road. You should be able to moveover and let the vehicle pass and notrun off the road.”
But residents felt it was too muchmoney for not much change. FredSchafer said traffic isn’t an issue.
“I drove that road for 45 or 50years. There’s no reason you have toworry about meeting anybody be-cause nobody hardly uses that road,”he said. “I don’t know why they wantto spend even a nickel on that road.”
Marie Gohman said she drove outto the area and stayed awhile andnever saw another vehicle. Sheagreed, however, that a few improve-ments could be made for visibility.But not at such a cost.
“Maybe we need to make somecorners safe,” she said. “But to taketwo-thirds of our road money.....”
Tim Mol said he doesn’t live inthe township but uses the road withhis farm machinery up to 400 times ayear. He said his issue isn’t the speed,but the tight hairpin turns where hecan’t see other vehicles approaching.
“It’s a safety issue,” he said.Township Attorney Mike Couri
said it’s common for people not towant to spend money on a road whereno one lives. But once it has beenidentified as a safety issue, the town-
ship could be liable.“When you know you have a
road that is not a safe road, my advice
is if you can get it done at a reason-able price, do it, because you’re goingto have to do it at some point in time,”
he said. “As soon as you have an ac-cident, you run the risk of being suedover something we knew was a prob-lem but chose not to do anythingabout it.”
Blayne Leuthard said there had tobe cheaper alternatives. He saidspending $200,000 on two spots was
just too much. He felt the board couldscale back the project.
Supervisor Scott Miller agreed.he said the township could probablycut back some of the hills to improvevisibility at a much lower cost.
But Supervisor Bill Langen-bacher said a big part of the project in-
volves cooperation by the DNR, whohas given the township permission touse 15,000 yards of fill on their landat no cost. He said if the boardchanged the project, the DNR wouldrequire a whole new set of engineeredplans.
Supervisor Dan Mol said plan-ning for the project began in 2013,and the township has put in a lot of time and resources to get to this point.
“I know we’re not going to makeeverybody happy, but there are peoplethat would like to see the projectdone,” he said.
He mentioned M&M Bus Com-pany that uses the road every day of the school year.
“Those are your kids and grand-kids on that bus,” he said.
John Notsch said he has beenagainst the project for the past yearand a half and felt there had to be an
alternative to spending over$200,000.
“There’s been no accidentsthere, ever,” he said.
After more debate, Langenbacherread a statement he had written abouthis experience with the project. he aidhe has been on the board four just fourmonths, but he wasn’t about to sec-ond-guess the decisions made so far.And he believed there was a safetyissue on the road.
“A good amount of time effortand money has been spent to deter-mine this is a viable project,” he said.“We have engineered plans and spec-
ifications designed to reduce safety is-sues. We have acquired wetlandcredits. We have negotiated with theDNR and have permission to use15,000 yards of fill dirt worth$20,000. I think the project should goahead.”
A few people in the crowd felt itshould be up to the residents to decidehow the money was used. But Super-visor Mol said it was up to the electedofficials.
“The town board is responsible tomake these decisions,” he aid.
When a vote was taken, Mol andLangenbacher voted in favor of awarding the bid to New Look Con-tracting. Miller voted against.
The project is expected to beginin May.
Lynden Township’s recent meet-ing was packed with resolutions, or-dinances, water and property issues,along with a host of other items.
Feb. Monthly MeetingResolution No. 2016-02 and Or-
dinance No 2016-01 were briefly dis-cussed. Supervisor Jerry Finch madea motion to approve Resolution No.2016-02, a Resolution adopting an In-terim Ordinance enacting a morato-rium on the establishment of commercial kennels within LyndenTownship, which passed.
Finch next made a motion to ap-prove Ordinance No 2016-01, an In-terim Ordinance Enacting aMoratorium on the Establishment of Commercial Kennels within LyndenTownship, which also passed.
The Town Officers Association of Stearns County adopted a Resolutionof Revocation of County Highways toTownships Nov. 8, 2015, and is re-questing townships support their de-cision. After a brief discussion, Finchmade a motion to approve ResolutionNo. 2016-04, a Resolution for theStearns County Board of Commis-sioners to Receive Township Ap-proval for County Roads to be TurnedBack to Townships, which waspassed.
The board heard back fromStearns County regarding the Bouskarezoning request. They consider it a
minor plat and have approved the re-zoning. Because the rezoning willonly create one additional buildingsite, the board had previously deter-mined it didn’t need to go through theplanning commission and the requestwas passed.
The township received an inquiryregarding building on the Alecksonproperty that was recently rezoned tocorrectly reflect it as industrial. Be-cause this is a former dumpsite,
Stearns County Environmental Serv-ices Department (SCES) SupervisorAngie Berg indicated developmentwouldn’t be allowed until it could bedetermined what is actually buried onthe site. Doing so will be the respon-sibility of the property owner, whowill need to conduct field tests alongwith a representative from StearnsCounty Solid Waste.
Adam Krone approached theboard indicating he is interested inpurchasing property within the town-ship and has questions regarding thesplitting of said property. The boardreferred Krone to SCES and the plan-ning commission.
Rick Lange from Tire Solutionsapproached the board with a roughplan requesting to expand his currentbuilding to be no more than 40,000square feet total. The board referredLange to Nancy Scott of All Spec.
Jeff Haag from the Grass LakeAssociation presented a petitionsigned by 17 residents requesting thenew ‘No Parking’ signs on AlderRoad be moved from the east side of the road to the west side. ResidentsBarry Seguin and Cameron Liebrenzapproached the board objecting to thesigns being moved. The petition wastabled until the March meeting inorder for the board to look into the is-sues more thoroughly.
March Monthly MeetingFinch has been in contact with
Stearns County Soil and Water regard-ing drainage issues on Alder Road.
They are evaluating the situation andwill be making proposals. Because of this, Finch recommended any deci-sions concerning the placement of the‘No Parking’ signs on the road be de-ferred until after SCSW has reviewedthe situation. A discussion with AlderRoad meeting attendees followed. Su-pervisor Dave Johnson made a motionto table the petition until after SCSWhas finished their investigation, whichpassed.
Resident Mike Johnson gave theboard an update on his concerns aboutthe water quality in his vicinity. TheMinnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) has been in contact with himand has taken 14 random water sam-ples from around the area. They willevaluate the data and respond accord-ingly.
The board relayed that the condi-tional use permit to operate a com-mercial kennel had been revoked fromValorie LaBeau, owner of Tails of Gold Kennel. They are working on aproposed plan for placement of theanimals, which will be reviewed at theApril meeting.
Realtor Jenna Potter and propertyowner Kari Hanson presented theboard with a petition to vacate a road,an agreement to pay any costs in-curred, a waiver of damages and a$1,000 escrow deposit. An old road
has been found on her property andsurvey work indicated that althoughthe road has been vacated, there are norecords reflecting it.
Supervisor Anne Ackerman madea motion to approve Resolution 2016-06, a Resolution accepting the petitionand setting a public hearing for March21, which was passed.
The township received an emailfrom Princeton Township regardingthe support of annexation legislationthat would restore power betweentownships and cities in annexationmatters. Finch indicated he would fol-low up on the issue.
Karolyn Boucher resigned as ed-itor of the township’s newsletter, andstated that she also intends to resignfrom the deputy clerk position after areplacement has been found. She will,however, continue as web administra-tor.
The tax equalization meeting dateis set for May 5, and the planningcommission is scheduled to meet onMarch 28.

