Maplewood Baseball Field Dedicated To Tom Kelly The Minnesota Twins have dedicated the newly-renovated baseball field at 2001 Edgerton Street North to former Twins Manager Tom Kelly. A grant to renovate the field was provided by the Minnesota Twins Community Fund. The field is a way to honor Kelly within his community, as it is nearby his longtime Maplewood home. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on August 8 to honor the retirement of Kelly’s number (10). The ceremony was hosted by the Minnesota Twins, the City of Maplewood, and the Maplewood Athletic Association. In attendance were Kelly, Twins President Dave St. Peter, Mayor Will Rossbach, and President of the Maplewood Athletic Association Erv Carlson. Kelly played for the Twins in 1975 and managed the team from 1986 to 2001. He is Minnesota’s leader in managerial wins at 1,140, a number that ranks 43rd on the Majors’ all-time list. He also holds a postseason record of 16-8 that includes the Twins’ ’87 and ’91 World Series titles. In addition to being cleaned and restored, the Tom Kelly Field received new covered dugouts, a larger outfield area, and a larger infield and pitcher’s mound to accommodate three different age groups. This project was a wonderful example of City departments coming together to achieve this outcome. A majority of the work completed was done in-house by City staff, a special thanks goes out to members of Park Maintenance and Public works for their hard work on this project.

Volunteer to Support Local Servicemembers If you would like to support your local Servicemembers but you don’t know where to start, check out Beyond the Yellow Ribbon of Suburban Ramsey County (BTYRSRC). Proclaimed as an official Beyond the Yellow Ribbon network on May 17, 2012, Suburban Ramsey County has built a community network of volunteers who are devoted to honoring and supporting Service- members and their families. “Maplewood has always been very supportive (of Beyond the Yellow Ribbon),” says Alison Bibeau, a self-proclaimed retired military wife and the volunteer Chair of BTYRSRC. Bibeau has been involved with the Suburban Ramsey County Network since the beginning. “People volunteer to show service members that they are supported,” says Bibeau. BTYRSRC has helped families of Servicemembers move, helped install a chairlift at a residence, and supported families awaiting the arrival of Servicemembers at the armories. They also help to fund family day picnics and activities on a volunteer basis. “Almost everyone knows someone in the service,” says Bibeau. “Beyond the Yellow Ribbon helps make us aware of people’s needs.” By spreading awareness, people can reach out and ask for help. One of the ways BTYRSRC shows support is by hosting a Burger Night fundraiser at the White Bear Lake VFW on the second Monday of every month from 5:00 to 8:00PM. Volunteers serve the burgers and all proceeds go to Beyond the Yellow Ribbon. “Even if you can’t volunteer, come by anyway for support,” says Bibeau about the fundraiser. Businesses can also sponsor these nights as a way to show support. In addition to other events this summer, the BTYRSRC co-sponsored a family picnic on August 24, along with the Knights of Columbus #4374 and the 147th Family Readiness Group. The picnic was for the families that have someone deployed from the 147th stationed at Arden Hills. Beyond the Yellow Ribbon of Suburban Ramsey County meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month. For more information, visit www.BeyondtheYellowRibbon.org/suburban-ramsey-county or visit their Facebook page.

With the passing of the open space referendum later that year, five million dollars were set aside to acquire land and preserve it as open space. Today more than 300 acres are home to natural woodlands, savannas, prairies, and wetlands. “It speaks well of Maplewood that the residents value open space and natural areas,” says Dewey Konewko, Director of Maplewood Parks and Recreation. The decision to preserve open space made Maplewood a pioneer in urban natural resources conservation. The City has had a special focus on preservation of natural resources ever since. The land acquired after the referendum is a part of Maplewood’s park system. The sites protected through the initiative are classified as Neighborhood Preserves. Maplewood now has 14 Neighborhood Preserves that provide citizens with places for enjoyment of nature, nature study, and hiking—passive rather than active recreation. “Each preserve is unique,” says Ginny Gaynor, the Natural Resources Coordinator for Maplewood. All provide wildlife habitat. A few are ecological gems. And several are great places for a hike. Sites with maintained hiking trails include: Priory, Applewood, Beaver Creek, Prairie Farm, Gladstone Savanna, and Maplewood Nature Center. “The sites are called Neighborhood Preserves because they are tucked right into the neighborhoods,” explains Gaynor. “It’s wonderful to have access to nature close to home. If people can’t experience natural areas and fall in love with them, they won’t be motivated to protect them long term.” Before the referendum, the City owned and managed natural areas including the Maplewood Nature Center and Jim’s Prairie. One site purchased through the referendum, Gladstone Savanna, was previously an industrial site and is now being restored to oak savanna. Another preserve, Joy Park, was given to the city by Ramsey County. After two decades of preservation and hard work, many open space sites in Maplewood have undergone or are in the midst of restoration. Prairie Farm Preserve and Beaver Creek Preserve, for example, have been planted with prairie grasses and wildflowers. Woodland restoration has begun at the Priory, Joy Park, Applewood, and the Nature Center with the removal of buckthorn. Restoration is both an art and a science and we continue to learn better ways to manage natural resources. Today, a lively discussion ensues about what types of recreation are appropriate at the city’s Neighborhood Preserves. Some residents have suggested using preserve sites for a dog park or disc golf course—activities that do not fall under the open space guidelines. The city is updating its Park Master Plan. During this process, the Parks Plan Task Force is taking a look at open space classifications to make sure we protect our natural areas, while meeting current and future needs. “The Task Force and the Park Plan public meetings will give us an idea of what people want in their parks and preserves,” says Konewko. The open space referendum and the Neighborhood Preserves have contributed to the enjoyment and enrichment of Maplewood citizens. The decision to acquire and protect open space has benefitted both the community and the preservation of natural resources. “The preserves are a tribute to the amazing residents who, 20 years ago, had the vision to protect these special natural areas,” says Gaynor. 20 Years Since Maplewood’s Decision to Preserve Open Space Jim’s Prairie Maplewood 1965 11th Ave E., Ste 101 (651) 777-3555 Fridley 1202 E.

