INDEPENDENT DARE resumes in classrooms After a year off, students once again learn about risks of drugs

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Jordan police officer Shane Schultz asked a class of fifth- and sixth-graders if they were surprised at survey results that showed only 7 percent of eighth-graders nationwide use tobacco.

The class, and student Zach Schmit, said no, they were not surprised that most do not smoke. “I think they would have more common sense,� Schmit said.

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program is again under way at local schools after budget cuts put it on hold for a year.

“It’s nice to learn what not to do and how to take care of yourself when you’re older.�

Zach Schmit Jordan Middle School student Students at St. John the Baptist Catholic School spent the second day of class on Feb. 3 learning about tobacco. “It’s nice to learn what not to do and how to take care of yourself when you’re older,� Schmit said.

The DARE program aims to empower students to make good decisions, establish positive relationships with local law enforcement and educate students about the health effects of drug use. “It makes you addicted,� Schmit said. “So that’s why it’s important to never start.�

Gone are the days when DARE focused mostly on how to say no.

These days, the curriculum seems to include more on why a student would say no. At St. John’s school, students got a chance to make their own warnings for cigarette packs.

WALKING IN AN ICY WONDERLAND

County board votes 3-2 to keep case in house

An ice fishing contest can be fun even for those not huddled over a hole in the ice. Casey O’Hern (left) and her cousin, Amanda Downs, pull Sarah O’Hern on a sled, while trying to keep from falling on the ice.

Right – At the contest, Keith Whitaker of Shakopee was fishing with minnows. He was hoping for a repeat of the week before, when he was on Fish Lake and caught two sunfish, a crappie and a perch.

Scott County has hired an outside investigator to look i nt o a c ompl a i nt lo d ge d by a n u nidenti f ied cou nt y employee agai nst County Administrator Gary Shelton.

At least two cou nt y com mis Gary sioners have been Shelton interviewed by the investigator, an attorney who is unfamiliar with Scott County, but came recommended by two labor relations attorneys known to the county.

The investigation has been going on for six weeks. County Commissioner Dave Menden of Shakopee, who said he learned of the complaint “through the grapevine,� was unable to convince three board members on Tuesday to ask another county’s employee relations department to oversee the case. “It should be totally farmed out so that the end result, no one can say we controlled it in any way,� said Menden, noting that “some of the

allegations could be quite serious� if proven true.

Scott County Board Chairman Tom Wolf, who OK’d the contract for the investigator, said he insisted it be an attorney unknown to the county.

But Wolf wouldn’t support Menden’s motion to hire another county’s employee relations department to oversee the case.

Another county board would have to formally vote to take the case, and Wolf questioned whether Scott County would do this for another county if the roles were reversed. “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near this,� said Wolf. “I think you’re asking for something that no county will take on,� agreed Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage, who afraid it would delay the process. “A long delay is really unfair to the person complaining and the person being complained against.

There’s a cloud,� Ulrich said. “As long as it’s unbiased and fair, it should be handled as speedily as possible.�

Shelton, who is out the office this week, was absent from the meeting. “What other county would even

A solid 13-1/2 inches of ice last Sunday meant anglers and those seeking some fun were able to bring poles, tackle, sleds and kids to the annual Fish Lake Sportsmens Club fishing contest near Lydia.

“It’s good and solid,” said Joe Deutsch, a past president of the club and a Jordan resident. “People like to come out and have a good time.”

Earlier in the season, and even the week before, there were worries that the ice would not be thick enough for a crowd of people, even without vehicles.

Instead, it turned out to be a nice warm day to head out fishing, with no concerns for walkers.

Deutsch said the event would have been held regardless of ice thickness – on shore if need be. That’s only happened one time in the past 38 years, he said.

However, on Sunday, Feb. 5, trucks were not allowed out on the ice for the contest.

Instead, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) with trailers shuttled people out onto the lake, and sand was spread onto the bare ice between shore and the contest, to prevent falls.

“They’ll have just as much fun out here waltzing out as they would driving out,” Deutsch said.

As people started fishing around 1 p.m., announcer John Breimhorst was working up a hot mic announcing prizes and making sure everyone knew about the trailer where people could buy food and drinks. Jordan High School students had renovated the trailer before the event.

“That’s the Fish Lake Diner,” Breimhorst said.

Numerous organizations give donations for auctions, and raffle ticket sales help the club donate to school scholarships and programs.

Before the contest, Scott County Sheriff ’s Office Deputy Todd Beck checked the ice and made sure the event was complying with its permit.

“Everything looks good,” Beck said, heading off the ice.

He said no vehicles were being allowed near the contest.

“It’s just not as risky,” Beck said.

Colby Kaoline, 9, of Jordan was fishing with minnows.

Robert Nesbitt volunteered to drive an ATV so people didn’t have to try to walk all the way out to the contest.

Bob and Barb Hedstrom of Sand Creek Township sit next to each other, near Caryn Wolf of Prior Lake, after they all hopped on the trailer for a ride out.

Beck said that for next year’s event, drivers of ATVs should remember to not drive on the road, and keep to the ice when getting to the contest.

The ATVs being used by the club, however, were sticking to the ice while they were

shuttling people out to the contest on ice.

“Seems to be working pretty well,” Beck said.

Early on, the fishing was ramping up, with contestants pulling sunfish and crappies through the ice on a warm February day.

SCOTT COUNTY FAIR

Better water Áows from better thinking!

Longtime giver 95-year-old says she receives as much as she gives by volunteering Rosemary Lucius never got involved for the accolades.

Her super-volunteer resume includes work with Girl Scouts, a year on Jordan Senior Royalty, service as a Jordan City Council member, decades spent on the Scott County Fair Board, and much more.

“It was very exciting to do all the things I’ve done,” said Lucius, 95. “I mean, I get the benefit of all of this.”

This year, Lucius left the fair board after 45 years. Her building – creative arts – at the county fair will be headed up by another board member this year.

“It’s always been Rosemary’s building,” she said.

She’ll leave it to others, but not without winning the state’s highest honor for those involved in county fairs.

Recently, she accepted the 2012 County Fair Person of the Year for District 2, which includes Scott, Carver, Dakota, McLeod, Sibley, Nicollet, Le Sueur, Brown, Cottonwood, Watonwan, Blue Earth, Jackson, Martin and Faribault counties.

She has also won: I the Distinguished Service Award, given by the Jordan Commercial Club and Jordan Jaycees, in 1977; I the Girl Scouts St. Anne Medal from St. John’s “for all the work I’ve done with the girls,” Lucius said, that same year; I a spot on the Jordan Senior Royalty, alongside Ken Crane, in 2001-2002; I the 2003 Outstanding Volunteer for the Scott County Fair; I and the 1998 senior citizen of the year.

LIFETIME OF SERVICE During a lifetime of service, she put in: I 16 years on the city council; I two years with Meals on Wheels; I 50 years as a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church; I eight years on the Jordan Greening Committee; I 25 years with Jordan’s Helping Hand 4-H club; I 55 years with Girl Scouts, 40 of which she spent on the organization’s council.

For the Scouts, she’s also been a neighborhood chairwoman, troop committee mother, regional board member and consultant, service team chairwoman, Christmas green chairwoman, uniform chairwoman, cookie chairwoman, and Christmas party chairwoman.

“The Girl Scouts got to me early,” Lucius said.

Her volunteerism spiraled from there.

The nonprofit organization’s projects were closely tied with 4-H projects, and Lucius ended up in charge of rentals for the 4-H building at the Scott County Fairgrounds, which was originally located at where

For 4-H, she planned and attended meetings for a club that grew to 60 members, counseled 4-Hers on their projects, dealt with the food booth, and helped with oneday educational tours.

For church, she worked in the kitchen, served as a member of Christian Mothers, spent time on the church council, worked on the school building committee, led children’s catechism classes, and served as chairwoman for redecorating the St. John’s convent.

Lucius is a member of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life.

She married Francis “Fritz” in 1941. He died in 2006, after 65 years of wedlock.

Their children are Janice Bastyr of Shakopee, Mary Pilling of Henderson, Pat Will of Prior Lake, Wally Lucius of Jordan and Darlene Lucius of Chanhassen. Lucius has nine grandchildren, 11 greatgrandchildren and six greatgreat-grandchildren.

The children have been involved in 4-H, and Fritz tended to help out with his family’s endeavors – especially with tents for the Girl Scouts, as well as at the gate for the county fair.

