The feel of a public park is a goal of the new management. The orchard opens Aug. 1, and visitors are invited.

Three years to save paradise

Apple orchard’s fate depends on the people working to turn the place around – and visitorsBY DAVID SCHUELLER

The memory of one man looms large in the rows of apple trees and buildings at Minnesota Harvest apple orchard.

John “Topper” Sponsel, who passed away from a heart attack during a 2006 hiking trip, ran the orchard – and for many epitomized the family-oriented generosity that they found there over the years.

Memories, in general, may help keep the orchard from becom-ing a housing development, as people who remember visiting the orchard as children come back with children of their own.

Police pull teen from Lagoon Park waterfall using new ResQ DiscBY DAVID SCHUELLER

[email protected]

A narrow rescue on Monday, June 27 prevented a swimmer from being swept over the Lagoon Park waterfall.

At around 3 p.m. a call came in to the Jordan Police Department report-ing that a girl was about to go over the falls in Sand Creek.

When offi cers and the Jordan Fire Department responded, a teenage girl was hanging onto a log at the edge of the falls, the current swift after recent rainfall.

HOTEL MARKETING

Open the book on proposals for new library

2-year-old info needs refresherBY MATHIAS BADEN

[email protected]

Jordan will throw another $ 3,500 to Hospitality Market-ers Inc. consultants when they update a market study meant to encourage hotel development in town.

On Tuesday, the Jordan City Council voted 6 - 0 to follow a Jordan Economic Development Authority (EDA) recommenda-tion to refresh the city’s hotel market study. Councilmember Mike Shaw was absent from the meeting.

Two years ago, the EDA and Jordan City Administrator Ed Shukle got serious about draw-ing a hotel to the city, releasing a market study that affi rmed that Jordan could support a $3 million, 50-room, brand-name hotel.

“Right now, we’re trying to get one,” Shukle said, “and (the study) is extremely valuable.”

HMI’s phase-one study identi-fied two key areas of Jordan’s Triangle business district – the former site of the Trimart gas station, or another piece of land near the intersection of Seville Drive and Creek Lane – as the most attractive potential sites for a hotel.

It recommended the size, style and amount of investment.

The city-commissioned study said that the nearby attractions – such as the Renaissance Festival, Scott County Fair, Heimatfest, apple orchards, baseball and other sports tournaments and the Jordan Art Festival, among other things – would help any new hotel business become viable.

Read it, and believe it: Jordan has an offer on the table for fi nanc-ing a new, larger library.

After years of talk and inaction on the inadequacies of its library, the Jordan City Council set up a meeting with the Scott County Community Development Agen-cy’s Bill Jaffa and Scott County Administrator Gary Shelton, who are offering to help the city fund the construction of a new facility.

A workshop will take place at the end of summer.

“As part of the same meeting, other options would be discussed,” City Administrator Ed Shukle wrote in a memorandum to the council. “For your information, the SCCDA recently purchased all four lots owned by Charles Vig at Seville Drive and Creek Lane. This transaction is set to close on July 31, 2011. SCCDA is working with St. Francis (Regional Medical Center) to locate its clinic in the proposed senior living facility or to have a stand-alone building on the property with a connection to the housing project. St. Francis is considering these options but also is looking at other sites within the city.

Challenge course concept

The concept sketch for Sand Creek Adventures, a challenge course, includes zip lines, ropes courses, a kayak launch and more. Duane Larson is capitalizing on a piece of property in Helena Township that off ers all of the topography necessary to build such a place.

Course concept depends on preserving natureBY MATHIAS BADEN

[email protected]

Duane Larson and Jeff Frick visualize big things for their

challenge course in Helena Township.

Will there be whitewater rafting, camping and rock climbing someday? Maybe.

But for now, they’re focusing on sharing the in-the-middle-of-nowhere feel of 20 acres south of Jordan. Sand Creek Adven-tures’ location features high bluffs, the Minnesota River valley vista, and – of course – Sand Creek.

The new business owned by Larson of New Prague and promoted by Frick of Cedar Lake Township depends on preservation of the exceptional nature in the area.

“We want to kind of keep it as rustic as possible,” Frick said.

While customers – busi-nesses and nonprofi t organiza-tions are the targets – will come to the challenge course for zip lines and ropes courses, it’s common to see bank swallows, green and black dragonflies, herons and fi sh in the densely wooded property.

The forest offers educational opportunities akin to those available at Wolf Ridge Envi-ronmental Learning Center near Finland, Minn.

But Sand Creek Adventures is closer than New Prague. A trip

to the local challenge course will not require nearly as much fuel nor staying overnight.

Despite some development necessary for the challenge course, a walk on cedar chip or crushed limestone paths under a canopy of tree branches has been preserved.

“We’ve left it still pretty pristine,” Frick said. “We don’t want to lose the effect of where they are.”

And the quiet eddies and occasional sandbars along the creek’s seasonal rapids, where there really are not even as many bugs as you’d think, make an exciting and scenic setting for kayaking or white-water rafting.

Rock climbing might even-tually be offered, Frick said, but an erosion control project would be in order, prior to that kind of expansion, Frick said.

E-READERINSIGHTS

Because increasingly popular e-readers inherently involve look-ing at a screen, they can bring about so-called “computer vision syndrome” (CVS), which causes symptoms such as headaches, blurred vision, a burning sensa-tion, and eye strain. These and other uncomfortable side effects may be brought on by staring at a smart phone, laptop, or e-reader screen for prolonged periods (two hours or more). CVS occurs because our eyes and brain react to letters and numerals on the screen in a different manner than they do to printed characters. One notable exception involves e-readers that use “electric ink,” which has sharply defi ned type and is easier on the eyes. Other e-readers with backlit LCD screens are more likely to be problematic.

It is very important to make sure your eyes are healthy when they are put under great strain every day. We can provide you with the services needed to see clearly and keep you and your family’s eyes healthy. Come on down to try on frames at 223 E. First Street, Suite 101. Our vast selection of frames include Nike, Kate Spade, Harley, Flex-on, as well as Candies. You can call us at 952-492-2350 to schedule an eye exam today!P.S. No matter what you are read-ing, it helps to take frequent breaks to exercise distance vision.

Tooth Talk

YOUR CHILD’S TEETHParents often ask me what age is best for their child’s fi rst dental visit. This varies greatly depending on the child, but I tend to have the most success with children ages two to four for their fi rst visit. Pediatricians may recommend earlier than that for certain concerns such as early decay. At my offi ce, we usually al-low the youngest child of the family to observe an older sibling or parent during their professional cleaning and evaluation so they know what to expect at their visit. By that point, most children warm up to the idea and jump right in the chair without much hesitation. At that visit, we will examine the teeth for decay or ab-normalities and observe for proper eruption of teeth and growth. The children receive a fun ride in the “big chair,” get to count their teeth in the overhead mirror and if coopera-tive, receive a professional cleaning and a special prize as well. Chil-dren over four can receive x-rays and fl uoride treatments. My best advice to parents in preparation for their child’s fi rst visit is to give plenty of positive reinforcement and encouragement. We enjoy children at our practice and always welcome new families!

