INDEPENDENT COUNTY LEADERSHIP

2 votes against Shelton Wagner, Menden come up 1 vote shy of firing county administrator

New windows for the Hub of Jordan

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

T

he historic Hub of Jordan building had new upstairs windows installed last week.

The new glass, made possible in part by a $7,500 downtown revitalization grant from the city of Jordan, is only one of many updates for the building, owned by Kim and Linda Hanner.

Work on installing the historic-style and more energy efficient windows started Tuesday, Dec. 27 and continued through the week.

Just to prepare for the windows, Kim had to replace 250-pound stone sills below the glass – 14 of them – a project he worked on over the summer.

“It was a huge job,” Kim said.

The windows had been in rough shape. Half of them had been missing before last week, he said.

“Very excited,” Kim said about the new windows. “It lets a lot of light in.”

Mark Moonen, window installer with J&J Glass and Glazing, Inc., out of Delano, said the windows are tall, and that the building owners spent extra money to buy windows with an historic-looking grid pattern, instead of using only one piece of glass per window. The frames are also painted instead of anodized, which enhances the look.

“It costs the building owner a bit more but it looks better,” said Moonen, after stepping off a lift he stood on to do installation work.

The windows should also save on the heating bill. The old ones had weights in them that allowed them to be opened without a herculean effort, a feature common in the past. But the weights, located in the sides, also needed open space to move, which was not energy efficient.

COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS

Mayor can’t get onto EDA

Jordan graduates return to share wisdom gleaned from moving on and growing up

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

It’s one thing to hear a parent lecture about good decisions, and quite another to hear it from someone just a year or two older.

Jordan High School seniors got a chance to hear about what college has been like for 13 graduates who returned home for a forum in their former high school on Dec. 22.

“My experience so far: I’ve loved it,” said Matt Timmons, a firstyear student at Gustavus Adolphus College.

Annual Give Where You Live campaign runs through Jan. 31 The Scott Carver Dakota Community Action Partnership’s annual Give Where You Live campaign, with a goal of raising $1 million for the agency, ends Jan. 31.

The Give Where You Live campaign has been the agency’s primary fund-raising mechanism for the past severa l years. This year, the CA P Agency is looking to gain momentum by taking

the campaign online through GiveMN.org, which is a fundraising tool where donors a re encou raged to “click, contribute, and change your world.�

The CAP Agency is encouraging people to go online to make a donation. Those who prefer to not donate online can send checks to: CAP Agency, 712 Canterbury Road S., Shakopee, MN 55379.

“We are very excited about this year’s Give Where You Live Campaign,� said Rebecca Bowers, vice president of Fund Development. “We have seen a dramatic increase in need this past year and it is necessary to grow our fundraising to accommodate for this rising need.�

For other ways to support the CA P Agency, go to capagency.org.

COUNCIL

“I’ve accomplished some things,� Boncher said, adding that other people have other ideas they can share.

But no one was choosing to replace him. “W hat? C’mon. Nobody else? � Boncher said. “Fine.

If no one else wants it, I’ll take it.�

“I’m kind of stuck with that one,� he joked.

Ewals noted that he also meets with his own mayors association. “ E ve r y mor n i n g wh e n you’re brushing your teeth?�

Thill deadpanned.

No, Ewals said, the Scott County mayors meet together on occasion.

continued from page 1

During the first meeting each year, councilmembers routinely receive advisory committee assignments, but this council’s routine has become engaged political discussions about every appointment, especially the planning commission. This is the second time that the council, rather than the mayor, has given out councilmembers’ committee assignments.

DEVELOPMENT Ewals and Councilmember Thom Boncher requested to be on the Jordan Economic Development Authority (EDA). “I’d like to jump ship and go onto the EDA,� Ewals said of the planning commission, which recently gained two new members via a disputed process. “It’s something I haven’t done yet.�

But neither of the council liaisons to the EDA wanted to give up their seats.

Since the last council appointment flare-up, which was a year ago, the mayor lost all but his power to appoint EDA members. He could’ve unilaterally appointed himself, if he so chose. “I have no interest whatsoever in getting off the EDA,�

Cou nci l member Joe T hi l l said, describing a cohesive g roup that has hand ful of projects forthcoming. “It’s moving along, whether you agree with it or not. ‌ The machine’s starting to get churning here.â€?

Councilmember Tanya Velishek said she’s dedicated a lot of time to the EDA, including attending local business organization’s meetings. Boncher felt prompted to withdraw his request to be on the EDA, “given Councilmember Velishek feels so strongly,� he said.

Velishek said she wants to fi nish the good work that began during her time on the commission. “I’d like to be on the EDA for one year,� Ewals said. “I don’t think that’s too much to ask.� “You can certainly ask, and you’ve done that,� Thill said without changing his mind.

Ewa ls said he wants to serve in every possible city capacity, in order to develop a well-rounded approach to city government.

He also said he has more busi ness experience t ha n Velishek, a statement to which she took exception. Then, she pointed out her dedication to committee work. Ewals twice apologized.

Councilmember Jeremy Goebel commented about the rarity of councilmembers arguing about who gets to sit on the EDA. That wasn’t the case in past years. “This is nice – everyone fighting for business in Jordan,� Goebel said. “I tried forever to get on the park board.�

PARKS Boncher tried to leave the park board on Monday, saying that it’s time for someone else to serve on the commission. “You don’t want to continue your work?� Velishek said.

PLANNING Boncher also said he would serve on the planning commission if he must, before Schultz volunteered to fill Ewals’ seat.

Schultz, a 16-year veteran of the council, will serve her first year on the planning commission. “I’m not planning on staying on there, because I’ve been there long enough,� Ewals said.

The mayor tried to make the argument for a critic of the planning commission to take a seat on the board.

While Ewals thought that the city had in the past built another cohesive group that did a good job, the council criticized the planning commission to the point of resignation. “The council gave them a no-confidence vote, and they quit,� Ewals said.

He added: “The EDA has been divorced of anything the planning commission has been doing.�

Thill, though, said that the problem had been solved with a simple request that city staff apprise the EDA of the planning commission’s actions.

PUBLIC SAFETY Councilmember Mike Shaw replaced Boncher on the public safety committee, rejoining a committee a fter a shor t absence.

He did get the correct answer to one a l l-impor tant question: “Do they still have doughnuts?� Yes.

TRANSIT Thill accepted his continued assignment on the Scott County transit board.

Goebel reluctantly serves as the alternate, “because I ride the bus. I’m the only one up here who has ever ridden a bus.�

Thill said serving on a regional transit board is frustrating.

Then, he turned to Goebel and said: “I’m trying to get a bus stop for you.�

SCALE T hi l l is ada ma nt about hi s i nvolvement wit h t he Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE).

He said he’s serving on the executive board, working his way toward chairman in a couple of years.

Boncher replaced Ewals on the board.

MAYORAL DUTIES Shaw will again serve as the city’s acting mayor if Ewals can’t run the meetings, and Councilmember Tanya Velishek will fill the void if neither the mayor nor Shaw is available.

No one can replace Ewals at the Minnesota Mayors Association meetings, though.

OTHER APPOINTMENTS Elected officials serve as council liaisons to more than 15 advisory groups affi liated with the city or other local governments.

“I’m aware, Commissioner Wagner, that you got yourself involved in a criminal investigation … and you interjected yourself improperly into a situation and you somehow came to believe that the administrator was behind this and wasn’t protecting you,” Ulrich told Wagner, referring to a child injury case that involved Wagner’s relative.

“This is absolutely offensive what you’re saying to me,” Wagner responded.

“It’s offensive what you’re doing,” Ulrich said.