SEASONS OF CHANGE When the fairgrounds moved out of town, politically, “it was no problem at all,” Lucius said.

Exhibits leapt from 300 during the last year in town, to 1,600 last year. Sometimes, the number increases by 200 a year, Lucius said.

Charging for parking was a bigger deal, she said. “These people want to run you over for charging for parking,” Fritz once told her.

The fair has come a long way, since the move, she said.

After buying 80 acres in St.

Lawrence Township, the fair immediately expanded.

“Adding buildings and things out at the fairgrounds has been absolutely unreal,” Lucius said.

Fair Manager Jim Luce said the fair office has a photo of the bare grounds and the more recent shots of the fairgrounds full of buildings.

Lucius is a staunch believer in keeping the fairgrounds looking nice.

Lucius personally planted 55 hostas on the grounds.

She believes in getting 4-Hers to contribute to decorating prior to the fair, she said, and haybale decorating is a prime example.

Children decorate the walls in the fair buildings.

“It’s still a pole barn,” Luce said.

Demonstrations in quilting, knitting, crocheting, the making of soda pop, and more go on in the creative arts building.

The historical society adds a nice touch with its demonstrations and presentations, Lucius said.

“You need to have things like that to bring people to the building.”

Fair board members attend an annual convention, where they share ideas about how to best draw crowds to the county fair.

“The draft horse show is the thing that brings people to the fair, besides the 4-H,” Lucius said. “(Without it), we probably would not be as big as we are.”

It’s fun to age, when you can converse and reminisce, Lucius said. “I plan on being 100. There is so much going on in this world, I don’t want to miss it. I just love all this new stuff. I like everything new, plus everything old, I guess.”

MORE CHANGE Lucius lost the most recent fair board election.

The 2012 fair board consists of: Dick Ames of Jordan; Kevin Bailey of Belle Plaine, president; Ed Bowler of Jordan, vice president; Rob Edberg of Belle Plaine; Terry Fahey of New Prague; Lloyd Friske of Prior Lake; Jim Glisczinski of Belle Plaine; Mike Kellen of Jordan, treasurer; Ralph Malz of Belle Plaine; Dave Minar of New Prague; Lori Pint of New Prague, secretary; Les Quatmann of Jordan; Megan Ryan of New Prague; Terry Stade of Shakopee; and Mary Siwek-Karamasz of Jordan.

Lucius admitted that she’s slowing down a little bit, with an eye on staying healthy.

She doesn’t quilt anymore, and she’s given up her

riding lawnmower, aka “her convertible,” she joked.

Maybe her age played a role in her departure from the fair board, Lucius wondered.

“I’m an older person,” she said. “I’ve got older ideas.”

But Luce called her the voice of fiscal responsibility on the fair board.

“I’ve appreciated Rosemary so much,” he said.

She’s an objective thinker, Luce added.

Lucius pointed out that the fair board has been coming out in the black, financially.

“I treat that like my own checkbook,” Lucius said. “I feel I’m doing them a real favor by doing this. And I’m spending taxpayer money.

Rosemary’s always the one who asks questions.”

Lucius said that the two new members of the fair board are going to do well.

“New faces and new thoughts are always good on the fair board,” she said.

Still, she insisted that some of what was done in the past was done better than now.

For example, 4-Hers always showed their own animals.

Today, the children are allowed to have their cows on someone else’s farm, a situation that the University of Minnesota Extension Office could simply disallow, Lucius said.

Also, years ago, entrants paid a fee – albeit a low one at 10 cents – which taught the 4-Hers to be responsible.

“The training’s got to come from home. It’s a different world,” Lucius said. “The world is changing, and you have to change with it. But I think it’s changing too fast.”

More recently, the fair has urbanized somewhat, Luce said. “We’re trying to appeal to Shakopee and Savage.”

New events and attractive fairgrounds keep people coming to the events, Luce said. “I’ve been fortunate.”

The board puts money toward facility upkeep, Luce said.

Despite all of the change in more than four decades of service with the county fair, Lucius always reminded Luce not to overlook the foundation of the fair, which has always been the Scott County Agricultural Society. Lucius bought a lifetime membership for $10.

Annually, the fair board updates the premium list for entries.

Fi f ty fa r mers ra l lied to the Ridges of Sand Creek golf course last week to ask that the Farm Service Agency office in Jordan stay open.

On Tuesday, the Scott County Board of Commissioners backed their concerns, with a letter it plans to forward to state and federal lawmakers.

“It just doesn’t make sense,” said Scott County Board Chairman Tom Wolf, following the board meeting.

C lo si n g t he F S A o f f ic e located at the University of Minnesota Extension Office building at the Scott County Fairgrounds in St. Lawrence Township as soon as July 1 is billed as a federal initiative to st rea m li ne gover n ment services. If the proposal goes

through, a new office would open in Farmington, consolidating the Scott and Dakota county offices but also serving Washington and Ramsey counties.

Such a move would leave 580 Scott County farmers to either drive to Farmington, choose a different office to which they will drive, or wait for FSA to catch up with the rest of the world in offering online services.

Wolf said the office closure will likely be a wash in costs because extra staff must be brought in at the other offices and the agency will also have to pay more in rent at both locations.

“Probably the way they (the federal government) works, it’s going to cost them more,” Wolf said.

Wolf also decried the extra

cost in time and travel for farmers, who already must come to the fair building in Jordan for other purposes.

“If you have friends, and they like you and what you’re doing, they’re going to volunteer.”

Of course, fair board members and staff still wants her help. Since leaving the fair board, will she become uninvolved in the fair?

“I wouldn’t say that,” Lucius said. “I will help them out and get this thing going.”

Without her, others can learn to be friends and call people, too.

You do not have to start over,” Vetter said.

The next step in the process is getting a presentation of the plan that includes cost estimates.

“We’re almost there,” Vetter said.

The board’s plan is to compare those costs to what it would cost to do a more significant overhaul and addition – roughly as much as $21 million – and make a decision looking at the district’s longterm needs.

Whichever option is chosen, it’s likely the district would need to seek money through a referendum. However, the timing and actual need to take the issue to a vote would depend on cost fi gures, among other issues.

EDITORIAL

Republican presidential candidates’ attacks remind us to stick to issues Republican candidates for U.S. President have taught us a lesson in recent weeks: Politicians should stick to the issues when the local election season heats up.

Early on in the race for a nomination, Republicans appeared to employ a keen strategy: Don’t let President Obama know just who he will be facing. They waged a unified attack against the opposing party and seemed to make headway toward their goal of shifting power in the White House.

If many Republican candidates stay in the race until the end, then any criticisms by a President running for re-election would be spread out among the Republican field, rather than pointed at a particular candidate – that appears to be the thought process Republicans followed.

Since last May, there have been 25 Republican Presidential candidate nomination debates, and four more are scheduled through March.

It took us 10 months to pare down a field of candidates that included the likes of Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Tim Pawlenty and Rick Perry.

We’re down to Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum – and we can have a manageable, easier-to-follow debate.

But personal attacks began.

And before we knew it, Republicans missed out on opportunities.

For months, Republicans had opportunities to unify behind a single candidate. For months, they have afforded themselves repeated platforms to share the anti-Obama message.

Instead of unifying, they have highlighted their personal differences.

Rather than using every second of

their time on the TV screen to talk about the Republican platform, they have spoken about why big media is giving so-and-so more time on the screen than them.

The Republican candidates look like bickering children, at times.

President Obama doesn’t have to campaign against them, because the Republicans are campaigning against themselves. As much as the President is helpless to combat a single political opponent right now – and it would be ill-advised to attack all four at once – he can focus on the job of leading our country. So there are good and bad sides to this for Democrats.

The next debate is scheduled for Feb. 22. The candidates who will attend have not yet been announced.

Debates are supposed to help voters decide which candidate to support. But so far, the unfocused debates and the ensuing big-media news coverage of who’s leading what poll and who’s dirt has been put out in the open only confuses voters.

We should pay attention to the issues being debated. Candidates should ignore personal attacks, fi nd a meat-and-potatoes candidate who stands a chance to become President, then wage an interesting, issues-focused campaign that brings the President into a substantial debate about who is most fit to lead the country.

Banding together is better for the Republican party, as well as debating the issues is better for all voters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EXPENSIVE EDUCATION

CREMATORY

Close department of Jordan City Council, education, save billions thanks for nothing To the editor: The government spends so much money on useless projects and departments that it’s hard to single out the one that’s the most damaging.