This goat was made for meat. And it cleans up so nice. Paige Pitlick, left, and her dad Pat Pitlick own a herd of goats at home and often travel to goat shows.

WATER BILLS

The goat workout plan: Goat gains the pounds while you lose them. James Shepard of Lynnville, Iowa exercises his goat, Maggie, every day. Shepard had to do some last-minute trimming and combing before the show to make sure Maggie was looking tip-top.

Bleeeat! Groomed goats show musclesBY DAVID SCHUELLER

[email protected]

Maggie gained 100 pounds.That was a good thing for

James Shepard of Lynnville, Iowa.

Maggie is Shepard’s favorite goat. The two walk a couple miles a night together, which helps both of them stay in shape – and he gets to show her off.

“I lost 100 pounds and she gained it,” Shepard said.

Shepard and Maggie were in the Jordan area this past weekend for the fi rst ever Minne-GOAT-a show at the Scott County Fair grounds in St. Lawrence Township.

The July 2-3 show was organized by the Pitlick family of Sand Creek Township.

Attendance for the show exceeded expectations.

“They had 188 entries, which rivals most shows. I was super impressed,” Shepard said.

Pat and Michele Pitlick and their daughter, Paige, and son, Nick, helped organize and run the show, and Paige and Nick showed goats.

They, it turns out, were the reason that there was a show at all. They’ve been involved in 4-H with their goats, and have a herd of about 45-50 at home. They’ve enjoyed meeting some of the same people at goat shows, but had been traveling long distances to attend.

“We were always having to travel out of state to go for shows,” Michele said.

So they organized their own, and it brought entries

from fi ve states: 188 on Saturday and 177 on Sunday.

Pat said they would’ve been “tickled” had 50 or 60

goats been entered. Local businesses donated about $2,000 to bring judges in from out of state.

The show was sanctioned by the American Boer Goat Association (ABGA). A Boer goat is raised primarily for meat, rather than milk. They’re relatively new to Minnesota, and were originally developed in South Africa for their meat.

“These are not dairy goats,” Pat said. “These are meat goats.”

As such, judges put high consideration on a buck’s muscle structure, and for a doe, on how wide they are and how they walk.

Those in the know say most of the world eats goat meat, though not as much in the U.S.

The show wasn’t related to the Scott County Fair, though there is a dairy open show at the fair, Pat said.

This weekend’s show was the only ABGA show around the metro area for Boer goats this year, after a Lake Elmo show was canceled, Pat said.

“There’s no sanctioned shows in the metro area,” he said.

After the show, Pat said he couldn’t ask for a better fi rst-year event.

“Just about everybody wanted to know if we were going to do it again next year,” Pat said, adding that they hope to hold it again.

“It ran very smooth,” he said.

For Shepard, the turnout was impressive, considering some shows in Texas only get around 60 entries, he said, compared to three times that this past weekend.

“That’s just an incredible number,” Shepard said.

Pay up, or city comes aft er youClock ticks for owners with overdue assessmentsBY MATHIAS BADEN

[email protected]

If a small number of Jordan residents never pay their water bill assessments, their water will be shut off.

Last month, under a new policy of the Jordan City Council, the city sent out warn-ing letters to residents with delinquent water bills. Their water could be shut off as soon as Monday, July 11.

“The problem is, the clock is ticking,” Mayor Pete Ewals said of the residents who might fi le for bankruptcy and thus avoid paying whatever delinquent water bills they can. (They won’t get out of any assessments that the city council certifi ed against the property, though; assessments stay with the property, even after sale or foreclosure.)

Last year, Jordan residents racked up a total of about $160,000 in delinquent water bills, a troubling number that nearly dou-bled between the past two years. The city council certifi ed the amount to residents’ taxes, and received most of the money this year.

Some of those who still owe money have been delinquent since 2007, Finance Direc-tor Tom Nikunen said. Some, he said, are hurting fi nancially and are asking for more time to pay their bills.

“What he’s asking for is an exception,” Councilmember Thom Boncher said of one homeowner.

Councilmember Tanya Velishek said that the city staff could offer a way – “some kind of compassion” – for homeowners to avoid home foreclosure, when the situa-tions arise.

“Most cities want to do something to keep people in these homes,” Nikunen said.

Councilmember Mike Shaw asked that the council allow the city staff to “work it out” with homeowners who plan to pay, ex-ercising some leniency on water shutoffs.

Councilmember Joe Thill said the city staff should get information about people’s situations and make the tough decisions.

“There’s people hurting,” Thill said, “and we’ve got our duty to do, too. But I think it’s important that we do it compas-sionately.”

The council voted 6-1 for city staff to use discretion in allowing payment plans for the unpaid water bill assessments. Councilmember Sally Schultz opposed the measure.

Closed for business? Find hours online

Jordan City Councilmember Joe Thill said on May 2 that he thinks Jordan businesses need a website that will list their hours of operation.

He suggested the Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce post such information, but of course, the hard sell is that he wants nonmembers’ hours listed, as well as all chamber members.

“That’s your pitch (for enticing new members),” Thill said. “They’ve embraced it, I think.”

Jordan Public Works Director Dave Bendzick’s reply: “That’s a county road (66). If they want to light it, they’ll light it. I don’t know that we would want to light it.”

An introvert responds to some extrovert assumptionsThe other day a friend of

mine shared with me a list of myths about introverts. This sounds so much better than, “The other day one of my friends on Facebook shared a link to ‘The Top Ten Myths about Introverts,’” because this description could conjure up an image of a lone fi gure in a dark room crouched over a keyboard spending time with his only friends.

I am not that person, but neither am I one who wants to walk around with a “Hello, my name is ____” badge in a room full of people (strangers or acquaintances). I think I’m somewhere in the middle. You, of course, will have your own opinions.

In general, an extrovert needs to be around other people to get energized; an introvert needs solitude to get re-energized after being with a

group. I am not professionally trained as a psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, counselor or a member of a religious order. So I really have no business even writing about this, but I fi nd it interesting – so there.

Carl King (carlkingcreative.com) put the list of myths together after he had read “The Introvert Advantage,”

a book by Marti Olsen Laney, Psy.D. So here are my comments about a list that was given to me by a friend that had been compiled by someone else after they read a book written by yet another person. Plus I am using the Internet as a source (so you know it’s reliable).