Wagner, who was hoping for a third vote from Wolf, made the motion to terminate Shelton without providing any rationale, although he asked Employee Relations Director Jack Kemme to explain the process for termination within Shelton’s contract.

Shelton may demand written charges and a public hearing, Kemme told the board.

Menden – a former county sheri f f who acknowledged during his campaign to having differences with Shelton – was also short on specifics, although he stated he’s long had trust issues with Shelton.

Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, Wagner was fairly tight-lipped, although he called Shelton a bully and made an issue of remarks Shelton has made about a side business he owns.

“All I’m going to say is it’s time for a change,” Wagner said after Ulrich attacked him during Tuesday’s meeting.

Ulrich, who made dozens of calls to leaders throughout Scott County in recent weeks to gather support for Shelton, said he talked with around 60 elected or high officials and “without exception they were shocked, dismayed and pretty angry about this course of action.”

Wagner responded that none of them work with Shelton.

“Yes, they do,” Ulrich said.

“Not like we do,” Wagner said.

It appears those calls may have persuaded Wolf.

But Wolf stayed out of the ruckus during Tuesday’s discussion. Wagner rolled his head back when he heard Wolf say nay along with Marschall and Ulrich.

Menden, who previously worked with Shelton at the county jail, seconded Wagner’s motion. He said that at home he has a list of 20 grievances against the county administrator.

“There is no trust there. I’m always watching my back when he comes up with things,” Menden said. “There’s a whole list of things I prefer not to bring up. I would just feel a lot more

Ulrich questioned why Menden rated Shelton positively during a fall performance review. Mended responded that he gave Shelton a couple zeros, but rated him highly in the knowledge category because Shelton is “very knowledgeable.”

Ahead of Tuesday’s meeting, Wagner said he’s had a long history of disagreements with Shelton and it all “boiled to a head” a few weeks ago.

He told Shelton he no longer wanted him as county administrator during a contentious chair/vice-chair meeting with Shelton and the County Attorney Pat Ciliberto.

Marschall asked Kemme on Tuesday for a brief overview of Shelton’s last performance review. She said Shelton is keeping the budget on target and taxes in line, and the county can’t afford the costs associated with terminating him and fi nding a replacement.

“And who would we get as an administrator that is better than he?” she asked, adding that none of the administrators she knows from other counties could do a better job.

If Menden has a list of grievances, Ulrich said he should bring it out.

“If it’s going to be all personal stuff, we’re here to represent the public,” Ulrich said.

“If we got a personal feeling, get over it.”

“Some is personal, I’ll admit,” Menden said, “when he tries to do everything possible so you don’t get elected. The rest is business and ethical.”

Ulrich said Menden alleged Shelton helped former Commissioner Jerry Hennen’s re-election bid. He encouraged Menden to speak with Hennen, who told Ulrich that Shelton had stayed neutral during the election. Menden defeated incumbent Hennen a year ago.

Menden said he has spoken to Hennen several times, including just the other night.

Wolf was evasive following the meeting. But after re peated questioning following the meeting, Wolf admitted to a reporter that he also had considered terminating Shelton.

“I didn’t feel there was enough to oust him,” he said.

Wolf acknowledged he was concerned about Shelton’s ownership of Midwest Monitoring, a corrections technology company that Shelton sold to SecureAlert, while retaining temporary managerial responsibilities. He is the general manager until September.

Wolf said he was satisfied with Shelton’s explanation that he does not work for the company on county time.

Shelton, who i s widely known to have owned Midwest Monitoring, told the newspaper that it is written into his

Shelton said he only works for SecureAlert on weekends and evenings. He also said he is required to disclose stocks and personal financial interests as a county administrator.

Wagner told a reporter that he doesn’t like how Shelton brags about his outside business. He said in the past Shelton has remarked that he paid cash for his Lexus.

Wag ner said he became really upset when Shelton mentioned during a recent truth-in-taxation hearing how much his home was worth.

Shelton discussed how his taxes were fluctuating when a resident with a similarly valued property mentioned how much his taxes were rising.

He said he believes Shelton did this just to irk him, knowing Wagner wouldn’t have the votes to terminate him.

Wagner said he believes Shelton was a good fit under former Administrator Dave Unmacht because the two played “bad cop, good cop” but also said he was never comfortable with Shelton becoming the lead administrator. He voted against hiring Shelton in 2009, at the time saying he wanted the county to open the position to outside applicants.

Shelton has declined to comment on Wagner’s rationale for wanting to fi re him, only saying he could speculate as to why.

Ulrich claimed during the board meeting that Wagner is upset Shelton didn’t protect him in regards to an investigation into his involvement in a criminal investigation.

Shelton “said, ‘Hands off and let it play out,’” Ulrich said.

Wagner, although unhappy with how Shelton handled the matter, said it had nothing to do with his decision to seek Shelton’s removal.

“I’m uncomfortable with his style of leadership – things of that nature,” Wagner said.

The Sand Creek Township mortician and apple farmer said he told Shelton during the chair/vice-chair meeting a few weeks ago. He mentioned that it was Wolf, though, who did a lot of the shouting.

“Believe me, this is not a sneak attack,” Wagner said. “I would love to go on a 15 minute little tirade about him. I would love to air my laundry in regards to him, the irritations I’ve had for 12, 13 years.”

Wolf, who was part of the meeting a few weeks ago, declined to comment much on the matter, citing it as a personnel issue. However, he said before Tuesday’s meeting that he did not plan to second Wagner’s motion.

“He can do what he wants,” Wolf said of Wagner.

SCOTT COUNTY BOARD

2012 levy frozen, but many to see tax hikes

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

A favorable labor contract with Scott County’s largest union enabled county commissioners on Tuesday to freeze the county’s property tax levy for 2012; however, this move won’t spare some businesses and farmers from eye-popping tax increases due to state changes.

County Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee heard from one commercial property owner whose taxes are set to go up $11,000 and another whose tax will rise by $5,500.

“They are such hard-working people and good people,” Menden said. “We try to get these small businesses to hire people.

To me it’s a joke, we keep nailing them. It’s not necessarily us, but a lot of what the state did.”

In addition to approving a f lat 2012 levy of $ 60.5 million, the county on Tuesday ratified two-year labor contacts with three of its nine unions.

Agreements were reached with AFSCME (the largest), 49ers and correctional staff, which along with non-bargaining staff make up 86 percent of the county’s labor force.

No gener a l r a i s e s wer e awarded for either 2012 or 2013, but employees will be eligible for small merit pay increases.

T hey can ea r n one -ti me lump sums equivalent to onequarter to 1 percent of their salaries for 2012. Depending on the outcome of performance reviews, bonuses could total around $200,000.

The following year, members of the three affected unions will be eligible for a one-half to 4 percent adjustment to their base salary, depending on performance.

Employees who don’t meet general per formance goals won’t be eligible for any raise.

S c ot t C ou nt y i s u n ique among public employers for its merit pay system. It has contracts to negotiate with another six unions, the largest being the sheriff’s deputies.

MORE TAXES FOR SOME The county’s tax levy was f lat in 2010 and went up 1.6 percent this year, which was absorbed by new property in the county, noted County Board Chair Tom Wolf of Credit River Township.

An increase of 0.9 percent was budgeted for 2012, with additional funding directed toward a reserve and capital account to cover unknowns in state funding and labor con-

tracts, said Kevin Ellsworth, the county’s fi nance head.

A projected state surplus now means the county likely won’t face an emergency unallotment or deeper aid cuts than anticipated, Ellsworth said.

Wolf — who legally had to abstain from voting Tuesday because he was on sedatives following foot surgery — said he went to the county administrator a couple weeks ago because he was uncomfortable with a tax increase of 0.9 percent.

