However, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety CommissIOn, there are an estimated annual 15,500 fires, 10 deaths and 10 injuries due to clothes dryer fires. Several hundred people a year are also subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning from improper dryer vent setups. The financial costs come to nearly $100,000,000 per year. In some cases faulty appliances are to blame, but many fires can be prevented with proper dryer venting. How a Clothes Dryer Fire Occurs Lint accumulation and reduced airflow feed on each other to provide conditions ripe for a fire. Lint can build up and block the vents and clog up the motor. Limited air flow and blockage can cause the dryer to over heat ignite the lint that has accumu- lated in the lint trap, vents, motor, and ducts of the dryer. Lint is a highly combus- tible material which once ignited can rapidly spread a fire. Warning Signs o If clothing is still damp at the end of a normal cycle or requires longer dryer times, this may be a sign that the exhaust or lint screen is blocked. o If the clothes come out hotter than usual or if the vent hood flapper doesn't open, maintenance is needed. __n___ __no -___ ~.~C;:CL:c_;f~?,;;,,,..>... ifi :.c::.~.~<'" I . / '. , . \ _~ ~L~ .,__) I . ,I ~ - _-=-:O-"',-:c.----~.<'-'::::',' I .J ~ r-'-- .'-- "'~'-'~~: ,~ Dryer Fire Prevention Tips o Clean the filter screen after each load! This will keep the vent clear and prevent the dryer from overheating. When a dryer overheats a fire can result. o Keep the dryer vents clean. At least twice a year try to vacuum out your dryer vent from the back of the dryer all the way to where it vents to the outside. Have your dryer and the vents professionally cleaned annually. o Limit the distance, the sharp turns, and the bends in your dryer vent. Dryers have moved from their traditional location in the basement of homes into many different locations throughout the house. Some dryer vents are harder to reach, have more bends, and have a longer distance to reach the outside, creating more places for lint to gather. The ideal solution is to have sholt and straight dryer duct venting. o Stay at home while the dryer is in use. o Install a smoke detector in your laundry room. o Vacuum out the dryer motor if it is accessible. Vacuum out the dryer vents, the area where the lint trap inserts, around the base of the dryer, and behind the dryer. o Take special care when drying clothes that have been soiled with volatile chemicals, such as gasoline, cooking oils, cleaning agents, or finishing oils and stains. These can increase the chances of a dryer fire and can easily catch on fire in a dryer that is over heated. It is best to wash rags, clothing, and soiled items more than once to minimize the amount of volatile chemicals on them. It would be best to hang dry these items; if this is not possible, use the lowest heat setting and a drying cycle that has a cool-down period at the end of the cycle. o Never use gasoline, paint removers or any flammable liquid to clean soiled rags, fabrics, or cloths. o Never place a mop head in a dryer. Let all mop heads dry out naturally. The dryer's heat can ignite the cleaning chemical residue on mop heads Kefli Murphy-Ringate Excelsior Fire District wwwci.shorewood.mn.

Planning Commission Notes Shorewood dock regulations, the Planning Commission felt that it was appropriate to make certain clarifications to the City Code. In particular, the Commission was concerned about the size of docks, both in terms of aesthetics and the intensity of watercraft use. The Commission has always held as one of its prime objectives to be as unobtrusive as possible in setting regulations, believing that property owners should have considerable freedom to use their property as they see fit. Thus the additional regulations that the Commission recommended were relatively simple. First, the width of the dock should be limited to four feet at any point, with the exception of one eight-by eight-foot section (to prevent massive dock structures). Second, the dock should extend into the lake for at least eight feet before branching out to form slips (to prevent a boardwalk configuration along the shoreline). Third, no more than four boats should be moored on a single property without first obtaining a permit from the LMCD and a conditional use permit from the City (to provide heightened scrutiny to ensure that all boats are registered to the property owner and that there is enough space for all the boats). Finally, no more than four slips should be covered by boat canopies (to prevent an unsightly alignment of canvass and plastic along the lakeshore ). Q1\EOfTIIEinalienable privileges of owning a Minnesota lakeshore property is the right to construct a dock. Owners of shoreland have docks for many purposes, but by far the most intensive use is as a mooring for boats. Some dock/boat owners are minimalists - a short, narrow wooden stIucture will suffice for tying up a single modest powerboat. Other owners are more ambitious, constructing long, wide docks with space for numerous large boats. The City has a compelling interest in regulating the size and use of docks. A lakeshore property typically is not secluded from neighboring properties. Thus, what one dock owner does with his/her dock is likely to affect his/her neighbors. A dock that is too large or the coming and going of a large number of boats can adversely affect neighbors' enjoyment of their lakeshore property. Further, the paucity of dock space on area lakes, particularly Lake Minnetonka, makes it tempting to some dock owners to rent out space, which likewise can result in further overcrowding of the shoreline and lake waters. The City shares regulatory responsibilities along the lake with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD). Essentially, the city regulates land use, while the LMCD regulates water use. Docks, because they start on land and end in the water, are regulated by both entities. Generally, the more restrictive set of rules will prevail. After examining the current Jeff Bailey. Chair Planning Commission Be An I nformed Resident THE CITY Of SHOREWOOD provides information to residents through the Sun Sailor and Laker newspapers, the Shore Report and the City web site.