Mr. King’s myth list (say it fast three times) is what extroverts believe to be true about introverts. The response is what I believe an introvert may say to an extrovert if pushed.

Myth No. 1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. “That’s like saying extroverts don’t like to listen. A good conversationalist is one who is both a good listener and a thoughtful speaker.”

Myth No. 2 – Introverts are shy. “I think your confusing shyness with being reserved. Not everyone is quick to show

their cards. Some will choose to pass and not play. It is only after they have watched a few rounds that they will choose to participate.”

Myth No. 3 – Introverts are rude. “Now who’s being rude? Would you rather I toss out meaningless pleasantries to make you feel comfortable? An introvert would rather be direct and sincere than to run around the woods trying to become one of the trees just to fi t in.”

Myth No. 4 – Introverts don’t like people. “It’s not that we don’t like people; it’s just that our friends are fewer and closer and may last a lifetime. It just takes a little longer to get to know us – but it’s worth the time spent.”

Myth No. 5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public. “I just like to take it in smaller amounts. The stimulus, the conversations, the

interactions must be taken in and mulled over. I need some time to sort it all out.”

Myth No. 6 – Introverts always want to be alone. “Not always. Sometimes I need a few minutes alone to think. I can be very happy just daydreaming. But solitude can change to loneliness if there is no one with whom to share my thoughts.”

Myth No. 7 – Introverts are weird. “There you are being rude again. You think I am weird because I don’t always go with the group. I usually like to think things through and may choose to follow a different path than the one you’re on.”

Myth No. 8 – Introverts are aloof nerds. “What, more name calling? Keep it up and you’ll never get to know me. I would rather be thought aloof than a fool who speaks and acts without thinking. I am

just trying to be careful and considerate.”

Myth No. 9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun. “My idea of fun is just different than yours. It may involve a more private and quiet activity. I need time away from the noise so that I can unwind and recharge my batteries.”

Myth No. 10 – Introverts can fi x themselves and become extroverts. “I don’t think I need to be fi xed. Sometimes I need to be alone, and other times I need the company of others. I think that most people are like that. But please let’s dispense with the name tags, I will introduce myself when I am ready.”

No match for hope, hard work


This year’s tree – a sunburst locust – honored the class of 2011 from River Valley High School in Jordan. Teachers Andra Van Dyne and Karl Sneider help manage the gardens along with teacher Jane Kempf (not pictured), and students.

Ever notice the extensive and sharp-looking gardens and rows of trees while driving on Hillside Drive past the Minnesota River Valley Special Education Cooperative (MRVSEC) building in Jordan?

Like life, there’s more to the gardens than meets the eye.

The gardens and trees are success stories in a place – the school serves special needs students – where kids can be well-versed in struggle.

But outside in the dirt, planting, maintaining and studying plants becomes a way for kids to learn a respect for life. They take pride in the gardens. They learn the value of hard work, and about the plants themselves. And they experience the importance of symbol and ceremony – each year a tree is planted to honor a graduating class from the high school.

“We like to have them have an understanding of nature, and that all things are connected,” said Karl Sneider, teacher at River Valley High School.

The gardens tie in with the Lakota Sioux phrase Mitakuye Oyasin, which roughly means “we are all related.” They gardens and the philosophy of the high school springs from the idea, said teacher Andra Van Dyne.

There are several sections of the gardens behind the building. One is a peace garden that students designed in the 2006-2007 year.

Junior high and high school students have their own gardens with fl owers and garden art. And, there are now 13 trees, one for every year of graduates.

“This is the most important part to me, the concept of our trees. To me, the trees are sacred,” Sneider said.

Van Dyne said graduates come back, some 10 years later, to see their tree. The tree is something they take pride in. It helps students connect, students who don’t get the same high school memories as those who attend Jordan High School just up the road.

“It defi nitely roots them to their progress and their high school experience,” Van Dyne said.

In a ceremony with families present, children put the fi rst water on the newly planted tree at graduation time. Small fl ags are attached to the tree to symbolize the four directions on the American Indian medicine wheel.

Just the fact that anything besides grass grows there is a success.

Junior high teacher Jane Kempf said they were told it wouldn’t be a good place for growing.

“There was nothing there but rocks and clay and bad soil,” Kempf said.

They started with a couple donated plants 13 years ago.

Now, there are as many as 75-100 different types of plants, and enough for kids to take plants home with them.

The gardens add beauty to the back of a building that could look drab otherwise. Kids learn a respect for life, as well as the names of plants, and they learn scientifi c concepts as part of curriculum at the school.

There’s also the emotional side to the gardening.

“They get a chance to connect with another being,” Kempf said.

It may sound like a mushy gooshy idea. But kids learn that life is meant to be nurtured. They get to earn a trust level by being outside working.

“These are people who need help, who need love,” Sneider said.

Kempf said that the garden helps kids open up.

She calls it “dirt therapy.” “They feel comfortable to talk,

and a lot of time, things come out,” Kempf said.

City council keeps faith, continues hotel pursuit

It’s not like the city of Jordan to give up on an important project.

For a long time, city offi cials have sought a hotel. And they are still say-ing that the city is likely to get one.

Two years ago, the Jordan Eco-nomic Development Authority and Jordan City Administrator Ed Shukle got serious about drawing a hotel to the city, releasing a market study that affi rmed that it could support a $3 mil-lion, 50-room, brand-name hotel.

Hospitality Marketers Inc.’s study identifi ed two key areas of Jordan’s Triangle business district – the for-mer site of the Trimart gas station, or another piece of land near the in-tersection of Seville Drive and Creek Lane – as the most attractive potential sites for a hotel.

The city-commissioned study said that the nearby attractions – such as the Renaissance Festival, Scott Coun-ty Fair, Heimatfest, apple orchards, baseball and other sports tourna-ments and the Jordan Art Festival, among other things – would help a new hotel business become viable.

This week, the city council voted 6-0 to approve an update of the city’s hotel market study.

Good move by the council.As we all know, we live in a Repub-

lican county and town. And lately, Republicans want one main thing: freedom from tax increases. With Re-publicans’ recent push for lower taxes or at least living within our means, city offi cials will be feeling the heat soon – if they aren’t already.

In a town like Jordan, reasoning people all support economic devel-opment because it pays – we need to bring in homes and especially tax-paying businesses in large buildings. When we bring in new businesses, the tax base broadens and the tax rate can go down.

Economic development is not rocket science. It makes common sense.

But it takes patience to wait for the right timing for economic develop-ment.

The Jordan area, including one nearby township where a particularly large housing development had been rumored but never materialized, has suffered its share of setbacks on eco-nomic development in recent years. Largely, the lack of development as of late can be attributed to a downward spiraling economy.

