INDEPENDENT Thrice bitten, not shy to say call off your dogs Post office says aggressive dogs have become an issue recently

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Peter Catina just started his job as a mail carrier with the Jordan post office.

He’s grateful to have work. In the last 18 months, Catina was laid

off from a job as a college professor because of recession-caused cutbacks. The bank foreclosed on his quarter-million-dollar house. He lost his mother to cancer.

He got divorced from his wife – an expensive process as his ex-wife is a prominent lawyer.

“The floor fell out from underneath me,� Catina said.

So he packed up everything he owned into a U-Haul truck and drove from Pennsylvania to Minnesota to start again delivering mail, working on publishing research, and freelance writing.

He keeps upbeat about it all, and tries to find humor in adversity.

On his second day on the job as a mail carrier in Jordan, he was bitten by a dog.

According to a report from the Jordan Police Department, an officer responded to a report of a dog bite that happened Feb. 8 in the 700 block of Herbert St. According to the report, Catina was delivering a

package to the residence when he was bitten by a dog, and the dog punctured the skin and caused bleeding.

Police said there were no known independent witnesses of the event.

Catina said he was delivering a package to the door, as is protocol when a package doesn’t fit in the mailbox.

As the city prepares to build a new trail along Old Highway 169 (County Road 66), Scott County has requested a speed study on the route.

Such a study isn’t likely to occur on Highway 282, though.

Not yet.

While the two Jordan thoroughfares have been discussed as potential areas for speed reductions, conducting a speed study requires a little strategy.

Jor d a n Cit y C ou nci l memb er Mike Shaw recently recommended that the city proceed slowly with a landscaping plan along Highway 282. “I’m surprised the uproar the park and rec commission is taking,� he said in response to the recently released minutes from a Jordan Park and Recreation Commission meeting in late November. “That’s not a happy topic.�

Busi nessow ners voiced t hei r opinions at a meeting Monday, Feb. 13, at the city hall. The city council also was invited to the meeting. “Currently, we have complete and total opposition to the existing plan,� Tim Yokum, owner of Holiday Superstore, wrote in a Feb. 10 e-mail to the City Administrator Ed Shukle.

T

he former St. John the Baptist Catholic School building is still standing. But it’s not making any more memories.

Students go to class across the street in a fancier setting.

Most of those who attended classes in the old building have grown up.

Memories remain, but sometimes it takes a physical item to really bring back the past.

A little more than 20 years ago, students at St. John’s sealed up items in a time capsule, on Dec. 4, 1991.

Errors were published on page 9 of the Feb. 9 issue of the Jordan Independent. Jordan City Councilmember Thom Boncher wrote a report about water meters on June 20, 2011.

The council voted to prepare opt-out options on Jan. 17. Thus, the Feb. 6 meeting agenda reflected the council’s wishes, not merely those of Boncher.

An error was published on the front page of the Dec. 29, 2011, issue of the Jordan Independent.

By hosting quarterly town hall meetings, the Jordan City Council is trying to reach all of its residents.

“We’re having discussions and trying to accommodate everyone’s needs,” Councilmember Tanya Velishek said.

On Feb. 4, those who attended the town hall meeting discussed: I the Rice Street bridge, near the Mini-Met ballpark; I proposed bump-outs and dedicated bicycle lanes on a soon-to-be-reconstructed Highway 21; I protocol at meetings, and the conduct of city officials, commissioners and citizens; I communication related to citizens’ public comments during council meetings; I a broken area in the road near the Fourth Street railroad crossing; I and business input for the proposed landscaping enhancements along Highway 282.

Roughly 25 people attended the gathering at the Jordan fi re hall.

Velishek ran the meeting with Councilmember Jeremy Goebel. Mayor Pete Ewals and councilmembers Thom Boncher and Sally Schultz also attended.

Boncher proposes donation to library C ou n c i l m e mb e r T ho m Boncher brought up a surpr i s e prop os a l to r e duc e city council salaries by 10 percent in 2012 and to apply the savings to library-related costs.

“It’d be really nice for the council to make a donation to the library,” Boncher said last week.

In reality, a decrease in mayor and councilmember pay couldn’t, by law, go into effect until 2013.

“This is probably my last term, and I’m not going to hamper future councils,” Goebel said. “Don’t spend other people’s money.”

The motion failed 4-2, with G o eb el a nd c ou nci l members Mike Shaw, Joe Thill and Tanya Velishek dissenting. Councilmember Sally Schultz was absent from the meeting.

“I look forward to seeing your donation,” Goebel told Boncher.

100 YEARS!

Our Family was blessed to be one of the many recipients of a monetary donation and a college scholarship that was sponsored by the wonderful people who coordinated The Mar(Adamek) & Linda(Stier) Memorial that took place on January 28th in Jordan, MN. Being on the receiving end of such kindness and generosity has brought a ray of light to a very dark hour as our Mom, Christine(Miller) Carey enters the last part of her journey on earth due to cancer.

We cannot say THANK YOU enough to both of these wonderful families and all the people who donated their time, items, and money to such a great cause!

This is an annual event and one that we will always hold near and dear to our hearts.

God Bless, The family of Christine (Miller) Carey

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton presents Sarah Beckius with her award in front of a gathering of more than 1,500 agingservices professionals.

“Sarah Beckius is the kind of caregiver we all hope will be there for us when we need help.”

Gayle Kvenvold Aging Services of Minnesota to lend a helping hand and is deeply committed to ensuring the dignity and independence of the older adults who live at The Lutheran Home.

“My work has become a part of me and I truly receive more than I give,” said Beckius said.

“I feel I can make a positive difference every day for our residents and families.”

Beckius has developed special expertise in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, training staff to better serve the growing number of residents living with these diseases. Beckius also attends to families with as much dedication and skill as she does residents. She hosts a community Alzheimer’s support group to help people understand the

challenges their loved ones are facing and give them the tools to manage difficult, emotional situations.

“For Sarah, this is her life’s passion,” said Dennis DeCosta, administrator at the Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine. “It isn’t a job to her, it’s what she wants to be doing and we are so grateful to have her as a friend, colleague and leader for the past 31 years.”

Aging Services of Minnesota is an association of more than 1,0 0 0 organizations across the state dedicated to serving seniors.

The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine offers skilled nursing care, including transitional care services, long-term care, and memory care.

Better water Áows from better thinking!

A question that comes up in my office from patients is how they can deal with bad breath. It is both a health and social issue.

Some patients are able to target “morning breath” with mouth rinses and good hygiene habits such as brushing the tongue or using a tongue cleaner. But some patients tell me that they still feel that mouth odors continue throughout the day. Some causes for this that I see in my office can be a bite-related problem and/or crowded teeth that cause plaque and food debris to hide between the teeth where the patient has difficulty reaching with the toothbrush or floss. Although an alcohol-free mouth rinse may help, the mechanical removal of debris with a toothbrush and floss is still best. Another reason for bad breath issues that I see is with patients that tend to breathe with their mouth open. Perhaps they have sinus or other respiratory problems that cause them to have trouble breathing with their mouth closed. What this does is dries out the mouth and without sufficient swallowing, the teeth aren’t naturally cleansed with saliva as often. This is also what happens when we sleep, the mouth drops open and we swallow less, thus resulting in “morning breath.”

