EGINNING WITH THE POSITIVE ACTION OF TWO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS several
years ago—and subsequent efforts of other area youth, civic, church and school
representatives — steady progress has been made toward providing a safe and cen-
tralized location for in -line skaters and skateboarders in the South Lake area. The Shorewood
City Council and Park Commission have worked with these groups and with neighboring
Councils to respond to their request.
Partnership
The youth who have been involved in the project for the last three years have:
♦ Attended many evening meetings and demonstrated great patience over the
lengthy and complex process.
♦ Respectfully made presentations to the Shorewood Park Commission and to
various local City Councils.
♦ Researched park designs, built models and worked hand -in -hand with adults
in the development of this project.
A great civic lesson has been building and its important outcome awaits.
Placement
C oncurrent with the development of this vision has been the unfolding of a newly acquired
parkland location within the City. The State of Minnesota has recently turned over
ownership of the old Highway 7 wayside rest area (northwest of Old Market Road) to the
City of Shorewood. While other sites were offered and considered, this one has many
advantages:
♦ It is central to Shorewood and other local sponsoring cities.
♦ There is existing hard surface area to benefit the activity and
provide for parking —and therefore a significant cost savings.
♦ The spot is highly visible and safe.
Come and visit the site with Park Commissioners and City Councilmernbers
on Saturday, May 6 from 9:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M.
This visit will be,followed by a Community Open House on Vonday, May 8
from 5:30 i m. to 7:00 it w. at the Southshore Center 5735 Country Club Road.
Questions or comments rntkv also be directed to City Hall-474-3236.

Aosquito Forecast
• Far, So Good
ENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS AND LACK OF STANDING WATER
mean fewer mosquitoes are developing right now. The
Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (MMCD) is trying to
keep it that way by checking and treating areas where
mosquitoes develop.
Shorewood residents are urged to take special steps during
spring cleanup to remove or recycle containers in their yards
that hold water after rainfall. Mosquitoes that develop in these
containers can spread encephalitis.
Besides controlling mosquitoes, MMCD offers tips to reduce
your exposure to mosquitoes around your home:
=> Remove water - holding containers around your yard and
clean out rain gutters to allow proper drainage.
=> Keep your lawn mowed and hedges trimmed. This will
give mosquitoes fewer places to hide during the day.
=> Wear white or light colored clothes and avoid colognes,
hair sprays and perfumed laundry products for your cloth-
ing. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors and
fragranced items.
=* Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Keep this
in mind as you plan your activities.
=> Use mosquito repellent when necessary, but follow label
directions carefully.
If high numbers of mosquitoes threaten to spoil your summer
fun, MMCD may be able to help. For more information call the
MMCD 651 -645 -9149, or visit www.mmcd.org.
Shorewood Council
Agrees to Joint
Powers Agreement
A T THEIR APRIL 10 MEETING, the
Shorewood City Council adopted a
resolution authorizing the Mayor and
Acting Administrator to execute the Ex-
celsior Fire District Joint Powers Agree-
ment. The four other member Cities (Ex-
celsior, Tonka Bay, Deepbaven and
Greenwood), have acted similarly or are
close to accepting the agreement.
Consensus on the final document by
all five City Councils will allow for the
creation of the Excelsior Fire District
Board. The ultimate gain in restructur-
ing the arrangement for fire and emer-
gency services is to anticipate and pre-
pare for the future safety and fire protec-
tion needs of the community. As the pro-
cess continues, we will report on its vari-
ous stages and outcomes.

"In Those Days"
as told by Mr. W. Dudley Kendrick
The first Mayor of the Village of Shorewood
W HEN THE KENDRICK'S first moved
here (1930) a lot of houses —older
farm houses —were rundown. Theirs
was one of them. It had no electricity
and no water, except a cistern. Like
many of the others, they had an
outhouse. All around the lake it was
common to have outhouses. The advent
of the sewer system came along in the
1940's and into the `50's. Mr. Kendrick
commented that it's perhaps unfortunate
that the Village of Shorewood didn't
consider putting water in at the same
time as the sewer system.
There were lots of kerosene lamps.
People who had gas in their house had to
use tank gas from the gas company. There
were also a lot of oil burning furnaces.
For the coal burning furnaces, Lyman
Lumber and Hennessy Lumber, the two
lumber companies in Excelsior, brought
coal in the trucks and unloaded it at the
various houses that needed coal. It was
not too satisfactory a situation, but people
were able to be comfortable.
More about life out in the country "in
those days" next month!
Be Clearly ,addressed
NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE ALL OUTSIDE
AGAIN, it's good to take a look at your
own home and yard from the perspec-
tive of the street to see how the rest of
the world views your property. It's very
important to notice if your address num-
bers are visible and legible from the
street, in daylight and in darkness. Be-
sides helping your guests find you more
easily, the emergency services (fire,
medical & police) can respond to urgent
situations more quickly.

will soon receive their "self- read" meter
reading cards. This is a yearly procedure
to verify that the outside meter is func-
tioning properly and that quarterly read-
ings are keeping pace with actual water
usage. Some tips on what to look for:
• The inside meter is located at the point
where the water service line enters the
home. This is usually in the furnace or
utility room; but can be located in clos-
ets, under stairways, or in cupboards.
The reading itself is like an odometer
on a car. Please include all permanent
zeros printed on the face plate.
• The outside remote meter is a small
(less than 5 inches square) plastic fix-
ture located on an exterior wall. This
reading is also like an odometer. Look
straight at the reading and please in-
clude all permanent zeros located to
the right of the numerical wheels on
the face plate.
• While reading the outside meter, please
take note of the surroundings. Inter-
fering bushes, trees, plants, dog access
areas, etc. should be cleared to facili-
tate regular meter reader accessibility.
Cards must be completed and
returned to City Hall by May 20 to
avoid a $5 late fee.

