Join Us For Two Town Hall Meetings Two educational forums sponsored by the Maplewood Human Rights Commission. Voter Identification Forum TuesdAy, OCTObeR 9, 7:00PM - 9:00PM Should identification be required to vote? Some argue that I.D. is required for nearly all transactions these days and it will reduce voter fraud. Others say there is no evidence of voter fraud and it will just be a barrier to voting. What do you think? Join the discussion in the Maplewood City Hall Council Chambers located at 1830 County Road B East. The Future of Marriage in Minnesota TuesdAy, OCTObeR 23, 7:00PM - 9:30PM What is the function of marriage in our society? What are the public and social benefits of marriage? How is marriage different from a civil union? Should marriage be only between a man and a woman? Dr. Bill Doherty, Professor of Family Social Science at the U of M, and others will speak on the history and culture of marriage including social, religious, economic, and legal perspectives. Hear the issues and join the discussion at the Maplewood Community Center in the banquet room located at 2100 White Bear Avenue. Council Cor n e r City of Maplewood 4 October 2012 Preserving History: The Bruentrup Farm By Councilmember Marv Koppen Preserving history in Maplewood has been a focus of the Maplewood Historical Society since its creation more than 20 years ago. In Maplewood, citizen volunteers make a strong community with pride for our past and dedication for a bright tomorrow. Making it happen with active volunteers like George Rossbach is a natural. George, Carolyn Peterson, Char Wasiluk and other members of the historical society decided they were going to preserve an important part of Maplewood history in 1999, the Bruentrup Dairy Farm. It was located at the corner of White Bear Avenue and Lydia Avenue right across the street from Maplewood Mall. But to do it they needed to work with the owners Bill and Raydelle Bruentrup who decided to sell the six acre parcel of land after his sister died since she lived on the farm which was the last remaining working farm in Ramsey County. They met with city officials and members of the historical society and mapped out a plan to move the farmhouse, barn, an outbuildings to an 23 acre open space parcel on County Road D. A very ambitious undertaking to be sure but they were determined and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Financing the effort was a primary focus of the stakeholders and the Bruentrups were the first to make a sizeable donation and then local legislative leaders were contacted to carry legislation to provide the additional funds necessary for the move including architectural plans, site preparation, footings and foundations and the physical move of the buildings by Semple Movers from St. Paul. The Maplewood delegation made their way to the Minnesota State Capitol lead by Mayor George Rossbach who testified on behalf of the city as to the relevance and importance of preserving an important part of Maplewood history and making it a heritage and legacy for the city for years to come. State Senator Chuck Wiger and State Representative Scott Wasiluk were instrumental in assisting the efforts of the citizen volunteers who were mobilized and eager to make a positive difference in the city. Moving day arrived with a bright sunny morning and excitement in the air as the KMSP-9 television news crew was present to cover the event. Historical Society members, residents, city officials, and staff witnessed history as the Semple Mover’s crew began the delicate process of lining up the moving trailers under the farmhouse and jacking began. The short ride from Lydia to Woodlynn to County Road D was slow but steady and an anxious crew relaxed after the house was set in place on its new foundation. Subsequent work on the Bruentrup Farm was completed by Bill Bruentrup, George Rossbach, Glen Peterson and a number of dedicated citizen volunteers including commissioners, staff, boy scouts, and trades people. The farm is a shining example of how great things can be accomplished with a simple common goal of preserving history. Most recently the grandson of Commission member Carolyn Peterson was married in a wedding at the farm and it was enjoyed by dozens of family members and friends with a new generation of young people making new memories and history for the City of Maplewood.

City News City of Maplewood 5 October 2012 What To Do With Fall Leaves Keeping leaves out of the street storm drain is something easy we can do to help keep our local lakes clean. Leaves have the nutrient phosphorus and when phosphorus enters our lakes – through storm drains or falling from tree to lake – it encourages green algae to thrive. Maplewood city ordinance and Minnesota state law prohibit citizens from throwing, blowing, plac- ing, or discharging leaves or any other materials onto a public roadway. The city helps minimize the amount of sediment and organic matter entering lakes and wetlands through its street sweeping program. Maplewood’s public works crew sweeps city streets twice in spring, once in summer, and twice in fall. A few target areas are swept a third time in fall. Fall sweeping typically begins in mid-October and may go until late November. Residents are encouraged to help by keeping leaves out of the storm drains in front of their homes. Phosphorous is an important nutrient for plants. So, why not put the phosphorus in leaves to work in our yards rather than our wetlands? Here are some options for how to handle fall leaves: If a thin layer of leaves covers your lawn, simply mow the lawn and leaves with a mulching mower. The nutrients in the leaves will help fertilize your grass. (If you cannot see any grass blades poking above the leaves, the layer is probably too thick for this method since the amount of leaf matter could smother the grass.) Rake (Hand raking is good exercise, quiet and non-polluting) leaves into a corner of the yard and compost them for fertilizer for next year. A simple wire fence in a 5’-6’ diameter circle is all that is needed to contain them. City ordinance does require that the compost pile be placed in the back yard, at least 5 feet from the rear and side property lines. Water the compost pile if dry to speed the composting process. Rake leaves and use them to mulch shrub or flower beds. This helps retain moisture in the soil and suppress weeds. If desired, before using leaves as mulch, chop them into smaller pieces by raking into small piles and running a lawn mower over them. Rake leaves into paper or compostable bags and take to a Ramsey County compost site. For details visit www.ramseyatoz.com or call 651.633.EASY (answered 24/7). Subscribe to the yard waste service provided by the city’s new trash hauler, Allied Waste Services. The yearly subscription is $79.50, with weekly pick up from April through November. Allied will provide the yard waste cart for this service. For October and November of 2012, the fee has been prorated to $19.80. Allied also offers one- time yard waste pick up for $3.50 per compostable or paper bag. To subscribe to yard waste service, please contact Allied Waste Services at 651.455.8634. Consider gathering your neighbors, family members, or a scout troop to join forces and rake leaves from storm drains in your neighborhood.

Billing by Haulers that Will No Longer Provide Service Billing by trash haulers that will no longer provide residential trash and yard waste services should not extend beyond September 30, 2012. Beginning October 1, 2012, charges for residential trash will be billed by Allied on a bi-monthly schedule. Allied should be contacted with billing questions. The City has been notified that some haulers have billed their residents for services beyond September 30, 2012. This error could be due in part to trash hauling bills being distributed for the upcoming service period (e.g., the next two months or the next quarter) and the hauler’s automatic billing methods not being adjusted in time. To ensure that you are not overbilled by your hauler, examine your trash and yard waste bills very carefully, especially during the transition to the new organized trash collection system. If you are being charged for service beyond September 30, this is an error and you should not pay the bill until all of your questions are answered satisfactorily. If you have already paid for a bill you believe is in error, you should request reimbursement from the hauler. Ask your hauler to clarify what you are being charged for and for what months of service.