Other causes for bad breath can be genetic reasons or other health problems and certain medications can affect the natural flora of the mouth. Other reasons can be the result of spicy foods high in garlic or onion as well as tobacco and alcohol, which also dry out the mouth. For adults, periodontal disease, or gum problems can also lead to bad breath. Some tips to deal with bad breath would be: 1) Brush the teeth and tongue twice per day, morning and night for minimum of two minutes each time. 2) Floss once per day preferably at night. 3) Use a tongue cleaner if your tongue has a white coating that forms often. 4) A mouth rinse is not necessary, but if you choose to use one, make sure it is alcohol-free to keep from drying the mouth 5) You can use sugar-free breath mints or chewing gum 6) And, You guessed it…..see your dentist twice per year to keep on top of your oral health. And if your dentist has bad breath, tell someone on staff to give them a breath mint.

On Wednesday, Feb. 8, Sarah Beckius, a Belle Plaine resident and Jordan native, was named 2012 Caregiver of the Year by Aging Services of Minnesota – the highest honor awarded to Minnesota caregivers who dedicate their lives and careers to serving older adults.

Beckius is a social worker who has spent her entire 31year career at the Lutheran Home campus in Belle Plaine.

She serves older adults at the Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine.

Her career at the campus started at the Lutheran Home: Hope Residence, an intermediate care facility for people with developmental disabilities.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton presented Beckius with her award at an event held by the Aging Services Institute, a gathering of more than 1,500 aging services professionals in Minneapolis. The governor also delivered remarks about the critical role of caregivers as the number of elderly in Minnesota grows dramatically.

“The caregiver of the year award is about honoring the very best of the best,” said Gayle Kvenvold, president and chief executive officers of Aging Services of Minnesota. “It’s also an important opportunity to show Minnesotans the face of the people who care for our loved ones when we cannot. Sarah Beckius is the kind of caregiver we all hope will be there for us when we need help.”

Caregivers like Beckius are the unsung heroes in Minnesota’s healthcare system, according to a press release from the organization. The deep commitment, talent and contributions of caregivers like Beckius rarely receive the public recognition they deserve, it continued.

Beckius is a leader at the Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine, mentoring and training fellow caregivers and selflessly taking on a wide range of duties to improve the quality of life for her residents. She is the fi rst

Thumbs down to partisan proposals for redistricting Thumbs up to …

Caretakers of history: The Shakopee-based Scott County Historical Society offered to partner with the Jordan Historical Committee, a grassroots organization full of adamant defenders of local mementos, to professionally preserve your historical keepsakes.

Donations would undergo museum-quality care, work which – no offense – local historians are not ill-prepared to conduct. Items would be safely stowed and categorized in Shakopee, where the conditions would be just right for preservation.

And if you want to see or show off your previous donations, just give the historical society a call.

The county historical society has the tools to make sure your donation is properly handled and long lasting.

Just wait until you see the historical displays that will showcase Jordan in the new library.

This is a genuine partnership into which the local historical committee should enter.

The organizations are looking for local participation. To become a Jordan Historical Committee member (for free) or to donate, call the city hall at (952) 492-2535.

100 giveaways a month: Creative thinking has inspired the Jordan Commercial Club, one of the city’s longstanding civic organizations, to create a yearlong celebration that we all can enjoy.

Last month, the commercial club gave 100 mittens, hats and winter apparel to Blessings in a Backpack program at Jordan Elementary School.

This week, club members handed out 100 valentines to senior citizens.

In the Jordan Commercial Club, we have a valuable asset that gives back to the town.

Another new Girl Scout cookie: The Jordan Girl Scouts are out and about, hawking their famous wares.

A delectable new treat, Savannah Smiles, will tickle your taste buds with powdered sugar-covered lemon flavor. The new cookie is named after the hometown, Savannah, of the founder of Girl Scouts.

Did you know that the Girl Scouts turn 100 this year? A centennial event, called the Great Girl Scout Gathering, will take place at the big mall on March 10-11.

Did you notice the new Girl Scout shop – complete with a cookie booth Feb. 20 to March 11 – in the Mall of America?

These are door-to-door sales to look forward to.

Thumbs down to …

Redistricting plans, or lack thereof: Legislators think they are drawing party, not district, lines. Perhaps they are in need of more education on the subject of redistricting.

As if their other recent exploits aren’t enough, the Minnesota Legislature has shown itself to be one of the most divisive we’ve seen in office.

UP & DOWN COMMUNITY ISSUES

At least the Republicans are putting forward a plan for redistricting that has enough legs to get to the House floor.

Democrats ought to counteroffer, if they can’t back the colleagues’ offering. Republicans ought to take a run at another plan that addresses the concerns of their colleagues.

Coming up with a plan that works for Minnesota – rather than another court-ordered miscellany – is vital.

Neither party is focusing on the necessary perspective: Residents deserve representation. Which party wins or loses in the redistricting should not be the issue.

Legislators, please base your redistricting decisions on what makes sense for your districts, which you know best. Don’t base your decision on politics.

Frankly, it would be more than surprising if the legislature could come up with a plan. It’s shocking that they got to vote on one at all.

It’s practically a foregone conclusion that the redistricting debacle will end up in the courts Feb. 21. A five-judge panel will take the politics out of the equation, but what a waste of a judge’s time – solving partisan bickering.

Agreeing to a plan for redistricting could prove what the legislators say: That they can work in a bipartisan fashion. But we’ve all heard those words before.

Think about this …

Cou nty red ist r ict i ng : Scott County must make a redistricting decision, as well. Will the county put commissioners Dave Menden and Joe Wagner in the same district?

Video brochure of Scott County: How is that video brochure that Scott County pitched as a boon for cities?

In haste, Jordan signed on. The town wasn’t supposed to be highlighted, but besides a footnote about the nearest city to the Renaissance Festival, our city barely got a mention.

In the county, is there any one community that ought to be highlighted at the expense of others?

Mathias Baden, editor of the Jordan Independent, wrote this editorial.

Get more for your money with museums WHY THIS MATTERS

BY FORD W. BELL AND KATHLEEN KLEHR

Visitors to the Scott County Historical Society are familiar with some of the highlights of our collection, such as a 1942 New Prague letter sweater, diplomas, discharge papers, wedding dresses, World War II veteran oral histories, but perhaps what you did not see on your most recent visit were children making groundhog puppets in our Kids Kraft program that introduces children to museums and promotes reading.

You might ask, rightly, why a museum in Scott County might initiate such a program. It does not seem the normal museum fare. But the Scott County Historical Society does this because it is keeping with our mission of public service, a mission common to all of the estimated 17,500 museums across the country.

What’s your return on investment?

While federal funding of museums has been decreasing for 20 years, you still get a lot for your money.

Institute for Museum and Library Services funds for museums nationwide total $31 million – “budget dust,” as one congresswoman termed it. For that sum, the government got back $2.2 billion last year in educational programs created and delivered by museums.

Not a bad return on investment.

NOT ALONE

DO MORE

The Scott County Historical Society is not alone in this type of unexpected community service.

Here are scenes you might witness in other institutions across America: I The Alzheimer’s sufferer pauses in the middle of the gallery, looks around her at the paintings, then smiles and whispers words of delight to her companion, a museum docent trained in elder services. The art inspires memories, connections, a feeling of well being.

I The father, after months in prison, approaches his preschool daughter cautiously. He is hopeful, perhaps, of her acceptance and affection, but he is unsure of how she will react, or even if she will recognize him. The mother sits nearby, vigilant but silent. There are others in the room with this shattered family – not prison guards or social workers, but museum staff trained in family therapy.

I The Iraq War veteran, scarred mentally and emotionally from an experience that most of us cannot imagine, takes a stance before a painting in the museum. A therapist is at his side, ready to help him use

A lot of the public and the media, and a majority of elected officials, think of museums only as places that hang expensive pictures on their walls. Many do, expertly and to great effect. But for the past 20 years, museums have been doing more.

The American museum today is oftentimes also a school, a community center, a resource for livelong learning, even a town hall.

