S taving �'+It off$ .0 i THE SHORE REPORT/ NOVEMBER 1999 2 In Those Days Recorded from the memories of the first Mayor of the Village of Shorewood, Mr. W. Dudley Kendrick. These thoughts are from Excelsior Township days (pre- 1950's). M R. KENDRICK REMEMBERED the regular Township meetings, which were held in the various board members homes, as basically noncon- troversial. He said, "Very rarely were there any uproars in meetings where somebody became demanding, al- though, once in a while there would get to be a contest." He looks back at the annual Town Meetings as being the closest thing to a democracy we could possibly have. They were held in the basement of the Masonic Temple in the Village of Ex- celsior. All the books were laid out on the big table. People could come in and see the money that had been spent and what it was spent for. Everyone talked about those things and people would sit down and stay. If someone thought a certain road must be repaired, everyone would discuss the issue right there. Anybody in the township came. As Mr. Kendrick said, that's true de- mocracy where people decided what could and could not be done. For ex- ample, if the Township wanted to buy a truck and people said they couldn't af- ford it, the truck was not purchased. "This is where the people made the decisions. Now days we give our au- thority to somebody else and then they make their decision."

This should change dramatically the quality of reception by all subscribers as well as the channel capacity and line -up We recently approved the transfer of owner- ship of Triax Cablevision to Mediacom LLC. We are told the completed transaction should be done around November 1999. We were also assured that this transfer will not effect the completion date of the rebuild. We look forward to working with Mediacom LLC.

Producer of the Quarter Sindi Dossett recently completed training in television production at the LMCC and embarked on an ambitious series of pro- grams including 'Buckhorn Days ", 'Apple Days" and "Hostas ". Sindi is new to public access television and already she is one of our more prolific producers — deserving of the title of Producer of the Quarter. Sindi is also one of the first producers to take advan- tage of the LMCC Talent Bank.

Jhannie's entry, entitled Peace -Ful Hell received recognition in the Walker's tenth anniver- sary showcase. The annual juried showcase awards the most innovative and accomplished work by independent artists in a four -state area. Peace -Ful Hell, a music video, is about the reaper who is the conductor of a band 'just out rocking ". FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR'S DESK ... The recent NATOA and MACTA Conferences focused very heavily on the debate concerning local franchising authori- ties to require cable operators to open their broadband networks to competing internet service providers. It is an issue the LMCC will be following closely as there have been sub- scriber requests to obtain internet via cable. The LMCC informs the cable company of these requests. Another critical topic at both confer- ences is one that will require action by not only the LMCC but all entities who support local franchising authority and Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) access television. Bills introduced by Senator Steve Kelley, S.F. 1647 /H.F. 2165 and S.F. 2133/H.F 2137 would dramatically change telecom regulation in the state and potentially elimi- nate local cable franchising. The LMCC has contributed to the lobbying efforts of MACTA (Minnesota Association of Community Telecommunications Administrators) to stop this legislation. The League of Minnesota Cities has initiated a Telecommunications Task Force to look at these issues. The LMCC will be informing the cities, legislators and state officials on the position MACTA is taking and what actions are recommended. The LMCC has invited Senator Kelley to the November 16 Full Commission meeting to provide the Senator an opportunity to see an acting commission in operation and serv- ing the subscribers and cities it represents.