Alex Johnson and Thornand when they did, Johnsonand Thorn were swarmedunder and had to kick theball back out. The perimetershooters didn’t have muchluck either as each time theball got to their hands, aWinhawk was immediatelyin their face, contesting the
shot or pass.Amanda Lindsay hadtwo field goals and oneconverted free throw in thefirst 18 minutes, but wasshut out the rest of the wayas she finished with sixpoints.

Three dancers makeall-state for Becker
The Minnesota Associ-ation of Dance Teams
(MADT) held their annualAll-State Dance perform-ances at Shakopee HighSchool March 12 and theBecker Dazzlers danceteam had three girls partici-pating.
Coaches from memberschools are able to nomi-nate up to four athletesfrom their team — two inJazz and two in Kick.
Nominated fromBecker this year wereMikayla Henkemeyer andMorgan Meyer in Kick and
Cienna Pleoger and MelodySwanson in Jazz. Henke-meyer, Pleoger and Meyerwere selected to participate.
Along with their nomi-nation forms, coaches arerequired to send in video of each athlete from one of theseasons competitions. Apanel of MADT coaches re-views each video and selec-tions are made for eachclass.

In Class A there were29 athletes chosen for theKick division, while 26were chosen for Jazz.
In Class AA — whichBecker competes — therewere 42 chosen for Kickand 38 for Jazz.
In the largest class,AAA, 47 were chosen forKick and 45 were chosenfor Jazz.
“It was awesome to seeso many different teamsrepresented,” said BeckerCoach Nadia Fischer-
Danzeisen. “I thought wewere fortunate to have three
of our athletes chosen asmany teams only had twoand a few only one.”
Approximately twoweeks prior to all- state
event, the chosen athletesare sent a video of two rou-tines they must learn. Onthe morning of the compe-tition, all the athletes fromthe state are put into forma-tion and they begin to builda routine that they will per-form that evening in frontof a packed house.
“This is such an out-standing opportunity forour team members,” saidBecker Coach Julie Baloun.“Just a few weeks ago thegirls participating from ourteam were attending thestate tournament as specta-tors. They watched many of
these all-state athletes com-pete and now they findthemselves dancing rightnext to them.”
Baloun says it is such a
confidence boost and greatvalidation that hard workhas paid off.
“It was a very rich andfulfilling experience,”Baloun said. “Dancing onthe floor with all of theseamazing dancers in front of such a supportive crowdwas so much fun.”
“I am so grateful forthe opportunity to representthe Becker dance teamalong with Mikayla and Ci-enna,” said sophomoreMorgan Meyer.
This was the secondyear senior Mikayla Henke-meyer has been selected for
All-State.“It's always fun getting
to meet dancers from otherteams that we don't usuallyget to see during the sea-
son,” she said. “I just feel solucky that I was able to ex-perience this event my lasttwo years of dance team.”
“Overall, I thoughteveryone did a great joband it was really special towatch our senior dance onelast time,” said Fischer-Danzeisen “Everyone onour team is so happy for ourlone senior.”
“All-State is such agreat way for her to end herhigh school dance team ca-reer,” said Baloun. “It was
also a great opportunity foreighth grader CiennaPleoger.”
Pleoger was thrilled tobe a part of this end-of-the-year adventure.
“I thought it was agreat experience and hope Iwill get the chance to goagain,” she said. “I thankmy coaches for the nomina-tion and congratulate myother teammates who werealso selected.”
Baloun said the all-state performances are anice way to end one seasonand start looking forward tothe next.
“I encourage anyonewho has not been to an all-state performance to go andwatch,” she said. “It is sofun to see some of the bestathletes in this sport per-forming all together. We areso proud of our athletes!They represented Beckerwell and did an awesome
job.”The Becker Dazzlers
