INDEPENDENT Development leftovers enable flood control Mobile homes get protection but remain in 100-year floodplain

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

Jorda n of f icia ls fou nd a way to lessen the springtime fl ooding threat at Valley Green Mobile Home Park.

“Right there,” Jordan Public Works Director Dave Bendzick said, “is the lowest point in the city.”

This month, Bolton & Menk Inc. began preparing for construction of a 5- to 6-foot-high barrier between Sand Creek and annually f looded neighborhood backyards, after City

Engineer Tim Loose presented the roughly $18,000 idea to the Jordan City Council.

Where a footpath traverses the wooded area north of North Valley Drive, the city will create a berm, offering protection from waters that last spring came within feet of residents’ homes and nearly caused the city to begin sandbagging efforts.

“This is going to protect those homes from routine high water,” Bendzick said.

“So it’s the fi rst line of defense,” Councilmember Sally Schultz added.

Last spring, Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz checked on a backyard in Valley Green Mobile Home Park, upon which water from Sand Creek had encroached.

ALTERED ELEVATION Each year, during springtime snow melt, Sand Creek swells. Few areas within city borders are threatened, but city officials carefully help with ice-out measures and keep a constant watch for any dangers.

Bendzick said that in past years, water has risen within 1 foot of the Syndicate Street bridge, southwest of Holzer Park. On city-owned property, the berm will be built up to the same elevation as the bridge.

County FSA office sits on the chopping block

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

An office near Jordan that helps connect farmers to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs could be closing after July 1.

A federal initiative by President Obama and Vice President Biden to make government more efficient led to an array of changes at the USDA involving consolidating Farm Service Agency (FSA) and food safety and inspection offices, closing soil survey offices, and closing other types of offices around the country.

Included among five FSA offices that could close in Minnesota is Scott County’s, which is located in St. Lawrence Township, near Jordan.

A USDA press release notes that in some cases, offices are no longer staffed or have small staffs, and are within 20 miles of other USDA offices. The agency is relying on better communication technology to pick up the slack. Jobs at the closed offices will remain in place and be transferred to other offices.

Farmers and others have the opportunity to comment on the plans at a local meeting near Jordan at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, at Ridges at Sand Creek golf course. They can also submit comments in writing.

OFF TO THE RACES Speed and style are all in the details at the Pinewood Derby. Weight, wheels and aerodynamics play a role in how fast they go. Jordan Cub Scout Troop No. 332 raced cars at Jordan Middle School on Jan. 21. The fastest cars advanced to the next round of competition in Lonsdale. Owners of the top five cars were (from left): Andrew Nolden, fifth place; Garrett Redlin, fourth; Zane Vogel, third; Jacob Higdem, second; and Brady Fors, first. Fors also had the fastest run time.

Right – Jacob Freundschuh, 11, celebrates a big win. He garnered enough votes to win best original design for his car.

Wide load: $500,000 from state may aid Aberdeen Avenue project

seeks reconstruction projects on roads of regional significance.

Ab er de en Avenue r u n s through the southern end of Jordan, the city’s primary growth area of the 2000s that includes the Bridle Creek, Stonebridge and River Ridge neighborhoods.

The road leads to the Jordan Public Schools campus,

athletic fields and a new senior housing complex that is under construction. The 51-unit Oak Terrace Senior Housing residence “will generate some traffic,” Jordan City Councilmember Sally Schultz said.

W hile Aberdeen Avenue – from Sunset Drive to Old Highway 169 (County Road 66) – is classified as a minor

collector roadway, according to Jordan City Engineer Tim Loose, he and coworker Mike Waltman of Bolton & Menk I nc. have proposed a 2 012 upgrade to a major collector road, the definition of the city’s most highly trafficked streets.

to be widened to the proposed 52 feet, with 8-foot shoulders, 12-foot drive lanes, and continuous left-turn lane, Waltman admitted.

But under reconstruction, savings – namely the proposed $500,000 of state money – can be enjoyed for years, Waltman said.

Construction of a library, senior housing complex, and medical clinic in Jordan is scheduled to commence on April 1, according to the recently released official minutes of a Jordan Economic Development Authority (EDA) meeting.

Dunbar Development wants to open the senior housing and library parts of the development a year later, according to the official minutes of the Nov. 15, 2011, EDA meeting.

The clinic and pharmacy will be open for business in November 2012, the minutes said.

Topping the list of Jordan Economic Development Authority (EDA) goals is the development of a busi ness incubator program in 2012.

Also gracing the EDA’s top five priorities are a shovelready program in 2012, with the possible assistance of taxincrement financing (TIF) as the funding source, and improved communications between the businesses and city in regard to economic development activities ( a c h a mb e r o f c o m m e r c e liaison already attends EDA a nd pl a n ni ng com mission meetings), according to the recently released minutes of the Nov. 15 EDA meeting.

T he Jorda n Economic Development Authority (EDA) has discussed worki ng on several development-related plans for the town.

Jordan City Councilmember Thom Boncher met r e p r e s e nt a t iv e o f a f i r m t h at of fer e d t o c onduc t a downtown master plan, but city staff told the firm that an EDA discussion would be appropriate and “if there was interest, perhaps a request for proposals (RFP) could be developed for several fi rms to respond with proposals,� the recently released minutes of the Nov. 15 EDA meeting said.

The EDA decided that before preparing an RFP, “a review of the city’s current vision through a review of the city’s current comprehensive plan is necessary,� the minutes said.

The advisory commission to the city council had planned to further discuss the issue, according to the minutes, which were given to the council in January.

Park board revisits highway landscaping Lack of landscaping along Highway 2 82 concer ns t he Jordan Parks and Recreation Commission.

Jordan City Administrator Ed Shukle told the Jordan Economic Development Authority (EDA) that the park board suggested a landscaping plan be prepared for the area bet ween Hig hway 16 9 a nd Creek Lane, near the Triangle Business District. “They have been concerned t hat t his a rea needs more visible landscaping to continue the beautification that is more apparent along (Highway) 282 east of Creek Lane,� according to the recently released minutes of the Nov. 15 EDA meeting.

The park board was scheduled to meet with property owners.

Commission welcomes Schultz The Jordan Planning Commission “warmly welcomed� Jorda n City Councilmember Sally Schultz this month.

She said she i s looki ng for wa rd to ser vi ng on t he commission this year.

Black marks appeared on the commission as it kept one seat open for more than a year and then allowed a candidate for the seat to be chastised in public. Two commissioners quit when the council disagreed with its opinions, and Mayor Pete Ewals asked for another councilmember to serve as the 2012 commission liaison.

Library committee picks furniture A com mit tee of t hose i ntereste d i n t he i nter ior decorating at the new Jordan library picked the furniture that will be used.

Scot t Cou nt y Libra r y System’s new facility, near the intersection of Creek Lane and Seville Drive, is set to begin development in April.

I n e a r l y J a n u a r y, t h e committee was invited to a meeting in the Jordan City C o u n c i l c h a m b e r, w h i c h was emptied in favor of the furniture options. “It’ll fi ll up the room here,�

Councilmember Sally Schultz predicted t he week before the committee meeting. “It’ll b e a lot of sit t i n g i n t h at meeting.�

A f ter wa rd, she publicly declared the fu r nitu re beautiful.

Hours after the hockey rink opened this year, 30 people were skating.