Even with a f lat levy, 45 percent of residents will pay $60 or more extra next year to the county (although 20 percent less now fall into this category).

Nearly half will have a tax increase less than $ 60. The county bill will shrink for approximately 6 percent.

The state cut $1.3 million in program aid from the county that used to directly subsidize the local property tax levy.

In addition, the state eliminated the homestead property tax credit, but to soften the blow to lower-valued homes, pushed more of the tax burden onto businesses, farmers and higher-priced homes.

A d d it io n a l ly, t h e s t at e has an automatic infl ator in its portion of the business property tax, explained Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton.

At the Dec. 1 taxation hearing, the County Board heard from a Sand Creek Township farmer who expected a 38 percent tax increase and a New Market Township resident facing a 20 percent jump.

“It’s the mechanism of the tax system that is shifting the burden of tax,” explained Ellsworth.

“One bright spot,” said Ellsworth, is the county’s unemployment shrunk from 7 percent in January 2011 to 5 percent in October. It is trending closer to the 3 percent figure of before 2008, he said.

GOING INTO 2012

“We reorganized some of our divisions, flattened the organization, moving five divisions into two,” Ellsworth said. “Our resource-sharing continues to grow. We’ve updated portions of our components of our management plan — that’s a huge part of moving our organization forward for performance management, for st rategic budgeting.”

As part of continued belttightening, 17 county positions will be eliminated in 2012 — eight via layoffs, five through voluntary retirements and four from the elimination of vacant posts.

In 2012, the county will look for ways to reduce technology purchases through a metro-wide pool, Ellsworth said, and continue to explore a 911 dispatching merger with Carver County. The Sheriff’s Office has already put off some software purchases due to the possible merger.

There’s also been talk of merging the two jails if the dispatchers can successfully be combined.

But as the county organization gets slimmer, it may also look at adjusting the salaries for certain positions, such as top-level prosecutors and information technology specialists, due to competition in the marketplace for those skills, according to managers.

The county also has hired a half-time economic development director and is ramping up efforts to further business growth through partnerships with the regional Itasca Project and other local governments through the Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency.

On Tuesday, Scott County Attorney Pat Ciliberto — who sued the county for denying raises for him and top prosecutors — asked the county to conduct a market pay analysis for his staff, although he is not asking for a raise for himself.

Earlier this year, a county judge ordered him a raise, but not one for his top staff.

Scott County Sheriff Studnicka was also ordered a raise for this year, although he’s also not requesting one either for 2012.

The Optometric View

by Dr. Vicki Luehmann (Borowicz) SENIOR DRIVERS’ AWARENESS OF CHANGING LIGHTS Older drivers ought to do everything they can to improve their situational awareness and reaction time. Any effort to hold on to a driver’s license and maintain a safe driving record should include regular eye exams, which can help seniors assess the development of cataracts and any effect they may have. The lens clouding associated with cataracts makes it more likely that seniors will experience problems with “contrast sensitivity.” Cataracts create contrast sensitivity limitations by scattering light before it hits the retina, making it seem as though one were looking through dirty glasses. With this in mind, it is in their best interest for seniors to have their eyes checked annually, especially if changes in vision are evident.

If you or someone you know needs an eye exam call us at (952) 492-2350 today! Every patient is offered an eye exam in a friendly and professional environment. It is important to maintain a level of ocular health. Our optometrist is able to provide top quality care to all patients including those with glaucoma, diabetes, and cataracts. We are located at 223 E. First Street, Suite 101, and hope to see you soon!

P.S. Cataracts can inhibit seniors’ driving ability by increasing sensitivity to glare.

Congratulations to our newly elected officials Congratulations to the Jordan School Board members who will take oaths of office this month.

It appears that the board will be under new leadership, and it will be interesting to see how they go about their business.

Either Joe Benko or Robert Vollbrecht, it seems, is in line to be nominated as the new chairman of the board.

Both have taken controversial stances on various issues, but they also seem invigorated by the possibilities for the future of our beloved district.

Newly elected members Caroline Carritt and Lauren Pedersen will join the rest of an ambitious school board that includes Deb Pauly, Dan Buresh and Sandy Burke, as well as Benko and Vollbrecht.

We will miss Scott Erickson and Tammy Will, who served admirably.

Losing Will and Erickson, who each decided against seeking re-election, will be big losses.

Buresh has said he will not seek his peers’ support for more time as chairman. We will miss Buresh in the chairman’s role.

Adding two new faces is a big change at a critical time for the school district as it has some major issues to decide.

But Vollbrecht, re-elected last November, was appointed more than

a year ago partly because he had previously served on the board for eight years.

His experience, plus that of the remainder of the board, will be an asset as it tackles tough questions, such as what to do about the rebuilding or replacing the middle school building and when to ask for a referendum (and how much for which to ask).

There are big shoes to be filled by a new chairman, and there are big shoes to fi ll in the other school board seats.

Have confidence that the board will come up with what is best for our students, as they usually do.

Best wishes to our new school representatives.

And congratulations to all who sought to serve on the school board.

Voters were indeed fortunate to have some excellent candidates from which to choose, and they are fortunate to have hardworking, caring, intelligent board members in charge in 2012.

Our New Year’s wish: Renewed energy, spirit The New Year’s and Christmas holiday season is a time for reflection, good will and hope. It is the dawning of a new year, bringing with it hopes and expectations for what is to come.

It is during this season when the best comes out of most people, when we witness a glimpse of the world as we wish it were year round.

The world – indeed, life itself – is full of good and bad, and after experiencing a proliferation of good during the holidays, we naturally anticipate the good will for the whole year ahead. But just as children face disappointment when holidays are over for another year, we all fi nd too often that the special season’s spirit slips away from us.

Perhaps we all can make strides to change that, by making a point to help others throughout the year, especially when so many of our friends and neighbors are in financial straits.

Think of how much better our world would be if we did so.

Times are tough for many of us, but we are not alone. Many nations in the world are in far more dire situations economically than the United States.

And people in many countries in the

world can only dream of having the standard of living we enjoy in this country.

We’re not trying to diminish the plight of our friends and neighbors who are living on a reduced income these days, but there are a surprising – perhaps shocking – number of people in Scott and Carver counties that have no place to live, and many don’t have access to food, clothing and medical care.

May volunteers and service providers continue making a huge difference in the lives of so many of our neighbors.

And, valued readers, as we have entered 2012, may you enjoy friends and family, share with those less fortunate, reflect on what good fortune is yours, and renew your energy and spirit for the year ahead.

Borrowing and building in Minnesota

BY CONRAD DEFIEBRE

In these days of sovereign debt crises stretching from Athens to Washington, some may consider more public borrowing a fast road to ruin. But it ain’t necessarily so.

Boasting one of the nation’s lightest debt loads, Minnesota is ideally positioned to pump up its economic recovery with longterm capital investment in public facilities. With nearly $2 billion in general obligation borrowing capacity and record low bond interest rates below 3 percent, the state has an unprecedented opportunity to repair aging infrastructure, increase productive capacity and get thousands of construction workers off the jobless rolls.

It should be the Legislature’s top priority this year, enacted early in the session that begins Jan. 24.

That way, many of the projects could get underway during the 2012 construction season, helping to restore the more than 40,000 Minnesota construction jobs that have dried up since 2006.

“We’re by far the most depressed industry sector,” said Kyle Makarios of the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters. “We have 3 percent of the employment, but onequarter of the unemployment. You can’t focus on jobs without focusing on the construction industry.”

Once upon a time, borrowing for infrastructure wasn’t a partisan issue. Conservatives and progressives alike proclaimed the economic and quality-of-life benefits of excellent public facilities from Interstate highways to state college campuses.