I would pick the Department of Education. I have some experience here, because I have four children and 15 grandchildren.

When I was on the school board in Jordan, we had a strike by the union.

I took one of my children out of public school and sent him to St. John the Baptist in Jordan. He went for two grades – 5 and 6. He learned how to read proficiently. He learned discipline. He was graded fairly. No one was given A’s and B’s as in the public school, where 50 to 60 percent are on the A honor roll.

In the public school, no one fails. I asked the high school principal about this, but received no good answer. The one redeeming thing about sports is that children learn to win and also to lose. They get an opportunity to fail.

In the public school, the pupils graduate from high school, go to college and many who received good grades in high school can’t pass the entrance test and have to take remedial high school courses at the parents’ expense. If they don’t do this, they drop out and try to get a job, equipped with very few skills.

When the local people ran the schools, it was much better. It not only cost less, but pupils were held to a standard, and if they didn’t meet the standard, they failed.

I failed geometry in high school. I learned a lesson.

Local control is the best. It costs less and accomplishes more.

After all, what good government department do you know of that operates efficiently. Close the Department of Education, save the tax payers billions, and the children learn more.

Thank you city councilmembers Mike Shaw, Sally Shultz, Joe Thill, Tanya Velishek and Jeremy Goebel for poisoning my family, my home, and my pet by allowing a toxic incinerator to operate 50 feet from my home!

Thank you for poisoning the children that have been coming to my home for childcare and for ruining my business.

Thank you for poisoning my neighbors!

Thank you for making my home unsellable!

Thank you for not listening or caring!

T hank you for poisoning ou r town, creek, Mill Pond, Mini-Met, and parks!

You are doing a great job turning the downtown into a ghetto with empty buildings and car storage!

You are doing a great job of changing almost every ordinance of this town into whatever works for some, and totally disregarding the comp plan.

You did a great job of disregarding most everything the planning commission put in front of you and doing your own thing!

Thank you for making it clear to the citizens of this town that only people you know get appointed to commissions.

Thank you councilmember/fi refighter for supporting the American Lung Association Fight for Clean Air but not the clean air for the members in the community that you live in and are supposed to represent!

You are doing a great job of being biased, close minded, small minded, and morally disgusting!

Or, thank you for absolutely nothing!

Very sincerely,

R.V. (Dick) Lucas Jordan

No need to chase carrots to improve water quality Federal policies shape what happens on the farm.

While that is true to an extent, it is worth remembering that regulations, studies and politics don’t actually do work on a farm.

They attempt to guide what happens.

The hard work is done by producers.

Many are making improvements to land that help protect water quality.

In my last column, I focused Deanna on why I thought Braatz a new federal partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the state of Minnesota might create more, not less, uncertainty when it comes to regulations on the farm.

Stan My view was Braatz that the federal government should beef up regulation for everyone rather than attempting to implement new policies in a less fair, piecemeal way. I also attempted to point out that not enough is being done to protect water quality in streams and rivers.

Of course, once again, regulations can guide what happens, but they don’t do the actual work.

Well, in the real world, we’re kind of stuck in the middle between knowing we need to do more and not having the political

and economic might to achieve quick results.

Still, in the real world, farmers, governments and environmental groups aren’t waiting around for a grand government plan to make all the difference.

They know they need to leverage what improvements they can with the dollars that are available.

And some farmers who care about water quality, wildlife and the natural environment are already on board with making improvements on their own land.

While they don’t solve the whole problem, these are worthwhile and notable efforts.

Each year, local soil and water conservation districts recognize these efforts with outstanding conservationist awards.

This past December, Stan and Deanna Braatz, a former Sand Creek Township couple, won the 2011 award from the nearby Sibley Soil and Water Conservation District.

“Once in a lifetime deal,” Stan said, calling the award a real honor.

The award given by the Scott County Soil and Water Conservation District – which Stan said he always wished he could

have won before moving to the Henderson area in 2007 – was given to the city of Prior Lake.

Stan and Deanna won the award for being stewards of the land and adding wildlife habitat.

In Sibley County, they added a series of water and sediment control basins, diverted water to control cropland erosion, and planted wildlife food plots.

When living closer to Jordan, they added about a 1/4-mile long buffer zone along Porter Creek, which dumps into Sand Creek, and added wildlife ponds.

“I’ve always been a lover of wildlife and natural resources,” Stan said.

A buffer zone usually consists of native plants that soak up water and resist erosion better than crops.

Because they live on top of the bluff near a scenic highway that runs along the Minnesota River, the efforts of Stan and Deanna will help protect water quality in the Minnesota River.

There is a cost, though.

Stan said he paid $4,000 just to install the improvements. The remaining cost was covered by the county and state – the total cost to install was $16,000.

Don’t forget that Stan’s contribution does not include short-term loss of not planting in the buffer zone.

Long term, maybe the buffer zone will make sure his land doesn’t wash into the river.

Stan said he thinks more and more people are becoming aware of the issues relating to farming and water quality these days. He said he knows he can farm right up to the edge of the woods. But he doesn’t.

“To me, that’s not a good practice,” Stan said.

Carver-Scott steps toward debt relief Special education cooperative gets closer to fees and staff cuts

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

A local school district is in debt – way in debt.

What happens next?

Immediate talks deal with dollars.

The more tangible impacts usually are felt in some combination of program cutbacks, shuttered buildings and lost jobs.

The big question is one of severity.

The debt-ridden Carver-Scott Educational Cooperative is dealing with a could-be-worse situation. That is, the co-op could have been gone if even one district completely pulled out of the cooperative.

However, in the past month, it has appeared to move away from such shaky ground by getting buys-in from its nine member districts to stay members as it moves forward with a 1-1/2-year plan to get out of statutory operating debt and emerge from a $1 million hole.

“I think we have the full support of that group,” Carver-Scott’s Executive Director Darren Kermes said.

Kermes met last week with superintendents of member districts.

“We have a tentative plan in place as to how to fund the core functions of the co-op for next year for each of the districts,” he said.

Superintendents agreed to the idea of membership fees, which will generate some revenue, he said.

“We’re going to put numbers to it and come back to them at the end of the month,” Kermes said.

On another front, the Carver-Scott governing board on Jan. 24 approved putting a Chaska building on the market.

JOIN THE CHAT SHARE YOUR COMMENTS

www.jordannews.com

The building, owned by CarverScott near Chaska Boulevard, is appraised at $1.5 million and houses four special education programs for students in the transitional ages of 18-21. MRCI WorkSource, an adult rehabilitation business at 1045 Stoughton Ave., rents space in the building that Carver-Scott hopes to sell.

“That would go a long ways toward paying off our debt,” Kermes said.

Another step is making about $500,000 in cuts to administration and office staff.

Those cuts could go before the governing board between the end of February and the end of March.

“It’s going to be administrators and office staff,” Kermes said. “We are going to do everything in our power not to cut teachers and our paraprofessionals and support staff.”

Deb Pauly, the Jordan School Board chairwoman and the district’s Carver-Scott representative, said that getting Carver-Scott out of statutory operating debt (SOD) is a work in progress that won’t happen over night.

“The tentative plan that (Kermes) laid out for us is a very good one and very grounded, and will help bring us out of SOD in a pretty good timeframe considering the amount of money that we are under,” Pauly said.

Carver-Scott’s debt was caused by billing errors made over a number of

years that came to light in the past couple years.

Also at the Jan. 24 board meeting, members heard a report on a merger between the more financially healthy Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative (MRVSEC) and Carver-Scott.

While talks of a merger have been ongoing for the past few years, Kermes said those talks are a separate issue from Carver-Scott’s debt.

“They’re two totally different animals,” he said.

A merger could save money for member districts by reducing duplicative services.

Pauly said there is a lot of overlap between the two.

“It just makes sense to combine them under one umbrella,” Pauly said.

ALC CHANGES Another tangential issue deals with area learning centers (ALCs).

The ALCs are one of several functions served by Carver-Scott. Lately, districts have been taking steps to run their own ALCs. So far, the Shakopee school district has formally given notice it will open its own ALC with a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) focus. Waconia gave written notice that it will take over Carver-Scott’s ALC. Kermes said he’s waiting for official notice from the New Prague and Chaska school districts.

Closer to Jordan, Carver-Scott’s ALC in Lydia is going to close after this school year due to a low number of students. About 30 students are based there.

