City Council adjusts billboard code

Prompted by the arrival in the region of a lawyer known for suing towns over billboards, Arden Hills leaders Monday night tweaked their sign code as a precaution.

The changes unanimously approved by the City Council will have little effect on the scenery of the suburb, which is sliced by Interstate 694, U.S. 10 and Minnesota 96 and bounded by I-35W. But that's a good thing, said city planner James Lehnhoff, since all those roads are fertile ground for planting building-sized billboards and the city didn't want to be forced to accept a bumper crop if a court found its code unconstitutional.

Atlanta attorney E. Adam Webb hasn't filed or threatened to file any lawsuits against Arden Hills, but he has filed more than 100 suits nationwide against communities, including Hopkins and Eden Prairie.



Ocean to Sound Relay Hits the Massapequas

Runners from all over the New York Metropolitan area and beyond are cordially invited to put together teams to participate in the 21st annual Ocean to Sound Relay, on Sunday, Sept. 10.

The Relay brings the entire Long Island region together in an annual September tradition, with 150 teams of eight runners each traversing a 50- mile course that starts at 8 a.m. at Jones Beach State Park, heads north and east through Wantagh, Seaford, Massapequa, Farmingdale and Old Bethpage before crossing into Huntington, hitting the Long Island Sound at Lloyd Harbor, returning to Nassau County via Cold Spring Harbor and Syosset, and then heading north again to a dramatic finish on the grounds of Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay.

Each runner on the team runs a leg of between five and seven miles.