City News City of Maplewood 5 September 2013 Septic Systems There are approximately 9,270 single family homes in Maplewood – 101 of those homes (and 2 businesses) have septic systems for the treatment of their sewage. Septic systems are also known as subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS). Maplewood’s existing SSTS ordinance was adopted in 2002. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has advised the City of Maplewood that we must update our SSTS ordinance to comply with changes made in Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080-7083. Major changes proposed include: • Management plans for all new or replaced systems. • Operating permits for systems with a pre-treatment device or design flow of more than 5,000 gallons per day. • Compliance inspections at time of property transfer, new or modified systems, and expansion or change in use of building or property. • Maintenance to ensure system is inspected and emptied if needed every three years. • Abandonment of systems no longer in use. The City Council will review the first reading of the revised SSTS ordinance on September 9, 2013. To view the draft ordinance, visit the City’s SSTS webpage at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/ septic.

City of Maplewood 6 September 2013 City News Buckthorn Curb-Side Pick-up Maplewood residents who remove large volumes of buckthorn from their properties will qualify for free curbside pick-up of buckthorn this fall. No other shrubs will be picked up. This service is available to residents with enough buckthorn to fill more than one large pickup truck. Pickup will be on designated days in November and for pre-registered households only. If you do not have enough to fill a large pickup truck, recruit your neighbors to participate in the program and we can include your block. To register: send your contact information (name, daytime phone, email and address) and that of any other interested house- holds in your neighborhood to: Maplewood Nature Center, 2659 7th St. East, Maplewood, MN 55119, or, email this information to Carole Gernes at cgernes@ci.maplewood.mn.us. Pickup from more than one household in a given neighborhood will save Maplewood tax dollars! A Naturalist will confirm your registration with a letter of instructions for the pick-up. Buckthorn is an aggressive, invasive European shrub that is taking over our native woodlands. Maplewood encourages residents to remove it from their properties. Unlike native shrubs, it retains its green leaves late into the fall, long after other leaves have turned color or fallen. This is the easiest way to identifybuckthorn and the best time for removal. To avoid accidental removal of beneficial dogwoods and cherries, we urge residents to wait until fall before removing their buckthorn. Buckthorn prevents the growth of native trees, ferns and wildflowers. Uncontrolled buckthorn growth may lead to the loss of our native woodlands. Tips for identifying buckthorn and effective removal can be found in the Maplewood Buckthorn Management brochure, available online at www.ci.maplewood.mn.us/index. aspx?nid=385. 2013 Buckthorn Drop-Off Site If you live in Maplewood, and do not have enough buckthorn for the free pick up program, you may drop off your buckthorn at the site below, ONLY on November 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Dumping of materials other than buckthorn or at other times is NOT allowed and is punishable with a fine of up to $700 and/or 90 days in jail. Londin Lane Fire Station, 2501 Londin Lane: Place your buckthorn between the signs on the west side of the parking lot. Do not drive off of the paved parking area. After these dates, bring your buckthorn to one of the four Ramsey County Compost Sites that accept brush. Note: not all compost sites accept brush! All roots must be removed. Bring proof of residency. Site maps and hours are available online at www.co.ramsey.mn.us/ph/rt/yard_waste_collection_sites.htm.

One of the most historic and notable golf courses in Minnesota, Keller Golf Course closed on September 30, 2012 to undergo a major $12 million renovation. Built in 1929 for a total construction cost of $108,000, Keller is owned and operated by Ramsey County Parks and Recreation and serves as the crown jewel of their system of five public courses. The extensive renovation plans for Keller include a new, larger clubhouse and pro shop, as well as new greens, tees and bunkers. The project involves digging a brand new irrigation pond, along with the total replacement of the existing irrigation system and pump station. Other course improvements patrons can look forward to are fairway regrassing, new drainage and new cart paths. Once complete, Keller’s new clubhouse will offer full banquet services and a beautiful modern venue for weddings, reunions, business meetings and other special events. The clubhouse is on track to be finished this fall and is scheduled to open in December; reservations can be made through Lancer Catering. Ramsey County Parks and Recreation currently anticipates that the course will reopen to the public in late spring or early summer of 2014. An exact date will not be set until the County is confident that the facility is fully prepared for continuous use. A grand reopening event for the course will be held next summer to celebrate the project’s completion. “We’re so looking forward to reopening Keller to our loyal patrons and the entire Twin Cities golf community next year,” said Jody Yungers, Director of Arena and Golf Operations for the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department. “We understand that it has been disappointing to have such a treasured course closed, but we really believe that everyone who comes out to experience Keller next year will be impressed.” “It will still be the Keller everyone loves,” reassures Tom Purcell, Keller’s PGA pro. “It will just look like it’s ready for its next 85 years.” Golf Course Superintendent Paul Diegnau is blogging throughout the Keller renovation to keep patrons updated with the latest photos and developments. Visit kellerrenovation.blogspot.com to follow the transformation. Updates are also posted on Ramsey County Parks and Recreation’s website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