“That’s going to happen regardless,” Kermes said.

Elda Alice Snell Elda Alice was born Feb. 24, 1917 in the family home in Webster, MN. She was the middle of three children of William and Louise (Dimmermann) Sandman. Elda’s childhood years were spent in Webster, attending a one room school house, where the bull would always chase her to and from school. She later graduated from the eighth grade. As a young gal, Elda enjoyed the local radio personality, Slim Jim visiting the family.

In 1940, Elda’s family was installing electricity in their home, when she met a young man named, Herbert William Snell. Herb saw her picture sitting on the mantle and knew Elda was the one for him. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, 1941 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Webster they exchanged wedding vows. They were blessed with six children, Carolyn, Henry, Sharon, Allan, Jerome and Sheila. Establishing a homestead on a farm by Fish Lake near Lydia, Elda and Herb filled the days with the day-to-day chores of a farm until 1963. Moving then to a home in the Davis Addition in Shakopee until 1987, they then made the final move to a home in Prior Lake on Maple Lane. Together, they enjoyed fishing and hunting at the cabin and traveling. Herb passed away Jan. 27, 2005.

Most of Elda’s career was spent being a loving wife and nurturing mother to her children. In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, she also worked caring for the elderly at Valley View Nursing Home in Jordan. Being a talented woman in the kitchen, Elda enjoyed canning the fruits of Herb’s vegetable garden. She also was famous for her cinnamon rolls. In her spare time, Elda loved to make quilts for each member of the family, pot holders, teddy bears and dolls. She also enjoyed crocheting, cross word puzzles, picking blue berries and taking pictures of everyone. Elda had a love for Dairy Queen treats.

Elda was a loving, caring, unselfish and gentle wife, mother and grandmother. A resident of Prior Lake, Elda Snell, age 94, was reunited with her husband in heaven on the early morning hours of Friday, Feb. 3, 2012, with her family present at her side.

POLICE Last week, the Jordan Police Department responded to 92 incidents – 17 citations, 19 warning citations and 56 calls for service.

In 2011, firefighters respond to 135 calls I n 2 011, f i ref ighters responded to 135 incidents i n t he f i re dist rict a nd surrounding towns – “not a tremendous amount, but it is up from 2010,” Jordan Fire Chief Steve Kochlin said.

He presented the annual fi re report to the Jordan City Council on Monday.

On average, 18 fi refighters respond to each call, the same number in 2011 as in 2010.

Other comparisons in the report: I Jordan responded to 118 calls in 2010.

I A t ot a l of 2 ,4 0 6 f i r e personnel responded in 2011, up from a total of 2,119 in 2010.

I The majority of calls related to rescue or emergency medical services – 41, up from 36 a year earlier.

I There were 29 fi res, up from 21 a year earlier.

I Calls about hazardous conditions but no fi re, as well as false alarms, were down.

I T wenty incidents involved citizens’ good intent, up from 12 a year earlier.

I Most 2011 calls occurred on Thursdays, but Saturday was the busiest day of the week in 2010.

I The busiest times of day for the fi refighters were 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. in 2011, but 7 p.m. was the busiest time a year earlier.

I Most of the incidents occur within the city. Sand Creek Township is the secondbusiest area. Helena Township called the fi re department five times, up from zero a year earlier.

“It’s not far off from other previous yea rs,” Koch li n said.

Mayor Pete Ewals talked about the fire department’s impressive professionalism when responding to calls.

“We’ve got a pretty good g roup of g uys. I mea n, everything runs smoother t h a n h e c k d ow n t h e r e ,” Kochlin said.

J o r d a n’s f i r e d i s t r i c t i ncludes t he cit y, as wel l as Helena, Sand Creek, St. Lawrence and Belle Plaine townships. Last year, the depa r t ment responded to calls in the cities of Belle Plaine, Shakopee, Carver, New Prague and Prior Lake, p u r s u a nt t o mu t u a l a i d agreements with the other area departments.

SHELTON continued from page 1

want to get involved if there i s no pr e c e dent i n t h i s ? ” asked Commissioner Barbara Marschall. “It will add time to the process and it’s already disrupting operations here. …

I trust the process.”

Assistant County Administrator Lezlie Vermillion, who called Scott County Employee Relations “stellar,” said all county employees are treated the same under the county’s complaint process. If farmed out, “this would mean that any employee could question that process going forward,” she said.

But Com missioner Joe Wagner of Sand Creek Townsh ip joi ne d w it h Menden , noting that when he was investigated recently for a possible confl ict of interest in the way he handled a constituent matter (that of his sister-inlaw), it was handed over to the Washington County Attorney’s Office.

“Here we have this person higher than I am and it waddles here in Scott County,” said Wagner. “That Scott County even selected this investigator taints it.”

Vermillion noted the Wagner case involved a criminal investigation, while this matter is an employee complaint.

Earlier this year, Wagner and Menden attempted to fi re the county administrator, but they were unsuccessful. There is no indication that the employee complaint is related to that effort. At the time, Wagner cited a distrust of Shelton and displeasure with the way Shelton talked about his personal fi nances, while Menden cited a long list of grievances, without naming them.

Menden said he lear ned of the employee complaint “through the grapevine.” He told the county board he was never informed of the complaint, nor provided a copy, by Scott County Employee Relations. “Which stinks,” he said.

“I had to hear it through a third party.”

TAWAYS! BACKYARD GE

Employee Relations Director Jack Kemme said this is the fi rst time the county has hired an external investigator to look into an employee complaint. He said his role is only to provide the investigator with phone numbers and requested documents.

Menden said he is fi ne with the investigator continuing, but just wanted the oversight handed to another county.

“My understanding is the attorney is going to come back and say these are the facts,” Menden said. “The attorney isn’t going to come back and can say we recommend discipline or no discipline or what kind of discipline. That’s what I’m looking for. A neutral party to come back and tell us, ‘Hey this is what our recommendation is’.”

The decision on what to do would be up to the Scott County Board, as Shelton’s supervisor.

Backing his concern, Menden said, is that he’s already heard that a couple elected officials were “browbeating” the complainant.

“Are we setting up ourselves for lawsuits?” he asked, if the investigation is overseen in house.

Marschall chastised Menden for making the assertion that others are browbeating the complainant.

“That is the kind of thing that an investigator will ask,” she said.

The county board was instructed not to reveal the parties involved in the complaint at the board meeting.

However, under the state’s data practices act, the county must reveal the name of an employee who is under investigation, according to media attorney Mark Anfinson, a consultant for the Minnesota Newspaper Association. But it can’t share details of the complaint unless disciplinary action is taken.

Although there is “no right or wrong” answer in this matter, Anfinson opinioned that it would not be unusual for a county to turn over an investigation of a high-level employee to another county.

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.

Tanzanian safaris take you deep nto African into landscapes.

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.

The Jordan Economic Development Authority will start its next push for development by writing down the fees for

businesses that create jobs.

The program is tentatively called Jobs for Fees.

“They would use their budget money – some of it – to do that,” Jordan City Administrator Ed Shukle said in an interview. “They want to do more.”

Prepackaged tax-increment fi nancing consists of selling bonds to write down fees and purchase lots, Shukle said.

But some commissioners have cold feet about the proposal, because without a business in mind, it involves high risk.

“The city’s on the hook for that debt,” Shukle said.

This year, fees for TIF and tax abatement applications increased to $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, coming closer to covering the city’s administrative costs but initially burdening businesses that seek fi nancial assistance for start-up or relocation costs.

The EDA is also working on its strategic plan and goals, essentially focusing and priori-

tizing its upcoming activities, Shukle said.

Some of the proposed future EDA initiatives include: an incubator program, which is meant to help businesses start within the industrial park; furthering city promotion and marketing (officials recently attended an industrial development conference and is encouraging businesses to consider Jordan as a location); devising a master plan for the revitalization of downtown Jordan; analyzing market forces and determining types of businesses that are necessary and good fits for Jordan; becoming more business friendly; remaining active in the interchange discussions related to highways 169 and 282; and supporting and suggesting regional transportation improvements.

“I think there’s potential for this thing,” Shukle said.

The committee meets on the first and third Wednesdays of every month, according to Shukle.

As the Jordan Historical Committee g rows roots, it must determine whether or not to partner with the Scott County Historical Society (SCHS).