The 2007 budget and property tax levy collectible in 2007 were approved. o Set the year 2007 storm water rates at $10.59/qtr. for lots less than 10,000 sq. ft.; $15.12/qtr. for lots 10,000-50,000 sq. f1.; $19.68/qtr. for lots over 50,000 sq.ft. o Acting as the Economic Development Authority (EDA), authorized the process to sell bonds to refinance the public safety facilities. Net savings in interest costs will be approximately $600,000 until the bonds are retired in 2023. o Approved the Fire Services Agreement with the City of Mound for fire protection services on the Islands. o Approved animal control and animal impound services for 2007. Animal control services will be provided by the City of Orono Animal Control and impounds will be provided by Auntie Ruth's at 12207 Mtka.

W"le" ACTIVITY uses less water-a five-minute shower or a full bath? How can you test whether your toilet has a leak? How much of the earth's water is available for human use? The answers may surprise you as you take EPA's new interactive quiz, "Test Your WaterSense." The quiz was created by EPA's WaterSense program and provides an entertaining way for both adults and children to learn more about why it is imp0l1ant to save water and how to be more water-efficient in your home. To take the quiz, players must maneuver the water-efficiency hero Hydro through a maze while avoiding water-wasting monsters such as Sogosaurus and Drainiac. As Hydro, players must answer questions along the way that test their knowledge of water-using behaviors and common water-saving opportunities. Questions deal with water use in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and yard. To take the challenge, go to www.epa.gov/watersense/waterltest.htm. Winter Water Conservation Tips WATER CONSERVATION IS something we can all practice just by changing a few habits. Here are a few suggestions to help you conserve our precious water and save yoursel f some money. . When it snows, shovel the snow onto the landscape rather than a paved surface. Your lawn will benefit from the slow percolation of the snowmelt. . Take shorter showers. A 5-minute shower will save water. Low-volume showerheads use only 2 gallons of water each minute; older models may use as much as 3 gallons per minute. . Catch water in a bucket while waiting for it to get hot or cold for watering houseplants, etc. . Check toilets for leaks by putting a small amount of food coloring in the back tank of the toilet before bed. In the morning, if any color is in the toilet bowl, you have a leak. Replacing the rubber flapper will usually take care of the problem. . Only run full loads in the dishwasher or washing machine. . Don't let the water run when you brush your teeth, shave or wash your face. With a small amount of effort, we will keep our water bills down and we will have plenty of fresh water to last a lifetime!

Thank goodness for those big garbage bins, right? Wrong! A typical Minnesotan generates about six pounds of waste each day. But from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, household waste increases by more than 25 percent. The Hennepin County Environmental Services Department offers the following tips to deal with the additional waste produced during the holidays: . Do recycle your tree. For curbside pickup, see Christmas Tree Disposal below. . Holiday cards? You can recycle most sty les. Don't recycle the photos or cards and envelopes with foil. . Do recycle gift boxes. . Do recycle all those cardboard boxes, including ones with printing or graphics. . Don't recycle wrapping paper. If it's in good shape, fold it neatly and save for next year. . Do recycle old electronics. Televisions, computers, and other consumer electronics are collected from residents for recycling at county Drop-off Facilities in Bloomington and Brooklyn Park. . Make a New Year's "No Waste" resolution. For example, bring a reusable mug to the coffee shop or switch to less toxic cleaning products. New "Toys"? IF YOU REPLACED electronic equipment, "'<<"". rechargable items,}/ appliances, electronic toys, and other such items over the holidays, please do not just throw the old ones away. If they are reusable, please donate them to a local charity; otherwise, check the Hennepin County web site for recycling options and requirements. Many electronic items cannot go into the landfill. Do your part and check! Go to www.co.hennepin.mn.us and type in the keyword A-Z.
