call 645-6611 for further information. a