J o r d a n P u b l i c Wo r k s Di rec tor Dave B end zick said the rink opened on the morning of Jan. 16 and by the evening, it was experiencing heavy use.

Bendzick was responding to Jordan City Councilmember Thom Boncher, who on Jan. 17 asked: “Is it cold enough for you?

Can we have some ice now?�

That depends. “It’s one day at a time,�

Bendzick said of the ice skating rink.

On the Mill Pond, onlookers could see open water by the warming house -- at the exact location used by Public Works to access the pond rink.

Bendzick approached a fisherman and tested the ice thickness on the city’s recreational lake. It was 5 inches thick.

Union contract passes in silence J o r d a n P u b l i c Wo r k s employees who are members of the Local 49ers union agreed to terms with the city.

Without public discussion, t h e J o r d a n C it y C o u n c i l emerged from a closed meeting to approve the contract 5-1. “Any discussion? � Mayor Pete Ewals said.

Councilmember Joe Thill lo oke d at C ou nci l memb er T ho m B o nc h e r, who s a id nothing and then voted against the contract. Councilmember Tanya Velishek was absent from the meeting.

On the night of its approval, the council did not release any information about the contents of the contract.

Ewals gave the city staff i n s t r u c t i o n s t o c o nt i nu e negotiating with the other city unions. “Proceed, and continue to share with us,� Councilmember Mike Shaw said.

School board takes an election redo Jordan School Board members took a redo on its election of Board Chairwoman Deb Pauly at the Jan. 23 meeting.

At the start of the meeting, Pauly said that the election that was held at the Jan. 9 meeting was not properly conducted.

Board Member Bob Vollbrecht, the board’s vice chairman, stepped in to conduct the redo. Pauly was nominated, and the board unanimously voted to approve Pauly as board chairwoman. Pauly then led the rest of the meeting.

The original vote on Jan. 9, which was taken by secret ballot, was not in compliance with the open meeting law, Pauly wrote in an e-mail to the newspaper, when asked about the vote after the Jan. 23 meeting.

In that vote on Jan. 9, board members handed in anonymous votes on pieces of paper.

When the fi nal vote total was read, Pauly had received five of seven votes.

Salt portion stays same for snowfalls Be it a dusting or 6 inches, every snowfall requires about the same amount of salt and sand.

This winter, Jordan Public Works logged only 46 hours of snow plowing, hauling and sanding.

Thus, the city is saving a lot of fuel costs, Public Works Director Dave Bendzick said. “The winter has a tendency to even things out. We’ll see what happens.�

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

Allen Houdek of American Family Insurance received the Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce’s Anna Sandey businessperson of the year award, and Tracy Behr and Kathy Kreuser of Iris Valley General Store received business of the year award.

The awards were presented, as well as new executive board members introduced, at the organization’s annual banquet Jan. 18 at the Ridges of Sand Creek in Sand Creek Township, near Jordan.

The chamber’s newly installed president, Jason Hombach of Edward Jones, said that the winners deserve their awards, based on the voting of their peers.

He gave credit to Houdek and 2011 past president Dr. Jeff May for enacting initiatives that have, in only two years, grown the membership from 42 to nearly 100.

Said Hombach of Houdek: “He’s out there, he’s getting involved, and he’s at all of the chamber events and activities.”

Iris Valley moved out of the Jordan brewery and continued to achieve success.

Do You Have News Reporting Experience?

“It was a trying year for her with the big move,” Hombach said of Kreuser, “and she has just hit the ball out of the park.”

The Eden Prairie News is seeking a talented, part-time general assignments reporter.

They are: Mark Seifert, Riverland Bank; Mary Pauly, MRP Services; and Ed Shukle, city of Jordan.

Thumbs up to new Jordan School Board chairwoman Thumbs up to …

Ta k i ng a not her leadersh ip role: A year ago, when Dan Buresh said he would be serving his last year as chairman of the Jordan School Board, Deb Pauly said she wouldn’t have time to replace him. But when a colleague nominated her for the leadership position, she accepted the role and has already filled it admirably.

In her second meeting as chairwoman, Pauly put herself up for a re-vote, because she felt the secret vote for the board’s top seat wasn’t in accordance with the Minnesota Open Meeting Law. We agree, and we intend to give credit to those who put government openness ahead of petty politics.

Pauly is a proven leader, reasonable yet critical listener, and veteran presence on the school board.

One more year: A town away, the New Prague School Board realizes it’s hired one of the good guys in Jordan’s Larry Kauzlarich. The former Jordan Public Schools superintendent took an interim job as head of the New Prague school district, and this week, it turned into a contract extension. Smart move.

Public safety training facility: The Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE) Regional Training Facility deserves state dollars, and usually receives the money. As the Minnesota Legislature reconvenes for the second half of its biennium-long session, it should strongly consider another investment in the unique training site near Jordan.

Thumbs

UP & DOWN COMMUNITY ISSUES

Thumbs down to …

Concussions: Man, concussions are a pain for our favorite athletes. The rise in concussions suffered by children is alarming – but not surprising, since we know how to better recognize the symptoms of such a brain injury.

Think on this …

Prison fence: Put yourself in the shoes of the residents who live next to the Shakopee women’s prison. Would you want to live next to the local Alcatraz? Then, think like a state legislator.

Weigh the need for eliminating prison escapes with the feelings of those who want aesthetics in their neighborhood, and then answer this: What’s the best compromise for the budget?

Capitol repair: We need to take care of what we have. Spending a proposed $27.6 million to start fi xing up the State Capitol building would be the tip of an iceberg. It must be done.

Our whole state, even tiny Jordan, benefits from a legislature that values its historic assets.

Writing your story leaves a legacy that time can’t erase Recently, I took the tree down, and with Buddy the dog happily prancing ahead of me, I dragged it through the pasture. Then without any fanfare, I threw it on the brush pile, thus ending another Christmas season. We like to hang onto good times a little longer at our house, I guess, but sooner or later you have to move on and rely on memories and pictures to keep the spirit alive.

Please allow me to share just one more story about this Christmas.

A friend of mine showed me a present she received for Christmas this year. It wasn’t expensive, it wasn’t new, and it wasn’t useful or even practical. It was just six pages written in beautiful cursive handwriting.

Once upon a time, a 9-year-old boy named Peter sat down to write.

I can’t tell if this had been a school assignment, a suggestion from his mother, or if the mood had just hit him. Peter talked about how much he weighed, how tall he was, the color of his hair and eyes. In Peter’s first essay, I learned that his father was a farmer and that Peter had to walk 2 miles to go to school.

The following year, Peter wrote a letter to his friend James (and perhaps never sent it), happily reporting about the skates he received for Christmas and he included a “hearty,” thank you for the “kind present” James had given him.

The next four essays, written during the next few years, were about Christmas. According to Peter, his “family likes to sing hymns on Christmas evening.” Winter was a “jolly season,” with “sleigh bells jingling on the streets.” The house was decorated “with holly and mistletoe.” But even as a little boy, Peter knew that winter was hard on some because he wrote: “Poor people don’t like winter because they have not enough money to buy coal to keep their houses warm.”

It’s obvious that this was written a long time ago. When Peter sat down to write, he had no way of knowing what a great gift he would be giving his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren 90 years later.

Fortunately, Peter, or most likely

Peter’s mother, saved these writings in a special box.

Recently, that box was discovered

by Peter’s granddaughter.

Recognizing how special these words were, she and her mother made several beautiful copies and gave them to Peter’s children this past Christmas.