If the economy has taken a toll on Jordan, it has left the town still a great place to live but with incred-ibly depressed housing prices. Not that we and our neighbors are not suffering – in many ways, we are. But we’re not ones who do nothing about it, either.

In the face of economic crisis, thanks to tremendous volunteers and donors, we’ve created a food shelf, refurbished a ballpark at a reduced rate, rebuilt roads, completed an exceptional Mill Pond beach project, added onto city buildings and more.

We are making plans for a new library, and senior housing establish-ments are cropping up in Jordan.

Talks about constructing a new city hall and a police station have not ceased.

We’ll keep our Mini-Met viable with a new bridge, it seems.

Maybe a medical clinic will eventu-ally materialize.

All of these proposed and realized projects live on, despite the fact that we have tightened our grips on our wallets at most levels of government that directly affect Jordan, and we are waiting for the right timing.

To those of you who support busi-ness expansion in Jordan: Keep trying. Don’t give up. You’ll get your hotel. And you’ll get your broader tax base.

It’s just a matter of timing and steadfast perseverance.

The gardens look even better up close than they do from the road. Students plant and make art for the gardens. Staff members maintain them in the summer.

Read all about some of the best venues in the area in this week’s edition of Southwest Saturday – arriving on the doorsteps of every house in Jordan, Belle Plaine, Shakopee and Chaska.

Dangerous driving continues to riseCompared to last year, the number of traffi c accidents in Jordan

this year is high.Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz’s May police report shows:� 54 accidents involving property damage;� four involving personal injuries;� and six at the intersection of highways 169 and 282.In the fi rst fi ve months of last year, there were:� 27 accidents involving property damage;� three involving personal injuries;� and two at the intersection of highways 169 and 282.Compiled by Mathias Baden

Everything impacts town’s crime rateOn Monday, June 20, Jordan City Councilmember Tanya Velishek

asked Police Chief Bob Malz a question without a concrete answer.“Is there a theory why crime is up?” Velishek asked.“I could say a number of things,” Malz said, “but I don’t have

anything to back it up.”Calls for service have increased with Jordan’s population

growth.Crime prevention efforts could be increased, Malz said, but there’s

no way to minimize calls for service. Councilmember Thom Boncher asked if the chief has noticed any

change in the age group causing residents’ calls to police. Then, Malz directly addressed the school board decision to get rid of a chemical dependency counselor position and the city/school decision to cut Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), which was run by a school resource offi cer.

In the past, with the addition of an offi cer dedicated to the schools, “we made strides in our juvenile crime rate,” Malz said.

If you cut cops positions, Malz said, the crime rate will increase.

“Everything has an impact,” he said.Compiled by Mathias Baden

100 block of S. Broadway St. re-ported a gas drive-off in the amount of $50. The license plate information given by the business was not on fi le, therefore the registered owner was unable to be located.

The suspects involved in Wednesday’s burglary-turned-manhunt in Spring Lake Township both have extensive criminal histories.

William Thomas Benjamin II, 35, of Minneapolis, and Jason Bradley Phyle, 28, of St. Paul, are in custody at the Scott County jail. Both were charged last Friday morning with first-degree burglary, charges that carry a manda-tory minimum of six months in prison; the maximum sen-tence is 20 years.

Both Benjamin and Phyle have a long list of criminal convictions, ranging from burglary to drug possession to assault to fl eeing police.

Benjamin’s criminal past is the most extensive. He has 20 convictions in fi ve different counties since 1996. Among them are several convictions for theft, receiving stolen prop-erty, f leeing police, assault and malicious punishment of a child.

Phyle’s history includes three burglary convictions in Hennepin County and two convictions for fl eeing police in Hennepin and Anoka coun-ties. He also has convictions for assault and drug posses-sion, dating back to 2004.

THE HUNT

About 7:30 a.m. last Wednes-day, a woman at a home in the

16800 block of Marschall Road (County Road 17) called 911 to report that a person was try-ing to enter the home. When a Scott County deputy arrived at the home, he spotted one of the suspects, who fl ed on foot. The deputy also noted a pickup truck was backed up to a detached garage near the house.

Soon after the deputy began to chase the man, another of-fi cer noticed a vehicle fl eeing the scene toward Spring Lake Estates, a residential area just across Marschall Road. A canine unit eventually located Benjamin attempting to hide in a tree in a wooded area off 165th Street. He surrendered when police ordered him to come down, said Capt. Jeff Swedin of the Scott County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Area police and tactical teams, the county sheriff’s of-fi ce, state troopers, metro-area canine units and offi cials from the Department of Natural Resources and Three Rivers Park District spent more than four hours trying to track down Phyle.

At about 12:10 p.m., police spotted Phyle paddling a small boat on Campbell Lake, about 400 yards from the home where the burglary occurred, Swe-din said. A Minnesota State Patrol helicopter hovered over Phyle, who had jumped out of the boat and started swimming. Phyle reached the north shore of the lake and

disappeared into the reeds. Phyle was quickly arrested by another Scott County deputy, who was near the area where Phyle had run.

The woman was the only person home at the time of the burglary; she was not harmed. She told 911 operators that the doorbell rang at 7:20 a.m. and she saw a man and heard him say, “Hello. Is anyone there?” She did not answer, and ran upstairs to call 911. She then heard pounding on the door from the garage to the house. She also said she heard someone run through the house when the fi rst deputy arrived.

The woman said she also thought someone had picked up the downstairs telephone while she was talking to the 911 operator; a deputy later found the downstairs tele-phone off the hook.

Offi cers found tool marks and signs of forced entry on the outside service door of the ga-rage and on the door between the garage and the inside of the house. A top drawer of a fi ling cabinet in the basement also was found open.

CRIMINAL PASTS

Both Benjamin and Phyle have leng thy histories of criminal convictions, rang-ing from burglary to drug possession to assault to fl eeing police.

Benjamin’s criminal past is the most extensive. He has 20 convictions in five different counties since 1996.

Among them are several convictions for theft, receiving stolen property, fl eeing police, assault and malicious punish-ment of a child.

Phyle’s history includes three burglary convictions in Hennepin County and two convictions for f leeing po-lice in Hennepin and Anoka counties.

He also has convictions for assault and drug possession, dating back to 2004.

SPRING LAKE TOWNSHIP

BRIEFS

Fuel freeloaders try to steal in Jordan

Through May, Jordan police have responded to an increased number of gas drive-offs. This year, 17 people have been caught allegedly stealing gas. Eleven calls came in May.

In 2010, four similar cases occurred during the fi rst fi ve months of the year.

