INDEPENDENT JORDAN HOLIDAY TOUR OF HOMES

Sharing holiday spirit You can tour 8 open houses this weekend

Originally, MnDOT officials didn’t reveal potential cost sharing

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

O

pening up one’s home to family members during the holidays can sometimes bring to mind words like stress, anxiety, or eggnog.

How about inviting everyone from town and more?

Luckily for Jordan High School seniors, the promise of holiday cheer and raising money for a good cause has trumped the stress of holiday hosting for six Jordan area households that will open up their homes for this year’s edition of the Holiday Tour of Homes. In addition, a local business will also be part of the tour, as well as the fire hall.

The annual event runs from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 and raises money for the Jordan High School all-night graduation party.

Advanced tickets cost $10 and can be purchased at these locations during their open hours: the Vinery, Iris Valley General Store, Pekarna Meat Market, Studio J Salon & Spa, and Jordan High School. The night of the tour, tickets cost $12 and can be purchased at 3:30 p.m. where the tour starts, at the Jordan Fire Hall, 431 N. Varner St. Entertainment will also be offered at the fire station, including music from Jordan High School choirs.

CITY BUDGET

Finance director: All budget matters occur ‘above board’

FLIP THE SWITCH AND ‘TIS THE SEASON

When Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) officials first approached the Jordan Public Works director about rehabilitating Highway 21 in downtown Jordan, they failed to mention any city share of the cost. “ Now t h at ’s ch a n g e d ,” D ave Bendzick said last week.

MnDOT’s convenient omission became clear last Monday, when project manager Diane Langenbach spoke to the Jordan City Council, although she said she too had just found out about cost-sharing possibilities and subsequently presented the information to the council. She said that any parking pavement, special drainage or aesthetic enhancements requested by the city would require city spending.

Even without city money, Highway 21 (aka Broadway Street), would see important upgrades next summer, Langenbach said. “It is a 2012 Better Roads project. … Highway 21 is in need of some improvements.”

The state is putting about $1 million toward mill and overlay work, as well as drainage and American Disabilities Act (ADA) pedestrian improvements.

Superintendent Kirk Nelson’s contract has been extended, after a lengthy meeting that was closed to the public, in which Jordan School Board members gave Nelson his evaluation.

The vote to extend his contract for one year passed 5-2. Board members Joe Benko and Bob Vollbrecht voted against extending the contract. Board members Dan Buresh, Sandy Burke, Scott Erickson, Deb Pauly, Tammy Will voted to extend the contract.

The evaluation and extension process has taken a relatively lengthy time period – from August until the meeting on Monday, Nov. 28.

Vollbrecht said Nelson will have a list of goals presented to him before the next board meeting, which is on Dec. 12.

WE WANT YOUR …

SEAL OUT DECAY

Invites you to our

Christmas

The school year is in full swing and I have the joy of seeing the young children and teens of the community. The topic of sealing the first and second set of permanent molars is often considered for children ages 6-16. The first set of permanent molars erupt in the mouth around age 6, therefore nicknamed the “six-year molars.”

This is about the same time that children get their first “wiggly” lower front incisor and first visit from the tooth fairy. The second set of permanent molars erupt around the age 12 and are nicknamed the “twelve year molars.” The 3rd set of molars are the “wisdom teeth” and they arrive in the late teens or early twenties if they even fully develop at all. Dental sealants are a bonded resin that is flowed into the deep grooves of the 1st molar and sometimes 2nd molar teeth to prevent decay from entering.

It is a less invasive procedure than a filling, usually not requiring anesthetic, and is considered a preventative service. A child with good oral hygiene, balanced diet, and adequate fluoride does not always require sealants.

However, if we observe plaque and deep stain in the grooves of the permanent molars, I will often recommend placing sealants on at least the 1st set of permanent molars by age 7 or 8 to prevent the proliferation of decay. This is determined on a case-by-case basis and can be a great adjunct to other preventative measures that your family considers.

Since June, city staff responds to four citizen request forms

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

Since June, when the Jordan City Council adopted a customer service process and citizen request form, city staff has tallied four requests that warranted filling out of the form.

Other requests that are “not involved or dramatic” and can be handled at the first point of contact are deemed to not warrant tracking, according to Jordan City Administrator Ed Shukle.

“These things were followed up on and taken care of,” Shukle said.

Mayor Pete Ewals, on the other hand, said last month that he has heard a lot more complaints than the record showed. Ewals said he hears constituent complaints about city staff not following through when a resident has a request of the city. He said he wants to be able to tell fellow residents that a complaint log shows that, say, 18 of 20 complaints have been resolved.

Frequently, complaints are immediately satisfied, Shukle said. Those are not logged.

But without a log of complaints, Ewals argued, “then you can’t prove that you’re completing them.”

If city staff wrote down every complaint, Shukle answered back, “we’d be logging all day. … You tell me, council, what you want.”

Ewals said that tallying the number and type of complaints wouldn’t take long and that it’s typical for cities to keep such a log.

“This is supposed to be a complaint log, not a question log,” Ewals said.

Councilmember Joe Thill said Ewals is trying to micromanage the city staff.

“I’m not at all for logging every little complaint,” Thill said. “Let it go, and let’s trust staff to run the business.”

Thill suggested using the citizen request form created last summer and keeping those statistics for the mayor.

Ewals said that if no log is kept, the customer service process and citizen request form might as well be dropped altogether.

“I think I’m reading that there’s no process,” Shukle said. “Let’s move on.”

The third annual Blankets Because We Care drive has launched.

Organizers of the Jordan event want to help “keep our brothers and sisters warm this winter,” they said. You can help by donating your new, used or handmade blankets to the program.

Jason and Jennifer Schmit and their children will be taking any blanket donations to Sharing and Caring Hands on Jan. 14. Any monetary donations will be used to buy fleece to make additional blankets or will be donated to Sharing and Caring Hands.

Show how you care and please help out those in need this Christmas and New Year.

Please put your donations in the box labeled “blanket Donations” boxes at St. John the Baptist Catholic School, Hope Lutheran Church, or Radermacher’s Fresh Market in Jordan or Cub Foods in Shakopee. Also, donations may be dropped off at the Schmit house, 1109 Rose Court in Jordan.

The Schmits also said they would also be happy to pick any donations up, as well – just call (952) 492-5309.

Food shelf closes twice over holidays Jordan Area Food Shelf holiday schedule this year is follows: I open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays, Dec. 3, Dec. 10, and Dec. 17; I and closed Saturdays, Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

The food shelf is located in downtown Jordan. For more information, call Trudy Smith at (952) 564-4718.

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

The Give Where You Live campaign has been the agency’s primary fund-raising mechanism for the past several years. This year, the

CA P Agency is looking to gain momentum by taking the campaign online through GiveMN.org, which is a fundraising tool where donors are encouraged to “click, contribute, and change your world.”

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

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

CAP Agency seeks toy donations ASAP The Scott Carver Dakota Community Action Partnership (CAP) Agency is in full swing for the holiday season and looking for support from the surrounding communities for its annual holiday giving opportunities. Specifically, the agency is looking for sponsors who are interested in hosting toy drives on the Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s behalf.

Toy distribution sponsors can include businesses, organizations, churches and individuals. The sponsors are responsible for holding a toy drive on the Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s behalf and ensuring that all toys are delivered to the agency no later than Friday, Dec. 16.