Over the past 20 years or so, these investments suffered collateral damage in right-wing antigovernment campaigns. But now there are signs of a change for the better.

Congressional conservatives have backed off from their former resolve to cut federal transportation funding by one-third. New Jersey Gov. Chris

Christie, who famously scuttled a Hudson River transit tunnel project, recently called for several billion dollars in borrowing for transportation projects, even though his state ranks third highest in the nation in total debt.

Another conservative icon, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, turbocharged public infrastructure spending with the help of a $3.8 billion lease of the Indiana Toll Road to private investors. “The provision and upkeep of first-rate public infrastructure is a core duty of any responsible government, clearly within the sphere of government’s legitimate purposes,” he wrote in “Keeping the Republic,” his book published in September.

Virginia’s conservative Gov. Bob McDonnell has proclaimed that in 2011 he “put the most new funding into roads and rail in the state in 25 years” – a $4 billion program enacted “with broad bipartisan support.”

It featured $2.9 billion in bonding.

“Transportation and economic development and prosperity are inextricably linked,” he said.

Even in deep-red Wyoming, Gov. Matt Mead urged more than doubling state capital construction projects next year. “This budget recommends investment in the programs that create opportunities — education, construction, highways, cities, towns and counties,” he told the Legislature last month.

You don’t have to take these conservatives’ word for the benefits of public capital investment.

Economists at Moody’s have estimated that each dollar of new government infrastructure spending generates $1.59 of increased gross output.

This is a greater return on investment than for any other economic stimulus effort except extended unemployment benefits and increased food stamps. It even beats payroll tax holidays, and it’s five times more effective than wasteful strategies like cutting corporate taxes, accelerating

business depreciation or making the Bush income tax cuts permanent, Moody’s says.

Minnesota can no longer expect economic stimulus from Washington. We also have the second-lowest rate of regular federal spending among the states, 20 percent below the national average.

Since tax and user fee increases are off the table for the foreseeable future in Minnesota, prudent borrowing for durable public goods will point our way forward.

Fortunately, we have the stellar credit rating and fiscal strength to do this.

Minnesota’s state bonding debt of $6 billion — not to be confused with our biennial deficit — is well within stringent borrowing guidelines adopted under former Gov. Tim Pawlenty. It’s proportionally onethird that of New Jersey, half that of Indiana, Virginia and the U.S. average, less even than Wyoming’s, according to the Congressional Research Service’s March 2011 report.

Along with its enviable borrowing capacity, Minnesota has strong standards to ensure that state borrowing isn’t wasted. The state constitution limits bonding to publicly-owned construction projects with a public purpose clearly set forth in law.

In fact, as the conservative political leaders quoted above know, the public and private sectors are indispensable partners in the creation of prosperity. In the current economic environment of a lagging jobs recovery, historically cheap borrowing and chronic infrastructure maintenance deficits, it’s time for frugal Minnesota to stick with the job of building what Gov. Daniels called “the backbone to which men and women of enterprise can attach their investments.”

Skills for success: Critical thinking and problem solving Before the holiday break, several graduates spoke to a group of seniors about their college experiences.

They talked of the importance of time management, roommate issues, homesickness and academic work loads. I was impressed at how they repeatedly emphasized the importance of making good decisions and focusing on academics. They have their eyes set on the goal and have grasped the large picture.

I was in awe of the responsibility our staff has as they prepare our students for what they can expect beyond high school. When our students enter Jordan High School as freshmen, they cannot drive, vote or own a credit card. By the time they graduate, they can do all of these things.

COLLEGE continued from page 1

On that last topic, the college students focused on being responsible, choosing friends carefully and being safe.

“If you don’t want to do anything, they’re not going to make you,” said Eric Reger, a first-year student at St. Cloud State University.

“You just have to be careful you’re not being taken advantage of,” said Callie Gustafson, a first-year student at Winona State University.

“Not everyone has to party,” said Maddie Haeg, a first-year student at the College of St. Scholastica.

Not far from the discussion was an awareness of the cost of college.

“College is expensive – like, really expensive,” said Caroline Bakalyar, a 2009 Jordan graduate now at Winona State University.

“Do not wait to apply for financial aid,” Bakalyar said.

While in high school, Timmons said, he devoted lots of time to looking at schools,

Barb

MCNULTY During high school, they are exposed to both the facts of history and importance of current events as well as great pieces of literature. Some learn to speak in another language and some can solve calculus problems.

To ensure that students are ready to graduate, but not at scholarships. Now, he realizes that because of the activities he’s joined in college, he could have had more financial help.

“That’s where I missed out. I’m paying probably 40 percent more than I could be,” Timmons said.

CLASSES AND FRIENDS Yeah, there’s also that thing called studying to think about in college.

“It’s a lot different than what you’re used to,” Reger said, adding that there’s more time between classes, but that those classes are harder, and exams carry more weight.

The idea that money and future careers are riding on what happens in college didn’t seem lost on the panel.

However, there was also an awareness of the growing up that was happening after they left their parents, and the sometimes insulated town of Jordan.

“I basically brought everything,” said Emily Beckius, a first-year student at the University of WisconsinRiver Falls. However,

Minnesota requires they show proficiency on writing, reading and math tests, which students take in their freshmen, sophomore and junior years. The math test in particular is extremely difficult. Those who want to take the test themselves can find examples on the Minnesota Department of Education website.

But do these tests ensure our students have the skills they need for success in the 21st century?

The tests our students take measure their ability to read and comprehend, communicate in writing, and solve complex mathematical problems. These are obviously important skills to function in society. However, to be truly successful in the job force, they must also be able to think

critically and solve problems, communicate using a variety of methods, collaborate, and demonstrate creativity and innovation. These are commonly referred to as the “four ‘C’ skills” and were outlined in the 21st Century Readiness Act. These are the skills that will make them competitive not only in the career they choose but also globally.

Technology now affords our students the luxury and responsibility to interact on a much larger scale than ever has been experienced before.

As our students journey through their four short years at the high school, teachers continually search for ways to help them find success in the 21st century. They adhere to the standards set forth by the state and assess students’

roommates brought things, too, like trash cans.

“Now we have like four in our room, but that’s ok,” she said.

Perhaps another lessdiscussed fact of dorm life: “You’re never really alone,” Beckius said.

For some, roommates can be a concern.

“We texted all summer,” said Nicole Krautkremer, a first-year student at Bemidji State University, “and we moved in with each other, and then – yeah.”

Krautkremer said it’s important to make sure to figure out which school is the right fit while in high school.

She plans to transfer to the University of Minnesota.

“I only toured two schools,” Krautkremer said.

Emily Boeckmann, a junior working on an English major at the College of St. Benedict, said sometimes it’s important to check whether, with a few more classes, you can get a minor without much trouble.

Haeg, who started into college undecided on a major, said not knowing is ok,

because it could hurt to get tracked into one plan too early.

“If you go in with a clean slate and an open mind, it helps you out,” Haeg said.

Heidi Laabs, a sophomore at Iowa State University, said that even at a big school, if you get involved, “you’ll find people to do things with.”

She said there are sports like broomball, volleyball or basketball to try – even a Rubik’s cube club.

“I know how to solve Rubik’s cubes. I know, I’m a geek, right?” Laabs said.

Haeg, who was in drama in high school, said she’s in a college play.

“You meet a lot of people that like the same things as you,” Haeg said.

Principal Barb McNulty said she called the forum after having her daughter go to college this past fall.

“I had no idea how to prepare her for this,” McNulty said.

After the talk, she said they had valuable advice.

“This has been the best college panel I’ve ever seen,” McNulty said.

acquisition of skills in a variety of ways.