Also, according to Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz’s monthly police report to the city council:

� 29 incidents of alleged damage to property occurred, up from 16 during the same months last year;

� disorderly conduct is up – 11 this year (fi ve in May), nine (zero last May) last year;

� juvenile offenses are down – nine this year, 17 last year;

� lost-and-found activity is up – 37 instances this year (10 in May), 25 last year;

� medical assists are up – 98 this year (27 in May), 69 last year;

� suspicious activity is up – 80 instances this year (22 in May), 40 last year;

� and vehicle complaints are up – 130 this year, 103 last year.


Spear incident does not make event list

Chief Bob Malz’s list of Jordan Police Department events for May included offi cer attendance at a class in the “power of perception,” the National Day of Prayer, Taser instruction, report-writing class, the Memorial Day parade, and more.

B u t J o r d a n C i t y C o u n c i l m e m b e r T h o m Boncher questioned why an incident involving a man being arrested for trying to scare his alleged assailant with a spear didn’t make the list.

Malz typically does not include incident reports in his list of events; the department submits a list of incidents to the Jordan Independent. He said he wouldn’t want to leave out incidents about which “seven different people” – members of the council – would’ve liked to know.

C o u n c i l m e m b e r J o e Thill told the chief that the event list, which is included with Malz’s monthly police statistics repor t to t he council, shouldn’t be an “event of the month.”

“ I t ’s r e f r e s h i n g t o see something positive,” C o u n c i l m e m b e r S a l l y Schultz agreed.

Are you tired of your neigh-bor’s unkempt lot? The Jordan City Council is, too.

One call to the cop shop can get someone out to mow before the grass reseeds itself.

City lawnmowing of over-grown properties has begun, and Jordan is covering its staff-ing costs with an additional administrative fee.

When the city contracted Sno-Mow Services, councilmembers mentioned that they could saddle homeowners with a penalty that is higher than the cost of the cut. On June 20, the council approved an additional $25 fee for each infraction.

Residents who don’t keep up their lawns will pay:

� $50 for the fi rst offense;� $75 for the second;� and $125 for the third.Developers whose properties

require a rough cut will pay:� $80 for the fi rst offense;� $105 for the second;� and $155 for the third.

“We only had a few repeat,” Jordan Police Chief Bob Malz said. “I mean, once we charged them, most of them straight-ened up.”

No one has been charged for a third offense, Malz said.

Last and this year, the coun-cil directed the police chief to enforce the lawn ordinance based on complaints, as well as the properties that obvi-ously have not been mowed at all.

“The marginal ones” will be left alone, Malz said.

Sno-Mow Services of Farm-ington charges $25 per cut for normal residential lots and $55 per cut for rough-cut builder lots.

Last year, a different city contractor mowed 40 lots at $40 a lot, according to Malz. All but one of the property owners paid for the mowing the city ordered, and the fi nal one was certifi ed to the owners’ property taxes.

There was no city markup on the contractor’s fee last year.

Officers used a ResQ Disc – one of several such gadgets recently purchased by the de-partment for water rescues – to pull her to safety.

The disc fl ies like a Frisbee, but it fl oats, has rope attached, and can be grasped by a person while being pulled to safety.

The disc was thrown up cur-rent, then fl oated down to the swimmer. She grabbed on and was pulled to shore. She didn’t require medical attention, ac-cording to a police document.

The teen told police she went in the water and was immedi-ately taken out by the current, according to the document.

The next day, the log was still sitting on top of the wa-terfall, although it had been swept somewhat to the far side of the creek.

Police said they frequently get calls about youths swim-ming above the waterfall – as many as one call a week. Swim-ming there is prohibited by the

city, but it’s not diffi cult to spot swimmers above the falls, or even jumping off.

“We had a ‘no swimming’ sign posted, and someone stole the sign and the post,” said Jor-dan Police Chief Bob Malz.

A new sign and post has been ordered, but hasn’t arrived yet, he said.

July is Fan Appreciation month for Brewers fans

On the heels of Jordan Baseball Day, which took place last Sunday, the Jor-dan Brewers are set to kick off their fan appreciation month.

Through the month of July, the Brewers want to re-ward their faithful fans and attract new fans to come to the Mini-Met to watch some baseball.

There will be free ad-mission dates, free conces-sions and prize giveaways throughout the month of July.

No admission wil l be charged for Monday through Thursday games in July. This excludes a playoff game, should one land on a week-day because the team is re-quired to split the gate with the opposing team.

In addition to free admis-sion on those weeknight games, the Brewers will no longer charge an admis-sion price for anyone who is younger than 21 years old. This is a permanent change for all games.

“We want the young crowd at our games too, so we’re going to make it easier for them to choose to stop at the ballpark,” manager Jason Chalupsky said. “Now it’s free. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

There are eight chances in July to get to a home Brewers game.

The Coors Light Classic is a three-day event that goes July 8 to 10 when the Brewers will offer several concession deals, including special pric-ing on beverages. There will be prize giveaways through-out the weekend.

This year’s tournament will feature teams from Blue Earth, St. Louis Park and Sauk Rapids.

Starting with the July 14 game, fans who arrive before the end of the first inning will receive a freebie ticket at the gate. The ticket is worth a free item from the conces-sion stand that same night, starting in the fi fth inning.

“Each game, we’ll offer a different thing,” John Bre-unig said. “It’s not secret that we would like to see the fans show up for the game and stick around for a while. The fi rst- to fi fth-inning freebie is just a little encouragement.”

A sign will be posted at the entry to the ballpark to let fans know what will be given away at the game each night. On July 14, the Brewers host Green Isle. Everyone gets in free and those who arrive be-fore the end of the fi rst inning will receive a free hot dog.

With a 19-4 record, the Brewers head into July, the heart of the summer, with a plan to treat baseball fans to some exciting baseball.

Look forward to a head-fi rst slide into home plate, a diving catch in left fi eld, a two-hopper off the wall, a shutout pitching perfor-mance, a shot hit up the right-fi eld line, a bang-bang double play and free hot dogs, ice cream, peanuts, candy, beverages, popcorn – and once in a while leave that wallet in the pocket and come on in for free.

It’s not just fan apprecia-tion night; it’s fan apprecia-tion month.

Revamped Coors Light Classic this weekendBY TODD ABELN

[email protected]

With a 19-5 record, the Jordan Brew-ers are sitting pretty as they head into a week long layoff before the Coors Light Classic.

Even with the good feelings of a re-cord 14 games above .500, Jordan lost its last game before the break.

Jordan traveled to Chaska Athletic Park last Thursday night to take on the Cubs and came home licking their wounds after an 8-0 loss.

The Brewers didn’t help themselves out at all as they committed fi ve errors in the loss.