Collected toys should not be gift wrapped and should have at least a $15 value.

This program differs from the agency’s Hope for the Holidays program in that a sponsor gathers toys to be distributed to the greater community instead of being paired directly with a family.

Specifically, these toys are distributed to children ages 14 or younger living in Scott and Carver counties.

“We have seen an increase in need for this and other holiday programs over the past few years,” said Linda Shelton, vice president of Scott County Community Services.

Those interested in sponsoring a family can e-mail info@capagency.org or call (952) 402-9856. Information about the toy distribution prog ram is also available on the Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency’s website at capagency.org.

PROPOSED LIBRARY

Council rewrites commercial district rules for new library Nearby, city envisions big boxes and large multi-use buildings It seems that most people in Jordan want a new library, but one technicality of the deal the city struck with Scott County proved controversial.

On Dec. 5, the Jordan City Council can make a move to enact an ordinance that will allow libraries in the highway commercial district. According to a Scott County Development Agency proposal, the new Scott County Library System facility would be situated within the CDA’s new senior housing facility and next to St. Francis Regional Medical Center’s new clinic.

“Is this consistent with the big picture?” Councilmember Thom Boncher said, mocking an earlier comment by Councilmember Tanya Velishek.

“The original proposition for that lot was a lot different than this.”

“It depends on whose big picture you’re looking at,” Councilmember Mike Shaw said.

The Jordan Planning Commission’s vision for the highway commercial district consists of taxpaying businesses, possibly big boxes or large multi-use buildings with rented-out suites.

Jordan Friends of the Library want a new library wherever it is, Shaw said.

The mayor said the CDA proposal was a “beautiful project” that residents want.

It also would utilize a difficult-to-develop piece of property in the Whispering Meadows district, near the intersection of Creek Lane and Seville Drive, Mayor Pete Ewals said.

“It’s hard to access no matter what you put in there. … I don’t know what else we’re going to do with the property.”

He added that he was hopeful for a pharmacy, although no one is on the hook for one yet.

“There’s some kinks that need to be worked out,” Velishek said, while Boncher quietly reacted, apparently in disgust. “It’s a benefit.”

Councilmember Joe Thill said that the council wants to see big buildings in the highway commercial district.

“I think it fits great,” Thill said.

Boncher has said his preference is for a downtown library.

The fi rst reading of the proposed ordinance passed 6-0, with Councilmember Jeremy Goebel absent from the Nov. 21 vote.

By the same vote tally, the council also passed the fi rst reading of an ordinance to al low housing as par t of a mi xed-u se development i n the highway commercial district. The measure, if enacted next week, would make way for the CDA’s senior housing proposal.

Along with its newly proposed library, Jordan might also add a park area.

Developer Frank Dunbar said the proposal for a space between the library, which is combined with senior housing, and a proposed medical clinic would be a park-like environment.

The park area, which Dunbar called large, has been drawn up as benches and flagpoles, but other ideas have been brought up.

Could there be any of the following:

I a fountain; I a patio; I a rotunda; I a courtyard; I grass or concrete; I a place to sit and read; I or a trellis (although this might attract birds and be cause for additional maintenance, Dunbar said)?

“We’ve tried gardens,” Dunbar said. “If the residents want a garden, we’ll find a place for a garden. … They’ll have a committee for everything, so we’ll work with them on that.”

Scott County’s budget is maxed, however, so those who have ideas for the park should also come forward with a potential funding source, Dunbar said. “We will work with whatever enhancements people want right here.”

And also by the same tally the council passed the first reading of an ordinance enacting the fi nal planned-unit development for the CDA project, as well as resolutions granting a conditional-use permit for a four-story building, and approving the preliminary and fi nal plats of the CDA Jordan Addition to the business district.

Ordinances become local law after a second reading, signatures from the mayor and city administrator, and official publication.

LOTS WITH AESTHETICS Two buildings are set to be built on two lots in the highway commercial district.

St. Francis’ 8,000-squarefoot medical clinic, with room for a pharmacy of about 2,000 or more square feet, and the CDA’s 71,000-square-foot senior housing facility, with room for 8,000 square feet of library space, will occupy a difficult site with limited access, Senior City Planner Joe Janish said.

Developer Frank Dunbar said that with St. Francis willing to build the attached pharmacy building, he believes “something very positive will happen.”

The library in Elko New Market is a similar project, “although this one is much better,” Dunbar added, smiling.

A model senior housing unit will be open on Dec. 1 in Elko New Market, for those who are curious about what will be available.

Dunbar has created what he said is an aesthetically pleasing building – with no backside to it, and a park-like environment between the two buildings. The park area can be enhanced

with benches, f lagpoles, and maybe a monument or fountain, depending on residents’ suggestions or interests, he said. “We will work with whatever enhancements people want right here.”

The senior housing facility’s peaked roof will rise to taller than 3-1/2 stories, prompting the need for an exemption from the commercial district’s height limit.

St. F ra ncis has ordered $150,000 of exterior enhancements to its building, as well, Dunbar said.

Native prairie grasses will grow along Seville Drive, Dunbar said. “It’s a wild grass.”

But Police Chief Bob Malz, the weed inspector, expressed skepticism, only to hear reassurances from Dunbar.

W hatever is built in the park area won’t be a haven for skateboarders, Dunbar said.

“That’s a bigger problem than the weeds.”

“If you have a problem, call me,” Malz said.

A full set of plans will be presented to the city prior to construction, Dunbar said.

“We think we’ve got our arms around the project.”

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY The CDA’s plans show only one access, off of Creek Lane, a lt hough t he orga ni zation would negotiate for a second access to the west if another business were incoming.

While the fi re and police departments would like a second access to the 51-unit housing complex, the slope to Seville Drive doesn’t allow for an access that makes sense, planners determined. Creating a “looping effect” would be no good for emergency vehicles, Janish said.

Instead, they’ve envisioned a shared road following the base of the bluff into adjacent properties.

But when Velishek asked about the likelihood of a shared road project, Janish said that he understands there to be no development proposal for the adjacent lot.

There are several potential locations for a shared road on the property, Dunbar said. He’s willing to be flexible.

Without a road, the property to the west remains open and marketable, Janish added.

Then, in the future, two property owners can build a road that is mutually beneficial.

Of course, the owner of the property has offered to sell the land, Dunbar said.

But the owner also understands the CDA’s concerns and was cooperative, Dunbar said.

Ten years out, the city might prefer to limit access off Creek Lane, possibly to a right-in, right-out access. But that is based on 2030 population projects and the future development of residential property near the Jordan Public Schools campus, growth that would increase traffic on Creek Lane.

SMALL BUSINESSES Earlier in the Nov. 21 meeting, with a 4-2 vote and then a split vote of the council, Kitty Burton’s proposal for nearby property was foiled.

The planning commission had recommended a one-time lot split for Burton.

“We have those lot sizes for a reason. … I’m wondering about the big picture,” Velishek said.

Thill said he wants larger lots, which enable larger buildings to come into the highway commercial district.

“If we start cutting up lots, we’re going to impede that,” Thill said.

Burton said that enticing a Walgreen’s doesn’t appear likely, for example, and two other nearby buildings have had difficulty renting out their excess space.