Inner-city kids in Los Angeles go to a school at the California Science Center for the kind of quality, hands-on science education that has long since disappeared from most public schools.

Families in Long Island newly arrived in this country go to the Nassau County Museum of Art where they learn language skills and literacy using the museum’s collection as a teaching tool.

Children with autism and their families go to the Minnesota Science Center in St. Paul to work with specially trained museum docents.

Museum professionals are proud of the many kinds of community service they provide, and they think you should know about them.

But why should it matter, given all the urgent problems we face, nationally and globally? Because in the weeks to come, Congress will have to decide where and what to cut or de-fund. The federal Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a rare government agency that has been praised by the Government Accounting Office for its efficiency and effectiveness, has been targeted as a cut, along with the National Endowment for the Humanities and that perennial political football, the National Endowment for the Arts.

Not that museums are heavily dependent on federal funding.

Government support has been in steady decline for 20 years, down to a median figure of just 3.4 percent of annual operating budgets in 2008.

IMLS funds for museums nationwide total $31 million – “budget dust,” as one congresswoman termed it. For that sum, the government got back $2.2 billion last year in educational programs created and delivered by museums. Not a bad return on investment.

For these and myriad other reasons, we ask that you lend your voice to ours on Feb. 28. It is on that day that more than 300 museum professionals from all across the country go to Capitol Hill to tell Congress about the valuable service their institutions are providing to their communities.

We understand you might not be able to join us in Washington, but your voice can be heard nonetheless. At the American Association of Museums’ website (speakupformuseums.org) you will find easy tools to enable you to let your elected representatives know how much you value your community’s museums.

It’s time to let Congress know that museums are not only vital entities in our communities. They are our communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CITY COUNCIL

Newspaper errs on 1 story, ignores publishing another To the editor: On Feb. 9, 2012, the Jordan Independent reported: “This week, Boncher’s agenda item suggested ‘discussion and decision whether any further action is necessary.’”

Sorry, nope. Didn’t happen.

I did bring an agenda item to Jordan City Council at the Feb. 6, 2012 meeting. It was that the salary of all councilmembers be cut by 10 percent, and the money applied to paying for the library. The mayor seconded my motion. After discussion in which my motives were questioned, and I was criticized for bringing something before councilmembers without warning – who would do such a thing? – the motion failed by a 5-2 vote.

JORDAN

INDEPENDENT (USPS 276-940)

The JI, for reasons of its own, chose to not report this item. Incidentally, two other items were added to the agenda that evening.

Unfortunately, what was reported was erroneous. The agenda item I fi led (well in advance) regarding discussion of water meters came before the Council on Jan. 17, 2012. That evening the council, not I, asked staff to prepare options for possible opt-out plans.

As has been reported in the JI, I’m a stickler for accuracy. I hope readers will realize the paper frequently runs events together, juxtaposing what happened at one meeting, with things that happened at another. I also hope those of you who have been confused by these juxtapositions will realize they’re not my doing, and not within my control.

Thom Boncher Jordan Editor’s note: Jordan city clerk records show the vote was 4-2.

Winter carnival representation Miss Jordan shares the best of town with others

BY ALI PAULY

On Jan. 26-29, I had the amazing opportunity to go to St. Paul for the Winter Carnival.

The whole weekend was filled with so many fun events.

They had told us before we had arrived to be prepared to eat a lot and sleep little. They definitely weren’t kidding.

There were around 85 queens and some who also brought their royal courts along. The girls were from all over Minnesota, and also parts of Wisconsin.

The first night I was there, we all introduced ourselves and what our towns and celebrations were all about to get to know one another a little better.

We also got to walk in the Moon Glow Parade, which was really cool to see all of the lights at night.

The next day, we got the chance to check out the ice sculptures and historical buildings in downtown St. Paul.

A few other girls and I had the chance to go ice skating, and it was such a blast.

During that evening, we attended the coronation of the St. Paul Winter Carnival.

It was so much fun, and it was so exciting to watch the new royal court get crowned. It was amazing to see how much work had gone into the coronation to make it as entertaining and unforgettable as it was.

On Saturday, we met Vulcanus Rex and his crew.

After that, we walked in the

Later that night we had a talent show with all of the royalty, and also got to meet and take pictures with the new St. Paul Winter Carnival royal court.

It was an absolutely unforgettable weekend, and it was such an amazing experience. I not only left St Paul with a huge smile on my face from having such a great time, but I also left having gained many great new friends, as well.

ourNeighbors LANDSCAPING

SEE IT YOURSELF

continued from page 1

DOCUMENT OF THE WEEK IS ONLINE

“However, we would foresee suppor t to a plan that has consistent goals between city and business owners,” Yokum wrote.

Mayor Pete Ewals argued in favor of the landscaping plan for the Triangle Business District, near Highway 169.

“I can’t believe that we live in a community that’s against trees,” he said.

Some trees – “not a forest” – will be purchased by the M i n ne sot a D epa r t ment of Transportation, Ewals said.

Businesses are located along the stretch of roadway into Jordan, they pay a lot of taxes to the city, and their opinions matter, Shaw said. “It’s not like going down to Lagoon Park and planting trees.”

While Ewals said he believed that businesses would not be negatively affected by additional

SEE A MAP OF THE REVISED LANDSCAPING PLAN PRESENTED THIS WEEK AT WWW.JORDANNEWS.COM

trees in the area, Shaw said that’s the mayor’s opinion and “businessowners don’t think it’s a very good opinion.”

Councilmember Thom Boncher, council liaison to the park board, said that the committee tried to accommodate the businesses and the residents. Still, he said, the park board is unanimous in its belief that the highway business district is not pleasantly walkable.

At the December meeting of the park board, one businessowner was in attendance.

“If they choose not to have input, that’s their privilege,” Boncher said.

Then, on Feb. 8-9, the city mailed and e-mailed interested parties notices about a special meeting of the park board scheduled for Feb. 13.

“I would appreciate further notice than two business days.

I would like to offer significant input,” Yokum wrote in his e-mail.

Shukle wrote back, saying that Yokum may suggest a convenient time to meet and the city will “try to make it work.”

Senior City Planner Joe Janish said there will be a walkable workshop, too. Notices will be sent to interested parties.

DUST UP Businesspeople have voiced a lot of issues with the proposal – and they’re not done yet.

Meeting minutes from Nov. 28, released in the Feb. 6 city council information packet, told a tale of concerned merchants and a waff ling park board.

Mike Waltman of Bolton & Menk Inc. presented two plans – one for a clump of trees, another with the trees spread out.

Business representatives brought up concerns about sightlines and safety, the number of trees proposed, lack of grant money for beautifying properties, potential city spending on the project, whether landscaping would survive a new interchange at the intersection of highways 169 and 282.

Representatives from Holiday, Frandsen Bank and HomeTown Bank expressed displeasure with the original options, and Boncher got an unfavorable response from Wolf Motors about business incentives for beautifying the district, the minutes said.

Park board members repeatedly stated that tree shade would be good for the business district, according to the minutes.

But Commissioner David E. Hanson said he views business

concerns as a roadblock to the project. “Part of him wanted to eliminate the project, although he also wanted to see more green in this area,” the minutes said. “He said he hoped the commission could fi nd a happy medium. (Lee) Radermacher said he wasn’t sure a happy medium existed.”

The park board downsized its original options, including fewer trees, no shrubs, and a mix of a canopy of trees and smaller ones that can grow under the big ones, as well as taking into account the sightlines and business signs in the district.

MAYOR’S RESPONSE Ewals was blunt in his response Feb. 6.

“The trees are not going to hurt the businesses,” he said.

“I know where Radermacher’s is, and I won’t forget.”

Some compromise is necessary, Ewals added, because the business district should be an enjoyable and attractive.