“I have pretty much forgotten about the Chaska game already,” manager Ja-son Chalupsky said. “It was a tough loss, but it just so happened that we were do for a clunker. It’s just too bad it happened against Chaska. Five errors against a very good team isn’t going to win you too many games. It’s like I told the guys after the game, chalk this up as an off night and move on. We are a very good team and this one game doesn’t match up with how we have played all year long.”

Scott Hollingsworth took the loss for the Brewers despite not giving up an earned run in his fi ve innings of work.

Hollingsworth gave up fi ve hits and fi ve unearned runs before leaving for Mike Beckius.

Beckius gave up three runs in one inning of work.

The Cubs Ryan Seifert kept Jordan off the board for seven innings to earn the win.

Jordan collected only seven hits with Trent Simek getting two of those.

GREAT SEASON

With a 19-5 record, things are going really well for the Brewers so far this season.

That’s a far cry from the struggles that they have suffered through the last two seasons.

The last two seasons, Jordan has struggled to score runs, which kept their record right around .500 for most of the seasons.

This year, minus the Cubs game, Jordan has been able to score runs and play very good baseball.

“This year has been pretty fun in the sense of winning a lot of games, but it has also been fun because there is such a good group of guys in this dugout,” Chalupsky said. “We are winning because we are having fun and just playing baseball. I think in the past couple years we were just not gelling and having fun, but this year its just the complete opposite and when you’re having fun with everyone on the team it makes it that much easier to pick up the slack for a guy that’s having an off night. I believe that has been the key to this year’s team. When one or two guys are having an off night we have two or three guys stepping up on pick-ing up the slack. It has been pretty fun to watch.”

So far this season, Jordan is batting .307 as a team with Simek and Steven Beckman leading the way batting .415 each. Other top averages on the team are Scott Breimhorst’s .409, Adam Frey’s .373, Adam Kalal’s .364, Alex Beckman’s .353, Tim Garnhardt’s .344, Cullen Bahn’s .333, and Mitch Ries’ .311.

Kalal leads the team in runs, RBI, hits and stolen bases.

TOURNAMENT WEEKEND

It’s a big weekend for the Brewers as they host the new and improved Coors Light Classic.

The Brewers along with the Shako-pee Indians will host the tournament together at the Mini-Met and Shakopee’s Joe Schleper Stadium.

Jordan will play three games at the Mini-Met against St. Louis Park, Blue Earth and Sauk Rapids. Shakopee will host games against St. Michael, Moor-head and Cold Spring.

Those games will take place Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday, the two pools will play each other depending on the stand-ings.

ALL-STARS

Infi elder Alex Beckman and pitcher Scott Hollingsworth have been se-lected to River Valley League All-Star team.

The River Valley League All-Star team will take on the Dakota-Rice-Scott All-Stars on July 8 at 8 p.m. at Union Hill.

ST. BENEDICT BASEBALL

Saints win three games to get back in divisional raceThe St. Benedict Saints are playing

good baseball. The team won all three of their

games last weekend to close the defi cit in their divisional race to just a half-game.

The team started their run with a had-to-see-it-to-believe-it 10-9 11 in-ning win at Faribault.

St. Benedict survived a pair of two-run home runs and were led by Jordan Kivel and Scott Eischens with three hits each.

Jeremy Heitkamp picked up the win in relief working six innings. Steve Weiers stranded the bases

loaded to earn the save. On Saturday the team thumped

Webster 15-0. Weiers and Aaron Althoff combined

on the three-hit shutout. Dave Sherry went 3-for-3 with fi ve RBI. Weiers and Michael Pauly had two hits apiece.

The Saints hosted New Prague on Sunday in front of a good-sized holiday weekend crowd.

Eischens broke a 4-4 tie with a thun-derous three-run homerun toward the top of the trees in left-center.

The blast proved to be the even-tual game-winner in support of Jacob Wolf who went the distance earning

his fi fth win. Wolf struck out 10 and was aided by strong defensive plays from Sherry, Brendan Heitkamp, and Kivel.

The successful weekend has the team at 12-9 overall and 11-6 in league play.

St. Benedict hosts Belle Plaine on Saturday in a non-league game. The game is Hog Roast Day at St. Benedict with 2 p.m. game time in what should be a fun day at the ballpark.

On Sunday, the team travels to Montgomery at 1 p.m. to fi nish a sus-pended game with the Mallards.

The previous meeting was sus-

pended with the game tied at 9-9 in the 11th inning.

St. Benedict also plays Sunday night at Veseli at 7:30 p.m.

ALL-STARS

The St. Benedict Saints are sending three representatives to the Dakota-Rice-Scott/River Valley League All-Star game this Friday night at Union Hill.

First baseman/outfielder David Sherry, centefi elder/pitcher Jeremy Heitkamp and manager Wade Olsen will represent the Saints at the All-Star game.

Sherry is hitting .360 this season with two home runs, eight doubles, and a team-leading 21 RBI. He primar-ily plays fi rst base and is one of the most feared hitters in the DRS.

Heitkamp is hitting .303 with a team-leading .521 on base percent-age. He has eight stolen bases. Heit-kamp also has three wins on the mound and is second on the team in innings pitched.

Olsen is in his fourth year as manager of St. Benedict. He will co-manage the all-star game with Tom Popp of Lonsdale and Monty Hennen of St. Patrick.

It’s playoff time and Jordan American Legion Post No. 3 got off to a good start.

Post No. 3 opened the League ‘A’ playoffs with a 7-6 win against Norwood-Young America at the Mini-Met.

Jordan trailed for most of the game before scoring three times in the bottom of the fourth to grab a 6-5 lead.

Post No. 3 trailed 2-0, 3-1 and 5-3 before taking the lead in the fourth.

Micah Hennen continued his power streak as he hit a two-run home run in the win. He has hit three home runs in three straight games.

Tanner Oakes pitched another complete game to earn the win and improve to 6-0 on the season. Oakes has six complete games on the season.

Jordan travels to Watertown tonight to take on the top seeded team in the playoffs.

Jordan needs to win one of its next three games to advance to the Third District Tournament in Cannon Falls.

WRAP UP

The Jordan American Legion team wrapped up its regular season schedule by winning two more games.

Jordan ended the regular season with a 5-4 win against Ely on Saturday at the Mini-Met.

Post No. 3 needed a late rally to over-come Ely’s quick start.

Ely scored three fi rst inning runs off of starter Adam Althoff to grab a 3-0 lead.

Jordan cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the fi rst on Hennen’s fourth home run of the summer.

Althoff settled down and threw five scoreless innings the rest of the way to keep Jordan within striking distance.

In the bottom of the sixth, Jordan scored three times to take a 5-4 lead.

Dillon Lee came on in the seventh and got the save but not before giving up a run and leaving the bases loaded when Tanner Oakes caught a screaming line drive at shortstop.