“In our lifetime, we’re not going to be Shakopee. For the moment, we are small business,” Burton said of Jordan.

“I think Jordan needs to be friendly to the small-business owner.”

“Small business can move downtown,” Velishek said.

EDITORIAL

Amid finger-pointing, budget fight begins and ends Monday In this corner, we have the fiscally overly conservative who wants only bare-bones city government and nothing more.

In this corner, we have those who want just a few amenities for their hard-earned tax dollar.

Next week, let the tax fight begin – and end.

On Monday, Dec. 5, the Jordan City Council will conduct its annual public hearing on the preliminary tax levy and proposed budget for 2012.

Why do people who love the budget, who don’t want any changes, and who just want to pat city staff on the back never show up to speak at these meetings?

Maybe they will this year. While the 2011 proposed $3.1 million budget includes a small increase in spending, the tax levy is not going to increase. Is that the best of both worlds?

Unfortunately, no.

While a zero increase in the tax levy doesn’t make for glitzy headlines in your local newspaper, budget disagreements are longstanding and have not been abandoned by detractors.

And the bottom line is, your tax bill might’ve actually gone up.

IMPACT ON YOU The average price for a home in Jordan in $241,800. If the city’s preliminary tax levy is fi nalized by the end of the year, this is the impact on you: + If your average-priced home stays steady in value, you would pay a tax increase of $229 in 2012. + Seventy-eight percent of the homeowners in Jordan will see an increase in the city portion of their taxes of $87 in 2012. + Thirty-two percent of homeowners in Jordan will see a tax decrease between $7 and $55.

It’s mainly the tax rate and the estimated property value that affects the tax bills that have arrived at your home or business.

The state has affected the tax rate in Jordan, and the county controls the estimated property values. The city council kept its spending, and thus the city portion of your tax bill, basically steady, when compared to this year.

But holding the line on the city’s tax rate, which would effectively lower tax bills from the preliminary estimates everyone received in the mail, would require $393,000 in budget cuts.

The council did not entertain such an idea for very long at all. Budget discussions moved forward without the additional cuts in mind.

TAX AND SPEND? A proposed 2012 general fund budget of $3.1 million – to be approved by mid-December at the latest, but probably on Monday – puts the city below 2007 spending levels but well above what it spent in 2006.

The city had budgeted $3.1 million for 2011, $3 million for 2010, $3.1 million for 2009, $3.7 million for 2008, $3.2 million for 2007, and $2.6 million for 2006.

I n recent yea rs, t he cit y has picked up a few good fi nancial habits, one of which has been deemphasizing the use of bonds to fi nance

If you go …

The Jordan City Council holds its public hearing on the 2012 proposed tax levy. The council proposes to finalize a preliminary tax levy that does not increase.

The proposed budget includes a small increase in spending.

construction projects. Fortunately, a lot of infrastructure was built or rebuilt before the last few lean years of growth. It wasn’t so much luck that created the infrastructure for Jordan’s present and future as it was good fi nancial planning and wisdom in foresight.

Last year, the city renewed savings for a couple of impending projects, and such a strategy will help the city in the long run.

Scott County came through with a low-interest loan for the proposed library. Hopefully, that agreement saves a dime or two.

Returning to a policy that limits the number of years the city maintains its vehicles is a good idea, too. Buying new vehicles saves on the maintenance cost and, more importantly, ensures reliability for our police cars and Public Works snowplows.

RESTORING CUTS While in 2009, the city council axed a few hundred grand from the 2010 budget, the cuts were never mentioned as permanent.

So that’s why the police chief and Public Works director are back at the council table, asking for equipment to come next year.

With the city’s annual debt payments – aka debt service – down, money is available for purchases without the coinciding apparent increase in taxes.

In the opinion of your local newspaper, the city council has been above board on most budget issues and certainly open to questions about it.

In general, employees have been understanding of the tough economic times and have taken no or small increases in pay during several recent years. In fact, hardworking city employees deserve more increases than they have demanded.

The council has been vigilant in lowering taxes, while keeping an eye out for city services that might be decreasing too much.

With every budget cut comes a decrease in city services. So when you give your input to one or more councilmembers, be careful what you ask for.

Don’t ask to have your cake and eat it, too.

Who decided Black Friday shopping should begin on Thanksgiving Day? I’m not much of a shopper … more of a buyer. I don’t spend a lot of time trying to find the best deal; usually when I decide I want something, I just go get it. However, I do have a great time wandering around shopping malls – “just looking, thank you.” This is true especially this time of year, and this time of year comes earlier and earlier, both on the calendar and on the clock.

I have found from experience, however, that Black Friday is not the day to do casual browsing.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year, is the day that puts stores “in the black” on their ledger sheets.

But more and more of the major stores are opening for business on Thanksgiving Day. By doing this they hope to get a jump on the season by luring the shoppers in with the promise of before-Christmas bargains (some quantities limited and the stores reserve the right to run out of the item before you get there).

Unhappy with this arrangement were the employees of the stores that are open for business on Thanksgiving. They would have liked to have had this time to spend with their families. Imagine.

Thomas Lee, a writer for the Star Tribune, recently wrote about this trend in retailing. He quoted executives from three major stores: Macy’s – “People want to shop through the night.” Walmart – “Our customers told us they would rather stay up late to shop than get up early so we’re going to hold special events on Thanksgiving …” Toys ‘R’ Us – “We know our customers like to

Lee goes on to say that he finds it difficult to believe that customers are actually demanding that Thanksgiving Day should be a day to commence commerce. But for a moment, let’s say that consumers really are insisting on more hours

But why stop there? To satisfy the growing demands of the customers, I propose that every store, every office (public and private), every school be open every hour of every day (no exceptions). We could solve our economic woes with such a new world order.

Everyone who wanted a job would have one as the buildings that never close would need to hire more workers. People would have more money to buy stuff and factories would be running at full production just to keep up with the demand. Of course, there would be no time for anything else.

We think nothing of going to a store on Sunday to buy just about anything, but not too many years ago that was quite unusual. In the movie “That Thing You Do,” set in 1964, Mr. Patterson, the owner of a small store, became quite annoyed while reading a competitor’s advertisement in the newspaper.

“Open Saturday 10 to 10. Open Sunday 12 to 6 … open on Sunday from 12 to 6! You know, I don’t believe I want to live in a country where you have to stay open on Sunday to do business. You shouldn’t have to work on Sunday to support your family.”

That’s right Mr. Patterson, and you shouldn’t have to work on Thanksgiving either.

I stayed away from the stores on Thanksgiving, and Friday as well.

To the editor: I want you to know what’s happened to me since the city staff installed the 1,800th Smartmeter in Jordan.

People say to me, “I can’t feel those microwaves! What do they feel like?”

We are all being overexposed to microwaves. Sometimes I think I’m the canary in the underground mine.

For me, they feel like if you take the palms of your hands and press hard on your temples. Sometimes they feel like a migraine headache at the base of the skull, and sometimes it’s leg cramps or mysterious backaches.

Later in the day I feel a loss of concentration, and sometimes it’s the sum total of all of these symptoms.

Seems the only way for me to avoid them is to leave town. It’s bad in the valley, but if I travel out of the valley on top of the hill like by Sponsel’s orchard I can start to feel better.

We have a cast iron tub in our second-floor bathroom.

