Noise and Odor Control Chapter 505 of the City Code states that "No person in any public or private place shall make or assist in making, by any manner or means, any loud, unpleasant or raucous noise or odor disturbing to others unless the same be reasonably necessary to the preservation of life, health, safety or property."

There is no fee for a party registration permit. Dog Nuisances Chapter 701 states that it is unlawful for any owner to fail to exercise proper care and control of his animals to prevent them from becoming a public nuisance. It is a nuisance for any dog to bark excessively, continuously or untimely ... and which noise occurs repeatedly over at least a five - minute period of time with one - minute or less lapse of time between each noise during the five - minute period.

This is the third in a series of articles. T HE FIRST ISLAND TO THE RIGHT is Spray lsland, a very picturesque place, and just ahead of it lies Shady Island (Shady Isle or Rockwell's Island), where a very home -like summer hotel is located called "the Harrow _ House" (formerly know as the Shady Isle House). At the rear of this island lie the remains of one of the first (1873) steam boats that disturbed Minnetonka's waters, the "May Queen," owned by Captain William Rockwell. It held 75 passengers and was the fastest boat at the time on the lake. The Ames boiler exploded in 1879, injuring 10 persons. The engineer was killed. Some fine summer houses are found along the shore on the left. The orchards and grounds known as Edgewood are located nearby. Mr. John Christian keeps a delightful summer hotel in this area. Howard's Point, just ahead, is another popular spot. Passing between Shady Isle and Howard's Point to the right is Enchanted Island or Great Spirit Island. When the Indian, unhampered by civilization, made Minnetonka his happy hunting ground and bowed before the Great Spirit in adoration, this island was chosen by the medicine men of the various tribes as a place for their dances, incantations and worship. They believed the Spirit visited this island periodically and very naturally they erected the Great Medicine Tepee. From this island the edicts of the medicine men went forth. It is not surprising to see the tepee or wigwam of some wandering chieftain erected on the edge of the thicket, where he is combining his worship with fishing and selling bead work, bows and arrows, little birch bark canoes, etc. to the tourists and lake residents. M Maxine Dickson writes about Lake Minnetonka area history. www.ci.shorewood.mmus 2002 Elections Absentee Ballot LIGIBLE SHOREWOOD VOTERS may vote by absentee ballot if they are unable to vote in person on election day for any of the following reasons: • Out of town • Illness or disability • Unable to go to the polling place due to a religious holiday or beliefs • An election judge serving in another precinct Absentee ballots are available for 30 days prior to each election.

Each year the Park Commission also conducts a walking tour of the parks. The tour is valuable not only for the purpose of reviewing current park conditions, but also to explore future possibilities for park use and amenities. The park commission has been challenging itself to be more inclusive and consider how the parks might serve a greater diversity of residents. We think the parks are generally doing a good job of reaching the community through traditional organized sports and this continues to be an important focus of Shorewood's park system. It is also important to be open to changing times and interests of the larger community, so that there is opportunity for new directions where and when appropriate. Skate parks, dog parks, lacrosse, and Frisbee golf are relatively new, or emerging activities for parks in some Minnesota communities. The South Lake Community Park (the skate park) is a good example of being open to using old space, the Highway 7 rest area, in a new way to serve an under - represented group in our city parks. Some of the observations the park commission has noted based on this year's park tour are: a need for resurfacing of the basketball court in Silverwood Park; options for placement of a paved perimeter trail in Freeman Park; and alternatives for improving maintenance and freshening the appearance of Cathcart Park. Members of the Park Commission couldn't miss the vibrant atmosphere found in the parks and the enjoyment we observed on people's faces who were using the parks in different ways. A goal of the Park Commission is to continue to nurture the spirit of the parks and the sense of community by continuing to assess whether our parks are being used to their best potential. 0 Paula Callies, Park Commissioner Community Events Connecting With Comics Excelsior Library Wednesday, August 7, 10:30 AM J OHN GREG KETTER from Dreamhaven Books & Comics will take you for a trip into the fascinating world of comics and graphic novels, old and new!