Post No. 3 and Ely met on Friday night, also, but that game was called after four innings because of rain and will not be made up.

FINAL LEAGUE

Jordan wrapped up its league schedule with a 6-1 win against Montgomery on Wednesday, June 30 at the Mini-Met.

Oakes earned his fi fth win of the season by giving up just one run on six hits.

Oakes fi nished the regular season 5-0 with fi ve complete games.

With the score tied at 1-1, Jordan scored two runs in the fourth, a run in the fi fth and two more in the sixth.

Hennen hit a two-run home run in the

sixth to put the game away for Post No. 3.That win gave Jordan a 10-6 record in

the league and tied for fourth place.Watertown and Le Sueur tied for fi rst

with a 11-5 record. Belle Plaine was third at 10-5 with Jordan and Norwood-Young America tied for fourth.

LEGION NOTES� Hennen’s fi ve home runs are the most

home runs by a Legion player in a single season since Tyler Oakes hit six home runs in 2005. The 2011 team count of fi ve home runs is the most since the 2007 team hit eight home runs.

� Leading hitters for Post No. 3 in the regular season are Oakes (.444), Hennen (.362) and Zach Bares (.333). Oakes (16) leads in runs scored followed by Nick Heit-kamp (14) and Micah Hennen (13). Oakes and Hennen lead in RBI with 13 followed by Dillon Lee (9).

� Last week, in a 10-0 win at Sibley East, Jordan Legion Post No. 3 won its 200th game since 2004. That is the 200th win since the coaching combination of Ron Beckman and Todd Oakes became involved in the Legion program in 2004. Beckman and Oakes have been joined by a number of other coaches over that time span including Gary and Jer-emy Kalal, Steve Riesgraf, Brad Heitkamp, Dan Ebneter, Alex and Steven Beckman, Tyler and TJ Oakes. This collection of coaches, along with continuous groups of committed and quality ball players, have put together a record of 202-47-1 in eight seasons. That includes a regular season record of 111-32-1 and a post season record of 91-15.

� First and second round League play-off games were played at high seeds on Tuesday night and tonight (Thursday). Norwood will host all League A playoff games this weekend. Five of the 9 teams will qualify for the Third District Tourna-ment being held in Cannon Falls on July 16-17 and 22-23-24.

� Best State Tournament Teams — Boys and Girls

� Best State Tournament Players — Boys and Girls

Honoring a friend’s memory is a big reason Kevin Knox is pouring time and energy to save Minnesota Harvest. John “Topper” Sponsel passed away in 2006, and in recent years the orchard’s future has been in question.

ORCHARD� continued from page 1

“We’ve started a massive cleanup. The property was sold to developers. All the trees were going to get bowled over and they were going to put houses up here.”

Kevin KnoxLongtime friend of John “Topper” Sponsel

John “Topper” Sponsel wrote a children’s book that bears the title of this banner, seen on the entrance road to Minnesota Harvest. Sponsel left 11 children’s books unpublished.

Sponsel developed four new varieties of apples during his lifetime – Golden Earl, Austin Apple, London Apple and Sponselli.

Work is underway to make sure people will be able to con-tinue making new memories there this year.

Topper’s longtime friend Kevin Knox, Topper’s sister Su-san Kelly, and Knox’s friend, con-tractor Kevin Breeggemann, are trying to honor the memory of Topper and get the orchard back to a state that was “heaven on Earth,” for Topper, said Knox.

“He was the orchard. He was Minnesota Harvest,” Knox said.

They have a three year ex-tension on the lease there, and have started an investment management company that will have an apple-themed name.

“We have three years to re-turn it to its glory,” Knox said.

Last year it was a different story, when trees were being sold from the orchard and its future was more uncertain.

However, Knox said few trees were sold.

“We’ve started a massive cleanup. The property was sold to developers. All the trees were going to get bowled over and they were going to put houses up here,” Knox said.

In mid-winter, though, work started to renew grounds that now show their age.

Extensive building renova-tions are starting this month, with plans to offer full service weddings, entertainment, and other activities at the orchard.

There’s also a hope that the orchard will again take on the feel of a park, Knox said.

The orchard offi cially opens Aug. 1, though visitors can call if they want to visit earlier. You-pick apple harvesting will start late August into Septem-ber, Knox said.

The list of tasks to accom-plish before then is long. And it’s been an emotional ride for those close to the orchard, who remember Topper as a man who genuinely cared about the indi-viduals he met, and apples.

Knox said people often tell him how they visited the or-chard as children and now have children of their own.

“I have people that call me in tears thanking us that we’re going to continue this,” Knox said.

This spring, they held a Blessings of the Blossoms event with the Rev. Steve Thompson

from Hope Lutheran Church in Jordan, which featured music and the blessing. That event, in part, was meant to honor the memory of Topper.

“Topper used to say that this is really heaven on Earth,” Knox said.

Besides running an orchard, Topper was a man of many talents, including an author of children’s books. He left 11 of them unpublished.

Topper was a story teller, and a man who strove to treat everyone like a friend, Knox said. Topper and others would sit around the fi re telling sto-ries or hatching new ideas.

The fi res at Minnesota Har-vest lately have been of the more furious variety – burning trimmed branches from that massive cleanup, trying to save an orchard loved by so many.

“I saw what the meaning of Minnesota Harvest really is,” Knox said. “And the meaning is family.”

“The project could poten-tially have a senior housing, public library, clinic, phar-macy and other retail facili-ties on the site.

“SCCDA is committed to moving forward with the senior living project with or without a clinic or a library. Expected construction for the senior living faci lity would begin in April 2012 with the project being com-pleted by late next year or early 2013.

“St. Francis would like to be under construction with a clinic yet this summer but at this time they are not certain if they want to be part of the SCCDA’s project or located on another site.”

Cities within Scott County own their library buildings, while the county library sys-tem operates them.

In 2005, the library board threatened to close the Jor-dan library by fall of 2006 if the city council didn’t make progress on building a larger facility. But eventually, the county board took over as the library board, and the threat dissipated.

In 2007, the council called the library its No. 1 priority, along with several other capi-tal improvement projects.

Talks heated up during the last election but had largely cooled.

This summer’s meeting, which is open to public atten-dance, is scheduled to take place at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3, at the Jordan Govern-ment Center, 210 E. First St.

Competition in nearby towns like Belle Plaine, New Prague and Shakopee was listed, and HMI argued in the document that the demand for a local hotel exists.

Jordan is looking for a pri-vately fi nanced development. Shortly after releasing the hotel market study, the coun-cil turned away a proposal for a hotel that would’ve required tax-increment fi-nancing.