I can crawl in it and get relief because the microwaves can’t penetrate the cast iron.

I have to sleep under a Faraday cage made out of bug screen and wood lathes. It’s positioned over a single bed, and it helps block the microwaves so I can sleep at night.

Is this really anyway for someone to live?

Remember, on July 5, five councilmen said it’s safe for our citizens. Their thinking that sacrificing this one person for the common good of saving a dollar is flawed.

Exposure can affect anyone.

CONTRACT

WORKING OUT FOR A CAUSE

continued from page 1

“I voted no just because I think we can do better. But I do think (Nelson) has the best interests of the district in mind,” Vollbrecht said. “ I hop e he c a n prove me wrong.”

Nelson’s contract, after the extension, runs from July 1, 2012, until June 30, 2013.

The closed-meeting discussion might have been a heated one, if past references to the evaluation process were any indication of the tone. On Nov. 28, board members took more than two hours on the evaluation, before voting on the contract extension in an open meeting.

The school board hired Nelson in 2008 and has extended his contract once prior to the Nov. 28 decision.

Jordan High School’s fitness club had a Zumba dance party, aka a Zumbathon, that benefited Jordan Family Outreach.

Nearly 40 people attended the Nov. 19 event, which featured three trainers, a relaxation session, massages and Zumba, which is a way to dance and work out at the same time.

The event raised about $1,250 – $1,000 from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. Here, Jordan High School senior Cody Pelowski moves to the music during a Zumba session.

New year, longer day for Jordan Elementary

BY DAVID SCHUELLER dschueller@swpub.com

Ever si nc e st a r ti n g t he school year four days late, the question has been open as to how Jordan Elementary School would actually make up 24 hours of lost instructional time.

This week, the issue seems to be nailed down.

The school will lengthen each school day by 15 minutes at the end of the day, starting Jan. 2, when school resumes after winter break.

The agreement is detailed in a memorandum of understanding between the local teacher’s union and the district.

In earlier discussions, the Jordan School Board was concerned that an action to change

the school schedule might incur contract repercussions.

The agreement notes that the length of teacher duty – 7:20 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. – will not change.

The district struggled in late summer with mold after the air conditioning system malfunctioned. School started on Monday, Sept. 12 instead of Sept. 6 like the rest of the district.

The cost resulting from the mold problems were between $ 375,000 and $400,000, which included mechanical work, buying and installing carpet, labor, and testing and contact services, according to Superintendent Kirk Nelson. To date, insurance has paid $13,700 for mechanical breakdown, and $15,000 because of the extreme humidity.

Jordan Elementary School has set up a Facebook page to communicate with parents, Principal Stacy DeCorsey recently told the Jordan School Board.

“Social networking seems to be the way that parents are getting their information,” she wrote in a report to the board last month. “I look forward to posting upcoming events and good news for the parents to see.”

Two websites can be found at by searching Facebook for “Jordan Elementary” and “Jorda n Elementa r y P TA (MN).”

Jordan Middle School also has a Facebook page, but it contains little information and does not appear to be official.

In addition, it had some audience participation involved.

“That was a great play to watch, and also participate in,” Nelson said.

Mahtomedi’s Fab Lab will hou se l a ser cut ter s a nd a silhouette fabricator, along with Computer-Aided Design (CA D) programs, 3-D scanners and printers and milling machines. Elementary, middle and high school students will be exposed to expensive, industrial-sized equipment, and the Fab Lab will be open before, during, after school and on weekends.

Classes called “How to Make (Almost) Anything” and “Ladies Night in the Lab” are scheduled.

Application labs provide hands-on opportunities to apply what students have learned in class, the newsletter said.

Designing and building sculptures, programming and printing 3-D models of molecules, designing and laser creating geometric shapes are some of the likely uses of the Fab Lab. Through a connection at the MSBA board, Pauly was invited to visit the Fab Lab at Mahtomedi High School,

and in a report to the Jordan School Board, she said she was impressed.

“The kids are amazing. I mean, they all want to go into engineering,” Pauly said.

The Fab Lab was an outgrowth of an engineering leadership program developed by the Mahtomedi school district.

Pauly said she believes that the Fab Lab proves that small districts can do great things.

They determined if a variety of their courses met the needs of students who would be attending vocational schools, two-year colleges and four-year colleges and universities.

I Teachers spent two hours working on the building goal of helping students create and revise four-year plans.

Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children As the holidays approach many of us are making plans to celebrate with those we love. For many, the holidays are a time to visit and reconnect with family we may not see throughout the year. For many, going “home for the holidays” is an event that is anticipated all year long.

Adult children return home expecting to taste Grandma’s homemade cookies or to experience Mom and Dad’s beautifully decorated home.

For some adult children their visit home may yield some surprises. They discover Grandma’s refrigerator is empty, except for a few items that expired a month ago, and she has not made her homemade cookies. She has also lost a great deal of weight. You ¿nd Mom and Dad’s home ¿lled with clutter, piles of old newspapers and a month’s worth of unopened mail. Suddenly your holiday season takes on a whole new meaning and brings with it questions and concerns. How did this happen? Are they safe living on their own? Should they continue to drive? Is she safe using the stove? Will he remember to bathe? Can they maintain their house? Will they remember to take their medications?

As Americans age, some will face problems with their cognition or thinking. Cognition involves a number of skills, including memory, orientation, judgment, problem recognition/solving, decision-making, attention, sequencing, and frustration tolerance. “Often problems in these areas are not noticed by family until a crisis arises such as a fall or a hospitalization” states Theresa Klein, Occupational Therapist and Dementia Consultant for Augustana Emerald Crest Assisted Living. Often an aging relative may notice problems or changes in themselves but do not want their family members to know. Suddenly adult children are forced to make decisions about their loved one’s ¿nances, health, safety, and appropriateness of the current living

environment.

When a family is faced with these questions they often feel overwhelmed, alone, and unsure of available resources.

Families are often reluctant to “pry”.

They do not want to “offend” their loved one by suggesting they need assistance.

So, they take notice of the situation and continue to check-in and evaluate. “I see families that leave it to fate. Mother or father are left at home until something drastic happens which forces an immediate decision”, states Christine Drasher, Director of Admissions Augustana Emerald Crest. Other families will make their best guess and hope the level of assistance put in place is adequate.

“It does not have to be a guessing game. Families don’t have to wait for a crisis to make a decision. There are signs and “red Àags” that can be recognized

to be able to make the right choice,” states Theresa Klein. One resource that can be assist families in identifying “red Àags” is an Occupational Therapist. By engaging individuals in several predetermined activities the therapist is able to make an assessment of the individual’s cognition, identifying the individual’s current abilities as well as existing de¿cits. Once determined, the therapist can interpret the meaning of the results to the family and caregivers providing them with strategies for care, ideas how they can intervene, i.e. how to compensate for the skills their loved one no longer has, and offers recommendations for appropriate level of supervision to assure safety” states Klein. Klein observes that with information provided by the Occupational Therapists, “families often report an

increased sense of con¿dence and feel more equipped to Home for the Holidays is often an eye opener for adult children make informed decisions regarding the health and safety of their loved ones.”

“The holidays are a huge eye opener for many adult children,” comments Drasher.