What a wonderful legacy. The words of a little boy, written long ago, saved by his mother, then again by him, to be read and shared more than 90 years later are priceless. We only have a glimpse of a little boy and his world. Both are gone, but because Peter’s written words were preserved, his family can learn a little more about him and feel a little closer to the man who was once a little boy.

Learn from Peter and write. Write your story and leave a legacy that time cannot erase. Write a letter to a friend, describe yourself, write about your father, record how your family celebrates Christmas or keep a journal, because someday somebody will want to read what you wrote.

When I turned from the brush pile toward the barn I was surprised to see the trail left by the tree and me.

Dragging the tree through the pasture had mixed the leaves on the ground with the dusting of snow that fell last week. I had left a mark that showed I had been there. Soon time, wind and weather will erase all evidence of my passing. To leave a more permanent trail of life’s journeys, Peter’s family recommends ink and paper.

Cleaning up state’s waters will not feel good A new partnership between state and federal agencies to try to get more farmers to take on conservation projects has the right goal at heart – clean water.

But the plan, which has been getting plenty of discussion in the state lately, seems to focus too much on voluntary measures and not enough on crafting regulations that would create widespread water quality improvements.

A memorandum of understanding was signed Jan. 17 by Gov. Mark Dayton, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson.

The idea is to accelerate progress toward water quality goals while giving farmers greater regulatory and cost stability.

The details are still being worked out, but the key regulatory point is that farmers who voluntarily implement approved conservation plans get a promise that they will not need to implement any further projects as long as the first agreement is in effect.

So if they do something now, they’d presumably have to do nothing later.

This seems like short-term thinking all around.

Farmers who accept would be taking a gamble that they would avoid more regulations down the line, which might not be the case.

They’d be betting on door No. 1, instead of door No. 2.

Given the toothless approach government takes to regulating clean water – baiting and grantbribing farmers to take up voluntarily measures – why would a farmer think door No. 2 is so bad?

Why not just get tough and pass some mandatory clean water standards? If everybody plays by the same rules, that creates certainty.

Regulations aren’t meant to be easy. Ideally, they guard the common good.

David

SCHUELLER AN AGRICURIOUS OBSERVER

Rob Drieslein, editor of the Minnesota Outdoor News, writes that “regulation is not a dirty word.”

“Existing regulations haven’t stopped Minnesota trout streams and Lake Pepin from filling with silt. They haven’t stopped the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico from continuing to expand. We need stronger water quality standards, not voluntary programs,” Drieslein wrote.

While there are good examples of landowners voluntarily taking up conservation projects, what’s being done is not enough.

The Scott Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) tries to encourage farmers to take up conservation projects.

This past summer, the SWCD brought local government leaders on a cooperator showcase tour.

Landowners planted native plants and planned to build a berm to stop erosion into Sand Creek.

They provided wildlife cover and installed rain gardens. And they’ve shaped creek banks and remeandered a stream.

They represent a good start. But a handful of feel-good projects are not enough to make a widespread difference.

As an easy visual of how murky and sediment-laden the Minnesota River ends up, check out the Google satellite photo of Fort Snelling.

The water at the fork has a distinct line where the murkiness meets the Mississippi River.

Those measuring pollutants and sediment in the Minnesota River and Sand Creek, both of which run predominately through farm country, have for years noted problems with sediment and pollutants.

There are links between certain farming practices and water quality – like excessive drain tiling, converting wetlands to farm fields, or plowing every square foot of a property.

Farmers shouldn’t be viewed in punitive light, however. They’re just following accepted practice.

I bet most farmers do care about water quality and wildlife. But they also have businesses to run.

In reaction to recent news of the partnership between state and federal agencies, Lawrence Sukalski, a Martin County farmer, blogged on a website sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean Association.

“The collaboration with local government and the Environmental Protection Agency is a step in the right direction, making sure we are an active part of the solution.

And I think this call to action is not something new for Minnesota farmers. For decades, we have been using state and federal voluntary conservation programs to reduce runoff, and we welcome the challenge to do so even more with this new project,” Sukalski wrote.

Sukalski goes on to write that farmers realize they contribute to the problem, but cannot shoulder the entire burden of cleanup on their own.

“As we all work together to find a solution, I encourage people to ask questions – of their government, of their neighbors, of environmental groups and of local farmers,” Sukalski wrote.

Questions are good, but without some tough-willed players, I doubt we will see more than voluntary measures.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Bar bingo experiment nets $5,100 for chamber To the editor: The Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the city of Jordan and Brewer’s Bar for allowing us the opportunity to assist in getting their Wednesday bar bingo up and running in the city of Jordan.

The Belle Plaine chamber was approached by Brewer’s Bar because

of its profitable bar bingo operation at Johan’s Bar in Belle Plaine.

Per our agreement with the city of Jordan, the Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce has donated $5,120.61 to the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, 70 percent of the proceeds since bar bingo’s inception in May 2011.

At this time the board of directors has decided it is in the best interest of our chamber members and particularly our local bar establishments that we focus our efforts

on the gambling operations in the city of Belle Plaine. We are hopeful that a local Jordan lawful gambling organization will be interested in continuing the weekly bar bingo at Brewer’s Bar.

Pushing for high achievement in middle school It is testing time once again throughout the state of Minnesota.

Jordan Middle School has been working on its Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) schoolwide tests, and beginning in April, students will be taking their Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) tests.

This year, students in Jordan will have the opportunity to take their MCA math test in April and again in May if they do not make adequate yearly progress (AYP) the first time.

This year, the math test will be given online and the reading test will be taken paper and pencil.

Our hope is to remediate those students who do not pass the math test the first time so that they will pass with flying colors the second time through.

A perfect scenario would find 100 percent of our students passing this test the first time through. This is not realistic, so we want to provide opportunities for

Lance

CHAMBERS DISTRICT 717 SPOTLIGHT

those who do not pass to get through the second time.

More information will be sent out to all parents on the MCA tests in the next few weeks.

HONORS CLASSES? A proposal will be made to the Jordan School Board about adding some honors courses to the middle school schedule for next year.

These courses would be made available to those students who qualify for the program according to selected criteria made in advance.

I feel that this honors track is very important for those students who really need to be challenged.

These classes would be very rigorous in nature, and would challenge these students to push themselves to a whole new level. I will be forming a committee of teachers to discuss what these classes would look like, and what we would have for the criteria to get into such a class.

Once again, more information to come.

ATTENDANCE AND GRADES The research is very clear when it comes to poor attendance and grades.

Students who struggle with their attendance often struggle with their grades, as well.

In an article from the American Educational Research Journal, Michael A. Gottfried from the University of Pennsylvania said that attendance is credited as being an important component of school success.

“Students with better attendance records are

cited as having stronger test performance,” Gottfried wrote. “Other research has supported the notion that student attendance records can serve as direct signals of school quality.”

The paper goes on to say that increased attendance is a direct indicator of school success. At Jordan Middle School, we see this research as very accurate in most cases.

We cannot teach your children if they are not here, and better yet, if they are not engaged while they are here.

The reasons for a good education are more important now than ever.

With the economy the way that it is, and with a high jobless rate, we need students to take the challenge of coming to school.

We need to engage them academically, and they need to prepare themselves for what life holds outside of their school years.

Lance Chambers is the principal of Jordan Middle School.

More than one act for drama program

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Large audiences turned out for the reinstatement of the oneact play program in the Jordan High School’s theater calendar.

