It's served in a brandy snifter. Another cool sip for summer is the iced avocado soup that Jean Claude Tindlilier creates at his St.

Louis Park gourmet takeout shop, Le Petit Chef It's a delish dish. And then there is the cookie "war" being waged downtown by McGlynn Bakeries from its cookie shop in Dayton's and Grandma Gebhard's, the cookie emporium on the skyway in the new First Bank Place. The chocolate chip cookies at both spots are great although my own still are preferred at our house but Grandma Gebhard's oatmeal butterscotch cookie with walnuts is a rare treat. Another is the fresh fruit, such as strawberries, that Dayton's is dipping into white chocolate as a special summer sweet. Finally, Fresh Promise, a food store concept backed by Curt Carlson, opens today in St Louis Park's Miracle Mile Center on Excelsior Blvd.

needs to revive its image as our principal entertainment street is a variety of entertainment activities everything from piano bars to belly dancers. Ralph Rapson, head of the of Minnesota School of Architecture, who was also at the lunch, agreed. He pointed out that inanimate decorations such as metal tree sculptures aren't exciting enough to draw people downtown. (The metal trees have been scrapped, happily). I agree with both of them.

What the city must do before it decorates is find entrepreneurs of entertainment Then it must court them with tax breaks or some inducement to lure them to downtown Hennepin. I0 make the street look better quicker, city officials should consider lining the streetscape with miniature lights as was suggested here recently by Duane Schuler, a lighting designer. Those lights cost $4 to $5 a foot, are encased in waterproof, maintenance-free tubes and last 50 years. The Nankin Cafe's illuminated sign, designed about 52 years ago by the late George Behonek of the Brede has been banned from the City Center facade by Oxford Development Corp. executives.

Davis and the National Park Service 4C Around Minnesota Lending a helping hand Ed Beaupre of Owatonna had a big job on his hands Tuesday.

Allen, Neal St Anthony and Julie Kramer contributed to this article.) J- i 3 Continued from page 1C used the old zip code." People also have forgotten to notify some companies or agencies that they don't deal with regularly. Sherry Schmidt forgot about the water department. The Schmidts have some property in Minneapolis and get quarterly water bills. At least they do now. They missed one bill and didn't know it until the penalty provision for late payment had already gone into effect.

Some of the postal employees suspect that all the return mail hasn't come from oversights and from bulk mailers who ignored the changes. They suspect that a few residents have dug their heels in, so to speak, for snooty reasons. After ail, (Vayzsita and Lake Minnetonka are where the super-rich folk live and play. That might lend some snob appeal to a Wayzata mailing address, or so the theory goes. But no one seems to have any evidence to suggest that the theory is even vaguely accurate.

George Wilson does have some evidence that the post office has contributed to the confusion. He said he tried to change his mailing address oniy to discover that the Internal Revenue Service's computers wouldn't have anything to do with zip code 55447. "It kept changing the zip code to 55441," he said. (Postal officials said tax information and Social Security checks have been delivered regularly even if the mailing addresses were wrong). Wilson said he has had troubles with magazines, too.

"I found out that the new zip code (55447) was not entered into the national zip code directory until this year. The IRS and magazine distributors pnd others program their computers with the national directory, so when it is wrong you've got troubles. My daughter subscribed to a magazine and, after months and months, they finally sent her money back and a letter explaining that their computer wouldn't accept the subscription because of our zip code. "I must say," Wilson added, "that things are getting better now, but do you want to hear something that is still crazy? Well, the mayor and everybody said that one reason for using Plymouth as an address is to help give the town an identity. That's fine, but now you can get mail if it is ad-lrcsscd to Plymouth or Minneapolis if you use the 55 i47 zip code.

"What's funny is swapping Wayzata for Minneapolis. That's a crazy way to build identity, if you ask me." Scottish island for sale Scarp Island, a remote, uninhabited Scottish island of 2,700 acres in the Outer Hebrides, is for sale for the equivalent cf $144,000.

Eventually more than 40 people reserved spots for the weekend. Most were in their 30s and from the Twin Cities area. "We ended up turning away paying guests," Beth Blank said.

"Everybody is very money-conscious this year," she added. "But the appeal of a free vacation four hours of work out of a 24-hour day is not that bad a deal." Hauling debris from the yard, tinkering with the lawn mower, painting, wallpapering and other chores were typical of what Beth Blank termed the "grunt work" to be done. "It's funny what you'll do for somebody else but won't do for yourself," said Sheila Fugina as she brushed a new coat of paint on window trim. "It's taken us three years to do the trim on our house. We'll do this all on one weekend." No one complained about the work; most said it was fun: Linda Nistler-Schnabel and Mary Forner, both of St.