Not only do teachers use traditional paper and pencil tests, but they also help students learn how to collaborate with each other as well as create projects and solve problems.

Learning other methods to demonstrate what they have learned can only help students as they enter life after high school.

Presentations, models and collaboration are activities they will experience in the work force.

Estimates vary regarding the number of times our students will change jobs in their lifetimes. Some organizations predict they will change as few as three times and others predict as many as seven. That means we have

the responsibility to foster collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity and innovation, because focusing on one skill set for a specific career may actually set up road blocks.

As I listened to the students offer advice, I was excited for our seniors.

They will be responsible for our futures and we need to trust they are prepared for the responsibility.

Douglas Rushkoff, a media theorist, refers to them as “the latest model of human being. Looking at the world of children is not looking backward at our own past – it’s looking ahead. They are our evolutionary future.”

Prison fence issue returns New state plan has college-campus look

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

SUBMITTED PHOTO

An enlarged photo from a hidden camera caught the image of a person of interest in the alleged vandalism of lights at the Timberline neighborhood entrance.

Can you help solve alleged vandalism?

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Police are still looking for more information about the suspected vandalism of lights that shine on the Timberline neighborhood sign.

As of Dec. 29, nobody had yet been charged in the case.

“With great certainty, we have a suspect identified, but we are awaiting corroborating

evidence and further follow-up before charging,” said Jordan Police Department Chief Bob Malz.

Police have received a statement from a suspected accomplice who witnessed the damage taking place, Malz said.

Ongoing problems with vandalism at the sign led the homeowners association to try placing a hidden camera near the Timberline entrance. During

the evening of Nov. 27, a camera caught the images of at least two, and possibly three, individuals.

The photos were published soon after, and the Jordan Police Department and the association teamed up to offer a total $500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

At the time they were taken, the photos themselves weren’t of a high enough quality for police to identify a suspect.

NEW PROPOSAL With an inmate count today of 559 versus 92 when the current facility opened in 1986, and a worsening of fender population, corrections officials believe the time is long past for a fence.

A fence with barbed wire enci rcles the water tower across from the state women’s prison in Shakopee. A plain chain-link fence lines the Catholic cemetery.

But five years after local opposition to a prison fence made for national comedy on “The Daily Show,” the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Shakopee continues to be protected by a hedge.

“The water tower is more secure than the prison,” said John Schadl, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

The prison’s 2006 request for a fence failed to receive funding after drawing opposition from neighborhood residents and some Shakopee City Council members. Without community support, later bonding proposals gained little traction at the Legislature.

With new faces on the City Council and the 2012 legislative bonding season fast approaching, the DOC appears to be putting its full weight toward securing $5.4 million in state funding next year for a 12-foot perimeter fence.

Shakopee Mayor-elect Brad Tabke was briefed during a recent tour of the correctional facility. And state Sen. Claire Robling, R-Jordan, who supports the fence project, was also updated on the prison’s latest proposal, which calls for one fence instead of the two from an earlier plan.

A com mu nit y advi sor y panel will meet ahead of a neighborhood meeting scheduled for 1 to 2 p.m. Jan. 12 on the proposal. (Postcards are going out to neighbors).

And they say the fence is just as much about protecting the outside public as it is protecting inmates from old boyfriends or associates.

There’s nothing to stop someone from walking onto the prison grounds, which looks like a college campus, or tossing contraband into a bush or near a building (which has happened). Each day, the

Prison officials say a proposed fence would mirror those at college campuses. The fence pictured is similar to the design envisioned.

“We feel the community is safe now, but it’s still a prison. We’re worried about the safety of offenders and staff.”

John Schadl Minnesota Department of Corrections spokesman prisoners leave their living quarters and walk outside to enter the dining facility, Tabke was told.

“We’re worried about the safety of offenders and staff,” Schadl said.

The proposed fence has brick columns with wrought iron-like bars that curve at the top. It is supposed to match the prison’s college campus-look.

A previous plan had two fences, separated by open space, with the inner fence constr ucted of chain link and wired so anyone trying to climb it would set off an elaborate alarm system.

(In addition to a fence, the prison is seeking funding to expand its intake and segregation areas through internal renovation.)

If he lived in the neighborhood, Schadl said he would be concerned about how the fence would look.

However, Schadl said the fence, similar to one surrounding St. Catherine University in St. Paul, is nothing extreme, with no barbed wire.

It’s his contention that “good fences make good neighbors.”

The department, he said, intends to stick to the deal it struck with Shakopee when the current facility was built in 1986: to keep the prison in context with the surrounding community. (The prison dates back to 1919 in Shakopee.)

However, some neighbors believe the very proposal for a fence shows the prison is housing an inmate population that

violates that deal.

“They assured us – don’t worry, it won’t be dangerous people,” said neighbor Scott Duffney. “They’ve kind of been cheating on that.”

The arguments the prison gave soon-to-be-Mayor Tabke about the need for a fence made sense, he said. However, he still wants to hear what neighbors have to say.

“If the opposition is purely aesthetic, I think the DOC did a good job of addressing that,” said Tabke, who has heard from some residents already due to his online postings. “If there are other issues, I need to understand them.”

Duffney is open to learning more about the prison’s rationale for a fence. However, if the reason is dangerous inmates, perhaps the question ought to be whether such inmates should be housed in the heart of a residential area and across from an elementary school in the fi rst place, he said.

“Maybe now is the time to say we have to segregate and put the worst offenders in a more secu re environment [outside of Shakopee] ,” he said.

Tabke said the prison is currently required to expel any prisoner who talks about escaping, due to the lack of a fence. These inmates are sent to another prison outside of Minnesota since no other state prisons take women.

Several team challenges are being held this year for corporations, restaurants, law enforcement and schools.

This year’s Polar Bear Plunge is presented by Minnesota law en forcement.

A new Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce Miss Jordan Ambassador Program court was crowned during Heimatfest. They are (from left): Lexi Johnson, second princess; Trisha Laabs, first princess; and Ali Pauly, Miss Congeniality and Miss Jordan 2011-2012. (Sept. 15)

More than two city blocks were chock full of classic cars and motorcycles at this year’s Jordan Classic Car and Cycle Cruise, held on the Friday before Heimatfest, Jordan’s city celebration. Perfect weather didn’t hurt the turnout. (Sept. 15)

2011 Time well spent The JI takes a look back at fourth quarter of past year Editor’s note: As we turn the corner into 2012, let’s take an opportunity to reflect on the past year. A summary of news occurring during the other three quarters of the year ran in recent editions of your local newspaper. This is a chronological summary of news reported in the fourth quarter of 2011.

SEPT. 1 Jordan Dental Care is moving out of downtown Jordan to expand in the Whispering Meadows development, near the Triangle Business District in Jordan. For more than 50 years, the business has operated out of a building along Broadway Street. The Jordan Planning Commission has gone around and around with Dr. Elizabeth Thelemann and Walter Zuniga about the architectural design of the building, trying to increase its compatibility with the look of the downtown area it is leaving, while the owners argued that their design fits with other buildings in Whispering Meadows and is best for business. The commission recommended against a roof that is terracotta in color.

On a trip to Spain, where 1 million gathered and saw the pope on World Youth Day, four Jordan youths carried a handkerchief with 100 prayer intentions scrawled on it.

“I think teams will overlook us.”

Jordan High School Head Football Coach Craig Albers On hopeful prospects for a winning season in 2011 (Sept. 1) Jordan Elementary School classes start four days late, due to cleanup of mold formed by a malfunctioning air conditioner and a hot, humid summer. Repair and cleanup costs were estimated at more than $300,000.

