meetings in June, Shorewood and Tonka Bay
gave their approvals to the final plans and the
cooperative agreement with Hennepin County
to reconstruct the intersection of County Road

The project as now planned is estimated to

Mosquitoes: Can We Ever Win?
S DIEHARD MINNESOTANS we can
handle just about anything - -rain,
sleet, snow, hail, humidity- -but not many
can be found who would admit a fondness
for the common >
mosquito. How can t ;.
such a small creature
cause a Minnesotans t1F
to stay inside on a
beautiful 73' summer night!
According to the American Mosquito
Control Association, there are a few
things that can be done to help reduce
the population of mosquitoes, and make
the influx of our summer pests a bit more
bearable.
Repellents
Persons working or playing in mosquito -
infested areas will find repellents very
helpful in preventing mosquito bites.
Visit the American Mosquito Control
web site, www. mosquito.org, for specific
information on repellents.
1. Destroy or dispose of tin cans, old tires,
buckets, etc. that collect and hold water.
Do not allow water to accumulate in the
saucers of flowerpots, pet dishes, etc.
for more than 2 days.
2. Clean debris from rain gutters and
remove any standing water under or
around structures, or on flat roofs.
3. Change the water in birdbaths and
wading pools at least once a week and
stock ornamental pools with top feeding
predacious minnows. More information
on treating ornamental pools is
available at www.mosquito.org.
4. Fill or drain puddles. Fill tree holes
with mortar.
5. Check for trapped water in plastic
or canvas tarps used to cover boats,
pools, etc. Arrange the tarp to drain
the water.
6. Irrigate lawns and gardens carefully
to prevent water from standing for
several days.PL

of cleaning up the damage.
If you suspect you are a victim of
identity theft, you should immediately:
1. Contact the fraud departments of any
one of the three major credit bureaus
to place a fraud alert on your credit
line. Once you notify
one bureau, the alert
will be placed with
the other two, and all
three credit reports
will be sent to you

'win Cities Free Market
Residential Materials Exchange Program Now Available
H ENNEPIN COUNTY IS pleased to offer
its residents the "Free Market ", an
innovative online residential materials
exchange program. The Free Market is a
listing service connecting free, reusable
items with people who want them. It is
part of an effort to reduce the amount of
reusable goods being thrown away. In
Hennepin County alone, it's estimated
that 32 million pounds of usable clothing
and household goods are thrown away
each year — that's enough to fill shopping
carts lined up from Minneapolis to
Milwaukee.
The Free Market web site allows
residents to see what items people in
their community are looking for or what
items people have to give away, and
how to reach them so they can make an
exchange.
Typical items on the Free Market include
appliances, children's items, electronics,
furniture, home decor, lawn and garden
equipment, musical instruments, and
exercise equipment.
In 2003, The Free Market had over
8,000 listings and facilitated over 4,000
exchanges amounting to over 500 tons of
materials. The Free Market web site is

curving County Road 19. The curve will
go through what had been the site of the
Tonka Bay Liquor Store.
The opening of bids for the project
is scheduled for August 4, and action
to award construction contracts is
scheduled for the August 9 Shorewood
City Council meeting. Shorewood will
be the lead agency for the project.
The project will take two construction
seasons to complete, as the right -of -way
acquisition process has taken longer than
anticipated. The work done this year will
primarily consist of underground utilities,
retaining walls, and temporary lanes. At
the end of the construction season, traffic
signals — probably temporary ones — will
be in place at the intersection. The bulk
of pavement construction will occur in
2005.
Attention has been given to the
aesthetics of this area. Concrete
retaining walls will have a stamped rock
pattern with ornamental railing on top of
them. Streetlighting will be decorative,
and very similar to those in place along
the Grays Bay bridge. Planting areas
will be featured along the Shorewood
side of the intersection itself.
As part of this project, Hennepin
County must provide a stormwater
pond. It will be constructed on the City's
Gideon Glen property. It is an important
component of the water quality and
restoration work that is scheduled to be
completed next year. M
be available starting August 13. You may

voting hours at City Hall will be:

10 PM to 3 PM
The Monday prior to Election Day —
Until 5 PM