Cloud, volunteered to wallpaper the bathroom in the resort's lake home. After work, they would shop in nearby Grand Marais, making sure to pick up some smoked fish And they'd spend some time just watching Lake Superior, which is "a little wilder" in spring, Nistler-Schnabel said. The next day, she would try working a roto-tiller. "I said I'd do it, and I don't even know how," she said with a giggle. Nathan Shaw, the Minneapolis carpenter, said that if he figured out the payment for his labor by the hour, "I'd be better off staying at home." But the casual pace of the work and the chance to get to know others made it worthwhile.

"I think this'll be the start of ft longstanding tradition," predicted Elena Shaw, who was intrigued by the Blanks' version of bartering. Several others were already making plans to return for another working vacation next spring. The Blanks, who've owned Solbakken (Norwegian for "sunny for 2i2 years, said they couldn't have done alone what their laboring quests accomplished. They said they expect to make the same offer next year. In fact, the idea worked out so well that they're considering using it on some other projects.

A cure for the problems with their pipes and a design for possible expansion of the resort could be accomplished, they said, by a vacationing plumber anJ arcttilect. are scheduled to meet Monday in St. Louis County District Court at Duluth to settle on a price for Little Cranberry Island, which the government seized after Davis erected the first statue and a cabin, i The statue violates park service rules that forbid structures inside the park. In addition, part of the 612 area code around the cities of Arlington, Belle Plaine, Green Isle, Gaylord, Henderson and Le Sueur also was affected.

Although the leak was minor, Larry Race's account continues, his wife insisted on abandoning the boat. With her in the raft and him in the water, they tried paddling to shore.

Somehow they became separated, and Larry Race returned to the boat. He lighted the flares and then was able to restart the boat and drive it to shallow water. He swam to shore and called the sheriffs office. Debbie Race's body was found near shore on the east edge of Duluth, about 19 hours after her husband said she entered the life raft. As part of the investigation, Sertich said, the department is talking to the Races' friends, families and associates.

DFL 'centrist' coalition backs Spannaus, Growe Associated Press A DFL ticket of Warren Spannaus and Joan Growe has been endorsed by the Coalition for a Progressive DFL, a segment of the DFL Party. Spannaus, attorney general, is seeking party endorsement for governor. Secretary of State Growe is seeking endorsement for lieutenant governor but, failing that, will run for reelection.

The group also endorsed Paul Wellstone. a Northfield college professor, for state auditor. Long-distance telephone service to most of south-central and southwestern Minnesota was disrupted for about eight hours Tuesday when a construction crew accidentally cut a telephone cable. The cable was cut at about 7:30 a.m. by a crew digging a hole for a street light along Hwy.

169 in southern Scott County. The accident affected long-distance service to Mankato, Worthington, New Ulm, Waseca, Marshall and Windom plus large areas in the 507 area code around those cities, said Northwestern Bell spokesman John Walker in Minneapolis. Autopsy Continued from Medical examiner Goldschmidt said Debbie Race had no water in her lungs or any marks on her body. He termed the cause of death "immersion hypothermia," meaning the 37-degree water caused a fatal drop in her body temperature. Robert Pozos, an authority on hypothermia at the University of Minne-sota-Duluth, estimated that she might have lost consciousness in about 20 minutes.

Hypothermia causes body functions to slow until the heart stops. Larry Race's account of the evening is as follows: He and his wife went for an evening ride aboard their inboard-outboard craft following a celebration of their 14th wedding anniversary. The boat started leaking and the engine stopped. Debbie Race panicked; she was afraid of the water and couldn't swim. Moreover, she was afraid of the boat because it had sunk the Priest Continued from page leave of absence from the Ave Maria Church of Wheaton, a town of about 2,000 on the South Dakota border.

The 53-year-old priest was described as a well-liked member of the community. Announcement of the charges last month was greeted with "quiet sympathy and concern," one resident said. Monsignor Alphonse Kremer. vicar general of the St. Cloud Diocese, said there would be no decision about Eccleston's future until the priest could state his own views on it.

Kremer said, however, that he thought it unlikely that Eccleston, 53, would return to the diocese. The charges against Eccleston resulted from an investigation by agents of the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension who said several male prostitutes had told of being paid by Eccleston for sex.