With a new library coming to town, momentum is rising for historical exhibits to be put on display. The city is accepting donations.

Forming a Jordan historical society might be an enticing move for those who want to keep their donated artifacts in local storage, but Kathleen Klehr at the SCHS has said that the Shakopee-based nonprofit organization can provide necessary assistance as far as preserving any donations.

“There seems to be a difference of opinion,” City Administrator Ed Shukle said of the growing local committee membership.

Timberline Industrial Park is scheduled to soon receive more units at Jordan Mini Storage North.

A second phase of mini storage units, 7,920 square feet, was approved with a 6-0 vote of the Jordan City Council on Monday. Councilmember Sally Schultz was absent from the meeting.

A stormwater catch basin will also be added, per the development agreement, passed several years ago.

It will have a brick or stucco façade, and on Monday afternoon, a berm was added to the plans. But completed landscaping can be delayed until phase 3, or for three years, whichever comes fi rst.

“Staff is supportive,” Senior City Planner Joe Janish said, before a 6-0 vote to approve the new building and its surrounding parking lot.

“I used to live in Timberline, and these are perfect neighbors,” Councilmember Jeremy Goebel said. “I want to thank you for growing your business in Jordan.”

Three newly reappointed Jordan Park and Recreation Commissioners pointed out the town’s strengths and weaknesses, as prompted by city applications for seats on the park board.

Donna Breeggemann said the strength of the town is its small-town appeal. Bischke, too, listed small-town ambiance among Jordan’s strengths.

Bischke also said that Jordan’s natural environment works in its favor, but bluffs, railroad tracks and highways are down sides.

Bischke listed citizen involvement as something that is to the town’s credit.

Breeggemann, though, said it’s difficult to get new people involved with volunteerism.

Breeggemann said one of Jordan’s weaknesses is “communicating the good things.”

There is “too much bickering” in Jordan, Bischke wrote.

Of ficials are “stuck in the past,” he added.

I n one ph rase K nutson summed up the town’s strengths and weaknesses – “its inability to make decisions by trying to meet all needs to its citizens.”

Jordan, and his attorney are reviewing a proposed agreement in regard to a replacement for the historic Rice Street bridge.

For more than $1 million, the city plans to replace the bridge, which passes over Sand Creek, to the Mini-Met ballpark. The state will cover all but $112,000, which is the city’s share, according to Jordan City Engineer Tim Loose.

The city engineer’s Feb. 6 report to the Jordan City Council included this update: “We have also been coordinating with Carl Day regarding the project impact to his property. Our discussions have been summarized in a draft agreement presented to Mr. Day a couple of weeks ago.

“The agreement addresses issues related to the project, such as construction ease ments, right-of-way acquisition, protecting the building during construction, surface fi nishes along the building, dumpster placement and screening, new sidewalk along Water Street, and disposition of large trees near the building.

“Once Mr. Day has had a chance to complete a final review with his attorney, we will bring the agreement to the council for review and approval.”

City saves $136,000 by refinancing Refi nancing the 2004 bonds used to pay for Hope Pond, as well as improvements at Sawmill Road and Hillside Drive, will save the city almost $136,000.

Originally, the bonds financed $ 2.1 million of city projects.

“The total net savings in debt service is $405,885 over the next eight years,” Jordan Finance Director Tom Nikunen wrote in a Feb. 6 memorandum to the Jordan City Council, “but you need to discount that by the principal buy-down of $250,000 of debt service fund balance.”

Council reappoints 3 commissioners On Monday, the Jordan City Council voted 6-0 to reappoint three members of the Jordan Park and Recreation Commission. Councilmember Sally Schultz was absent from the meeting.

ourNeighbors Water meter opt-out plan costs hundreds

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

One of the options for noradio-frequency water meters at Jordan homes could initially cost an owner who opts out as much $1,065, as well as $30 a month.

Unless he has a partner in paying for the plan, which it seems he does.

On Monday, the Jordan City Council voted 5-1 to approve an opt-out plan that would allow residents to choose whether they would like their water meters manually read by Jordan Public Works – for a substantial fee. Councilmember Sally Schultz absent from the meeting, and Councilmember Thom Boncher cast the dissenting vote and also said he would opt out.

The cost of opting out has already decreased, Councilmember Mike Shaw said.

During several recent appearances before the council, resident Dick Thom pushed for an opt-out plan, claiming that radio frequency (RF) causes ailments that he said affect his family. He wanted to avoid having the Neptune meter installed in his home.

City staff reviewed the situation and recommended the council take no action, effectively continuing to require that Jordan Public Works use the E-Coder R900i to remotely read residents’ water use.

Doing nothing was not good enough for some councilmembers.

City staff offered five options for homeowner opt-out plans, but only three of them eliminated RF: I For $1,065 up front and $30 a month, the city would install a touchpad and purchase the corresponding water meter reader, as well as conduct maintenance and manual water meter readings.

“This would add 15 minutes in reading. Also, it would add to the uploading and billing aspect,” Jordan Finance Director Tom Nikunen wrote in a memorandum to the council. “It does provide zero RF’s, though.”

AN ISSUE WITH A PULSE

“We strongly feel our meters are safe and we will have to just agree to disagree with anyone that feels differently.”

Tom Nikunen Jordan finance director With Boncher and Thom both opting out, the cost to purchase the reader is cut in half.

If more residents opt out, the cost would be further lessened.

I For no extra cost to the city, the council could have approved an opt-out plan that removes radio transmitters from the water meters of those who opt out.

“We then charge some usage higher than their average,” Nikunen wrote. “Coon Rapids does this for four homes that refuse to let them in, at three ti mes thei r highest water usage. The residents sign a contract that they won’t fight their bills.”

I For about $ 30,000, the city could have wired the R450 water meter outside of a home.

“There are no advantages to the city or Mr. Thom on this one. (Two other options) have zero RF’s and are much less costly, so I think it’s safe to throw this one out at the beginning of the discussion,” Nikunen said.

In recommending that the city stay with the same water meters for everyone, city staff felt it showed that more RF’s come from wiring, lights, cable or satellite TV, microwaves, radios, cell phones, electric meters, gas meters or solar radiation than from the city water meter, Nikunen wrote.

“We strongly feel our meters are safe and we will have to just agree to disagree with anyone that feels differently.

“Let’s put this issue to bed, and stop killing time and trees by bringing it up over and over again.”

The pulsating Neptune water meters caused a stir with city staff this summer, when Thom brought up the issue with Boncher, who asked for discussion to be added to council agenda.

This week, Boncher’s agenda item suggested “discussion and decision whether any further action is necessary.”

He a l so w rote t h at t wo other options for the council would be “an advisory comment to staff to collect comprehensive information about the microwave specifications of various smart meters” or “a request to staff to prepare a proposal for a spot survey of microwave readi ngs i n homes.”

Nikunen countered with a third agenda item, requesting that the council “please respectfully decline the request for another meter option.”

On Monday, Thom offered up a packet of materials, one proposal from which suggested selling the Neptune meters for scrap metal.

Since 2007, city workers have been replacing 2000 vintage Datamatic Firefly water meters with Neptune smart meters and remote readers, saving P ublic Works time spent on manual readings.

At a cost of $250 apiece, the city spent $ 260,000 on 1,040 new meters, Nikunen wrote.

“That doesn’t include the man hours to install or software costs.”

During Monday’s meeting Nikunen estimated the city’s investment to be in the range of $400,000.

“I don’t think it’s very feasible to scrap the whole project, like Mr. Thom says,” Nikunen told the council. “I don’t think that would be a wise use of our money.”

COMMON EQUIPMENT Thom and Boncher have been arguing with city staff about the science behind their complaints and questions, respectively.

Nikunen cited scientific arguments but also pointed

FLOOD CONTROL

out that the Neptune meters are commonplace. They are used by the majority of cities in Minnesota, he wrote. Belle Plaine, Savage and Prior Lake, for example, use the same equipment.

Earlier this month, Councilmember Jeremy Goebel asked for information about what St. Paul allows as an opt-out option.

Nikunen provided a re sponse from St. Paul Regional Water Services, explaining that St. Paul allows a different meter to be installed and manually read – for a cost to the resident.

Jordan city staff felt “offering an opt-out to another meter type is a waste of time and seriously unwarranted,” Nikunen wrote.

In his memo, Nikunen asked that if the council chooses an option that it be akin to the optout plan in St. Paul “where the people pay for the actual cost to order a la carte.”

