Saint Paul Youth Say "YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE!"

We have been working on a project to use the arts to increase voting rates in St. Paul.  Attached is a hip hop music video that our youths "The Voices" did.  It will be showing on SPNN between now and Election Day.

This project was funded by Univ of MN CURA, coordinated by Chia Lor, District 1 organizer, and assisted by Clara Ware, youth organizer. 

Congratulations to Aisha, Andrew, Delena, Hafsa, Kashyra, Nyalat, Soto and Victor - the fantastic VOICES!

YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE! Vote on November 3 (and EVERY election...)

Deer Hunts coming to District 1 in October and November

Ramsey County Parks and Recreation, in partnership with the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base, will again conduct controlled archery deer hunts this fall throughout the Ramsey County parks system.

Daylong hunts will be conducted at 10 park and trail locations on select dates in October and November. Most hunts are held Friday through Sunday, with select hunts held Monday through Wednesday to help minimize the impact on weekend park and trail users.

Many of the locations are the same as those used in previous years. Tamarack Nature Center, located within Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park, has been added back to the list of locations after no hunt was held at the center in 2014. In turn, no hunt will be conducted this year in the Bald Eagle section of the park.

Hunt locations in District 1 and surrounding areas with dates are:

• Battle Creek Regional Park (St. Paul/Maplewood)                                             Oct. 12-14 and Nov. 9-11
• Fish Creek Open Space (Maplewood/St. Paul)Oct. 16-18 and Nov. 13-15
• Pig’s Eye (Battle Creek Regional Park, St. Paul)                                                   Oct. 16-18 and Nov. 13-15
• Tamarack Nature Center (White Bear Township)                                               Oct. 19-21 and Nov. 16-18    

During the hunts, entire parks or portions of a park may be closed. The Battle Creek and Otter Lake off-leash dog areas will be closed during hunts; the Rice Creek North off-leash area is expected to remain open. Efforts will be made to keep most major paved hiking and biking trails open. Signs will be posted at common entry points to parks where hunts are being conducted, and park visitors are requested to stay out of these areas.

All archers have already been selected for 2015.