When the Scott County Development Agency (CDA) builds its senior housing complex near the intersection of Creek Lane and Seville Drive, foot traffic in the Triangle Business District will increase, Ewals predicted.

Senior citizens will walk to McDonald’s, for example, he said.

Ewals related how he walked through the business district and across the highway to retrieve his car after a repair.

It was last summer, and he brought a bottle of water. But it wasn’t enough – the shade-free walk was “brutal,” he said.

Ewals told the council – although he had to gavel at least seven times to keep Shaw from interrupting – that the business district must be developed into a hub of commerce, tying into “our whole area.”

Why businesses would advocate for scorched earth is beyond him, he said. “Scorched earth isn’t going to sell. …

People want trees. … We can do better.”

When medication or laser therapy fails to reduce the inner-eye pressure often associated with glaucoma, a trabeculectomy may be recommended for the treatment of severe glaucoma. Also referred to as “filtration surgery,” this procedure involves making a small opening in the “drainage angle,” the point in the eye where the colored part of the eye (iris) and the white covering over the eye (sclera) meet, through which extra fluid can drain. While this procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis, patients must wear an eye dressing during the first night after surgery and an eye shield at bedtime for up to a month. Some patients also experience vision loss, which, in the majority of cases, subsides over time.

If you suffer from glaucoma or any other eye malady, schedule an appointment today to get the help that you need. We can provide you with the services and information to keep you and your family’s eyes healthy. We offer a complete eye and health examination for each patient. We pride ourselves on outstanding customer service.

Come on down to 223 E. First Street, Suite 101, or call us at 952492-2350. It is important to maintain a level of ocular health. Do not wait; schedule an eye exam today!

P.S. Between 2 and 4 million people in the United States have glaucoma, which can cause blindness by damaging the optic nerve.

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.

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.

High Li Living Along Peru’s Ancient Pathways Adventure travelers love the trek to Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas,” for its blend of action, rugged beauty and llavish 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 alpine viewpoint 11,742 fee feet above sea level? Vagabonding Lulu calls it “Gucci Camping.”

A BOAT SHOW DOWN!

The remote ruins, a UNE UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be reached by train, but the hardy – may I add fool-hardy? – prefer th the road less traveled, the Inca Trail. Acclimate for altitude in Cusco 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, Inca ruins and sweet artisan artisans selling crafts from arcades full of history. www.mayuk.com.

publicsafety STUDY

JOIN THE CHAT

continued from page 1

Despite whether or not city officials or residents prefer lower speed limits, studies might unexpectedly show that a speed-limit increase is more appropriate. Conducti ng a speed study can be a risk.

“Sometimes, with this stuff, it’s always timing,” Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz told the Jordan City Council last Monday. “And (for Highway 282), I just don’t think this is the correct timing.”

In last week’s report to the council, Malz, chairman of the Jordan Safety Committee, detailed the police department fi ndings about speed.

Malz said that he previously tried to lower speed limits along Highway 282, near the eastern border to the city, but state officials weren’t taking the bait. If he makes another proposal to the state, officials will want to know what is new.

Once any proposed trails are built on the Jordan hill, then the situation will have changed and maybe the state will review the speed issue, Malz conjectured.

During last year’s committee discussions about a trail in the Mill Street neighborhood, residents raised concerns about perceived high traffic speeds as a reason not to construct a trail along Highway 282, east of East Street.

“I personally agree with them,” Malz told the council.

“I just don’t think it’s going to happen.”

Police have conducted speed su r veys i n t he a rea, Ma l z wrote.

“The recorded speeds of nearly 1,000 vehicles showed that most of the vehicles were traveling at or near the posted speed limits,” he continued.

“We know that although a number of factors are considered by the state in setting or adjusting speed limits, by far the most weight is given to the 85th-percentile formula. This means that most vehicle operators will travel at a speed that is safe and prudent for the existing roadway condition. If 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling

within or near a posted speed limit, that is the correct posted speed for that area.

“So analysis of the data would show that the state would not lower the limit.”

Neither would the meager number of reported accidents in the area support a change in speed limit, Malz said.

Still, the safety committee wanted the issue brought before the council to “inquire if we should pursue a speed study” for the Jordan hill.

Without council action, or a plan for trails along the hilly stretch of Highway 282, the city would wait to conduct a speed study.

A dead-end trail along Old Highway 169 is set to be connected next summer, offering perfect timing for a speed study near it, officials said.

Although the city has more work to do on the plans, its officials believe they can secure a $100,000 state grant for $700,000-plus of trails that will connect Jordan’s newer neighborhoods with Lagoon Park.

Results of the Old Highway 169 speed study, which focuses on the portion of the road that runs through the city, should be available by the end of the year.

ANOTHER STUDY Pointing out what he called high speeds near the Jordan Public Schools campus, Counci l memb er T hom Boncher asked for further study.

Another speed study?

“Yes, that’s what I said,” Boncher said.

He claimed the signs that restrict cars to a 20 mph limit when children are present are “ill defi ned.”

Malz said that the signs are meant to be more restrictive than sig ns stating specific school hours: “If you can see a child, you better be going that speed.”

Police should strictly enforce speed limits, specifically children leaving school, Bon-

DOGS continued from page 1

He said that as he was returning to the mail truck, he blocked the dog with his forearm, not his hand – he plays classical piano and knew the dog could easily wreck that ability, he said. His arm received puncture wounds that bled and later swelled, he said.

The dog’s owner did not respond to a voicemail or email from the Jordan Independent requesting comment.

It turns out that Jordan mail carriers are having a rough year when it comes to dealing with dog attacks.

Three of the 10 mail carriers out of the Jordan post office have been bitten since last October in three separate incidents, Jordan Postmaster Karen Keller said.

“And this doesn’t even count the near misses, the times that the canines have chased the carriers,” Keller said.

Keller said the increase in bites lately has been a

Three speed studies are proposed – one is likely to happen, the others not yet – with hopes of lowering speed limits in the city of Jordan.

Likely to occur: Old

Highway 169 (aka County Road 66) study, from Highway 21 to west of Prospect Pointe Road, all of the road that is within city boundaries. This study would most directly affect those who live in south Jordan, including the Jordan Townhomes, Bridle Creek and River Ridge neighborhoods, as well as the Jordan Public Schools.

Not yet: Highway 282 study, east of East Street to east of Minnesota Valley Electric Drive (County Road 10). This study would most directly affect those who live along the Jordan hill, including the Bluffs of Jordan and Mill Street neighborhoods, as well as Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC).

Additional suggestion: Sunset and Hillside drives study, near Jordan Public Schools. Pointing out Jordan High School students as “some of the worst offenders,” Jordan City Councilmember Thom Boncher asked for crackdown in the school zone.

cher said. “They’re some of the worst offenders.”

But Malz said that he patrols the area on a daily basis, in an unmarked car, and he has seen no outrageous speeding.

Generally, people know about the school speed zone, Malz said. During high-traffic times, it only takes one car slowing down to 20 mph to slow down all of the cars in line, he added.

“Maybe you need to put a car out there after football games – one car going 20 mph – to slow down everybody else,” Boncher said.

benef it t he neighborhoods created by the developers, Loose wrote. “Staff believes it is appropriate to use these developer funds to construct the trail along (Old Highway 169). Similar to (Old Highway 169) upgrades, staff believes a t r a i l fo r n o n m o t o r i z e d

Mayor Pete Ewals said it’s “full steam ahead.”

concern. Before late last fall, there had been no bites on record in the last five years.

The first carrier was bitten in October; the second in December. The first two bites were not as severe and weren’t reported to police, Keller said.