“Our phone is the busiest in January after adult children recognize from their visit that their loved one is declining. If families knew there was a way to predict and get accurate strategies to meet their frail loved one’s needs I believe they would feel more con¿dent in their decisions and avoid crisis.”

ANNUAL AMBULANCE REPORT

BRIEFS

It’s lights, sirens for 77 percent of calls this year

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

Seventy-seven percent of ambulance calls to the city of Jordan are considered Code 3, requiring f lashing lights and blaring sirens, representatives from Allina and Ridgeview ambulance services said last week.

Jeff Lanneberg of Allina Medical Transportation and Darel Radde of Ridgeview Ambulance Services gave their annual joint presentation to the Jordan City Council last week.

At the city hall podium, Radde offered the following statistics: I While ambulances often use lights and sirens to respond to calls for help, very few ambulances head for the hospital in a similar fashion.

I There have been more than 220 calls in Jordan in 2011.

I Twenty-one percent of the time, calls are canceled.

I Ten percent of the time, the ambulance doesn’t get to the scene in time to assist.

I The average response time is 12 to 14 minutes.

I St. F rancis Regiona l Medical Center in Shakopee receives most of the Jordan patients that end up at a hospital. Mayo Clinic Health System in New Prague comes in second.

COVERAGE AREAS In general, Allina covers the city east of Highway 21.

The ambulance service operates at a main base near the intersection of highways 13 and 169 in Savage, and soon Jordan will be serviced from

AIR AMBULANCES Jordan Mayor Pete Ewals asked about MedEvac to hospitals.

Radde said that Jordan generally uses two MedEvac providers, Lifelink III and North Memorial Health Care, for helicopter a mbu lance service.

Radde said that first responders prepare the landing zones.

Lanneberg said that an “auto-launch” system is used to speed up response times, since it takes five to seven minutes to start up a helicopter. If a call sounds serious, a copter is dispatched but can also be canceled at any time.

Any bills come from the organization that provides transportation, Radde said.

If there is no transportation, emergency medical services are free of charge.

The Jordan Police Department is war ning residents to remove all valuables from their vehicles during overnight hours.

During the past few weeks, police have taken reports of thefts from vehicles.

Most of this property has been smaller items such as sunglasses, music CDs, and loose change.

Until lately, all of the vehicles experiencing thefts had been unlocked, Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz said.

Police are receiving reports where the windows of vehicles are being broken out and items in plain view such as purses, backpacks, and other items are being stolen.

One alleged incident occurred at a home where the overhead garage door had been left open at night.

According to Malz, over the years, he has seen very few instances where vehicle windows have been broken out of vehicles to gain entry.

“Evidently, they are getting a little more desperate,” Malz said.

At the Nov. 21 city council meeting, Councilmember Mike Shaw asked the police chief if any found property has been claimed.

Malz said that a couple of car stereos have been returned to their rightful owners but not the change.

“How do we decide who it belongs to?” Malz said.

K-9 partner learns more on tracking Already this winter, Jordan Police officer Brian Stolt and K-9 partner Zeus have broadened their horizons.

They spent Oct. 17-20 taking a tracking and muzzle class, according to a monthly police events report issued by Police Chief Bob Malz.

The Eagan Police Department brought in three members of the Winnipeg Police Service K-9 unit for the tracking portion of the class, according to Malz.

You’re not a goose, stay off the ice Although thin ice may be safe for animals, such as the massive flock of Canada geese that could be seen on the Mill Pond on Wednesday, Nov. 23, the ice is not safe for people.

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds parents to caution their children to stay off ponds, streams and other water bodies that might have a thin coating of ice, in the light of a recent near tragedy in Anoka County.

On Nov. 20, an 8-year-old boy fell through a thin coating of ice on a small neighborhood pond. He was rescued after about 15 minutes in the icy water and treated at the hospital.

“Kids are attracted to ice

like a magnet,” said Tim Smalley, DNR boat and water safety specialist in a press release.

“They just don’t know how much ice it takes to support a person, nor what is or isn’t safe.”

As of Nov. 21, no ice in Minnesota has been reported by DNR conservation officers as consistently 4 inches thick, the recommended minimum thickness for walking and small group activities.

Ice safety guidelines also recommend a minimum of 5 inches of new, clear ice for snowmobiles and ATVs, and 8 to 12 inches for automobiles.

Children often go outside to play during the holidays – sometimes while meals are prepared – and they can stray onto unsafe ice. Smalley said children should not go out on the ice without adult supervision, even when conditions improve.

Last winter, four adults died falling through the ice.

Winter sports enthusiasts can obtain a free packet of ice safety information by calling DNR Information Center at (651) 296-6157 in the Twin Cities area or e-mail boatandwater. dnr@state.mn.us.

“Completely all purchases are approved by the city council at its meeting. There are not checks for payments going out that are not approved by the city council. At no time are we hiding any purchases from the city council.”

Jordan City Finance Director Tom Nikunen On city council-controlled money that one councilmember called a slush fund

BUDGET

He said other councilmembers “sit like zombies,” to which Councilmember Joe Thill quickly interrupted and successfully urged Mayor Pete Ewals to put a stop to any name calling. Boncher went on to say that it’s “more convenient for staff” to put money in an unallocated fund than classify it.

He said the city staff thinks that the council is simple minded when it comes to the unallocated fund.

“Taxpayers deserve to know where every single nickel of that is spent,” Boncher said.

He said that the city staff overrode budget cuts made by the council this year, and that city staff will do so again next year.

Cuts, like the upcoming purchase of a police car, were restored from over-budgeted accounts, Boncher said.

It’s against state law for the city to make a profit – “the profit being a healthy fund balance,” Boncher said.

Perhaps the council should seek out the city attorney’s advice on the subject, Boncher said.

Next Monday’s meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Jordan Government Center, 210 E. First St. in downtown Jordan.

“I just disagree with that comment.”

In fact, Nikunen responded to Boncher’s page of written questions with three pages of answers.

In the memo, Nikunen at length addressed Boncher’s accusations of slush funds: “My opinion is completely different than all of his comments.

“If the city council wants to approve changes to how the city of Jordan operates its budget you need to direct staff as a majority. ...

“There are no slush funds, and the unallocated department is not a slush fund.

“The city council has never said no to something that we pushed through its purchase later privately through any slush fund. Completely all purchases are approved by the city council at its meeting. There are not checks for payments going out that are not approved by the city council. At no time are we hiding any purchases from the city council.”

The city council controls the money in question.

“The only account which is not really allocated to a

www.jordannews.com

specific purpose is account 101-49200-437. This is the unallocated contingency,” Nikunen wrote. “…There are never amounts spent out of this account. If funds are requested to be spent out of this account, we do a budget transfer by resolution approved by the council. Basically, the city council is reallocated the funds from contingency to another purpose. This is not a slush fund nor is the unallocated department.”

Nikunen said that unless the council directs otherwise, which it did not, next Monday he will present the city’s proposed $3.1 million budget, a 1 percent increase in spending that requires no increase in tax levy.

Last Monday, after fellow members of the council responded to Nikunen, in part remi ndi ng t he public t hat Boncher has repeatedly questioned the finance director about the unallocated fund and other budget-related subjects, Boncher fi red off.