SETTLING ON AN OPTION The council settled on an option similar to St. Paul’s optout plan, except Councilmember Joe Thill was adamant and direct about making sure the city won’t lose money on the deal.

He wanted payment for: I the time Public Works employees spend installing a new water meter; I monthly maintenance; I special trips to the home for water meter reading; I reinstallation of the Neptune meter once the house is sold; I and any equipment to read the new meter.

The city won’t do any custom wiring jobs at residents’ homes. Best to leave that work to professional electricians, the council decided.

Public Works Director Dave Bendzick was not entirely happy with the discussion.

He said that if the new meters take 10 to 15 minutes to read and 12 people opt out, “now it takes us more time to read 10 houses than it does tot read the rest of the city.”

Important support Governor pledges to lend hand to local flood control

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

MORE ONLINE

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton pledged his support last Friday for raising the County Road 101 river crossing and making it four lanes from the get-go, as local leaders prefer.

“I f t he f i rst $ 2 5 mi l lion comes through, I’ll be glad to work with your legislators on the other $10 million,” Dayton said.

New estimates show that raising County Road 101, along with improvements to the Highway 169 bridge for flood purposes, would cost nearly $ 31 million.

It’s just another $6 million to widen the County Road 101 crossing to four lanes, which could also possibly limit closures during road construction.

T he state’s cu r rent two lane proposal would require a 12-month closure.

That would be “devastating” to merchants who’ve already endured three floods closures in 15 months, plus three road construction projects,” former Shakopee Mayor John Schmitt said.

Only $25 million is available in competitive metro bridge funds for flood mitigation. The winner will be selected in about two weeks.

“You’re positioned pretty wel l i n t h at comp etition,” St ate T ra nspor t ation Tom S o r e l t ol d a g at h e r i n g o f around 50 civic and business leaders from Carver and Scott counties.

If County Road 101 is successful, another $12 million in funding would be required to make a four-lane project a-go.

Local leaders will seek $10 million in state bonding, contributing highway turnback dollars (attached to the half-

county owned crossing) for the rest.

“We’ll do all we possibly can,” said Dayton, who recalled the record-breaking flood sign on County Road 101, which shows how high the waters rose in 1965.

During the spring flooding last year Dayton promised to return to the area to talk river crossings.

He thanked state Sen. Claire Robling, R-Jordan, for reminding him and helping make the meeting a reality.

The state studied what it would take to raise the County Road 101 or Highway 41 crossing, concluding that County Road 101 has the greater transportation benefit since it carries more cars and can be raised higher than Highway 41.

Both Carver and Scott counties support the County Road 101 crossing’s selection as the preferred option for an improvement.

Like he did last spring, Dayton gave out his personal home phone number to the group in case local leaders don’t get the progress they need.

The meeting was held at the Scott County Law Enforcement Center in Shakopee.

Local officials also spoke to the governor about other issues affecting the local level, including broadband Internet restrictions, development laws and the lack of a transit corridor definition for Highway 169, which makes it difficult to compete for bus rapid transit dollars.

HUBMEN BASKETBALL

Quick starts lead to wins Boys start fast to defeat Norwood and Glencoe

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

After suffering through a tough week, the Jordan boys basketball team bounced back with one of their best weeks of the season.

The Hubmen got two big wins to improve to 9-10 on the season.

Both wins came at home and were important in their own ways.

On Monday, Jordan defeated Glencoe-Silver Lake 73-50 in a matchup of section opponents.

On Friday, they defeated Norwood-Young America 48-47 in a Minnesota River Conference matchup.

Both of those wins should help down the road, especially the Glencoe-Silver Lake win.

“It was a nice win for us, especially since it was a subsection game,” head coach Matt Urbanek said. “This will help for playoff seeding.”

Jordan took control of the match early on, the team they played with more fire than Glencoe-Silver Lake in the first half. It showed on the scoreboard.

The Hubmen exploded for 38 points in the fi rst half, while their defense held the Panthers to just 15 points.

“We came out with a great deal of intensity, and that really showed up in our perimeter defense again,” Urbanek said.

“I felt like we controlled the game with our guards on the defensive end.”

Strong defense gave Jordan plenty of opportunities to get points in transition and from the free throw line.

“We got easy points in transition and from the free-throw line, which takes some pres-

In the second half, Jordan never let Glencoe take a long run at them and won by 23.

Jake Anderson led the way with 19 points, while Nate Beckman added 13 and Micah Hennen 10.

Against the Raiders, Jordan opened up a big lead in the fi rst half and was able to hold off a late run to get the conference win 48-47.

The win improved Jordan’s Minnesota River Conference record to 4-6 on the season, just two games out of second place.

Watertown-Mayer is undefeated in conference play and holds a four-game lead over second place.

Jordan started hot in the fi rst half, as the Hubmen hit four straight three-pointers early in the game to build a

16-7 lead. Beckman hit three of those three-pointers.

They held the momentum the entire fi rst half and went into the locker room with a 30-21 lead.

Norwood played better in the second half, but Jordan fought through and earned the victory.

“I was really proud of our team (last Friday),” Urbanek said. “We put a strong effort on the floor against a very solid team. Our perimeter defense was very good, our post players rebounded well, and we shared the ball well on the offensive end. We had contributions from a lot of guys.”

The Hubmen have a chance to move up in the standings tonight (Thursday), when they host Mayer Lutheran. T he Crusaders are in second place in the MRC.

Second-ranked Hastings visits to close regular season

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

The wrestling season is coming to a close, but the Scott West wrestling team isn’t winding down.

The Panthers finish the regular season this weekend with three very tough matchups, including their highly anticipated match against Hastings, the No. 2-ranked team in Class 3A. If Scott West can get past New Prague, Windom and Hastings this weekend, they would complete a perfect regular season with a 21-0 record, which would make program history.

Scott West also fi nished last season undefeated and if they can go unscathed this weekend, they would have back-to-back undefeated regular seasons for the fi rst time in the program’s history.

But making that history won’t be easy, because all three opponents are having strong seasons.

New Prague is the Missota Conference champions, while Hastings is ranked No. 2 in the state behind Apple Valley.

Scott West will travel to New Prague tonight (Thursday) to take on the Trojans and Windom before hosting Hastings at Jordan High School on Friday night.

“It should be an exciting back-to-back nights of wrestling,” co-head coach Darren Ripley said. “New Prague is

having a very good year this year, and Hastings is Hastings, and the Raiders have really turned it up this year over the second half of the season.”

The Panthers and Hastings are no strangers to each other.

Scott West defeated Hastings 37-24 a year ago.

This year’s match should be very close, as both teams are ranked second in their class and have numerous ranked individuals.

T h e R a i d e r s h ave fou r ranked wrestlers, including second-ranked Luke Rowh at 113 pounds.

Scott West has nine ranked wrestlers, including No. 1 Michael Kroells at 220 pounds.

The top matchup of the night cou ld come at 113 pou nds, where Rowh could meet up with Scott’s West Zach Siegle, who is ranked No. 6 in Class

2A. Siegle has been out with an injury the last couple of weeks, and it’s not known if he will be back in time for the Hastings match.

“We have a great deal of respect for the Hastings program, as they wrestle hard and have always been well coached with the likes of Paul Vaith and now Josh McLay,” Ripley said. “The people might want to come and check this one out, because this is what Scott West wrestling and Minnesota high school wrestling is all about.”

The Panthers prepared for the big weekend matches by sweeping the St. Francis Triangular last Friday night.

First, Scott West defeated Class 3A’s No. 10-ranked team, Shakopee, 64-12. They followed up with a 56-12 win against St. Francis.

Against Shakopee, Scott West won 12 of the 14 matches and got nine pins in the process.

Getting pins for the Panthers were: David Flynn at 103 pounds; Luke Betchwars at 120; Gabe Fogarty at 145; Charlie Pesch at 152; Patrick Dvorak at 160; Nick Dvorak at 170; Jake DeWeese at 182; Mike Riker at 220; and Kroells at heavyweight.

K r o el l s pi n ne d t he No. 2-ranked wrestler in Class 3A. Also getting wins were Jake Weierke, Luke Zilverberg and Andrew Fogarty.

“We got after it pretty good,” Ripley said. “We scored nine pins, so that was good, but we gave up two pins and that’s not so good.”

Against St. F rancis, the Panthers jumped out to a 29-0 lead, as Flynn, Weierke and

Betchwars recorded pins in the fi rst three matches.