Shows were scheduled for two nights, and each pulled in an audience of more than 100.

According to Anthony Rydberg, who leads the program, they gave students great energy and were receptive.

“The students felt a great deal of pride at their accomplishment, and many were sad to have it end. The contest play, “New York,” got great experience at performing in front of a

live audience, which will serve them well for their contest at 1:55 (p.m.) on Saturday in Waseca,” Rydberg wrote in an e-mail.

The one-act play program was reinstated this year after being cut from the budget along with numerous other items in past years. Before this year, the last one-act play in Jordan was staged in 2009.

“We look forward to presenting another one-act festival again next year,” according to Rydberg.

School board members gave the plays good reviews.

“It was great. It really was,” Board Member Lauren Pedersen said.

The wake will be Saturday, Jan. 28 at 9 a.m. at Our Lady of the Prairie Church followed by the Funeral Mass at 11 a.m.

Liz was born to Thomas and Mary Kuduk, Polish immigrants, on May 1, 1926 in Northeast Minneapolis, the youngest of 12 children. She and Eugene Kornder were married Oct. 9, 1948. After living in Bloomington and farming the Kornder family farm on 24th Avenue, they bought the William Stier farm in 1960 and moved to Belle Plaine in 1964. Gene, Liz and their four children owned and operated the Kornder Berry Farm through the early 90s.

Over the years, Gene and Liz employed many, many high school students to cut asparagus, direct traffic in the berry field, pick melons and sweet corn, dig potatoes and onions, cut cabbage and pick pumpkins and squash which were sold at the Minneapolis and St. Paul Farmers’ Markets. Both Gene and Liz enjoyed spending many hours at Brewery Creek helping wherever needed. Liz loved the colorful hanging baskets and the wide variety of flowers and vegetable plants that her son Tim and his family produced at Brewery Creek. She loved selling the hanging baskets at the Farmers’ Markets.

Liz enjoyed her many trips to visit her daughter, Nancy and husband, Richard, touring the sites in Rhode Island.

For many years, Georgine Gansen, a good neighbor and friend, spent many hours visiting, playing cards and taking Liz to visit local shops. Liz worked for Minnesota Valley Electric Coop from the day the strawberries were hailed out in 1968 until her retirement in 1991. Liz was an avid gardener nurturing the flower beds at her own home and the numerous flower beds around Our Lady of the Prairie Church. She was very involved in Catholic Aid which hosted fund raisers for both the church and OLP School. She created memorable Halloweens, Christmases and Easters for her family and much loved 11 grandchildren with Wanda the Witch, stuffed Christmas stockings and piñatas.

Liz is survived by her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, Gene Tom, his children Dan, Jenny, Jeremiah, Matthew and their mother, Rita; Ted, his wife Mary, their children, Tony, his wife Wendy, their children Megan, Adrianna and Ruben; Nick and his wife Annie; Katie and her fiancé Josh Baker, Danika and her brother Damon and their parents Mike and Jolene Rademacher; and Kristi; Liz’ daughter, Nancy and her husband Richard Adams; Tim’s daughters Alison, her husband Dustin Burstein, their children, Lake and Skylar, Andrea, Ashli and their mother Lori; her brother-in-law, Ray Czech; sister-inlaw, Louise Bergman and numerous nieces and nephews.

BRIEFS

In 2011, crime rate shows slight drop Initial indications are that crime decreased in Jordan last year.

Police Chief Bob Malz told the Jordan City Council that “we finished the year with 21 fewer crimes in 2011 than we had in 2010. However, we responded to 124 more noncriminal calls for service and we wrote 602 more citations this year, most of which were speeding tickets.”

According to Malz’s December police report, other highlights of 2011 include the following decreases: 29 assaults in 2011, down from 38 in 2010; four burglaries, down from eight; 58 incidents of damage to property, down from 62; 42 incidents of disorderly conduct or obstructing justice, down from 48; 28 drug-related offenses, down from 38; and 32 liquor- or tobaccorelated crimes or curfew violations, down from 58.

T wo ty pes of cri mes – DWIs and thefts – increased in frequency, though.

Fill will be left over from the upcoming Scott County Community Development Agency (CDA) senior housing project in the Whispering Meadows business district, near the intersection of Seville Drive and Creek Lane.

Public Works employees can haul the dirt from the CDA site to Syndicate Street, from which the city has direct access to its waterfront to the east.

Bendzick saw the idea as a way to “actually do some good out there,” he said.

Bolton & Menk assisted the city in obtaining permits necessary for the project, Loose wrote in a memo to the council.

Bendzick and Loose already secured approvals from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Corps of Engineers, and Scott Soil and Water Conservation District.

But it’s not Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certified.

Plans will indicate the total amount of dirt to be moved.

NEW FOOTPATH Walkers use the treeless, 15-foot-wide path behind the mobile homes in order to cross under or over Highway 169.

One footpath leads alongside the creek, under a highway bridge, to Lions Park. The other path heads directly over the highway to the Triangle Lane business district.

The wooded path, across the creek from Holzer Park, will be covered with the excess dirt to build the berm. The city will seed and maintain the barrier, Bendzick said.

Pedestrians are likely to walk on top of the bank once created, Bendzick said.

DISCOUNT PROJECT Counci l member T hom Boncher pressed Bendzick for a ballpark estimate on the costs associated with the project.

Bendzick said it would cost $5,000 to $10,000 to rent a bulldozer for a day.

Loose gave the city a written estimate of $8,300 for the construction plans.

Boncher’s math showed a total of roughly $18,000.

If the city were charged to haul the dirt, instead of doing the work itself, the cost of the work would be $40,000 to $50,000, Bendzick said, so the city’s plan would be a large savings.

City comes up with water meter opt-out

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

MORE ONLINE

City employees are using what they believe are the best water meters the city can buy, but faced with two often-repeated complaints, the Jordan City Council decided to consider what it would take to make residents a costly opt-out offer.

Water meters installed at Jordan homes and businesses allow the city to charge owners for water used at each property.

In recent years, Jordan has installed 1,400 Neptune water meters in place of the old Firefly meters. About 550 meters are left to be replaced. It’s the same meter that is used in Prior Lake, Edina, Lakeville, Chanhassen, Maple Grove, Coon Rapids, Richfield, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, St. Paul and Minneapolis.

“Our staff thinks the Neptunes are performing excellently,” Jordan Finance Director Tom Nikunen told the council on Jan. 17.

But the council voted 4-2 for

the city staff to research an opt-out offer. Councilmembers Mike Shaw and Sally Schultz opposed the measure.

“This meter’s not causing any problems for us. ... We just went back 20 years,” Public Works Director Dave Bendzick said.

Good point, Councilmember Joe Thill admitted, directing city staff to get data for the council to examine in two weeks.

The council could follow the lead of St. Paul, which offered an opt-out in response to residents who believe that the meters emit harmful radiation.

“They did it just to appease the people,” Nikunen said.

Recent ly the complaints have extended to Jordan. During several recent meetings’ public-comment periods, Richard Thom of Jordan spoke

about the effects of radiation.

He sought out the help of Councilmember Thom Boncher, who brought the item to the council after Thom publicly spoke on the subject late last year.

“I haven’t heard from anybody else except Mr. Boncher,” Nikunen said.

“I haven’t either, but we hear it every week here,” Councilmember Mike Shaw said of Thom’s public-comment period appearances.

