Published by the Arden Hills Newsletter Publication Committee No. 130 September -October 1979 WARNING Someone has been regularly stealing produce this summer from gardens in the Arden Hills Community Garden Plot, and some of the growers there use dangerous pesticides. The gentleman farmer who called me about this said that the material he uses carries a warning that plants thus treated should not be harvested or consumed for at least 5 days after spraying. (Actually, both the caller and I felt that it might serve the thief right to go ahead and devour the stuff.) Anyway, be very careful if you plan to eat .. _ stolen food. Or, better yet, let your guns are safely investigate. RIFLE PRACTICE Interesting happenings in the woods between Mutual Service and Hunter's Parks apparently someone was playing around with a high-calibre rifle one evening and managed to put a bullet through one of the walls in a home, The lady of the house found the bullet on the bedroom floor and was more than a little upset. If anyone has any ideas who is enjoying such games, let me know. the Sheriff know! And parents, please check to see that all stored away when you're not home. The kids do love to LANDMARK CHANGE The Planning Commission has -given its O.K. for the familiar "Arden Hills Antiques" sign on Highway 96 to be changed to "Bohemian Cue Service." The house there has been sold, and the new owner repairs billiard cues and gives lessons on a part-time basis. (In real life, he is an engineer for Control Data.) As usual, there was quite a discussion of the legal ramifications of changing the sign and concern over what precedent might be set. However, since the situation here is rather unique (high-speed roadway, isolated location, etc.), approval ' of the request was given. Some comment was made about the looks of the sign directly across 96 from this locations it is a large sign identifying the Arsenal. Unfortunately that is Federal property and the Arden Hills sign ordinance hasn't much clout there. PARKS AND RECREATION Included with this newsletter is your fall schedule for AH's recreational programs. Our Parks Director is also in the process of lining up some basket- ball and volleyball leagues for some of the workers in Arden Hills. There has been some discussion at the Parks Committee (and there will be more over the winter)on having a closing time for the City -owned parks. A prob- lem has arisen in AH this summer with excessive late-night use of our parks, primarily by young people. It is felt that the limited hours of the County Parks are forcing the kids to the local parks. Of course, the question arises, if we close the City parks at 9 or 10 p.m., where will the kids go then? If you have a feeling on this, give me a call. HUMAN RIGHTS The Human Rights meeting on Thursday, Oct. 4, will be on "Women and Ath- letics," Representatives from the Bethel College and Mounds View High athletic ' departments will discuss compliance with the current laws. Come and bring your concerns and questions. 7s30 p.m. at the Village Hall.