Boncher’s questions highlight city’s financial disagreements

BY MATHIAS BADEN editor@jordannews.com

Jordan City Finance Director Tom Nikunen politely filled Jordan City Councilmember Thom Boncher’s written request for answers to nine questions about the city budget, capital purchases and the general fund unallocated department.

But not without writing a Monday, Nov. 21, memorandum to the council alluding to the finance director’s apparent annoyance with Boncher’s inquiries. On several occasions while ad-libbing his memo last week, Nikunen told the council that in previous meetings and literature, he’d already covered his answers, for which Boncher patiently waited.

Boncher read and submitted his written questions Nov. 7, and Nikunen responded Nov. 21. The writings, combined, alternated and minimally edited here for easier reading, tell the story.

REQUEST FOR INFO Boncher: I (am) asking for some information, which I think all Council Members need when considering the budget. I don’t expect answers tonight.

Nikunen: … Almost all of the information requested was covered at the last budget work session on October 17th and the past budget meetings.

I will attempt to review the information again for Mr. Boncher and anyone else who may not have been at that meeting or the last few budget meetings. …

Boncher: Why must Debt Service/Transfer be part of the Una l located Account?

Last year this accounted for $ 217,0 0 0.0 0 of unallocated.

Surely the City has some history regarding Debt Service/ Transfer, and can make a reasonable projection, which can be placed in its’ own account.

This expense is large enough, and predictable enough to merit its’ own account.

Please show us a general ledger listing of expenditures from the Unallocated Account for 2010, and year-to-date 2011.

My intent is to learn where the unallocated funds were actually spent. For example, were funds from the Unallocated Account used to provide alary increases in 2010? Are they used to purchase capital equipment such as police cars?

Please provide a complete break down of all the sub accounts for the Unallocated Account.

Nikunen: This question deals with the fact that we budget for the transfer of funds for (Municipal State Aid) construction and maintenance in the unallocated or general government department. As I have stated before this is shown in the u n a l lo c ate d bud get si nc e unallocated is a general government departmental account. And it is show here so the City Council sees when we receive MSA funds and when funds are transferred out to either a project fund or a maintenance fund. It is not hidden in a project fund somewhere else where the city council would undoubtedly never see or track its activity.

Projects change from year to year so this is my opinion of the best place to budget this year after year so the City Council will see what’s going on. Also please note that we budget a matching revenue amount for this each year. If Mr. Boncher or anyone else wants this moved out from the unallocated general government department, that will not decrease taxes one bit.

This is just a flow thru. If we get revenues then we transfer them out. It is shown in the general fund so the City Council will be able to readily see it and track its activity.

The next few questions are on the expenditures from the unallocated department in 2010 and 2011. I have included the budget sheets for your review. The first page is a narrative of all the accounts

in the unallocated general government department. This should explain what is being purchased in the budget. The next few sheets are also from the budget book. These show the actual compared to budget for the past 6 years. The City Council sees and approves of this budget every year. These things are in unal located since these are general government things. As I have told you many times before the department heading is named “unallocated” since that is dictated by government accounting in the State of MN. It would be named general government if we didn’t pay for streets, police and fi re general expenses out of it. Those can’t be general government but can be in the unallocated department. So this has been my practice for as far back as I can fi nd budget records and the correct practice in my opinion.

The only account which is not really allocated to a specific purpose is account 101-49200-437. This is the unallocated contingency. We budget a contingency amount each year. The City Council approves this as part of its budget. For 2012, the amount proposed is $60,250 or 1.96% of the total general fund budget. The only activity in this account in the last 2 years was done with the two formal budget transfers attached. … There are never amounts spent out of this account. If funds are requested to be spent out of this account, we do a budget transfer by resolution approved by the Council. Basically, the City Council is reallocated the funds from contingency to another purpose. This is not a slush fund nor is the unallocated department. …

WATER RATE INCREASES Boncher: What is the justification for the new water and sewer rates?

Nikunen: I covered this for at least 15 minutes at the last budget session. Please look at the handout. … The reason we are requesting increases can be easily explained. …

The water fund is predicting to run a negative cash flow in 2012 of $163,238, sewer negative $43,085 and storm water a negative $29,613. The fund balances are also figured in when requesting a rate increase. Water has a much larger balance so we can do a much smaller increase. The fund balance predicted in sewer at the end of 2011 is only $775,122. Our debt payments for 2012 alone are $550,000. We need to collect more sewer revenues to ensure we have a healthy fund balance both for running a good government and we have investors in our bonds who track our fund balance health.

The same can be said of the storm water fund. …

BILL FLUCTUATIONS Boncher: I understand that sewer and storm sewer bills are averaged, and that the average is reset once per year. Is that correct? If so, why would someone’s sewer bill change from month to month?

Nikunen: The storm water bills are not averaged. They are based on area. They won’t fluctuate at all from month to month.

The sewer bills are averaged based on the fi rst three bills of the year: January, March, and May. These bills would cover service from November through April. These are typically the non-outside watering months in Minnesota. The amount charged from sewer usage will be your average or your actual water usage for that bill whichever is lower. So your bill may fluctuate but only in your favor. Also to note that the average will be readjusted on bills 1, 2 and 3 when it adds in the new bill 1, 2 and 3 usages to figure a new average. But your sewer usage in bills 4, 5 and 6 should be the same or your actual water usage whichever is lower.

Also please see the comparison of 2011 total water bill to the proposed 2012 water bill. The average home will se $1.79/month increase to

its City of Jordan utility bill next year for the winter bills and $1.96 for the summer bills.

This is figuring 3,000 gallons a month in the winter and 10,000 a month in the summer. …

MONEY FOR CITY HALL Boncher: A re there any funds left in the account originally created for the new City Hall? (If not, where were those funds used?)

Nikunen: If the question is about the budgeted funds in the general fund from 2008, those funds were cut from the budget per Council approval to cover some of the State Aid cuts that year. They were taken out of the budget entirely in 2009. If you mean the funds from the 2010 fund balance policy allocation those funds are still in a capital fund called City Facilities. We have a balance of $174,756 to be used for perhaps the library or a future city hall/police station. We also have $174,756 for the trail project for (County Road) 66, the road the county just did, in another separate capital fund. …

VEHICLE REPLACEMENT Boncher: Finally, when will we see the City’s Capital Replacement Plan? This is a decisive component in the budget decision making process.

Nikunen: I believe this is the list of trucks, cars and loaders Mr. Boncher had requested two meetings ago.

That is something the Fire Chief, Police Chief, Public Works Director and myself have been working on. …

If your question is about the CIP or capital improvement plan that is also attached for you review. I would be more than happy to bring up any or all of these documents on the overhead if you want to discuss items in the CIP or the list of major vehicle replacement schedule. …

SLUSH FUNDS Boncher: I strongly recommend removing Debt Service/ Transfer from the Unallocated Account to its’ own account.

I also strongly recommend cutting the remaining Unallocated Account by 25%. Staff should not use this account as a means of getting around the Council’s wishes regarding cost control. Staff needs to stop creating slush funds that can be tapped for things the Council turns down. If staff feels a squad car is a must, it should be clearly stated in the budget, and not funded from Unallocated/Contingency funds. In my opinion, we are not being entirely candid about how tax dollars are being spent.

Nikunen: My opinion is completely different than all of his comments. If the City Counci l wants to approve changes to how the City of Jordan operates its budget you need to direct staff as a majority not just one Council person.