Thom has contended that radio frequency (RF) radiation emitted from the water meter at his house and the homes around him are contributing to physical ailments.

INITIAL REACTION “I think we can be done talking about RF,” Thill said.

Residents might not be done talking about it, and the correct venue for such discussion is the public-comment period.

“They can get their 3 minutes,” Thill said.

So Thill made a motion that staff not respond to public com-

ments on the subject, not add agenda items related to RF to meetings even if a councilmember asks to add it, and not spend time researching the issue.

No research should be done, Thill said, unless new information comes out of an upcoming court case or public-comment periods.

GAVELED Boncher shamed the council for the motion, which Shaw seconded.

Three people want responses, Boncher said, and the council’s response is to take official action not to respond to questions about the issue.

“That is what staff is for.

They’re here to serve the people of Jordan. That’s their job,” Boncher said.

No one on city staff has the expertise to tell us that the water meters are safe, Boncher said.

While city staff is doing its best, contacting and receiving assurances from the manufacturer, “I don’t necessarily agree with that,” he added.

“That’s your opinion,” Shaw said.

“Yes, Mike, that’s my opinion,” Boncher said, raising his voice. Mayor Pete Ewals gaveled Boncher to silence.

C ou nci l memb er Jeremy Goebel tried to comment, but Boncher cut him off. “ T h at ’s you r opi n io n ,” Boncher mocked. Ewals used the gavel again.

When Goebel was allowed to continue, he asked if the city could allow residents to opt out of using the Neptune meter.

WHY NOT? Goebel’s argument: If it gives people peace of mind, what’s the harm?

Shaw was convinced, withdrawing his second and asking that the city staff come back with options.

“St. Paul offered it. What did they do?” Goebel said.

Fees would cover staff time, Goebel said.

Nikunen couldn’t immediately give a cost estimate for the program.

“It depends on whose house it is,” he said.

Nikunen conjectured that the city could charge residents who opt out three times their highest water bill.

Thill asked that one of the options result in no signals, essentially no RF-emitting meters. Nikunen said that a Public Works employee would then be required to manually read water use for residents that opt out.

Goebel added that it’s fair to charge full price for unique and special treatment. A cost must be attached to it, Goebel said.

WORK FOR CITY STAFF Schultz said the city council needs to not be pushovers when a resident complains.

Since Shaw withdrew his second, Thill’s initial motion failed. Thill made a new motion, offering options including one non-RF option.

“It’s a can of worms,” Nikunen responded, accusing the council of pushing complainants off the council’s back onto the staff’s back.

Short session, but lots at play for Scott County SUBURBAN ISSUES

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

JOIN THE CHAT

Do you support or oppose a racino at Canterbury Park?

Is a Vikings stadium south of the river a great idea or a traffic nightmare?

Shou ld a fenc e b e bu i lt around the women’s prison in Shakopee?

The next few months in St. Paul could decide these issues and greatly shape the future of Scott County.

Bonding is the top priority of the Minnesota Legislature’s 2012 session that started Tuesday. Despite big-ticket decisions, the session is promised to be a short one, with state lawmakers anxious to return home after legislative districts are redrawn.

With his release last week of a nearly $1.5 million bonding proposal, Gov. Mark Dayton said he’s focused on making long-term investments to create jobs.

The proposal, which would issue $ 775 million in state bonds, would put an estimated 21,700 Minnesotans back to work by investing in improvements in infrastructure, colleges and universities, and several other regional economic development projects.

With a half-billion in bonding approved in last year’s special session, state Sen. Claire Robling, R-Jordan, said she believes this year’s package should be no larger, since $1 billion in bonding is typically what is approved every two years.

“Some projects in there are more wants than needs,” she said.

“I think we could whittle them out, and that’s probably what will happen.”

State Rep. Mark Buesgens, R-Savage, said he sees no reason to even pass a bonding bill this session.

“I come from the school of thought where I don’t believe that borrowing money to create bonding jobs is good, sound economic policy,” he said.

“They just put $500 million on the state’s credit card in

July. We’ve got almost $2 billion in (earmarked) debt that hasn’t been spent yet. In this fragile economy to add more debt to young workers and our children’s future would be irresponsible,” he said. “I don’t think anything there rises to the emergency nature.”

STADIUM, RACINO W h at Bue sgen s s a id he would like to see passed are r aci no s at t he st at e’s t wo horsetracks, which he believes would make Canterbury Park competitive with other tracks and revive the state’s equine industry.

With the Senate in Republican control and a shake-up in leadership that placed Robling at the helm along with Assistant Majority Leader Dave Senjem, momentum appears to moving in that direction.

Opposed by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, but supported by local legislators due to the benefits for racing and the agricultural industry, such legislation is lucrative, because it could repay school shifts or fund a portion of a Vikings stadium.

The previous Senate Democrat leadership would never let a racino come up for a vote, said state Rep. Michael Beard, R-Shakopee, but Robling and Senjem have a long history of promoting the legislation.

Additionally, Beard noted that Dayton isn’t “beholden” to tribes since they supported his primary opponent. Plus, “the governor really likes Claire.

He has a good rapport with her, and she with him,” Beard said.

A racino would be necessary for Shakopee to contend for a

Vikings stadium, Buesgens said, adding that it’s still possible for Shakopee to be selected at the 11th hour.

“I think the legislature is going to take its time to look at what makes the most sense,” Buesgens said.

With the governor backing away from the Linden Avenue site in Minneapolis, “it might be the last plan standing,” said Robling, predicting the legislature will take a vote on the stadium yet this session.

Some wonder if selection of a Shakopee stadium site might soften racino opposition from the Sioux community, since Vikings fans would likely flock to Mystic Lake’s hotel and casino.

The governor – in remarks last week in which he leaned toward Linden Avenue but called the Metrodome the default site – said Shakopee’s site merits consideration, but unfortunately relies on “speculative” racino legislation as its local match.

“Even if it were to pass, severa l yea rs of litigation in federal courts should be expected,” Dayton said. “Proceeds from racinos could not provide the assured revenue stream to back state-issued bonds until that litigation was resolved.”

But Buesgens cited a ninepage analysis by former Chief Justice Eric Magnuson as contradicting such concerns.

“It is my fi rmly held opinion that the proposed legislation is constitutional, and that any suit brought challenging the legislation would fail,” Magnuson wrote in a report to Canterbury Park.

“I am also confident that t he litigation cou ld be re solved in one year or less, and that it would be possible immediately to implement the statute fully. …”

Less sexy, but equally important topics to south-of-the-river residents will also be considered this session.

Scott County backs proposals that its officials believe would give equal footing to suburbs on transpor tation planning.

Beard, who chairs the House Transportation Committee, plans to take up legislation that would shift transit operations away from the Metropolitan Council and give it to a new regional transportation governance board.

County Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage recently testified on behalf of bolstering the power of the regional Transportation Advisory Board, which directs federal transportation dollars in the metro area, but doesn’t decide transportation policy and planning.

The proposal would make the board, which includes elected officials, the metropolitan planning organization for the Twin Cities, in place of the role it shares with an unelected Metropolitan Council.

Urlich also spoke in favor of a move to make the Metropolitan Council board comprised of appointed elected officials, rather than merely individuals appointed by the governor.

Scott County also wants legislation to allow an auxiliary driver’s license bureau at the Elko New Market library. Laws limit deputy registrar offices to within 15 miles of an existing office.