According to the Jordan Police Department, when an unprovoked dog bites someone, it must be quarantined for 14 days.

If the dog is current on its vaccinations, it can be kept at home.

In this case, the dog will be quarantined at home. It is also required to have a microchip surgically implanted and be labeled as a potentially dangerous dog.

Keller said mail carriers are trained on what to do about dogs. They carry pepper spray.

They’re told to keep a satchel or bin with them so they have something to put between themselves and an aggressive dog. They are not supposed to enter a property that keeps an unrestrained dog.

“We try to report loose dogs because kids could potentially get bit,” Keller said.

Keller said many dog owners are unaware that their dogs could bite someone.

“A lot of dog owners are kind of in denial that their dog has the propensity to do that,” Keller said.

For his part, Catina said he feels like he lost something more than blood. He’s owned dozens of dogs, and has never been bitten by them, whether big or small. Catina was sad to discover that, wait a minute, dogs do bite.

“I guess I’m no longer the dog whisperer,” Catina said.

Catina said that after the bite, he and the owner talked.

Catina told him that he’d been through worse, he said.

So he continued his route.

But by the time he got back to the post office, he couldn’t hide the wound.

Catina said he reported it, hoping to prevent someone else from being bitten. He said he was thankful that he had a truck into which he could escape.

After it all, he continued on with work.

“I just kept delivering mail,” Catina said.

When do long-term substitute jobs get posted?

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

When a teacher goes on a leave of absence, when should the school district post the job opening for a long-term substitute teacher?

The issue got some back and forth at the Jordan School Board meeting on Monday, after a line of questioning by Board Member Joe Benko.

Turns out the district doesn’t have a procedure on when longterm substitute positions are posted for all applicants.

“How can we open it up to one without opening it up to all who have that ability?” Benko said.

School administrators said they’ve done the process both ways – by posting positions and by hiring through other means.

“We don’t advertise. I don’t know if we ever have, for subs,” Superintendent Kirk Nelson said.

Some said they had advertised before.

“I think I’ve done it both ways,” Jordan Middle School Principal Lance Chambers said.

Benko made a motion to post a substitute position, after a long-term substitute had already been hired to teach the rest of the year. That motion eventually failed.

952-345-6572 JORDAN

Board Member Bob Vollbrecht said he did not favor the idea of re-posting the job, partly because of the chance that another person could be hired, leaving two people being paid.

“Fiscally irresponsible, in my opinion,” he said of the idea.

Although board members said they have a good person fi lling the spot, the discussion about forming a procedure for when to post such jobs could come up in a future meeting.

“I think we need to have a discussion as to what the policy should be,” Board Member Sandy Burke said.

District takes on more special education programs

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

In recent years, school districts that have relied on special education cooperatives have been making moves to take back some special education programs.

A key idea: Education dollars follow the student. Also, it’s generally easier for students to go to special education classes in thei r home districts.

At the Jordan School Board meeting on Monday, board members voted to take back and reshuffle the structure of two programs – one dealing with emotionally-behaviorally disturbed (EBD) students, and an early childhood special education program.

“Many high schools have taken these programs back,” Scott Hare, director of special

services, said of the EBD program.

In the fi rst year, the move is cost neutral. Long term?

“The cost savings comes in the future,” Hare said.

Specifically, according to Hare, the social worker will focus on social, emotional and behavioral support for all special education students, but specifically those students who are emotionally or behaviorally disabled. The district will hire a special education teacher to focus on autism at the high school, where numbers continue to increase at the secondary level.

For early childhood special education, the district will be hiring a special education teacher to replace the services purchased through Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative, according to Hare, who noted that all the positions hired are replacing

positions purchased through MRVSEC. “We’re large enough to do that rather than going to MRVSEC to purchase those services,” Hare said.

The early childhood special education program includes a cost increase of about $4,000.

In the past, the district has brought back other programs, including speech lang uage pathology program, which was brought back this year at a cost savings, Hare said.

In the EBD program, about eight students are in the program, which is run by MRVSEC in Jordan High School.

Four are students from Jordan.

Next year, the program will simply stay put under new management.

“If other students come in, we are going to make some money to offset our costs,” Board Member Joe Benko said.

New entrance to elementary school?

When a new senior living facility opens this year, work will be done to surrounding roads.

Jordan Public Schools could be looking at coordinating with the city of Jordan on getting another parking lot entrance built at Jordan Elementary School.

“We’re going to have to make a decision on that fairly quickly,” Board Chairwoman Deb Pauly said.

Pauly said the city is looking at upgrading Aberdeen Avenue.

If it does, the school district should be ready.

“It would be a perfect time for us to consider another entrance to Jordan Elementary School,” Pauly said.

trainer for spring sports.

At the Jordan School Board meeting on Feb. 13, Athletic Director Jef f Vizenor said that a revised contract for the training services will cost an extra $990, but as part of the agreement, the district gets concussion testing.

The district also must pay

a $750 startup cost for the ImPact concussion testing. Then, Shakopee-based St. Francis Regional Medical Center, which provides the athletic training services, will reimburse the district for the $750 and have a trainer do the concussion baseline testing.

“So it will be a total cost to us of zero,” for the concussion testing, Vizenor said.

The contract covers 500 baseline tests and 50 tests for athletes who have suffered from concussion symptoms.

Longer industrial tech classes?

Students who take industrial technology classes walk from Jordan High School to the shop in Jordan Middle School.

Instead of using school time for a walk break, Jordan High School is considering offering industrial tech classes in a twohour block so students don’t lose time on the walk, according to a report from Principal Barb McNulty.

While students expressed interest in the idea in a survey, school staff members are investigating the idea to make sure it will work for students, according to McNulty.

ourschools Senior slide may mean a fall from students’ long-term goals Following is a sample workplace task for a machine operator apprentice at the Eastman Chemical Co.: Mix a solution (No. 1) of 5g Peters fertilizer and 50g distilled water.

Determine the percent concentration-by-weight of this solution; The basic formula is weight of the solute divided by the combined weight of the solute and solvent equals percent concentration-byweight; Calculate the density of this solution (No. 1).

Divide the weight by the volume to determine the density in gm/ml.

Next the apprentice must make a solution (No. 2) using 50g of Peters and 50g of distilled water.

Determine the percent concentration-by-weight.

Ask the apprentice: Why is the concentration-by-weight of solution No. 2 not double the concentration-by-weight of solution No. 1 since the solute is doubled?

If students and parents consider this as an entry level problem for an employee, they might begin to consider carefully how they begin preparing academically for the future.

CONSIDER RIGOR Last spring, I listened to a former student talk about the difficulty he has finding adequate employees for his business. The starting salary was in six figures. When asked what he recommended for high school students, he enthusiastically said four years of the basics (math, science, English and social studies), as well as other rigorous courses, or courses that introduce students to what they might face in their future careers.

High schools typically require four years of English and social studies, but students often quit taking math and science after three years. Students sometimes

Barb

MCNULTY believe they have paid their dues after their junior year and can find time to relax before the rigors of life after high school, whether that be technical school, a two- or four-year college, or one of the branches of the service.

Experiencing the senior slide when education is still free only puts them in danger of paying for remedial coursework or taking longer to get to their final destination.

Students who intend to join the service might check out what the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) assesses. Those who score higher have more advantages as they begin their military career, and taking rigorous courses in high school gives them a great advantage over those who choose the senior slide.

PARENTS SHOULD ATTEND Over the next few weeks, parents and students will have opportunities to learn about the academic offerings at the high school and register for classes for the 2012-2013 school year.

On Feb. 21, Robin Whiteside, the high school counselor, will visit with eighth-grade students to share requirements and what students can expect as they enter high school. Although most of the ninth-grade curriculum is prescribed, students will be able to see what is available as they move through high school.