Betchwars and Phil Dvorak followed with a technical fall and forfeit to open up the big lead.

Scott West also got wins from Gabe Fogarty, Pesch, Pat Dvorak, Lee Vest, Nick Dvorak, and Jake Schultz.

NINTH-GRADE STATE Eighth-grader Ben Kelvington represented Scott West at the ninth-grade state tournament and came away in fourth place.

“Ben lost a couple of close matches, and I am sure that he would have liked to place higher,” Ripley said. “However, with that said, fourth in the state at this level is a good showing, and hopefully, Ben will continue to progress with a bright future ahead of him as a Scott West wrestler.”

JAGUARS BASKETBALL

With two wins, Jordan nears conference title

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

With two big wins in the last week, the Jordan girls basketball team moved closer to the Minnesota River Conference title.

The Jaguars defeated Sibley East on Monday night and Mayer Lutheran last Thursday to improve to 11-1 in conference play.

They maintain a one game lead over Watertown-Mayer, who is 10-2 on the season.

If Jordan can win its final two games, against Belle Plaine and TriCity United, the Jaguars would win their fi rst conference championship since the 2008-2009 season, during which they went 14-0 in conference place.

Against Sibley East, Jordan won 7654 to get their 15th win of the season.

Jordan started slowly. Sibley East hung with the Jaguars early on and even held a 7-6 lead.

After that, it was all Jordan. The Jaguars went on a 12-3 run to grab an 18-10 lead.

The lead grew as high as 12 points before Sibley East was able to cut the lead to 34-26 at halftime.

The second half was all Jordan, as the Jaguars scored 42 points and slowly pulled away from the Wolverines. “We made some very nice plays on offense and defense in spurts throughout the entire game,� head coach Greg Dietel said. “But we were not as consistent as we need to be at either end of the floor. It will be important for us to focus on our consistency as we prepare for a very tough game versus Belle Plaine on Friday.�

BIG WIN Every win is big, but some can feel bigger than others.

For Jordan, the win against Mayer Lutheran was one of those games.

By defeating the Crusaders in overtime, the Jaguars kept their one-game lead in the conference standings and knocked Mayer Lutheran out of the running.

Jordan recovered from a slow start to defeat the Crusaders 59-54 in overtime. “This was a huge win for our team,� Dietel said. “It kept us on pace

Mayer Lutheran started fast and used its size to its advantage as it built a nine-point 34-25 lead at halftime. “We struggled in the first half containing their inside game,� Dietel said. “I didn’t feel like we were physical enough at all positions, and we were allowing them to be a little too comfortable out on the perimeter.�

1 OF 100 MITTENS

continued from page 1

COLLEEN EISCHENS

Bruce Hunstad, vice president of the Jordan Commercial Club, shows students and Principal Stacy DeCorsey a bag of winter gear. “This is huge. If you look out at our playground, there are lots of kids without hats and mittens. They just don’t have them at home,” DeCorsey said. A first donation kicked off the 100 things a month giving campaign for the Jordan Commercial Club in January. The club donated mittens, hats and other winter apparel to the Jordan Elementary School’s Blessings in a Backpack program. This February, the club plans to team up with a local daycare to donate valentines to seniors at the Schule Haus in Jordan. The donations commemorate the club’s 100th anniversary.

Eischens works at Chiropractic Specialists, following positions for the U.S. Navy, Northwest Airlines and Scott County Court Administration.

She volunteers so much that a top-25 list was employed to follow her, of which the following is only a slice.

Eischens is a member of the Brewers Baseball Association, where she often is a familiar face in the concession stand. She greets parishioners and visitors at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, volunteers at the Jordan Area Food Shelf, at area care facilities, and for the Scott County Fair.

She volunteers in Jordan Public Schools, and works as an election judge.

Living in and raising a family in Jordan has been a source of pride for Eischens, who taught her children and grandchildren the value of volunteering.

JOSEPH HENTGES Hentges grew up being exposed to the family farming operation.

While a student at Jordan High School, he was a member of Future Farmers of America.

After high school, Hentges graduated from South Central College in Mankato in 2007 with

Bottom – Bruce Hunstad (left), vice president of the Jordan Commercial Club, Jordan Elementary School Principal Stacy DeCorsey and club member Tom Nikunen stand in a room where backpacks are kept for students in need.

a degree in agricultural business.

His farming operation includes growing and harvesting corn and soybeans on more than 650 acres, of which he rents and owns portions. Hentges also does custom planting and combining for neighbors.

This year, Hentges bought a tiling machine, and can do drainage on his land and custom tiling for neighbors.

Hentges’ hobbies include fishing and taking trips out to Colorado and Montana to snowmobile in the mountains.

JULIE BECKIUS Beckius graduated from Jordan High School. She also earned her degree at the College of St. Catherine while running a daycare and raising children.

She’s volunteered at St. John the Baptist Catholic School while her children attended there, was a faithful chicken cleaner for the fall festival, and was chairwoman for the Guatemala Day fund-raiser.

Beckius has volunteered in Jordan Public Schools, recently with choir events and the all-night graduation party.

She’s a member of the Jordaness Lions. In the club, she’s helped raise funds and develop a mentorship program known as the Social Cats.

Beckius was a Miss Jordan royalty mom, and balances numerous activities with work and family life.

Remark. (Comment blog.)

Jordan police officer Shane Schultz teaches class during Dream Job Day, while Olivia Wolf (left) and Danielle Wolf listen.

DARE

“Warning, smoking puts the health of your family and friends at risk,” Molly O’Hern said.

continued from page 1

But it’s not all gloom at DARE class.

Students who might have expected a stern police officer teaching in heavy tones instead found a class that had as many lighthearted moments as warnings about lung cancer or addiction.

“Does anyone know who the surgeon general is?”

Schultz asked.

“Obama? No,” he said, responding to one answer. He explained that, actually, the surgeon general is appointed by the president.

“I put Surgeon Danielle’s warning,” Danielle Wolf said.

Other students listed off their warnings: You can die.

You’ll never get good friends or a wife. May cause shortness of breath.

MORE KIDS THIS YEAR Because of the year off, the DARE program is including fifth- and sixth-graders this year, so that the program doesn’t skip a grade. Fulltime officers Schultz and Jeff Strack are teaching the classes on Fridays.

Next year, only fifth-graders will take DARE classes in Jordan.

The Jordan school district, which includes St. John’s school, is contributing $5,000 toward the part-time school resource officer position that allows for the DARE program in Jordan. The Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative (MRVSEC) is also contributing $5,000 of the estimated $11,300 cost to fund the position.

T-shirts, manuals and other supplies for the program, which cost $1,500 per year, are funded by a combination of penalty assessments given to drug and alcohol offenders by the court, forfeitures, donations and fund-raisers.

Schultz has been teaching the classes for four years, and said the early classes are about establishing a relationship with students.

“You come in and it’s automatically a who’s-goingto-jail kind of thing,” he said.

Between Schultz and Strack, 300 students will be taking DARE classes this year, with about 40 per class.

Strack recently completed his training to teach DARE.

www.swnewspapers.com

Schultz said officers undergo a two-week training course before teaching DARE. “What they’re teaching you is how to be a teacher, as well as a police officer,” Schultz said.

They learn how to keep discussions age appropriate, and to put the issues into context for students.

It can be important for officers to practice what they preach. Schultz said he does not smoke, and told the class at St. John’s school how when other police officers smoke, the police car can smell like

smoke when it’s his turn to take over on duty.

“You have to be cognizant of what you’re doing in the public eye,” Schultz said.

On the other hand, it’s important to not come down too hard, since students have loved ones who do smoke, or might use other drugs.

Students sometimes say their dad or grandpa smokes.

“You want to be a little careful when you get a question like that,” Schultz said.

Questions also surface that have less to do with drugs and alcohol and more to do with police work.

At Jordan Middle School, one student wanted to take a look at Schultz’s clip of extra ammo.

The police belt always seems to draw looks.

“Are we going to get to use your Taser?” asked Jennifer Wolf at St. John’s school.

There’s a special DARE box made for those kinds of questions, as well as those that

students aren’t comfortable asking in class.

Last Friday, however, most of the questions and discussion stayed on topic.

Students seemed to be picking up the material.

St. John’s student Anna Andersen said learning more about cigarettes makes her not want to smoke as much, and she learned that it’s bad for the body – even for those who are not smoking but inhale secondhand smoke.