There are no slush funds and the unallocated department is not a slush fund. The City Council has never said no to something that we pushed through its purchase later privately through any slush fund.

Completely all purchases are approved by the City Council at its meeting. There are not checks for payments going out that are not approved by the City Council. At no time are we hiding any purchases from the City Council. Without contrary direction from the entire City Council the budget will be presented at the December 5, 2011 (budget) Hearing as you have seen it during the many budget sessions to date.

‘GOOD TO REVIEW’ Councilmember Tanya Velishek and Mayor Pete Ewals thanked Nikunen for answering Boncher’s questions.

Velishek said that Nikunen did a lot of work on the report and included plenty of details in his descriptions.

“You’ve answered some of these questions in the past,” she said. “Some of it’s repeat.”

Velishek noted that she was glad to have seen the capital improvement plan again.

“It’s always good to review it,” Ewals added.

HUBMEN BASKETBALL PANTHERS WRESTLING

Scott West captains Gabe Fogarty (left), Michael Kroells, Luke Betchwars and Nick Dvorak will lead the Panthers this winter.

Can they top last year?

Scott West begins season ranked third in Class 2A

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

When the Scott West wrestling team left the Xcel Energy Center last March, the team felt that it just had its best season ever.

It was easy to feel that way after they fi nished second in Class 2A team tournament, crowned two individual state champions and had six other wrestlers place at state.

Their goal for this season is to top last year’s success.

It will be difficult, but with both state champions returning and seven other teammates who wrestled at state, they certainly have a chance to improve.

“Last year is last year, and last year is over,” co-head coach Darren Ripley said. “It was a great year, but it is now time to turn the page and see what this team is all about and what things that they can accomplish as a team and individuals.”

The Panthers begin the season as the third-ranked team in Class 3A behind Simley and Foley.

They also have seven wrestlers ranked by the Guillotine, a wrestling publication accepted as an authority on rating high school wrestlers.

T h e t wo r e t u r n i n g s t at e champions for Scott West are seniors Gabe Fogarty and Michael Kroells.

Kroells, who will wrestle for the University of Minnesota next year, begins the season as the No. 1-ranked wrestler in the state and 220 pounds. He is also the thirdranked wrestler in the nation.

“He is looking every bit of the Division I stud recruit wrestler that he is,” Ripley said.

Fogarty isn’t as highly touted as Kroells, but he went 33-2 a year ago on his way to the 135-pound state title.

He begins this season ranked second at 14 5 pounds behind Simley’s Jake Short, who has won the past two state titles at 140 pounds.

“I think Gabe is excited to get this season started,” Ripley said.

After Fogarty and Kroells, the Panthers have two other wrestlers who are ranked as high as second.

Sophomore Zach Siegle begins the season ranked second at 106 pounds after a 32-8 season last year.

Senior Charlie Pesch is ranked second at 152 pounds.

Other ranked wrestlers for Scott West are senior Luke Betchwars, Luke Zilverberg, and Nick Dvorak.

Betchwars is ranked fourth at 113 pounds, Zilverberg third at 126 pounds and Dvorak third at 170 pounds.

Others wrestlers returning for the Panthers are Lee Vest, Jake DeWeese, Mike Riker, Patrick Dvorak, Phillip Dvorak, and Andrew Fogarty.

Senior Charlie Pesch begins the season ranked second at 152 pounds.

Ripley and the rest of the Panther coaching staff have high hopes for two young wrestlers who saw a little varsity action a year ago.

Freshman David Flynn and sophomore Derek Dahlke finished high at last year’s ninthgrade state tournament, with Dahlke fi nishing third and Flynn fi fth.

Ju n ior Ja ke Weierke a nd eighth-grader Ben Kelvington round out the Panthers returning letter winners.

BIG CHANGES There are some big changes coming to Minnesota wrestling and Scott West.

During the summer, the National Federations of State High School Associations changed the weight classes for wrestling.

There will still be 14 weight classes but at different weights.

The weight classes start at 106 pounds, instead of 103, and go up to heavyweight.

“Personally, I do not think that they are good for high school wrestling, and I have various reasons for that,” Ripley said.

“They basically made three modifications in: fi rst bumping up the lightest weight; secondly, they essentially deleted the 140 weight class; and then they basically made the old weight of 189 into two weight classes, with one at 182 and a second at 195.”

The second big change for the Panthers is that they are returning to conference wrestling.

Scott West was forced to leave the Minnesota River Conference after winning its 10th straight title in 2002.

The Panthers return to the MRC this winter and will be competing for the conference championship.

“It really isn’t a big change in the grand spectrum of things, other than our team and individuals will now have an opportunity to compete for Minnesota River Conference honors.”

The Panthers season begins Friday against the No. 7- and No. 8-ranked teams in Class 3A, Cambridge -Isanti and W hite Bear Lake, at the White Bear Lake Quad.

The next day, they travel to the Lakeville North Invitational.

“It should make for a good opening weekend of wrestling,” Ripley said. “There should be three good team dual meets on Friday and then a good individual tournament on Saturday.”

Season rests on defense Offense should not be problem for boys team

BY TODD ABELN tabeln@swpub.com

With as many as seven players returning from last year’s team, you would think Jordan boys basketball coach Matt Urbanek would know what type of team he would have this season.

But t here a re ma ny question marks.

“We have so many questions, we don’t know what we have,” he said.

“We have a lot of potential though to have a very good year.”

The biggest question mark for the Hubmen will be their defense or their commitment to it.

“I’m concerned about our play on the defensive end,” Urbanek said.

“That’s going to determine what type of season we have. If the guys commit to playing defense, we could have a solid year, but the jury is still out on that.”

To help out the team and its players on defense, Urbanek said they will try some different things than just the man-to-man defense they have played the last two years.

That means more zone and fullcourt pressure for the Hubmen.

“We will need to defend as a team,” he said.

That need arises because the Hubmen will not be a very tall team this year.

In fact, Urbanek said he envisions them playing a lot of three-guard sets this season.

While defense is a big concern for Urbanek, offense is not.

The Hubmen return three of their top four scorers from last year and shouldn’t have any trouble putting the ball in the hoop.

“I think we are going to be a fairly solid offensive team,” Urbanek said.

The offense might start off a little slow, though, as senior Micah Hennen will miss the fi rst couple of weeks with an ankle injury.

Initially, the scoring responsibilities fall to senior point guard Kevin Way, and juniors Nate Beckman and Jake Anderson.

Once Hennen comes back, Jordan should be able to put four scorers on the floor at once.

“We are going to depend on those guys to score,” Urbanek said. “They all have the ability to score the ball, but they also have to display the willingness to move the ball within the offense.’

Senior Kurt Schansberg will be looked to provide size and rebounding on both ends of the floor.

“We are looking for Kurt to take a step forward and have significant impact on the team,” Urbanek said.

Those five will most likely get the majority of the minutes, but Urbanek said players like Andy Schrader, Ethan Kelley, Nick Heitkamp, Trulo Adams, Justin Freund, Reece Oleson, Eli Crawford, Alex Vollbrecht and Donterrius Tyler will also play for the Hubmen.

“We will have a variety of lineups,” Urbanek said.

The Hubmen open the season tonight at Blue Earth.

Depending on the youth’s age and experience, the CD should take approximately two to four hours to complete.