This is an important year,

TIME CAPSULE The time capsule sat in a vault at Valley Bank, renamed Frandsen Bank & Trust, in Jordan.

Students got to see what was in the time capsule early this month.

Just listing some of the items can bring a person right back to the ’90s.

At least four teachers got to take part in both sending items to the box and watching them removed.

Mary Hanek was there 20 years ago. Before it was opened, she said she couldn’t wait to see what was inside.

Hanek said she vaguely remembers participating in the project 20 years ago.

“But I don’t remember what we put in there,” Hanek said.

Getting some form of a new building, back then, was just a dream to the school.

The school moved to the new building in 2004.

“We had no idea that all this would be happening,” Hanek said.

The Rev. Father Timothy Yanta said when he first heard about the time capsule, he was told it was a chest.

Thoughts of gold bouillon sprung to mind.

“I’m thinking a treasure chest – gold or something,” Yanta said.

Instead, it was a humble cardboard box filled with stories from the past.

In some ways, the contents of the box show how much things have changed. For example, a 5-1/4-inch floppy computer disk was found in the time capsule, which stored less than 1 megabyte of memory.

In other ways, the items show that some things have not changed much.

Homer Simpson, whose likeness was found in the box, is still on TV, in his 23rd season.

There were newspapers with headlines about the war in Iraq. One read, “Allied troops advance into Kuwait, storm into Iraq.”

“It kind of seems like things haven’t changed in 20 years,” Yanta said.

because students will have to begin accumulating credits to graduate, but more importantly, because they will begin exploring potential career areas that might interest them in the future.

That evening, parents are invited to the high school auditorium to hear the same information. Parents are encouraged to attend not only to hear about the ninthgrade offerings but also to learn more about what their students will encounter when they enter high school.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21.

Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will receive information about registration the last week of February during the school day. Parents are encouraged to attend one of two sessions during conferences on Feb. 27 in the high school auditorium.

One session will occur at 5 p.m. and the other at 6:15 p.m.

Parents will learn about the courses and how to determine what their students need to not only graduate but also to be successful beyond high school.

To prepare for that meeting, parents of sophomores can review the results of their students’ Plan test so they can consider the career interest areas. This will help when determining elective courses, as well as the correct core area courses. Parents of freshmen and juniors can look at the test history tab on the district’s School View site to determine where additional coursework is necessary to improve skills.

PREPARE FOR THE BEST People often refer to the high school years as the best years of your life. However, I would rather that we refer to high school as the time we prepare students so they can have the best years of their lives – after they graduate.

Barb McNulty is the principal of Jordan High School. She can be reached at mcnulbar@jordan.k12.mn.us.

Savor the past

continued from page 1

A St. John the Baptist Catholic School time capsule shared a wealth of memories. Here’s a selection of items pulled from the box: 5-1/4-inch floppy

computer disk; newspapers with

headlines including “Allied troops advance into Kuwait, storm into Iraq,” “Iraq agrees to all UN terms,” and “Kirrr-bee does it!”

Big Bird; a Homer Hanky; student artwork; class photos; a cassette tape with words of wisdom from St. John’s school; a VCR tape; Homer Simpson; a sheet with words from the ‘90s like duh, awesome, rad, radical, excellent, dude, bodacious, cowabunga and psych; a Book It! button; Sports Illustrated with a

cover of the winning Twins; Time magazine; a stuffed animal; a Twins button; a Where’s Waldo? sticker; an American Flag; a lunch menu; a third-grade phone book; old photos; a ’91 penny; student reports; and writing about the

Halloween snowstorm of ’91.

When Principal Bonita Jungels read names from a third-grade phone book, it became clear that not everyone in the book is still living – Nathan Herman’s name was mentioned.

In 2003, Herman, who graduated from Jordan High School, died along with another 2001 high school graduate, Noah Radtke, in a one-vehicle traffic accident on Highway 169.

Looking back at all the Minnesota Twins baseball headlines, one couldn’t help but think of the passing of one of the Twins greats, Kirby Puckett, when hearing headlines like, “Kirrr-bee does it!” or seeing a magazine cover of the Twins winning the World Series.

In some ways, news like this seemed to define a decade.

There was mention of the great Halloween snowstorm of ’91 that dropped more than 28 inches of snow on the Twin Cities area – certainly a contrast from the winter of 2012.

A button from the Book It! program was in the time capsule. Those who were in school in the ’90s might have fond memories of that program, which rewarded athome reading with stars and Pizza Hut gift certificates.

Kids reveled in getting their personal pan pizzas after spending time reading.

Jungels said the school is hoping to make another time capsule.

“What we would like to do is put new things in here and bring it back to the bank and store it for 20 years,” Jungels said.

Who knows what might change in 20 years. If the past is any indication, technology will not look the same.

Just ask St. John’s alumna Amanda Wermerskirchen.

In the time capsule, there were student essays about what life would be like in 20 years. Wermerskirchen, a third-grade teacher at Jordan Elementary School, wrote that everyone will have a computer and use it in their everyday work, and that cars will run on something other than gasoline.

She also clearly proved at least one of her predictions wrong.

“The schools will be taught by computers or robots,” Wermerskirchen wrote.

PANTHERS WRESTLING

Capping off regular season in style Scott West concludes perfect regular season by trouncing Hastings

Class 2A, Section 2 wrestling tournament First round, 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

In its storied 22-year history, Scott West has never had back-toback undefeated regular seasons.

Until now.

The Panthers made program history this past weekend when they steamrolled two ranked opponents to cap off a second straight perfect regular season.

Scott West defeated Class 2A’s No. 12-ranked New Prague 61-3 on Thursday night and then topped Class 3A’s No. 2-ranked team Hastings 47-15.

“It’s a great thing to have completed the regular season unbeaten,” co-head coach Darren Ripley said. “However, I have been around here at Scott West long enough to know that our success is ultimately defi ned by whether we make it to state and how we do once we are there, so we still have a lot wrestling to do.”

Those two wins give the Panthers a perfect 20-0 record for the 2011-2012 season.

That comes a season after they fi nished the 2010-2011 season 19-0 and as Class 2A runner-ups.

After easily dispatching section rival New Prague on Thursday night, the Panthers welcomed Hastings to Jordan for highly anticipated matchup of second-ranked teams – Hastings in Class 3A and Scott West in Class 2A. It would the second time this season that the Panthers have wrestled the No. 2-ranked team in Class 3A. On Dec. 22, Scott West defeated St. Michael-Albertville 33-25 in Belle Plaine.

With the undefeated season in sight, the Panthers dominated the

David Flynn (top) starts the night out right for the Panthers, as he earns a pin fall against Hasting’s Spencer Kopp in the second period.

Raiders right from the start, winning the first seven matches to build up a 31-0 lead.

The match started with three straight pins from Scott West, starting with David Flynn at 106 pounds.

Zach Siegle made it 12-0 at 113 pounds in his return from an injury.

At 120 pounds, the Panthers Luke Betchwars, ranked fifth, pinned Luke Rowh in the second period.

Rowh is rated third in the state.

“It was good to see our lightweights come out and take command of the meet,” Ripley said. “It’s also good to have Zach back in the lineup.”

After those three pins, Scott West followed up with four more wins.

Luke Zilverberg earned a 7-5 win against Isaac Bauer at 126 pounds.

Phillip Dvorak followed with a 6-0 win against Austin Eichmann at 132 pounds for a 24-0 lead.

At 138 pounds, Scott West’s Andrew Fogarty, ranked fi fth in the

state, earned a 3-1 win over fourthranked Eric Bauer 3-1 for a 27-0 Scott West lead.

