Rolly poly no more

Sand Creek is rolly poly no more. The recent drastic snowmelt has swelled the normally tame creek into a rushing river. On Monday, Gov. Tim Pawlenty declared a state of emergency in Scott and other counties. (Photo by Katrina Styx)

Commuters of Scott County rejoice! After years of delays, funding is
in place to fix the traffic-clogged intersection of Highway 169 and
Interstate 494.

The regional Transportation Advisory Board on Wednesday gave the green light by voting for a funding package that includes the final $34 million needed to make the redesign happen. 

"This concludes a year-long battle and debate that led to great success," announced Scott County Commissioner Jon Ulrich of Savage in an e-mail to community leaders. 


Will history be made on Friday?

Friday the Jordan boys basketball team takes on Blue Earth for the section 2AA championship. The game takes place in the Taylor Center in Mankato at 8:00 p.m.

A win would send the Hubmen to their first ever trip to the state tournament. Jordan has come close several times, but has never quite made it.

Jordan has already defeated Blue Earth at Blue Earth in overtime this year. Which in my opinion would make Jordan a very slight favorite to win the game.

In other conference news Sibley East defeated Mayer Lutheran for the right to play in the section 5AA championship.