Robling, who anticipates some government reform measures to pass this session, hopes they include a guarantee that pre-paid activities, such as horse-racing or beer sales, be allowed to continue in the case of a future state government shutdown.

Buesgens predicted a voter ID proposal will get through the state legislature. A constitutional amendment would then go to citizens to decide whether voters should be required to present a photo ID at the polls.

ourNeighbors Newspaper company announces awards Shakopee-based Southwest Newspapers recognized four employees Jan. 6 for their outstanding work in 2011.

Lori Carlson was named the company’s 2011 Journalist of the Year in recognition of her contributions as editor of the Prior Lake American, one of Southwest’s community publications.

T h re e S out hwe st salespeople were recipients of Pinnacle Aw a r d s for t hei r 2011 performances.

Va ne s s a Nancy St roh wa s Etzel recognized as the outstanding salesperson of the year, while Nancy Etzel was runner-up and Pat Vickerman was the digitalsales award winner.

Stroh works in the company’s Chaska office, Etzel in the Jordan of fice and Vickerman in the Prior Lake office.

“Sout hwest had ma ny outstanding contributions from employees in 2011,” said General Manager Mark Weber, “but these four were the best of the best, and we thank them for their contributions.”

Southwest Newspapers, which is owned by Red Wing Publishing Co., publishes we ek ly newspap er s a nd operates news websites in Chanhassen, Chaska, Eden Prairie, Jordan, Prior Lake, Savage and Shakopee. It produces three magazines (Savvy.mn, Dockside and Edible Twin Cities) and numerous specialty publications, including 11 Residents Guides.

ABERDEEN continued from page 1

Aberdeen Avenue was expected to become a major collector street by 2030, and it already is in need of repair.

Jordan Public Works Director Dave Bendzick said that the city had done a mill and overlay a dozen years ago, and he was hoping to do a reclamation project that could cost, by ballpark estimate, $100,000 to $150,000.

“I was thinking about doing it this summer,” Bendzick said.

Bendzick’s plan would not have widened the road, just recycled its surface to create a smooth, reconstructed road like last summer’s Sunset Drive reconstruction in front of Jordan Middle School.

Mayor Pete Ewals has another strategy: “Delay, delay, delay,” he said.

With recent growth coming to a virtual standstill compared to the 300 homes a year the city had been seeing, traffic projections for 2030 are skewed, Ewals added. “Those are bogus numbers. They’re not even close.”

AVAILABLE CASH So the council faced a difficult question: Should the city pass up on trying for the available cash?

The LRIP passed in 2011 by the Minnesota Legislature will result in $10 million of state bonding for 2012 and 2013 regionally significant road reconstruction projects that “correct a transportation deficiency

“Identifying improvements on (a) route of regional significance is the most important piece of this grant application. … Aberdeen Avenue provides the city the strongest candidate for obtaining external funding.”

Tim Loose Jordan city engineer, in a memorandum written to the Jordan City Council

On Jan. 17, the city council voted 4-2 to apply for the grant, which would be a maximum of $500,000.

“Usually you get the maximum,” Loose said.

Ewals and Councilmember Thom Boncher dissented with their votes, and Councilmember Tanya Velishek was absent from the meeting.

The city engineer will be looking for letters of support from school district and Scott County, according to Loose.

City, school district and senior housing officials have wanted turn lanes and other safety measures near the intersection of Aberdeen Avenue and Sunset Drive, without many monetary solutions.

A turn lane or new entrance into Jordan Elementary School, which the district balked at funding, might be “enabled” under the city’s plan, City Administrator Ed Shukle said.

with a safety improvement strategy,” Loose wrote in a memorandum to the council.

State officials solicited appropriate projects in cities, counties and townships.

“Identifying improvements on (a) route of regional significance is the most important piece of this grant application,” Loose wrote. “… Aberdeen Avenue provides the city the strongest candidate for obtaining external funding.”

Proposing an upgrade to an urban road offers the city its best chance for state funding, but the designs could be modified if the grant is awarded to Jordan. The most aggressive proposal possible should help the city be more competitive in the grant process.

“A grant is a chance for free money,” Councilmember Jeremy Goebel said.

He likened the grant application to shopping, both of which require spending to accrue savings.

“It’s a good deal, but … I want to save that money. I want taxes to go down,” Goebel said.

He pointed out that he’d like to decrease taxes in upcoming years, as some of the city’s debt gets paid off, instead of putting Jordan’s available borrowing capability toward new spending.

“We are already starting to spend into our debt roll-off for next year,” Goebel said.

“. . . t h e r e i s o n l y o n e state that has retained that l a w – M i n n e s o t a ,” C i t y Ad m i n i st r ator E d Shu k le w r o t e i n a m e m o r a n du m to the Jordan City Council.

“Every three years, the state of Minnesota requires that local jurisdictions fi le a pay equity report.”

Counci l member T hom Boncher said he was disgusted with the unfunded mandate, and Councilmember Joe Thill said he’d bring up the issue

at the next executive board meeting of the Scott County Association of Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE).

A few years ago, the city found itself out of compliance, but Shukle said it had indeed complied.

Later, Ewals brought up the un funded mandate again, suggesting that city officials write letters to their legislators.

“I think we need to start pushing back on these things,”

MATCHING THE MONEY

In 2013, when the city pays off loans that cause $205,000 of annual debt payments, freeing up the city to spend money without raising taxes. The city has already planned to start paying $ 67,000 a year for its new library.

If the state approves the grant application, the city must come up with a local match, the source of which hasn’t yet been identified. Tax-increment fi nancing (TIF) from adjacent busi ness projects and Municipal State Aid (MSA) are options, as well as city bonding or assessments, Loose said.

“Or we can forget the grant, Boncher said.

He argued that even if reclamation ended up costing as much as $200,000, the city would save another $200,000 from doing a reclamation project on Aberdeen Avenue, rather than putting forth a local match to reconstruct and widen the road.

Waltman said that the city can borrow ahead on future MSA funds, like it did for the project at the intersection of highways 21 and 282. Such a borrowing measure is likely to be used to help fund reconstruction on another newly designated MSA collector street – the new Rice Street bridge in downtown Jordan.

GOING FOR THE GRANT Bolton & Menk will charge the city $3,000 to apply for application, draft and garner letters of support, conduct related research.

“At this level of effort, however, we can hold off billing this work until the project is initiated,” Loose wrote.

If you go …

Linda Hennen, Executive Director for the Minnesota Farm Service Agency (FSA) and members of her management team will hold one local meeting to take public comment about plans to consolidate offices and possibly close the Scott County FSA office.

Time: 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31 Location: Ridges at Sand Creek, 21775 Ridges Drive, Sand Creek Township near Jordan.

BRIEFS

Jordan complies with pay equity law Jorda n complies wit h Minnesota’s pay equity laws, and no pay adjustments are necessary.

The city is no friend of the pay equity law, however.

“This is garbage in, garbage out,” Mayor Pete Ewals said.

“When things don’t work, (the Minnesota Legislature doesn’t) repeal it.”

Ewals said. “... Everything helps.”

Council re-adopts refuse assessments Saving itself a court date, the Jordan City Council re-adopted its 2011 refuse assessments this month.

The council first adopted refuse assessments last October, but two months later realized that it should’ve passed a city

ordinance that expressly gives the council the ability to levy charges on residents who don’t pay their garbage-hauling fees.