The score was tied 1-1 late in the third period when Fogarty earned a late takedown to win 3-1. Last year, Bauer earned a technical fall against Fogarty.

“Big win for Andrew,” Ripley said. “He has really improved, and he is fighting for every position, point and match – and that is really important at this time of year.”

After Gabe Fogarty earned a major decision at 145 pounds, the score was 31-0 and the rout was on.

Hastings won at 152 and 16 0 pounds, only to see the Panthers win three of the fi nal five matches, two by fall.

Earning pins were Nick Dvorak and Jake DeWeese at 170 and 182 pounds, respectively.

The fi nal Panthers win came at 220 pounds, when No. 1-rated Michael Kroells defeated Hastings No. 4 Isaac Eichmann 9-1.

THE NEXT STEP With that convincing win behind them, Scott West turns their attention to the section meet and the state tournament, if they can qualify.

The Panthers are the No. 1 seed in the Class 2A, Section 2 tournament and will host either Glencoe-Silver Lake or Delano at 7:30 p.m. today (Thursday) at Belle Plaine High School.

Should they win, they will move on to the fi nal four, beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday at St. Peter High School.

Hutchinson with a 24-4 record got the No. 2 seed, followed by New Prague at No. 3 and WatertownMayer Lutheran at No. 4.

If the Panthers win the section, they would qualify for the state meet beginning March 1 at the Xcel Energy Center.

After the team section tournament, Scott West will participate in the individual section tournament Feb. 24-25 at Waconia High School.

JUNIOR VARSITY The Scott West junior-varsity team concluded its season on Saturday by winning the Grizzly Country JV tournament in Janesville, Minn.

They earned 207 points to win the tournament over Jackson County Central’s 184 points.

Scott West crowned five champions – Isai Morales, Oscar Negrete, Derek Dahlke, Ray Carter and Jake Schultz.

Tyler Ackmann fi nished second, Alex Garcia third and Daniel Kochlin fourth.

HUBMEN BASKETBALL

Finding their rhythm Boys team defeats Sibley East by 11

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

Trulo Adams takes a jumper for the Hubmen.

The Jordan boys basketball team is on an upswing.

They have won three of their last four games including their 64-53 win on Tuesday at Sibley East.

The win improved the Hubmen’s record to 10-11 on the season and 5-7 in the Minnesota River Conference. They are in fifth place in the conference standings.

“This was a very nice performance by our team,” head coach Matt Urbanek said. “We played strong defense all night against a team that has some talented scorers.”

The game didn’t start out well for the Hubmen as they turned the ball over to Sibley East early on but they were able to stop turning the ball over and get into a rhythm offensively.

Once they started hanging onto the ball, Jordan started to score.

They scored 33 points in the fi rst half and went into the locker room with a nine-point lead.

The offense continued to roll in the second half as they scored 31 points and never let Sibley East make a strong run at them.

“We started the game by turning it over too much, but we played better with the ball as the game went on,” Urbanek said.

“Every time Sibley East made a run, we kept our composure and answered it. We had contributions from a lot of players. It was nice to see the balanced scoring tonight.”

The Hubmen had four players score in double figures with Nate Beckman and Nick Heitkamp lead the way with 12 points each. Jake Anderson added 11 and Micah Hennen scored 10. Kevin Way added nine.

Donnie Tyler and the Hubmen thrive on balanced scoring and strong defense.

TOUGH LOSS A season of up and downs continued for the Jordan boys basketball team last Thursday night.

The Hubmen battled Mayer Lutheran hard all night but couldn’t pull off the upset of the second-place team in the Minnesota River Conference.

The Crusaders scored 34 second-half points to overcome a halftime deficit to the Hubmen and won 52-47.

“This was a disappointing game for us,” Urbanek said. “We played hard, but not necessarily well. We turned it over too much and missed too many shots. A lot of that has to do with Mayer Lutheran. They are a very strong and physical team, and they play great defense.”

Jordan had momentum going into the game as the Hub-

men had won two games in a row and were playing some of their best ball of the season.

T hat conti nued i nto t he fi rst half against Mayer Lutheran, as Jordan’s defense did a number on the Crusader’s offense. Jordan limited Mayer Lutheran to 18 firsthalf points.

The Hubmen’s offense was enough to give them a 19-18 lead at halftime.

Things turned in the second half for the Hubmen, as Mayer Lutheran’s offense picked up and scored 34 points to get the win.

Jordan committed 17 turnovers in the game, which allowed the Crusaders to score in transition and get the win.

Beckman led the way with 14 points, followed by 11 points for Hennen.

Girls hoops team can clinch conference title with one win

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

One win away.

That’s what the Jordan girls basketball is from winning the Minnesota River Conference championship.

They moved that close to the title after surviving a tight game with Belle Plaine last Friday night.

The Jaguars improved to 12-1 in conference play when they defeated the Tigers 49-45 in Belle Plaine.

With one more conference game scheduled, Jordan holds a one-game lead over Watertown-Mayer, who sits at 11-2.

If Jordan can beat TriCity United today (Thursday), the Jaguars would clinch their fi rst conference title since 2009.

I f they lose and Water town-Mayer defeats Norwood-Young America, Jordan would share a conference title with Watertown.

In the win against Belle Plaine, Jordan started quickly and then was able to hold off the Tigers’ second-half rally to get the win. “We had control of that game throughout,� head coach Greg Dietel said.

T he Jag ua rs played great defense in the fi rst half, as they held Belle Plaine to just 15 points in the games first 18 minutes.

Jordan scored 24 points to go into halftime with a nine-point lead.

In the second half, Belle Plaine was able to break Jordan’s defense and get back into the game.

In the final minute, Jordan got two free throws from Alex Hancock and Maddy Dean to keep the Tigers at bay. “In the last minute we played smart and made our free throws,� Dietel said.

What really helped the Tigers get back into the game was their rebound-

“I thought offensively we put together one of our best games.�

Permission not to send nasty note? OK Jordan Finance Director Tom Nikunen asked for permission to send a new kind of delinquent water bill notice – “something non-offensive,” he said last Monday.

By 6-0 vote, the Jordan City Council approved a “friendly reminder” on city water bills sent to all households – not just the 370 or so bills sent to those with tardy payments, Nikunen said. Councilmember Sally Schultz was absent from the meeting. A note on March water bills will say that the assessment process is beginning.

Nikunen’s request was not on the agenda, but the council voted on it anyway.

City exceeds its cost share on new bridge The city of Jordan has already spent more than its share of the cost of the new bridge to the Mini-Met ballpark.

Jordan is supposed to spend $112,000 and the state $918,000, according to the latest estimate provided by City Engineer Tim Loose. The state’s portion will be split between Municipal State Aid (MSA), which the city council receives lump sum and

divvies out to specific projects, and bridge bonds, which are approved by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and funded by the state legislature.

Excess portions of the project have been covered by park dedication funds, Loose said.

“We’re going to pay that back.”

As the state money comes in – “when it all shakes out,” Loose said – the city will be credited all of the money it spent.

“It’d be nice to pay the park and rec back,” Mayor Pete Ewals confi rmed last Monday.

Mill Pond won’t open for hockey So much for pond hockey this year.

“The pond will not be skated on this year,” Jordan Public Works Director Dave Bendzick said.

With 7 inches of ice on the Mill Pond, the dangers of recreational activities on the pond are too great to risk.

Bendzick said last Monday that he tested the ice thickness with a pick – “three swats and I was through,” he said.

T hen, he i m mediately lef t the ice.

Public Works will try to keep a fully flooded hockey rink, on the other hand.

It’s been a difficult job so far,

with warm yet volatile weather this winter.

“I did notice they were hitting it hard when they could,” Mayor Pete Ewals said of the hockey players.

