The city of Shoreview is the recipient of a Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association award of excellence for the city’s development of the Shoreview Commons community gathering space. The city’s work was recognized recently by Carrie Anderson of the parks association who presented a plaque to the city council. The MRPA recognizes individuals, agencies, organizations, or institutions for their excellent, outstanding, or unique accomplishments in recreation, parks, leisure services, and the conservation of the environment. Shoreview Commons includes two tennis courts, six pickleball courts, a bus stop, a concrete skatepark, a general skating rink, a grill, a Haffeman Pavilion with 20 picnic tables, a hardcourt/basketball area, a hockey rink a picnic shelter with 2 tables, picnic shelter with three tables, a playground, soccer fields, walking paths, a warming house, and a water fountain. The Award of Excellence is an annual program of the MRPA that was solely created to recognize agencies and their staff for an exemplary project that was either implemented in 2022 or received substantial revision in 2022. The MRPA currently has nearly 900 professional, corporate, board/ commission, student, and retiree members. “Shoreview’s vision, innovation, and dedication has created a true community gathering venue the community can be very proud of,” Anderson said. “From a destination playground and skate park to pavilion rentals in the environmental stewardship woven throughout the project, Shoreview Commons has set the mark as a project that stands out as an outstanding award-winning effort.” The Commons project was nominated for this award by Shoreview’s recreation director Steve Benoit.

The T-6 Thunder flight team is coming back this Fourth of July. The team has performed hundreds of fly-overs for over 20 years at various events in the Twin Cities area, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

T-6 Thunder to fly on the 4th of July BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

The T-6 Thunder flight team will be busy this Fourth of July. “The Fourth of July is crazy,” said Chuck Datko, pilot and founder of T-6 Thunder. “We'll be in Forest Lake, Rice Lake, Wisconsin, Chetek, Wisconsin, flying over Stillwater, and at the parades in Apple Valley and

Chanhassen. Then we polish it off at night in White Bear Lake.” According to Datko, the T-6 aircraft was first introduced in 1940 and built by North American Aviation. There were 22,000 of them built between 1940 and 1945. They were also licensed to be built in Canada. The T-6 Thunder began in 1995 when Datko and another pilot were asked to do a fly-over in a

parade. “We did that, and it was a hit,” Datko said. “Then somebody talked to somebody else and the next thing you know, we had two and then three of them.” Datko organized a group of other T-6 and SNJ (Navy version of the T-6) pilots in the area to fly in formation at airshows and other aviation events in 1996.