She mentioned the thousands of people who have died from secondhand smoke.

“So many people have died from not smoking,” Andersen said.

While there have been studies out that have called the DARE program’s results into doubt, Schultz said that locally, the program will have been worthwhile if it prevents even one kid from using or abusing drugs.

“We can say we taught them the risks involved,” Schultz said.

ROCKETS TO DODGE ON THE COURT Maddie Dean reaches up as the volleyball screams downward during a game on Feb. 3. Frosty Fun Week let students have some midwinter fun, especially on Friday, Feb. 3, during the Frosty Fun games that included volleyball and dodgeball.

Bianca Thong, and Kevin Way in the background, try to keep their team’s hopes alive. During dodgeball, those who got out were lined up along the side waiting for someone to knock down bowling pins that were on each end of the court – signaling everyone on the sideline to get back into the game.

Right – Nathan Kelly’s hat keeps him both warm and visible on the court. Friday was Winter Gear Day at the high school.

‘How we met’ and other love stories from readers

V

alentine’s Day is all about the love, and if you’re married there aren’t many stories more sentimental than how you and your partner met, how your marriage proposal was made, or how your life remains full of love after many years of marriage.

Those stories are often sweet, funny … and perhaps a little unusual.

We asked readers to tell us how they met their spouses, to share funny or unique marriage proposals, or simply tell us a love story. The best of those responses are on this page. We thank these brave readers for their stories.

Honoring the spirit of love As a native of Eden Prairie, my career took me to Newport Beach, Calif. in 2005. While there, I met a beautiful woman named Jen who shared many of my passions. Long walks along the beach and weekend trips around the West fueled our excitement.

Within a year, I knew I had to snag her for good. By May 2011, we were married and ready for the next adventure. What we didn’t realize was that fate, via a wonderful career opportunity, would bring us back to the Twin Cities soon after. Many of her friends and family couldn’t believe she would move to such a cold place, given she had grown up in Las Vegas and never even driven in the snow before.

But since our move to Prior Lake in August, Jen has shown an aggressive enthusiasm for everything our beautiful area has to offer. From the farmer’s market to Cleary Lake dog park, volunteering at local charities to spearheading a trip to the St. Paul

‘I can’t believe I actually did that’ I met my husband at Sears when it used to be on Lake Street in Minneapolis. I worked in menswear, and the tailor shop in back of menswear was also a break area.

A new guy, a really handsome guy, was taking his break.

I asked the tailor, a good friend, to introduce me. He said “Nah,” if you want him to fall in love with you, just take this hanger which he had broken open to a straight wire.

He tied a string to each end and tied the string together at the top. “Now,” he said, “hang this string around his ears and bang on the wire and he will love you forever.”

Winter Carnival, Jen has shown her taste for the flavor of life ever since we moved here.

It is just that spirit that caused me to fall in love with her from day one.

So, I can’t believe I actually did that, but I went ahead and did just that.

We were happily married in Jordan 3-1/2 years later.

With fond remembrance,

Boy meets girl at Radermacher’s The store was quiet, nearing the end of the night. There was something lonely about that store when we approached closing. The hustle of the day was drawing to an end and the aisles were empty.

I wasn’t alone; there was a cashier up front and my best friend was

in the front of the store sweeping, cleaning up after a long day. It was the night before prom, and I was feeling lonely.

The empty store wasn’t helping.

I walked up to the front of the store to help clean up, and as I rounded the corner, I saw her for the fi rst time. Well, I had seen her before, of course; we worked together. But I had never really seen her before.

She was at her register, waiting patiently for customers. She had long, straight brown hair and a beautiful smile. We had talked before, on break or while we were working. I always joked with her, because she seemed to have a sense of humor similar to mine.

I approached her, not sure of what I would say. I hoped that I could make her laugh, while asking her to get to know me at the same time.

I struck up a conversation. I don’t remember what we talked about that night, all I remember is what happened at the end of the conversation.

“Are you going to prom?” I asked.

“No,” she replied. She didn’t say much because she was very shy, but that’s one of the things I found so unique about her.

“Your boyfriend won’t take you, or what?” I questioned. I was joking, but it was a delicate question to ask.

“I don’t have a boyfriend,” she answered.

“Do you want one?” I asked with a grin.

She shyly laughed and turned away to hide her face. Later that night, she accepted my invitation.

That was April 24, 2009.

Over the next couple months, we got to know each other well, and we spent the whole summer together.

We faced one daunting challenge at the end of the summer, and we knew it was coming. She had been accepted to South Dakota State University, while I was going to attend Michigan Technological University.

That fi rst semester was the hardest of our relationship, but we got though it with the help of Skype.

We did some research and discovered that there was a school within five minutes of mine that supported her major. She quickly applied to Finlandia University and was accepted.

We have been inseparable ever since.

Last summer, on July 14, I proposed to her, and we will be married on May 12 this year.

I am so grateful that I worked on that lonely night with that cute, shy cashier, because she has changed my life forever.

Crash my Corvette, survive anything The following story is completely true and I have my wife’s OK to send it to you, too … lol.

I had come back from a long day at work and my (then-fiancée) took my 1975 Corvette for a spin.

I trusted her and she knew where the keys where kept, so this was not out of the ordinary.

Her best friend arrived, and seeing her gone, decided to wait for her by sitting on my motorcycle, which was parked in front of my car.

Seeing her friend waiting my then-fiancée went to park the car back where it was, and as she parked, the carburetor on the car surged and she hit my motorcycle with my Corvette and knocked her best friend to the ground.

She was quite worried on how I might react, and when she told me, I asked if her friend was OK. We were married shortly after that.

I figure if I can live through her hitting my motorcycle with my Corvette, I can live through just about anything … chuckle.

Dan Elke figures if Shannon could crash his Corvette into his motorcycle and he could survive, he might as well marry her.

I do love you, Shannon; life is never boring.

Love,

Dan Elke Jordan

It only took 28 years…

Steve and I fi rst dated when we were 22 years old. We dated for about a year, broke up, got back together, broke up again but remained friends.

I moved to Denver and we saw each other several times but lost touch for many years. I found him on Facebook three years ago, fully expecting that in the 13 or so years we hadn’t talked that he’d be happily married with kids. I simply wanted to touch base with him. He wasn’t married, nor was I, when I came from Milwaukee to visit. There ensued a fairy tale.

Our enjoyment in being together was as i f we were 22 years old again, and our love resonated. We got engaged shortly thereafter and upon announcing this, both of our families sighed, “Finally!”

I married the only man I have ever loved on Oct. 9, 2010 and we are

John Herzog reflects on the love of his life and the resulting blessings, including grandchildren, shown oldest to youngest, Emma (left), Jacob, Ethan, Isabella, Rowan, Andrew, Ethan and Asher.

Family provides lifelong blessings I have truly been blessed in my life.

My wife, Colleen, and I have lived in Jordan now for over 30 years, and this has become our home. We have raised five wonderful daughters (Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Emily and Molly). And we now have eight beautiful grandchildren (Emma,

Jacob, Ethan, Isabella, Rowan, Andrew, Ethan and Asher). We have three great son-in-laws (Ted, Chris and Jeff), as well. They all reside in the metro area; it is so nice to have them close.

No matter how difficult life can get at times, family always brings me back and reminds me of what is

truly special and most important of all.

In February, Colleen and I will celebrate 40 years of marriage. I would just like to say how much you mean to me. I love you. You are the best part of my life.

How we met: Upon arriving in Sydney on vacation, Stacey went to climb the Harbour Bridge to see sights of the beautiful Harbour City.

By a twist of fate, Dan led Stacey’s climb and they spent the whole tour together. A longdistance love blossomed – you can’t get much more distance than between Minnesota and Sydney! – and after hundreds of phone calls, e-mails, and texts, international visits, and an intercontinental move to Sydney … four years later, we are starting the beginning of another new journey together as husband and wife.

There was a very special trip to

Fiji in 2010, when Dan surprised Stacey by taking her away under the guise of it being her birthday present.

It was during this trip that Dan popped the question on the beach, after fi nding a rare shell while snorkeling and putting the ring in the shell.

In December, 60 of our family and friends joined us back in paradise for our dream wedding on the beach in Fiji, including Jordanites Dave and Karen Kreuser, Lisa Kreuser, Emily Plooster, and Katie LaPlant.