EDA hasn’t moved on downtown plan The Jordan Economic Development Authority (EDA) hasn’t moved on a proposal for a downtown revitalization plan yet, and Mayor Pete Ewals wondered if the organization isn’t interested.

During a meeting earlier this month, Ewals asked why the commission has taken no action to help downtown.

Jordan City Councilmember Tanya Velishek, council liaison to the EDA, said that the EDA has its hands while developing priorities.

On the radar are comprehensive and master planning, a business incubator, a hotel, and various studies.

EDA members have said that they feel that downtown Jordan is important, but other economic development activities rank higher than a downtown master plan.

So the EDA will be formulating a “total plan?” Ewals asked.

The answer is yes, Velishek said.

‘Quite the catch’ County purchases foreclosed Blakeley Township property for future county park with lodge

BY SHANNON FIECKE sfiecke@swpub.com

B y a ny o n e ’s t o k e n , a county agency’s fasttracked purchase of a gorgeous 84-acre homestead in the bluffs of Blakeley Township was a steal of a deal.

The nearly 4,000-squarefoot residence has the makings of a country retreat and overlooks the Minnesota River valley. Located in the heart of an envisioned 2,400-acre Blakeley Bluffs Park Reser ve, it wou ld make an ideal lodge for park visitors.

Initially offered for $1.5 million in 2009, the property came available again in November due to foreclosure.

With 13 days to make a bid, Scott County Parks inspected the residence and asked the Scott County Community Development Agency to purchase and hold the property until an acquisitions grant could become available through the Metropolitan Council.

The Scott County CDA, which closed Dec. 12 on the property, was one of seven bidders, barely winning the sale with a $550,000 bid and 20 percent down. The second-place bidder offered the same amount, but with only 10 percent down.

“It was really quite the catch,” said Bill Jaffa, executive director of the CDA. The question is whether rural neighbors are ready for public use of the land decades sooner than anyone expected.

Scot t C ou nt y, which only purchases parkland from willing sellers, just completed an acquisition master plan laying out the proposed boundaries for a future park reserve in a township in the southwestern corner of the county. It is the last remaining park reserve envisioned in the county.

Although regional funding is available for purchasing land as it becomes available in the area, the c a s h - s t r a p p e d c o u nt y wasn’t planning to develop a park in the Blakeley area for decades to come.

Instead, it had envisioned accumulating land until it had the means to build trails or other amenities.

However, with the residence’s lodge-like feel, the county could get voluntary caretakers and rent the property out for weddings, retreats and other events until a park opens someday. This public use could also help justify the use of Legacy constitutional amendment dollars for the purchase of the property.

If the county board is able to obtain the grant and approves purchasing the

Blakeley Bluffs’ bio Here’s a minibiography of the future Blakeley Bluffs county park: I Address: 17475 W 250th St., rural Belle Plaine I Area: 84 acres on top of the Minnesota River bluffs with a southwest view overlooking the river valley I House: 3,955-square-foot lodge-style residence accompanied by two 40- by 80-foot pole sheds I Original list price:

$1.5 million I County’s bid: $550,000

property from the CDA, the “Lodge” could open as soon as this summer.

But parks staff, which discussed options with the county parks commission and last week met with township residents, is rethinking interim options for the site due to opposition from township leaders about large public use of the site.

“We had some concern after the meeting about proposed uses a nd t he amount of traffic it would generate,” Blakeley Town Board Chairman Brian Schmidt said. “We’re looking to have more discussions with them on that.”

Blakeley residents had signed onto the acquisition master plan with the idea that no development would occur for 30 to 50 years, Schmidt explained.

S c ot t C ou nt y P a rk s Manager Mark Themig said other options might include leasing the property to a private party, if a willing operator could be found, or renting it out for smaller events or to vacationing families.

Two large outbuildings – one with a cement floor – would also be a good location for storing county maintenance vehicles in that part of the county, Scott County Board Chairman Tom Wolf noted. More than 20 acres of agricultural land could be leased to a local farmer.

The CDA could also turn around and sell the property if the county board decides it doesn’t want to own a lodge or the property.

I f t he prop er t y go e s back on the market, “somebody wi l l have a wonderful home,” Themig said. “ T he dow nside is we may never be able to

purchase it at that price in the future.”

A larger question to be answered is how aggressive the county ought to be with land acquisition and with what the township is comfortable.

The county had envisioned making purchases during the next 50 years, but eight parties are interested in immediately selling their land. At the same time, regional funding is available for acquisitions that may not be around in the future.

It’s an amazing par t of the county and an incredible natural resource, Themig said. “The real question is, is it just happening too quickly?”

ENVISIONED PARK The county couldn’t apply for a grant outright for this particular property, because the Metropolitan Council hasn’t finished approving the acquisition master plan. Once that occurs, the county could use a grant to purchase the land from the CDA. T he origi na l ow ners of the site, Dave and Jane Mayer, approached t he county a few years ago to see if it was interested in their property. At the time, the county passed because it hadn’t even begun to formalize exactly where the park reserve would be.

Because of this previous conversation, though, Themig was aware the property contained 84 acres, not just the 54 acres mentioned by the listing agent. When the title work was fi nished, sure enough it showed 84 acres.

The intent for the future Blakeley Bluffs Regional Park Reserve is to acquire river bluffs, bluff top, and ravines along the Minnesota River between Belle Plaine and Henderson for nature-based recreation, habitat connections and preservation of significant native plant communities.

From an initial 6,000acre search area, a committee identified 2,400 acres to preserve. The future park reserve would complement land already held by the Minnesota Depar tment of Natural Resources and Ney Center, as well as wetlands being purchased for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. With the hamlet of Blakeley on the north side of the park reserve, the scenic area is envisioned as a little Lanesboro that could attract tourists.

The cost to fully develop the parks and two trails, as well as acquire enough land for the entire Blakeley Bluffs Reserve, is estimated to be $52.3 million.

Beyond this are the operational costs.

SCOUTING

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Boys earn awards Jordan Cub Scouts held its annual Blue and Gold Awards ceremony on Saturday, Feb. 11. The seven boys of the Webolos Dragon Patrol earned their Arrow of Light Award, which is the highest award in Cub Scouts and goes to scouts who’ve been active participants in their den and are ready to join a Boy Scout troop.

Several boys also crossed over from Cubs Scouts and joined Jordan’s Boy Scout Troop 332. Those who were awarded their Arrow of Light awards were (from left): front row, Michael Adkins, Michael Gregoria and Jack Hulet; middle row, Dawson Cederstrom, Matthew Adkins, Jacob Freundschuh and Mitch Steinhoff; and back row, leaders Wayne Adkins and Amy Freundschuh.

Many club members attended the 34th Annual Mid-Winter District 5M-2 Convention in Mankato Feb. 10-12. The theme for this year’s convention was “We are Family.”

Following the necrology service on Friday night, Lions from the entire district gathered for an evening of visiting and dancing to the music of City Mouse.

To be more involved in the convention theme of “We are Family,” Lions dressed up as their favorite famous families.

Members from the Jordaness formed a “bowling family” and a “Griswold/ Wally World family.”

The finalists in this fun contest were Mortisha and Gomez Addams, Archie and Edith Bunker, and Sheriff Andy Taylor and Aunt Bea. Saturday was filled with seminars on diabetes, the Lions Hearing Foundation and membership and retention, a luncheon and a business meeting. The attendees convened Saturday evening for a banquet with featured speaker Lions International Director Dr. Gary Anderson.

The training center for Can Do Canines is in New Hope. These dogs are trained and used by the hearing impaired, mobility challenged, diabetics, people who have seizures and autistic children and adults. Can