T he c ou nci l pa s s e d t he appropriate ordinance, then assessed for the delinquent fees again. Re-assessing saves more than three months of interest for residents being assessed.

JAGUARS BASKETBALL

Watertown ends girls’ win streak 1-point loss follows five wins in a row

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

For the first time since Dec. 22, the Jordan girls basketball team lost a game.

The Jaguars had their five-game win streak snapped on Tuesday night, when Watertown-Mayer topped Jordan 62-61.

The game came down to Jordan’s last-second shot attempt that went Watertown-Mayer’s way.

With 14 seconds left in the game and the Royals leading 62-61, Marissa Janning stepped to the free-throw line for Watertown.

She missed the front end of a one-andone, and Jordan got the rebound.

The Jaguars pushed the ball up the court, ran an offensive play for a threepointer but the shot was blocked and the buzzer sounded giving the Royals the 62-61 win.

“They are a very good team,” head coach Greg Dietel said. “There is no shame in losing to them. We competed so hard, I was very pleased with our effort.”

Such effort was needed because Watertown-Mayer jumped out to a 19-9 lead on the Jaguars at the start of the game.

“We were having problems with the speed of the game, and it took us a while to get used to it,” Dietel said. “Once we did, we played very well.”

Jordan outscored the Royals 23-14 the rest of the half and went into the locker room trailing by one at halftime, 33-32.

“We felt like we dodged a bullet at halftime,” Dietel said.

The second half was back and forth without a lead larger than four points for either team.

The killer for Jordan was free-throw shooting, as they hit just six of 22 attempts.

“It just didn’t go in last night,” Dietel said. “It’s something that we’ve dealt with all season long.”

Maddy Dean finished with 24 points and Kelsey Chambers 17 for the Jaguars.

The Royals’ Janning led all scorers with 33 points.

The loss tightens up the Minnesota River Conference race, as WatertownMayer moves one game behind Jordan at 6-2. The Jaguars sit in fi rst place at 7-1.

ANOTHER BIG WIN For the five previous games, the Jordan girls basketball team’s story has been the same. The Jaguars jump out to a big lead in the fi rst half, extend that lead early in the second half, and then cruise home for the win.

The script led the Jaguars to five straight wins, including their 65-41 win

against Le Sueur-Henderson last Thursday night at home.

In those five wins, Jordan isn’t just beating their opponents – they are demolishing them.

Jordan had wins of 57, 35, 28, 37 and 24 in the five-game win streak.

In the win against the Giants, it could have been a bigger margin of victory if the Jaguars didn’t pull back in the fi nal 10 minutes of the game.

To start the game, Le Sueur-Henderson actually held a 7-2 and 10-8 lead before Jordan exploded.

“It has been a while since we’ve had to come from behind to start a game,” Dietel said. “We just weren’t getting back on defense early.”

After trailing by two, Jordan went on a 7-0 run for a 15-10 lead.

That’s when they picked up the pace.

The run extended to 15-4, as the Jags led 30-14 with seven minutes left in the fi rst half.

By the time the first half was over, Jordan led 42-22. They fi nished the half on a 27-12 run to push the lead to 20 points.

“Our defense really carried us, as we forced 32 turnovers and we were able to get many baskets in transition off of those turnovers,” Dietel said. “Also, our half-court defense was pretty solid, as we were able to keep their leading scorer to only two points for the game.”

To start the second half, Jordan continued to press, forcing the Giants into a number of mistakes.

The Jags took advantage of the Giants’ turnovers and pushed the lead to as many as 29 points at 58-29.

Dietel pulled his starters and played his bench until the game ended with Jordan winning 65-41.

Dean had a big game, scoring 22 points, grabbing 11 rebounds and adding four assists and three steals.

Chambers added 14 points, and Sam Hentges scored 11.

BIG STRETCH The game against Watertown-Mayer was the beginning of a tough stretch in their schedule for the Jaguars.

They play Norwood-Young America on Friday, followed by games against Mayer Lutheran and New Prague.

Norwood is 10-5 on the season and sits in third place in the MRC while Mayer Lutheran is 9-7 and is tied with Norwood in the conference standings.

“We are excited for the challenges ahead of us over the next few weeks,” Dietel said.

“We will be playing some very good ball clubs in Norwood-Young America, New Prague, and Mayer Lutheran.”

HUBMEN BASKETBALL

Late plays go Jordan’s way Boys top Redbirds with late hoop

Jake Andersen scored 14 points to led the Hubmen to a two-point victory against Montgomery-Lonsdale.

With just seconds left in a tie game, Jordan was looking for somebody to make a play.

Junior Nate Beckman stepped up and made a play that gave the Hubmen a 56-54 win on Friday night at Montgomery-Lonsdale.

Beckman drilled an 8-foot jumper as time expired to give Jordan its second Minnesota River Conference win of the season.

“We still need to do a better job with decision making and taking care of the ball down the stretch during close games, but we’re happy with the win. We needed it.” Urbanek said.

Both teams struggled early on to generate any kind of offensive flow. Both teams had a hard time scoring.

Montgomery-Lonsdale led at halftime 24-23 despite the rough fi rst half.

The second half was much better, at least for Jordan, as they scored 33 points, including the fi nal two points with time expiring.

With just a couple seconds on the clock and the game tied at 54-54, Jordan had the ball out of bounds under Montgomery’s basket.

On the inbounds play, Jordan missed the shot, but Beckman was able to get the rebound and with 1 second left on the clock, he drilled an 8-footer to give Jordan the 56-54 win.

“This was a challenging game for players on both teams, because there wasn’t much rhythm or flow to the game,” Urbanek said. “It required some mental toughness, and it required us to be able to create some of our own energy on the court. I thought we did a good job of those things, especially in the second half.”

In the second half, Jordan made a strong effort to get the ball down low in the post and score.

The strategy worked as the offense picked up and scored 33 points, many coming close to the basket or from the free-throw line because the Hubmen were attacking the basket.

Nick Heitkamp scored eight in the win against the Redbirds.

“We really focused on trying to get the ball into the post and attack the basket in the second half,” Urbanak said. “We shot a solid percentage from two-point range and the free-throw line as a result.”

For the game, Jordan shot 43 percent from the field while shooting 71 percent from the free throw line. The Hubmen only hit three of 18 three pointers in the win.

It was a balanced attack for Jordan, as Jake Andersen led the way with 14 points, Beckman added 13 and Micah Hennen scored 10.

6TH-GRADERS WIN

Match limits catch up to wrestlers Team takes second at Eastview invite

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Scott West’s intensive and busy schedule caught up to them last weekend.

Because Scott West competes in the top tournaments in the Midwest, this can happen to them from time to time.

What happened to them on Saturday at the Eastview Invitational in Apple Valley was match limits.

The Minnesota State High School Leag ue only allows wrestlers to compete in 36 matches before sections.

Because the Panthers had already competed in four tournaments, some of their wrestlers would have gone over the limit before the sections rolled along.

So the Panthers coaching staff decided to sit those wrestlers who were closest to going over that limit.

Scott West sat four of its top wrestlers because the match limit restrictions, and in all likelihood, it cost them the tournament title.

Shakopee took advantage of the Panthers’ issues to win the title with 210 points. Scott West was second with 196 points.

