Jordan Jordan: Preserving the past, preparing for the future

Jaycees—Pork in the Park

In 1854, a man settled on a piece of land and built a log house in what was then called Sand Creek, but shortly thereafter became “Jordan.” Jordan’s ﬁrst structures were crude log cabins. These later gave way to modest, but sturdier structures. Often they were made of brick from a local quarry.

Today, Jordan’s downtown area has become an antique shoppers’ paradise, with dealers selling their wares from a variety of buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Stay at the historic Nicolin Inn and Mansion and enjoy all Jordan has to offer. Adding to the nostalgia are the Jordan Brewery and the Feedmill Restaurant. An old-time feed mill in former years, the Feedmill Restaurant still boasts the original wood ﬂoors and an awesome view of Sand Creek, which winds its way along the rear of the restaurant and downtown area. Across the street is the famous Pekarna’s Meat Market.

Scott Carver Threshers Old Time Harvest Festival

Jordan residents are proud of beautiful Lagoon Park. Complete with a year-round running waterfall, the park is located on the edge of the spring-fed Mill Pond. In recent years the city has made many improvements to the park, including wrought iron railings, paved walking and bicycle paths, ﬁshing rocks and pier, a fountain and a beach. The beauty, safety and peaceful atmosphere of this area have made it a favorite recreational spot for Jordan residents. As growth occurs, the people and the Jordan City Council strive to keep the community’s small-town ﬂavor. Jordan honors its history during the annual Heimatfest. These unique celebrations help connect the old and new in Jordan — it’s a great place to visit and an even better place to call home. 181676

until the streets, alleys and parking lots are plowed full width. Exceptions: If you reside on First or Water streets between Mill and Varner streets, an odd/even parking system applies. For residents in these areas, the last digit of the day of the month determines which side of the street you should park on. The ordinance does not take effect until 2 a.m., so if you park your vehicle for the night, make sure you park it on the side of the street it should be on after midnight. Call the Jordan Police Department at 952-492-2009 with questions.

Watering Ban A total watering ban will be in effect every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the restrictions are odd/even. Violators will be cited. There is an exemption for newly seeded or sodded lawns.

Snowmobiles can only be used between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Any operation may only be on the right-hand side of such street or highway and in the same direction as the highway traffic on the nearest land of the roadway adjacent thereto. For complete rules and ordinances regarding snowmobile operation, contact Jordan City Hall at 952-492-2535.

Scott County

s Scott County continues to lead the state in population growth, progress is evident throughout the community. Over the last several years, Scott County has managed to keep its budget in check while still investing in its residents’ future: from the acquisition of new parks and green spaces to developing highly successful transit partnerships (the BlueXpress commuter line and the SmartLink transit cooperative), from the construction of two new mixed-use library facilities to installing a high-tech fiber optic ring, Scott County is truly committed to its new vision: “Where individuals, families, and businesses thrive.” Residents are encouraged to keep current on County news through viewing Board meetings (available online in “real time” and on-demand), visiting the website (www. co.scott.mn.us), tuning in to local government access cable for meeting coverage and other programming, and reading the award-winning resident newsletter (The Scott County SCENE). In addition, you can become more directly involved by volunteering with various community groups, serving on a citizen advisory committee, or by attending County board meetings and workshops, which are held on most Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. (please visit the website for up-to-date schedule information).

These are products normally used in cleaning, home improvement projects, automobile maintenance, lawn and garden care, hobbies, and a variety of other tasks. They might include paint, varnish, pesticides, household cleaning chemicals, solvents, fuels, wood stain or preservatives, rechargeable batteries, aerosol cans, fluorescent lamps (including tubes and CFLs), mercury thermostats or thermometers, automotive chemicals or batteries, appliances, electronics, tires, as well as any other household products that are fl ammable, corrosive, reactive or poisonous. Each year, thousands of Americans are injured or poisoned through incidents involving hazardous household products. Minimizing the amount of hazardous chemicals stored in your home is always a good idea for the sake of your family’s safety.

The Scott County HHW Facility will accept a variety of hazardous materials from Scott County residents. Many of these items are accepted at no charge — visit www.co.scott. mn.us/HHW for details. Please bring a check or cash for those chargeable items, since credit cards are not currently accepted. The facility is located at 588 Country Trail East (Highway 282) in Spring Lake Township, one-half mile west of the intersection of Highways 13 and 282, and County Road 17. The HHW Facility is open at the following times: Wednesday: noon to 6 p.m. Thursday: noon to 4 p.m. Saturday: 8 a.m. to noon (Note: The RE-USE Room closes 15 minutes earlier) The HHW Facility will be CLOSED for major holiday weekends, including Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, as well as the period between Christmas and New Year's. The RE-USE Room is fi lled with a variety of good usable products, including paint, stain, varnish, thinner, putty, adhesives, household chemicals, yard and garden chemicals, automotive chemicals, electronics, etc., and all of these items are available for FREE (to anyone over the age of 18)! A trip to the RE-USE Room as you plan your next home improvement or craft project could certainly save you some money! Reduce the amount of HHW your family produces by practicing “Smart Shopping.” Measure carefully, buy only what you need, and then use what you buy. Store any leftovers carefully, and protect from freezing, so that they will remain usable. Please note: The HHW Facility can not accept automotive chemicals in containers larger than 2½ gallons in size (fluids such as gas, oil, or antifreeze). Other unacceptable items include: household garbage, unknown materials, business waste (call for an appointment), radioactive items or sharps (needles). Regular alkaline batteries can be thrown in your household trash.