Once they complete the CD, students print out a voucher of completion and look on the DNR website to find and register for a one-day snowmobile safety CD class in their area.

The one-day class includes classroom review of priority safety information and a performance driving course.

Youths will not be allowed to participate in the classroom review and performance test unless they have completed the youth snowmobile safety CD. To obtain the CD, or for general information, call (651) 296-6157 or send an e-mail to info.dnr@state.mn.us.

Updated signs would also be added.

Except for the newly improved intersection of highways 21 and 282 – “an exception area” – the 1-1/2-mile stretch of roadway between Mill Street and Highway 169 is “a rough ride,” Langenbach said. MnDOT has rated the pavement there has been rated fair to poor, she added.

The road will get new curbs and gutters as necessary, as well as new pedestrian crossings.

No roadwork is scheduled at the intersection of highways 21 and 282, but ramps at the intersection of highways 21 and 169 will be resurfaced.

POSSIBLE BUMP-OUTS As part of MnDOT’s transition plan to comply with ADA, state officials have been walking the Highway 21 corridor, trying to ensure compliance of sidewalks and curbs.

Give your opinion The Minnesota Department of Transportation has proposed $1 million of road rehabilitation work on Broadway Street in downtown Jordan.

To say your piece online at jordannews.com, go to tinyurl.

com/hwy21bumpouts.

For more information, go to dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/

hwy21jordan.

To comment on the project, contact Langenbach at diane. langenbach@state.mn.us or (651) 234-7721.

The project is one of many that are meant to make areas with very high average daily traffic counts safer and more pedestrian and retail friendly.

Thus, bump-outs have been proposed. According to MnDOT, the benefits of bump-outs include: shorter crossing distances for pedestrians; improved sight lines, helping motorists and pedestrians can better see one another; traffic calming, aka slower speeds; potential for aesthetic improvements;

a clean and clear separation between on-street parking lanes and travel lanes; and an inexpensive option to improve overall safety.

“Pedestrians can not only see the cars that are coming but the cars can see the pedestrians,” Langenbach said.

There is one disadvantage, Langenbach and Bendzick said: Snowplowing around bumpouts is difficult.

If approved, the bump-outs would almost surely cause a headache for Public Works’ snowplow drivers, Bendzick told the council. “This is a

“This is a maintenance nightmare. … I’m not saying it’s going to double our time, but it’s going to extend it.”

Jordan Public Works Director Dave Bendzick On proposed Broadway Street bump-outs maintenance nightmare. …

I’m not saying it’s going to double our time, but it’s going to extend it.”

In 1995, the state proposed but did not follow through with a similar plan for bump-outs, Bendzick said.

SHORT TIMELINE MnDOT officials gave the city engineer an early heads-up about the 3-inch mill and overlay project, which he brought up to the council earlier this year.

With an eye on the 2 012 summer construction season, the state has entered the fi nal desig n phase, La ngenbach said.

The project would be let for bids on April 27, awarded to a contractor four to six weeks later, and construction would begin on about June 1, she said.

PUT ‘ER THERE, PARTNER An open house and public i n for m ation me eti n g took place yesterday (Wednesday) at the Jordan G over nment Center.

In state projects through other cities’ downtowns, enhancements have come after discussions with residents, business owners, and city officials, Langenbach said. For example, concrete planters were added to bump-outs in Marshall, and in St. Peter, on an admittedly much wider road, a center median was constructed along with bumpouts.

“We do try and partner with our local cities,” Langenbach said.

She added that she anticipates the state realigning the sidewalk at the intersection of

Mill and Broadway streets in Jordan.

Mayor Pete Ewals asked if tree replacement is part of MnDOT’s proposal.

“That’d be all our cost,” Bendzick said.

Anticipating concerns from businesses, plans are being made to keep some highway lanes open to traffic and the sidewalks open to customers during the roadwork, Langenbach said. “I’m the business liaison.”

Given the improved sight lines, traffic calming from a proposal that “closes in the roadway,” and some aesthetic oppor tunities, “the advantages defi nitely outweigh the disadvantages,” Langenbach said.

But, she added, state officials still want to talk about it.

with a Chicago brick wall.

Pete collected many beer items. Sandy has a depressionglass collection along with wall pottery and Planters jars. There will also be lots of antique furniture and light fixtures to see.

For holiday traditions, the family makes ice candles.

They take some to the cemetery for their loved ones, and after midnight mass they gather with family.

Santa gifts are opened Christmas morning and the rest of the day is spent relaxing with family.

BETCHWARS

HENTGES

Sandy Betchwars lives at 17076 Deerwood Lane in Sand Creek Township.

Her family includes her son Frank, 19, son Luke, 17, a German Shepherd named Jack, and a German shorthair named Jesse. The kids’ dad, Pete, is deceased.

They have lived in their home for 19-1/2 years. The house was built between 1991 and 1992. Pete did all the painting, staining and other personal touches. There’s a floor-to-ceiling stained glass window in the master bedroom. There’s a metal ceiling in the basement, along

Jen and Jeff Hentges live at 17371 Highway 169 in Sand Creek Township.

They have four children.

Their son is Michael Branden.

He and a live-in friend of Michael’s, Ray Aune, are both seniors at Jordan High School.

Both daughters go to Jordan Elementary School – Gabbie is in third grade, and Sophie is in second grade. They have four cats – all rescued – and an 8-year-old lab-retriever mix that was rescued as a puppy.

Jen works at home. She bakes and cooks a lot and does crafts as a home-based business.

Their house was built in the 1960s. It was remodeled to be a duplex. However, they live in the whole home, and the boys have their own kitchen, living room and dining area.

The holiday dishes are all passed down from Jen’s family. Many tree ornaments were lost a few years ago in a flood, but some were rescued.

They’re Jen and Jeff ’s ornaments from when they were growing up.

Traditionally, the family decorates the trees with Christmas music on with the whole family. Christmas morning, they are up early and have coffee, cocoa, juice and homemade cinnamon rolls that Jen’s parents make – they come every Christmas morning.

Jen has helpers for the day and plenty of decorations.

Family members have donated many great decorations and lights.

Gary and Joanie Beise’s Christmas tree has antique ornaments that are 60 to 70 years old.

Their home was built in 1997, and is log and cedar with a stone front. The inside is stone, log and cedar.

They have antiques, a Department 56 North Pole village, wildlife art and mounts, and a “pondering room” made with hand-hewed logs, they said.

During the holidays, the family bakes dozens of different kinds of cookies and treats, sets up four different Christmas trees, and spends time with family and friends.

MCGARRY

Their home was built in 2000, and they have rooms they call the Lodge, Dave’s Cave and Great Grandma’s Room.

Visitors can look to the tree for antique ornaments that are 60 to 70 years old and in amazing condition. There are more than 60 buildings in Department 56 style minivillages, including the North Pole, Christmas in the City and New England collections.

There are 2,300 lights on a 9-foot-high tree and more than 600 ornaments from antique to homemade to Hallmark designs.

As for holiday traditions, the Beises send more than 100 cards and letters each year. They bake cookies. During 38 years of marriage, they’ve had hundreds of parties. Each gift is wrapped in different paper with ribbons and bows, and kids’ church programs are a must.

According to the Beises, they start playing Christmas music earlier every year.