Ten candidates applied for the Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce Miss Jordan Ambassador Program.

A t h i r d d e fe n d a nt w a s named in an alleged burglary at a Jordan home. Ricky Manivanh, 17, of Jordan is being cha rged as a n adu lt, wit h fi rst-degree burglary. The case

involved firearms hidden in the woods near Jordan Middle School.

You could win a 2012 F-150 SuperCab in a Cadillac dinner raffle to benefit St. John the Baptist Catholic School and Church in Jordan. The Cadillac dinner is scheduled for March 3, 2012, but the Rev. Timothy Yanta, pastor at the church, bought the first 10 raffle tickets in 2011.

One hundred teams turned out for Jordan’s second annual bags tournament. The top three bean bag-tossing teams won $1,000, $500 and $250. Dave Lenzmeier and Brad Evenson of Jordan won the beginners bracket.

Careful about what to call the sport, Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce also moved the tourney from Lagoon Park to Clancy’s Pizza Parlor.

Two hundred nine people entered the 15th annual Harley Heaven Motorcycle Ride, raising $2,600 for two good causes.

In an effort that caused head coach Jason Geisel to note the

rust on his players, the Jordan Jaguars lost to Minnetonka one match before facing Blaine, a powerhouse in a large class of schools.

Jordan’s cross-country teams generate excitement. The Jaguars return two runners who finished in the top 15 at state in 2010, and the Hubmen hope to win the conference meet.

Jordan Jaguars tennis won four matches in a week, including a nail-biter against New Prague.

The Jordan Millers won the consolation championship of Class 2A in the Minnesota Senior Men’s State Tournament.

A fi fth-place fi nish is the highest in recent team history.

After a one-win season in 2010, the Jordan Hubmen football team was featured in a pullout preview section of the Jordan Independent. “I think teams will overlook us,” head coach Craig Albers said.

SEPT. 8 Jordan scores in a state science test were pushed up by strong gains by fi fth-graders.

In the 2010-2011 school year, 69 percent of fi fth-graders tested proficient in science, compared to 48, 52 and 48 percent in previous years. Classroom instruction and tests prepared students for the way they would take the state test, said Carol Lagergren, Jordan Public Schools curriculum director.

In its 11th year, the Jordan Classic Car and Cycle Cruise changed its route to once again include a stop at Lydia, the proud, unincorporated town in Spring Lake Township.

Up to $250 of free ice cream?

For a rededication of a cannon?

Well, yes, because it happened at Heimatfest, the annual city festival, a lot of ice cream probably will be necessary. The 1909 Spandel 105-mm field gun that sits at the entrance to Lagoon Park has been refurbished and will undergo ceremonial proceedings, and the city council voted to foot the bill.

Due to mold, Jordan Elementary School threw away all of the backpacks used for the Blessings in a Backpack food program. “We’ve got some

moms on a mission right now to get backpacks,� Principal Stacy DeCorsey said of a push for donated replacements.

The Jordan City Council approve d new appl ic at ion questions and minimum requirements for service on the Jordan Planning Commission, with the exception of the commission’s proposed waiting period for former city employees, past elected officials or failed candidates before they can apply for a position on the commission.

W hen t he S c ot t C ou nt y Board passed its preliminary tax levy, Commissioner Dave Menden voted against the proposal, saying that residents would rather forego roadwork than pay more property taxes.

After a clean bill of health, Jordan Elementary School began its school year on Monday, Sept. 12, four days late, after mold forced a late-summer cleanup in the building. Superintendent Kirk Nelson estimated the cost of the ordeal is approaching $400,000.

Faith Sullivan, author of “The Cape Ann,� joined a Jordan area women’s book club for an evening. She loved Deb Atneosen’s Vomacka soup and asked for the recipe. In exchange, she offered to send her peach pie recipe to Atneosen, Nancy Pearson, Colleen Heimkes, Susan Michael, Kate Busch, Carole Cole, Laurie Green and Mary Finley.

Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz swung a deal with Jordan Public Schools and Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative (MRVSEC) for reinstatement of the school resource officer position and, thus, Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE). Each school board is likely to contribute $5,000, he said.

In Mayor Pete Ewals’ absence due to a restraining order against him, the Jor-

After three losses, the Jordan Jaguars won their first volleyball match of the year.

Bauer’s father, Al, lives in Sand Creek Township.

Mike Riker, 18, of Jordan spent his summer fighting fires as one of a dozen-member North Star Fire Crew in Alaska. His story is one of an occasional series called Cool Jobs.

Jordan eighth-graders surpassed the state average on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment-II (MCA-II) tests, while Jordan High School’s juniors lagged below the state average in math. In reading, the district as a whole again showed higher scores than the state average.

The Jordan Planning Commission resurrected the mayor’s past proposal to pull mercury-filled teeth of the deceased before cremation.

St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Jordan hosted its fall festival, serving 1,245 chicken and ham dinners, giving away

The city’s debt payments will drop off in 2013, just in time to start paying for a new library.

Even after loan payments for a library, the city could borrow about $139,000 without a 2013 tax levy increase.

Scott West’s big rally keeps title belt Wrestlers defend Rumble on Red title

Scott West sent one other wrestler to the fi nals – Luke Zilverberg fi nished second at 132 pounds.

Zilverberg lost 16 - 8 to Omaha Skutt’s (Neb.) Thomas Gilman in the championship. Gilman is the No. 1-ranked wrestler in the nation and will wrestle for Iowa next season.

“I thought Luke did a good job of wrestling hard and staying in the match,” Ripley said.

Fogarty rebounded from his early loss to fi nish in third place.

He pi n ned Wayzat a’s Weston Droegemueller in 46 seconds to claim third place.

Fogarty got revenge when he defeated Westrich 11-0 in the wrestle backs.

Other place winners for the Panthers were: Siegle, fourth at 113 pounds; Luke Betchwars, fifth at 126 pounds; Nick Dvorak, fi fth at 170 pounds; David Flynn, sixth at 106 pounds; Charlie Pesch, seventh at 152 pounds; and Jake DeWeese eighth at 182 pounds.

Luckily for the Scott West wrestling team, the Rumble on the Red is a two-day tournament instead of just one.

If the 60-team tournament was just one day, the Panthers would not have defended their title.

After a poor first day of the tournament at the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D., Scott West rallied to win the Rumble on the Red tournament for the second year in a row.

The Panthers were in sixth place and 25 points out of fi rst after the fi rst day but rallied to win 25 of 36 matches on the second day to win the tournament by 17 points.

Scott West finished with 207 points to top Albert Lea’s 190.5. West Fargo was third at 186, followed by Foley and Jackson County Central to round out the top five.

“For whatever reason, and there were probably multiple factors, we just didn’t have a very good fi rst day of wrestling,” co-head coach Darren Ripley said.

Scott West had nine wrestlers seeded in the top six of their weight bracket, but only six of those nine reached the quarterfi nals and two of those the semifi nals.

The biggest setback came when No. 1-seeded Gabe Fogarty lost in the round of 16 to Lakeville North’s Lucas Westrich 10-6.

With the fi rst day behind them, Scott West looked to a much better second day.

The Panthers won their fi rst nine

JUNIOR VARSITY

INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS

The Scott West junior-varsity team entered 19 wrestlers into the JV tournament and came away with seven place winners.

Jake Weierke and Lee Vest won individual titles at 119 and 160 pounds, respectively.

If winning the team title wasn’t enough, Scott West had nine place winners, including one champion.

That champion was senior Michael Kroells, who dominated the 220-pound weight division.

Kroells easily defeated Minneota’s Josh Vanoverbeck 10-2 in the title match to win his second straight Rumble on the Red title.

