T O W CN 8 I E Published by the Arden Association No. 118 June 1978 Definition of Educations *What is left after you have forgotten everything you earned in school." --Albert Einstein, 1879-1955 This above quotation is in honor of all grad- uating Seniors. It is also meant as a reassur- ance to parents and as a hope for Society. For instance, can anyone but my 7th grader name the 10 Provinces of Canada? e �t �t More information about diseased trees in R. Arden Hills; this time sort of a "good news- . . • bad news" thing. The bad news is that if our • City Tree Inspector finds a rotten tree, it has to be removed. The good news is that the tree - owner now has to pay only the first $110 of tree removal cost each year. This will apply to residential property on135 and to yards of less than 5 acres in size. And it is not retroactive ---which must be upsetting to my friends on Lake Josephine who had a bill close to $1000 one yearfbr 8 very large elms. Anyway, be sure and check out your status with the Tree Inspector when and if he gives you the bad news. Also, John Buckley of the Parks Dept, says that you can dump tree cuttings, branches, and logs at the Vadnais Heights Site on Centeville Road, one-half mile south of Highway 96. It is anticipated that this site will be open after ' June 1, and IT'S FREE. No leaves, garbage, or plastic bags however. * e * e l I , 11 11 11 Had several calls about the way Ramsey County Sheriff's Department is servicing Arden Hills.

Apparently after they got the boy to the hos- pital, the Sergeant called her back the next day to see if everything was O.K. and to ask if there was anything else the Police could do. The next lady that called me had had a snowmobile -through -her -yard prob- lem last winter, and the Sheriff's Dept, again showed real concern and spent a lot of time explaining the legal limitations and her alternatives. She too appreciated the interest displayed by the Police. The next caller wasn't as positive. She is a senior citizen who lives near the Fairview -County Road D -New Brighton Blvd, intersection and feels that the traffic patrol on that corner has all but disappeared since Ramsey County took over our law enforcement. She said Arden Hills always used to have a squad car there and now she seldom sees one. On two occasions she has seen cars glide through the stop sign, and the kids from the nearby schools have become very careless about staying out of the road. (Editor's notes From personal experience, I can testify that the AH Police did watch that corner very carefully. It wasn't a ticket tho, just a warning.) This same lady tossed in an extra plea for people to please not allow