residents of Shorewood and will appear on the second quarter
utility billing. If your curbside items are out by 7.00 A.M. on

City of Shorewood — May 2000
A�
April, 2000
Serving Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay
The $25,000 Question...
P ERHAPS you've come to expect it. The action - packed line -up of special
summer and fall events: Art on the Lake... Fourth of July... Crazy Days...
Farmer's Market ... Apple Day... Christmas/Holiday Happenings. But have you
ever wondered WHO sponsors these events... and WHY?
�O is us...the Excelsior Area Chamber of Commerce. We're a 163 -
V V member business organization consisting of retailers, business profes-
sionals, non - profit organizations and community- minded individuals in
Excelsior, Tonka Bay, Greenwood and Shorewood!
W ]�Y? The Chamber's mission is to promote and support an environment
V V in which businesses can thrive. These special events contribute to our
mission in two ways: first, they draw visitors –from all over the Twin Cities –
into our community. Presumably, these visitors buy goods and services and
patronize our restaurants. Second, the events help showcase our community
to potential business investors and new residents. In the case of Art on the
Lake, art aficionados from all corners of Minnesota and parts of Iowa and
Wisconsin make it a point to attend this premiere art show. The Firecracker
Run, now in its 24th year, is the state's largest Fourth of July lOK race and
attracts nearly 1,200 participants! Apple Day's fans mark their September cal-
endars months in advance so they won't miss this harvest celebration.
S pecial events accomplish something else. Four years ago, my family moved
to Shorewood from Delafield, Wisconsin. It was December 18th. Our two
boys were young and most unhappy about having left behind childhood
friends and memories. No place could ever be as good as "our old home." The
second evening here, we happened to drive through downtown Excelsior.
Every tree, lamppost, storefront and home was dressed in its finest holiday col-
ors and decor. We felt welcomed, embraced and charmed. We knew that night
As the we had found a great place to call home.
"v i& is tit stay i touc� witV both b u s iness" ' Delafield had met its match.
®,
Z ford travels fast ... particularly these
ers and area residents.
�/ �/ days. Now that the Excelsior area
has a website (wwwExcelsioronline.com), we field inquiries from the all over
the U.S., parts of Europe and Japan! Only a few weeks ago, a California man
called our Chamber to inquire about hotel space for the next Wayzata "Chili
Open." He'd seen it featured on CBS Sunday Morning. Even though he'd
reached the wrong chamber of commerce, he chose to visit our end of the lake
because of information provided on our website.
S PECIAL EVENTS are only part of the Chamber's function. As the "voice of
business" our job is to stay in touch with legislators on issues that affect
both members and area residents. In 2000, you'll see our increased involve-
ment in legislative issues ranging from downtown zoning and economic devel-
opment to property taxes and civil justice reform. We'll strive to stay better
tuned to changes, concerns and trends that impact the South Lake Minnetonka
area. In the meantime, we invite you, the Shorewood residents, to participate
in and enjoy the fun family- centered events of the Excelsior area. Hope to see
you all at these exciting Chamber events in 2000 and beyond! Keep reading...
Timing is everything!
In the late 1800's, the Fourth of July celebration
was marked by sailboat races, shell races, gun
club competitions, baseball games, a swimming
match for dogs and an afternoon band concert.
We're not certain about the specific events on
July 4, 1900 ... but people won't soon forget the
celebration on July 4th 2000!
Planning for this all -day event actually began 12
months ago. That's when the Chamber invited
the Minnesota Orchestra to perform a concert as
a prelude to the fireworks. "We didn't really
expect the Orchestra to be available, but they
were," said Terry Roeser, Fourth of July chairper-
son for 1999 and 2000. Roeser said the idea of
bringing such first class entertainment to
Excelsior was inspired by the millennium cele-
brations. (July may be the most "politically cor-
rect" time to usher in the new mil -
lennium... halfway between 2000 and 2001.)
The internationally renowned orchestra will per-
form in their own transportable bandshell that
includes sound, lights and elevated stage.
Associate Conductor Guincarlo Guerrero will
conduct the 75- member orchestra in a spirited
set of patriotic tunes and pop classics.
Spectacular fireworks in Excelsior Bay will follow
the concert.
What does a celebration like this cost? All of the
events* —from the Kids' Parade, Sand Castle
Building Contest, Kids' Fishing Contest and the
other entertainment —are free to the public. To
pay the Minnesota Orchestra's performance fee
($25,000) the Chamber has orchestrated its own

Timing is Everything, continued from P. 1
series of fundraisers starting with the "Swing into Spring" party
and raffle on February 25th, the April 27th Chamber night at
the Old Log Theater, the May 20 -21 Excelsior Boat Show, and
through generous sponsorships from area businesses. Of
course, there are quite a few other costs related to entertaining
a crowd that generally tops 27,000 people (on land). The cities
of Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Bay have been
generous in helping to offset the public safety expenses.
In addition to the generous help from the cities of Shorewood,
Excelsior, Greenwood and Tonka Bay, we have wonderful cor-
porate sponsors (see list below) without whom we would not
be able to present the Minnesota Orchestra. Look for these
companies at the Boat Show, Firecracker Run Race and the
Fourth of July events.
Without our corps of volunteers — including the Niccum Barge
crew that hosts the actual fireworks operations —this wonderful
event could not happen. If you are one of them, thank you!
We DO need more help. Call either Terry Roeser at American
Family Insurance, 474 -2300, or co -chair Dr. Mike Bothof at
Lifetime Chiropractics, 470 -9962.