He is the fi rst Scott West wrestler to win two Rumble on the Red titles.

The Panthers will host Le SueurHenderson tonight (Thursday) in Belle Plaine before heading to Iowa to participate in the Denver-Tripoli Invitational in Tripoli, Iowa.

The tournament will feature two No. 1-ranked teams from Iowa, Denver-Tripoli and Nashua-Plainfield.

The Panthers won the title a year ago.

“We had dug ourselves a big hole, and I think that some of the teams ahead of us had written us off and left us for dead,” Ripley said. “But that’s not the way we roll at Scott West, and when somebody smacks you in the face, you don’t just sit and take it.”

By winning 18 matches early in the second day, Scott West vaulted up the leaderboard and was sitting

just a half-point out of first when Zach Siegle took the mat for his match against St. Cloud Apollo’s Grant Dullinger in the wrestle backs.

Siegle scored a 1-0 win with a thirdperiod escape that gave the Panthers 4.5 team points and the lead in the tournament over Foley.

They never looked back.

“You have to give our kids a lot of credit for fighting their way back and wrestling hard for every point and every match,” Ripley said.

JAGUARS BASKETBALL

Big win: Girls defeat GFW, 74-17

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Hannah Klegstad scored six points against GibbonFairfax-Winthrop.

What a way to rebound from a loss.

The Jordan girls basketball had to wait for a week to pass before they could get back on the court after they suffered their fi rst loss of the season.

They took out any frustrations on Gibbon-FairfaxWinthrop in a big way on Dec. 29 at home.

The Jaguars held GFW to just four fi rst-half points and cruised to a 74-17 win to improve to 8-1 on the season.

“I was very pleased that our team played with the intensity they did,” head coach Greg Dietel said. “You never know how teams are going to play during the holiday break. We had good energy in our two practices leading up to the game, and it defi nitely carried over when we played GFW. A credit to the focus of our players.”

In their loss to Shakopee on Dec. 22, Jordan found it tough to score and wanted to work on their offense against the Thunderbirds.

Their work paid off as they scored almost at will.

T he Ja g u a r s s c or e d 4 2 points in the fi rst half, as they

“It was nice to see us get out in transition and score,” Dietel said. “Our players ran the floor so well, and we were able to fi nd open teammates

for easy baskets. The Shakopee game taught us that we need to be able to rely on our offensive sets to get good shots when we aren’t scoring in transition, and I thought our players showed a lot of improvement

with this against GFW. We played with some discipline in our half-court offense. We need to continue with that mentality.”

Ten different Jaguars scored in the 57-point victory.

Alex Hancock led the charge with 14 points, followed by Kelsey Chambers 13, Maddy Dean’s 12 and Elle Case’s nine.

As much as t he of fense helped out the defense, giving up only 17 points is incredible, no matter the opponent.

“I thought our defense was solid the entire game,” Dietel said. “We guarded the ball well. We kept the ball out of the lane. We rotated well. Obviously, giving up only 17 points is a credit to our players, but the intensity they showed throughout the game was fun to see.”

The Jaguars return to action at 7:30 p.m. tonight when they host Sibley East.

That game begins a stretch of six straight Minnesota River Conference games for Jordan.

A tale of two halves Second half rally can’t overcome first half struggles

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

A poor start doomed the Jordan boys basketball team on Tuesday night.

The Hubmen picked it up in the second half but by than it was a little to late to overcome Norwood-Young America.

Jordan cut the Raiders lead to seven midway through the second half but ended up losing by 11, 60-49.

Norwood-Young America took advantage of Jordan’s rough start to build an 18-point halftime lead, 38-20. “This was a tale of two halves,� head coach Matt Urbanek said. “We did not come out with enough energy or effort to start the game and we gave up open shots, penetration a n d o f fe n sive r e b ou n d s .

Those are hustle categories.

We dug ourselves a hole and couldn’t quite dig ourselves out.�

In the second half, Jordan played with more fi re and passion and got itself back in the game but the deficit was just too much to overcome. “We played much better and harder toward the end of the fi rst half and especially in the second half,� Urbanek said.

The defensive effort in the second half was high as they held the Raiders to 22 second half points. That effort allowed Jordan to cut the lead to seven but that’s as close as they would get.

With the loss Jordan drops to 1-2 in the Minnesota River Conference.

WINNING EFFORT Prior to the Norwood loss, the Hubmen defeated GibbonFairfax-Winthrop 74-54 last Thursday at home to improve to 4-4 on the season.

That win comes a week after losing by 20 points to the fi fth-ranked team in Class 2A in Watertown-Mayer.

It also comes before Jordan enters a very important stretch in its schedule.

Six of its next seven games are against Minnesota River Conference opponents, and the seventh game is against a ranked St. Peter team.

That means if they want to be contenders in the MRC, they will have to play well during the next month.

If the win against GFW was a sign of things to come, then the Hubmen are in for a good month. “We did an especially good job (last Thursday) of finding ways to make our teammates better, through quality screens and good passes,� Urbanek said. “That represents progress for our team and it was nice to see.�

It was a good shooting night for Jordan as they hit 19 of 37 shots from the field to pull away from the Thunderbirds in the second half.

Jordan only led 36-29 at halftime but outscored GFW by 13 in the second half to get the 20-point win. “I thought we played very hard and competed at a high level,� Urbanek said. “We had positive contributions from lots of players. We still have lots to work on, but we feel that we are improving and are on the right track.�

Micah Hennen led the Hubmen with 19 points. He was followed by Jake Andersen’s 18, Andy Schrader’s and Nick Heitkamp’s 10 points.

So far this is turning out to be the winter without snow all across the United States. As of Christmas we still don’t have any snow on the ground. Oh sure, a few places in the west are enjoying a bit of snow but here in the Midwest and East Coast, forget about it! No snow.

Which of course means, everyone is asking me, “So what does the lack of snow mean for the animals and birds?� Well, here is the best explanation I can come up with.

In regions that normally receive a generous blanket of snow, the lack of snow alters a lot of dynamics in nature. In regions that normally don’t have regular snow fall, obviously it won’’t change a thing. So back to the regions that normally gets snow, which in1cludes most of us. What are the ramifications of no snow?

Snow is a blessing and a curse all wrapped up into one frozen package. In nature, rarely is a single event or condition just a good or just a bad thing. It’s usually a mixed bag of good and bad and the lack of snow is no exception. First, the blessings of no snow ‌ A blanket of snow does much for a lot of wildlife.

Take snowshoe hares or jackrabbits for example. They turn white in winter to help blend in and hide from predators. So take away a white landscape of snow and these critters stand out like a sore thumb. They are easy pickings for predators. So having no snow is a bad thing for these them.

Stan

TEKIELA NATURALIST

Mice, voles, sh rews and other small critters depend upon a nice thick blanket of snow in which to hide or live u nder neat h du ring winter months. These small animals depend upon a blanket of snow for a level of visual protection.

They actually move about on the ground underneath the snow where temperatures are moderately warm compared to normal winter air temperatures. The snow also helps to hide them from view while they go about their daily or nightly activities. However predators such as hawks, owls, foxes and coyotes gain a benefit from the snow. These predators are able to hear the small critters under the snow and pounce or punch through the snow to capture their next meal. So the snow works both ways in this scenario. Take away the snow and the small critters remain underground which means they stay away from the predators.

A snowy owl usually relies on a snow white landscape to conceal its movements.

Snow also protects many plant species. A blanket of snow acts like a down comforter and will help insulate the ground from extreme cold air temperatures and deep frost. Not that we’ve had any extreme cold temperatures, but you know what I mean. A blanket of snow stops the frost from penetrating deep into the ground and killing the roots of wildf lowers, shrubs and trees.

