Become a Shorewood Election
ity of Shorewood is recruiting election judges
for the 2018 elections. Judges are temporary,
paid employees of local election officials trained
to handle all aspects of voting at the polling place.
Judges will be needed for the primary election in
August and the general election in November.
Judges are not required to work both elections.
Student election judges, age 16 -17, are also
encouraged to apply. For student information, see
the city website under Elections.
Being an election judge can be both interesting
and rewarding. Positions are paid, training is
provided, and you can learn about how the election
process works.
To be an election judge you must:
• Be eligible to vote
• Be able to read, write and speak English
Minnesota Caucuses
NOTE. The February planning commission meeting
will be held February 20 to eliminate interference
with 2018 Caucus meetings.
Precinct caucuses are meetings organized by
Minnesota's political parties. It is the first step
for the party to select candidates and choose the
party's goals and values (called the party platform).
This year, caucuses for the major and some
minor parties are being held Tuesday, February 6, 7
p.m.. To find out where your caucus is located, use
the caucus finder tool (found on the city website),
or contact your political party.
Precinct caucuses are open to the public. But
in order to vote, offer resolutions, or become a
delegate, you must:
• Be eligible to vote in the fall election.
• Live in the precinct.
• Be in general agreementwith the principles of the
political party (Minnesota does not have an official
party registration process).
Judge
Attend a required training session
Declare your party affiliation (state law requires
this to make sure that no more than half of
the election judges at a polling place are from
any one party)
The following are not eligible:
• A spouse, parent, child or sibling of another
election judge at the same polling place
• A candidate in the election
• A person domiciled with a candidate on the ballot
To apply for a Shorewood position, please go
to the city webiste under Elections to fill out an
online application, fill an application out in person
at city hall, or call the city at 952.960.7900 to get
additional information.

Elections on the city website.

Reduce Waste
en considering the three Rs
(Reduce, Reuse, Recycle),
reducing your waste in the first
place before reusing and recycling
is the most important step you can
take to being more environmentally
friendly. But unfortunately, it's often
the hardest one to accomplish.
Although it does take some self -
control and planning, it can be
done. A good first step toward
lowering your waste is refusing
items you don't need.
Consider the costs of free
"Freebies," "swag," or "giveaways"
are usually small, innocent items
given to you at a fair, conference,
event, or in daily life. It's typically
something used for promoting a
business or as a reward. Maybe
you spun the wheel and won a pair
of sunglasses. Or you got a towel
at the sports game to cheer on
your team. Accepted without much
City Photo Cc

February 2018

7 a.m. on recycling day. Mainland resi-
dents recycle February 7 and 21; Islands
recycle February 8 and 22.

by Rethinking
thought, these items add to clutter
in your home and are most likely
thrown in the trash before long.
Learning to refust
Think of some of the items
you've been handed or picked up
lately.
• Pens and pencils
• Toys and trinkets (key chains,
frisbees, stress balls, cell phone
accessories)
• Reusable bags or water bottles
(Are they high quality? Do you
really need another one ?)
• T- shirts and handkerchiefs
• Flyers or handouts
Sometimes you take these items
with good intentions to use them.
Other times you don't even want
them. Even if you can recycle or
compost your freebie, it doesn't
make sense to accept it just to
throw it out!
Refusing soon -to -be waste

Photo Contest Rules and
C;i iirlalinac•
• Entrants must live, work, or
attend school in Shorewood
• Photos must be taken
in Shorewood between
September 1, 2017 and
February 16, 2018.
• Each photo entry must include
photographer's name, address,
phone number, and email

intended category and title of
the photo
• Photo submissions with
professional logos or
watermarks will not be
considered
• Photos must be submitted to
cityhall @ci.shorewood.mn.us.
Files must be less than 2 MB
Freebies
requires a mindset shift — try to
think ahead instead of just in
the moment. Ask yourself these
questions when presented with a
freebie:
• Is it useful? Will I actually use it?
• Will I still want this in a month or
two? Will it last that long?
• Will I regret it if I don't take this?
If the answer is no to any of these
questions, respond with a "no
thank you!" and keep on moving.
You won't hurt anyone's feelings.
If the swag is prepared for you in
advance, like a race bag, consider
emailing the event organizers to
let them know you'd like an option
next time.
Make a habit of acting on your
values. Being intentional about
what you consume is a part of
living a lower -waste lifestyle, and
learning to say "no" is an important
step.

making it easy to go green.
To Get Started
1. Sign up today with Xcel energy at https : / /tinyurl.com /CleanShorewood.
2. Choose how much you want: one 100 kilowatt -hour block of renewable energy is enough to power all the lights in

and incandescent bulbs)