Shakopee placed 12 of 14 wrestlers in the top six, while the Panthers placed 10. “Sh a kop e e wa s t he b etter team (on Saturday), and they wrestled a great tournament,� co-head coach Darren Ripley said. “Sure, we were a little short handed (in the tournament), but with that said we fully came in with the objective to wrestle and win the tournament. But we just didn’t get it done and Shakopee deserves a lot of credit for that.�

Scott West and Shakopee will meet in a dual meet in St. Francis on Friday, Feb. 3.

Even with four wrestlers out, Scott West crowned three champions, the most in the tournament.

Freshman David Flynn won the fi rst title for the Panthers

as he defeated Farmington’s Jacob Gabbard 5-2 to claim the 106-pound title. “Good, solid win by David,�

Ripley said. “It was good to see hi m come back after giving up the fi rst takedown and score five straight points without giving any up.�

S en ior Lu ke B etchwa r s needed over ti me to defeat Faribault’s Brandon Peters for the 120-pound title.

Betchwa rs scored a late third period takedown to tie the match at 4-4.

Then in overtime, he earned a late reversal to win 6-4.

The final title came from senior Michael Kroells, who won at heavyweight.

Kroells pinned Coon Rapids Tanner Lowe at 2:55 to earn the title. Lowe is the No. 1-ranked heavyweight in Class 3A. Kroells pinned all three of his opponents and earned the outstanding wrestler award for his efforts. “ Textbook, pret t y much textbook,� Ripley said. “Michael really went out there and went to work, and it looked as though he wanted to make a statement.�

The Panthers got runner-up performances from Andrew Fogarty at 138 pounds, Charlie Pesch at 152 pounds and Mike Riker at 195 pounds.

Fogarty had to get through a loaded field in his weight class.

After getting a major decision in his fi rst match, Fogarty defeated Coon Rapids’ Darren Gagne and then Shakopee’s Patrick Casey. Casey is ranked 10th in Class 3A. Fogarty lost 3-1 to No. 2-rated Weston Droegemueller of Wayzata.

The other Panthers wrestlers to place were: Jake Weierke, third at 113 pounds; Phillip Dvorak, fourth at 126; Derek Dahlke, third at 145; and Patrick Dvorak, third at 160.

The wrestlers who sat out of the tournament were sixthranked Zach Siegle, thirdranked Luke Zilverberg, second-ranked Gabe Fogarty, and sixth-ranked Nick Dvorak.

Scott West also sent a team to the Henry Sibley Invitational on Saturday.

They finished eighth with 37 points.

Placing for the Panthers were: Jacob Backlund, fourth at 113 pounds; Isai Morales, fi fth at 126; John Hiegel, fi fth at 152; and Carter Piche, sixth at 103.

Piche is the son of Jason, who was Scott West’s first state qualifier, in 1991 at 135 pounds.

Shane Abraham (132 pounds), Oscar Negrete (138) and Ray Carter (182) competed for the Panthers but did not place in the top six of their respective weight classes.

The win against Norwood improved Scott West’s Minnesota River Conference record to 4-0 and setup a showdown with Watertown-Mayer Lutheran for the MRC title tonight (Thursday).

Both teams are new to the MRC, and both are 4-0 on the season. They will meet in Watertown. “We haven’t been in this position for a while, and although Watertown-Mayer Lutheran is new to the conference, we are pretty familiar with one another, as we have had some big recent meets that have decided the Class 2A, Section 2 championships over the last few years,� Ripley said. “I have been around coaching for a long time, pretty much all of my life when you consider I grew up with a dad that coached, and one of the things that I have learned is that you should never taken anything for granted with conference championships, section championships, state teams and state championships all being pretty special things.�

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.

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

Distinctive Destinations Looking for an exotic travel adventure, or at least an uncommon vacation destination? Here are five top picks for 2011 from Stacey Wittig, who writes the travel blog Vagabonding Lulu.

Five hot tipss for cool tripss Story and photos by Stacey Wittig

Tanzania: Safari; Zanzibar: Beach Holiday Experience the wonders of Africa’s wildlife by hot-air balloon. Get an up-close view of wildebeest herds pushing across the Serengeti, zebras zigzagging through endless grasses and elephants bathing in wadis. Go wild on a walking or vehicle safari and then sleep tight in your deluxe safari tent.

After witnessing the largest mass movement of mammals on the planet (say that five times), fly to Zanzibar, Tanzania’s “Spice Island” (see photo, page 10). Here on the Indian Ocean’s white sands, cultures have collided for centuries. Stay in exotic Stone Town where Arab harems danced for sultans, Indian spice merchants left splendid architecture and Dr. Livingstone (I presume) began his last journey into the Swahili mainland. Or stay at a beach resort for some of the world’s best scuba diving. www.adventuresinafrica.com.

Hike Peru’s Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

High Living Li Along Peru’s Ancient Pathways Adventure travelers love the trek to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas,” for its blend of l action, rugged beauty and lavish pampering. What do you call a four-day backpacking trip where polite porters carry your pa pack, learned chefs prepare exotic local foods, and hot wine is served at an fee above sea level? Vagabonding Lulu calls it “Gucci Camping.” alpine viewpoint 11,742 feet

A BOAT SHOW DOWN!

Tanzanian safaris take you deep nto African into landscapes.

The remote ruins, a UNE UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be reached by train, but the hardy – may th road less traveled, the Inca Trail. Acclimate for altitude in Cusco I add fool-hardy? – prefer the with a three-day stay at the lavish Hotel Monasterio, a former monastery dating from 1592. As the oldest inhabited city of the New World, Cusco will charm you with its Spanish Colonial churches, artisan selling crafts from arcades full of history. www.mayuk.com.

For students, the Frosty Fun pepfest is 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3, in the gym. Frosty Fun games will happen from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Friday this year.

The dance is in the high school commons from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., costs $7, and is semi-formal. As a tutorial, semi-formal means jeans are not allowed – even if they’re freshly washed.

Jordan students will get a little less time to enjoy April showers, due to a calendar mistake at Jordan Public Schools.

Monday, April 9, was originally a day off.

Students will go into school for a half day, and go home after lunch.

The change follows a mistake dealing with New Years Day, which fell on a Sunday this year.

School had been scheduled for the following Monday, but because the holiday was on a Sunday, Monday was a mandated day off.

The district couldn’t just let it slide by eating up time meant for a snow day. The district needs a certain amount of student contact time per year. If it didn’t make up the time, the district would not have been able to call a snow day without making up time later.

In addition, using a snow day would have resulted in losing about $68,000 in state aid, according to a district memo.

As it stands, the district has enough time to call only one snow day. If it needs to call two snow days, time would need to be made up later.

The district is already trying to make up time for Jordan Elementary School’s late start this school year, following mold cleanup. Busing between the elementary and Jordan Middle School has been switched.

Teachers also require a certain number of contract days, which was another topic of discussion. On April 9, teachers will work the entire day, using the afternoon for staff development.

Teachers actually were behind on their contract days, but at the Jan. 23 Jordan School Board meeting, board members voted to not require teachers to make up a lost eight hours.

“It was not their fault. It was the fault of whoever made the calendar last year,” Board Member Joe Benko said.

“I think this is a good compromise,” Board Chairwoman Deb Pauly said.

In the same meeting, board members, with a bit more discussion than might be typical, approved the school calendar for the next school year. In the new calendar, Jan. 1, 2013, is a holiday, and school resumes Jan. 2, 2013.

Barring any special circumstances, next school year will begin Sept. 4, 2012.