When snow is covering the ground it gives an advantage to animals such as rabbits that travel on the surface of the snow. The deep snow allows the rabbits to reach the stems of bushes that they normally can’t reach. It also allows for the small critters that burrow in the snow to reach the base of young trees and shrubs and chew off the tender bark while remaining hidden by the snow.

These are just a few examples of the Ying and Yang of a winter without any snow. Personally I am OK with the lack of snow. Other than the fact that we can really use the soil moisture, I fi nd it a pleasant change of pace and it makes my job as a wildlife photographer a lot easier but on the other hand it makes it a lot harder. Harder, because at this time of year I can capture winter images, but without the snow it makes it a hard. On the other hand the images I am taking right now look like fall or autumn and that is good too. So there you have it, the lack of snow is good and bad, depending upon your point of view. Until next time...

The window work only scratches the surface of the building’s updates.

Linda said it took a lot of work to get interior features like basement beams and water pipes in better shape.

When Kim and Linda bought the building in 2001, Randy and Kathy Mattson of Jordan were partners in the endeavor, and Randy also had a hand in some of the early phases of building renovation, according to Linda.

“It’s been a long haul getting it to this point,” Linda said.

In the new year, Linda said, the goal is to open the upstairs to youth activities like billiards and air hockey.

The River Church of the Open Bible, which used the upstairs of the building, has disbanded, she said, but in the future the space might be used by another church.

Carasim Coffee Shop is located in the building by the front door.

In January and February, Linda said they plan to hold all-you-can-eat pizza nights on Fridays.

“We’re hoping to get more together for youth,” Linda said.

Last week, new windows ensured that whatever happens upstairs, it will be warmer because of windows that don’t let in a harsh draft.

“It’s exciting to see it finally coming together,” Linda said.

We Want Your Support!!

Here’s how it works: Jeans Day - a day when employees may dress for work in jeans. In return, the employee pays one dollar, which goes to area non-profit organizations.

Jeans Day is a way to raise funds for non-profits and at the same time boost employee morale. We like the idea of people of the Greater Southwest Metro area wearing jeans for area non-profits on the last Friday of each month. For the next year we are proposing the following non-profits: January Big Brothers Big Sisters – Starting something since 1904.

At Big Brothers Big Sisters, we’ve been impacting the lives of children for over 100 years. And we’re just getting started. For over a century, Big Brothers Big Sisters has been helping change kids’ perspectives and giving them the opportunity to reach their potential. And we have over a century of volunteers, donors, and advocates just like you to thank. More than 100 years later, Big Brothers Big Sisters remains true to our founders’ vision of bringing caring role models into the lives of children. And, today, Big Brothers Big Sisters currently operates in all 50 states—and in 12 countries around the world. www.bigstwincities.org

February River Valley Nursing Center – Mission: Serving vulnerable individuals and families in our community while promoting the leadership role of nurses. Vision: Compassionate and individualized health-related services and community resources are available to all. History: We grew out of the Carver/Scott Healthy Communities Collaborative in 2003. The 7 original partners all shared a concern for the uninsured and underinsured in Carver and Scott counties. As of 2008, there were almost 5,000 uninsured in Carver County and 11,000 in Scott County. River Valley Community Partnership is a tax exempt organization - 501 (c)(3). Our Unique Model: Our services are provided by Minnesota licensed Public Health nurses and bi-lingual Spanish translators/community outreach providers. www.rivervalleynursingcenter.org

March Minnesota Food Share – Each March, Minnesota FoodShare directs the March Campaign, the largest food drive in the state and restocks 300 food shelves across Minnesota. It recruits thousands of congregations, companies, schools and civic groups to run local food and fund drives to aid in the effort.

Minnesota FoodShare organizes a statewide media campaign to promote food shelf donations. It produces and distributes free promotional and educational resources for food drive organizers. It acts as a clearinghouse for cash donations and distributes the funds to participating Minnesota food shelves. Throughout the year, Minnesota FoodShare advocates on behalf of hungry Minnesota families with both state and federal lawmakers and educates the public about hunger in Minnesota. mnfoodshare.gmcc.org

April Autism Society of Minnesota – The Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) is an organization of families, educators, care givers, and professionals committed to supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It was established in 1971. AuSM has members throughout the state of Minnesota and the upper Midwest.

Mission: The Autism Society of Minnesota exists to enhance the lives of individuals with autism spectrum disorders. AuSM seeks to realize its mission through education support, collaboration, and advocacy. www.ausm.org

Partnering together to match available and future services with individuals in need

during singular times of crisis or through longer times of need assisted by a mentor to achieve the goal of living a transformed healthy life.

July Life College – Minnesota Life College (MLC), located in Richfield, Minnesota, is a not-for-profit, vocational and life skills training program for young adults with learning differences and autism spectrum disorders.

Our students are involved in a challenging vocational and independent living curriculum with an emphasis on “Real Skills for Real Life™.” Students have the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. We give students the opportunity to learn the skills they need to know in the real world. www. minnesotaLifeCollege.org

August Fruits of the City – Fruits of the City aims to capture fresh fruit that would otherwise go to waste and redistribute it to those in need. In 2010, we partnered with Second Harvest Heartland to glean over 23,000 pounds of fruit. Our goal for this year is to harvest 36,000 pounds of fruit. www. mnproject.org/food-FruitsOfTheCity. html

Who we are - The Wildcat Sanctuary (TWS) is a 501c3 non-profit, no-kill big cat rescue located in Sandstone, MN. TWS provides a natural sanctuary to wild cats in need and inspires change to end the captive wildlife crisis. TWS is funded solely on private donations. The Sanctuary is a home for animals, not a zoo for people and is not open to the public. Combining natural and spacious habitats with a life free of exhibition and exploitation, TWS allows all residents to live wild at heart. As a true sanctuary, we do not buy, breed, sell or exhibit animals. www.wildcatsanctuary.org

November Minnesota Adoption Resource Network is committed to the right of every child to a permanent, nurturing family.

Since 1980, Minnesota Adoption Resource Network (MARN) has been dedicated to the recruitment of adoptive families for Minnesota waiting children, advocating on behalf of adoptive, kinship and foster families, and maximizing opportunities for successful adoptions. Since we are not a child-placing agency, we can fully advocate for the children needing adoptive families.

To many, zero means nothing. At MARN, when it comes to children waiting for families, zero means everything. www. zerokidswaiting.org

December CAP Agency – CAP Agency - Organized in 1965, as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” movement, the agency began as the Scott-Carver Economic Council providing co-op farming programs, Head Start and Senior Citizen Centers to residents of Scott and Carver Counties. The CAP Agency expanded its service area in 1985, to include residents of Dakota County. The agency’s name has since been adopted to reflect this expansion. Now numerous programs strong, three counties wide and over 40 years old, the CAP Agency offers a varied menu of services in each county, and continues to grow and evolve to reflect its commitment to address the unmet needs of the community. http://preview.capagency.org

S

outhwest Newspapers will promote Jeans Day and all the participating businesses in each of its seven community newspapers every month. We’ll provide you with Jeans Day stickers for your participating employees to wear. We also will give you “table tents” to explain to customers why employees are dressed casually.

Southwest Newspapers retains less than 10% of the donations to cover the cost of stickers, mailings and other promotional material.

Southwest Newspapers also donates all the ads placed in the paper promoting Jeans Day. In short, this program will cost you nothing.

It will boost employee morale. It will pleasantly unite all of the Greater Southwest Metro area for a worthwhile cause, and hopefully will raise lots of money for local non-profits.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Jennifer Sorenson at jsorenson@ swpub.com or 952-3456477.

Thanks, Jeans Day Committee
