Printed In November 1987, the QTY OF CENTERVlUE. NEWSLETTER #87-1, was typed on bath sides of a sheet of paper, copied on the photocopier and mailed to Centerville residentS from City Hall, which was then located at 1694 Sorel Street. The newsletter Included meeting dates; an announcement that on October 14, 1987, the CIty Coundl voted to order the municipal water system, far direct use by the L'AIlier Estates II and Centerville Heights developments; various updates on new developments; dog license fees; re- quest for volunteers at the hockey rink; announcement of Greg Weiss as the new owner of Kelly's Bar, and the name change to Greg's Centerville Lounge; request for more firefighters; Anoka County Traveler.beglns services; sewer billing update; and a re- quest for residentS to serve on the School Bus Task Force.

Whatever your traditional resolutions might be, per- haps extending kindness to your neighbor, a shut-in, even someone you don't know might be something to consider this year. Last year, Michael Zwicki, a new resident of Centerville, as well as Anoka County and a new paraplegic as of Christmas Eve 1998, requested help from the City. He and. his wife built a handicap accessible home on Meadow Court, how- ever, the deep dip In his driveway prevented him from safely leaving his yard in his electric wheelchair. ArrangementS were made with Tri-State Bobcat to donate a curb-milling machine, Centerville Redi Mix provided asphalt and some staff mem- bers provided the labor to provide safe access for Mr. Zwick! to leave his yard and do something as simple as retrieve his mail. As I was told last year by someone I didn't know, "We have to watch out far one another." How true that is. Volunteer your time/talent; contribute to the food shelf; help a neighbor with yard work; bring a meal or a gift certificate to a single mom or dad.. ...Some people . who need help don't ask.....take it upon yourself to offer assistance. And that falks, is just my point of ~I