The EDA, an advisory commission to the council that also has its own taxing authority and budget, paid $6,000 for the initial study and would cover the cost of the next study.

Shukle suggested the 2009 study be updated in a memo-randum to the council, some of which said:

“Since the information in that report is over 2 years old, the EDA and staff believe that it is important to keep the data current. By having current data in place, the city will be in a better position to market the community for a hotel development project.”

During a council meeting

Tuesday, in response to a line of questioning from Coun-cilmember Thom Boncher, Shukle defended the contin-ued use of HMI.

The study the company provided was accurate, infor-mative and valuable to devel-opers, the city administrator said.

“It’s based on trust and credibility in the industry” that the city continues to use HMI.

“I appreciate your insight and trust your judgment,” Councilmember Joe Thill told Shukle.

Jordan is likely to update the study every couple years, until a hotel is developed.

Handy students save school money

Students in a careers and technical education class at Jordan High School helped design and build electrical wiring training boards.

They’ll be used as part of the trades curriculum at the school.

Instead of purchasing pre-fabricated units that included high shipping costs, class members decided to design and build their own. This en-abled the school to maximize the dollars received from a federal Perkins Grant. The trades class at the high school applied for and received $1,720 in grant money for the project components and materials.

All components were pur-chased locally from Jordan Ace Hardware and Siwek Lumber.

The unit provides students with a hands-on opportunity to develop an understanding of basic home wiring and repair skills.

SOOTHING A SCHOOL HEADACHE

BRIEFS


Why have one exit when you can have two? Student dropoff and pickup at Jordan Middle School has long been a problem because of confl icts between buses and parents who dropped off or picked up students in the lot. Now, work is under way to have a separate exit for buses, one for parents, and a shared entrance. The work required the removal of a few trees, and piggybacked on the city’s overhaul of Sunset Drive. The end cost to the district is projected to be $15,000.

Lions’ Project New Hope supports veterans who return to ‘new normal’

It has been the custom of the Eye columnist to take a brief sabbatical in July of each year. However, Lions never seem to take vacations, sabbaticals or respites, so I am breaking from my customary ways and focusing this week’s column on a very important Lions project – Project New Hope.

The mission of Project New Hope is to provide all combat veterans and their families the education, training and skills at a retreat in a relaxed rural setting that elevates their ability to manage life experiences.

Project New Hope is free to soldiers and their families. No one is turned away. The camp locations are rural, pristine and private for a relaxed environment. Sessions are based on the veterans need and pace. Childcare is provided, so couples can focus on session time. All licensed professional counselors are volunteer and available 24/7.

Why do Lions feel a need for this project?

� 50 percent of the more than 1.6 million troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have been deployed twice or more.

� Two of every three veterans that require some

form of help are not getting or seeking help.

� Suicide rates for veterans ages 20-24 are 400 percent greater than their civilian counterparts.

� A recent military study shows that 75 percent of all suicides are the result of a failed relationship once the soldier returns home.

� The number of veterans who have died by suicide is higher than the number of combat veterans killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

� Statistics say every 40 minutes a soldier tries to commit suicide. Every 80 minutes a soldier commits suicide.

� Many veterans may be in denial or not recognize issues resulting from their time of

service. Family members can be encouraging and supportive in seeking help for themselves and their soldier. They come home to “normal” life – that is often a “new normal.”

Although many of these statistics are based on Iraq and Afghanistan soldiers, this program is available for all veterans, including Korean and Vietnam veterans.

Please share this information with family members, clergy, medical providers, counselors, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), et cetera, and help Lions spread the word to our veterans who may be suffering. For more information on Project New Hope go to, projectnewhope.net.

After celebrating our many freedoms on the Fourth of July and throughout this month, remember these veterans and their families. Thank them and let them know the Project New Hope cares how they are adjusting to their new normal.

Awesome bathroom upgrades for less than $200

REAL ESTATE SHOWCASEREAL ESTATE SHOWCASE

A beautiful bathroom can be uplifting on many levels: it improves your home’s resale value and provides you with a

welcoming environment in one of the most-used rooms of your house. If your bathroom has become the room in the house you least want to visit, it may be time to consider some cost-effective upgrades.

A mid-range bathroom remodel can cost, on average, around $16,000 (and return 64 percent of that cost at the time of resale), according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2011 Cost vs. Value Report. You don’t have to spend thousands, how-ever, to give your bathroom a fresh look. Here are some high-impact, awesome upgrades that you can accomplish for less than $200 each:

Work those wallsPaint is still the cheapest, easiest way to freshen a room’s look and that’s true even in the bath-room. While painting a bath can be a bit more complicated than other rooms because of obstructions like mirrors, showers and tubs, it’s still a project well within the abilities of most do-it-yourself types. Good paint can be had for as little as $25, and most bathrooms will only need a gallon or two.

Once you’ve repainted, consider adding a wall-paper mural. You’ve probably always thought adding wallpaper in a bath was risky, given the room’s usual humidity. But modern wallpaper options, like SmartStick by MuralsYourWay.com, can easily hold up to bathroom conditions. A patented adhesive allows you to easily place the material on nearly any surface—walls, windows, that architectural niche above your bathtub—pull it down, reposition it, and even move the moisture resistant mural to a different wall. You can even customize with your own wall photo by using your own original photography. Submit your photo through the website and the company creates a custom mural using your artwork.

Lighten upLighting is another low-cost way to renovate a bathroom. If your bathroom sports a utilitarian overhead fi xture, or a dressing-room-style light bar above the mirror, you can create a whole new look for the room by replacing those lights with one—or more—contemporary styles.

Because our bathrooms serve several functions, bathroom lighting should be fl exible too. Design pros often place more than one light source in bathrooms, even if the room is relatively small.

Adding a couple of wall sconces in addition to a main light source costs little but allows you to lower lighting in the bathroom when you’re in the mood for relaxation. And a strong, overhead light source provides practical illumination for putting on make-up or shaving for example. It’s easy to fi nd cost-effective lighting options at your local home improvement store.

Little things mean a lotYou can also make several small changes in a bath that will have a big impact, from swapping out cabinet hardware to replacing an existing straight shower rod with a curved one. Depend-ing on which projects you choose, you could accomplish several for less than $200 total.

Other small but mighty steps include:

Replacing dated faucets.

Installing a new showerhead or hand-held showerhead.

Swapping the old toilet seat for a new one.

Replacing accessory hardware like towel bars and robe hooks with newer, matching ones.

Choosing coordinating bath accessories such as a cup and toothbrush holder.

Adding new towels and bath mats.

When it comes to upgrading the bathroom, virtually any improvement has value, both in terms of enjoyment and resale. Fortunately, value doesn’t have to come at a high cost when you make simple, cost-effective improvements.
