Love that lasts: Longtime couples share stories, advice

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

If newlyweds are in need of some advice, they can surely find it at Good Life Senior Living in Hugo. Three couples are represented there by a cumulative total of 178 years of marriage experience.

Their love stories are inspiring not only to their families, but also to Good Life Activities Director Sarah Cairins, who gets emotional when she talks about these successful couples.

“They have inspired me to find the perfect relationship. I have never been married, but they have taught me to never settle,” she said.

Bob & Marilyn Rosenquist Bob and Marilyn Rosenquist have lived in Hugo since 1972. Marilyn originally hails from Two Harbors, Bob from St. Paul.

“I came to the cities to work, and then I met him and ended up staying here,” Marilyn explained. “I talked my friend from Two Harbors into coming down for a job, and we found an ad in the paper for (a) Girl Friday. I sent my friend over there and she met Bob, but she had (already) met her husband so

she was not interested in Bob.” Feb. 10 marked the couple’s 58th wedding anniversary. Bob worked for a construction company for many years while Marilyn did clerical work. Marilyn then chose to stay home and take care of their two children.

Bob said his favorite thing about their relationship is that they have always spent a lot of time together.

“She wanted to be a part of the things I was doing, and I wanted to be a part of the things she was doing,” he said.

Even now, Bob makes sure to stop

by Good Life on a daily basis to visit his sweetheart, who lives at the new facility situated along Forest Boulevard in Hugo.

Marilyn said her favorite thing about Bob is his intelligence. “He is smart. When I want to know something, I always go to him,” she said.

The Rosenquists have many fond memories of traveling and exploring new places together and with their children and grandchildren.

Bob said if he could give newlyweds

advice, it would be to go to church.

“Once our kids started getting boyfriends and girlfriends, I always told them to go to church ... I think religion secures a family,” he said. “I’ve also learned after 58 years that you can’t train your wife.”

William & Maggie Snyder William and Maggie Snyder are from White Bear Lake. They have been married for 62 years.

Maggie said the two met each other many moons ago while she was working in a drugstore. “He stopped in and had a Coke,” she recalled. The two dated for about a year before they got married.

William worked at an oil refinery in Saint Paul Park for many years while Maggie worked as a health aide at an SEE SENIOR SWEETHEARTS, PAGE 9

LINO LAKES — Nearly 100 residents packed City Hall Jan. 28 to learn more about the proposed Birch Street improvements slated for construction in 2021.

Anoka County hosted its second open house for the project on Jan. 28. Around 130 people attended the county’s fi rst open house for the project back in October. At the time, the county proposed to build two roundabouts along the corridor, one at West Shadow Lake Drive and the other at Tomahawk Trail. A raised median throughout the project was also proposed.

In December, the county revealed it was considering adding a third roundabout to the design at the intersection of Old Birch Street and Birch Street. At the most recent open house, the county shared three options it is considering with residents.

“I think it (the open house) went really well. I think the public had time to digest the information that was shared at the fi rst open house and then we were able to respond and provide comments and answers to a lot of the questions that came up,” said Transportation Division Manager/County Engineer Joe MacPherson. “I think overall, a lot of residents understood a little more. We provided more information regarding how we got to this point, why we think it is a valid alternative to consider roundabouts versus signals. The residents understand the safety benefits of a roundabout.”

The fi rst option is the one that the county revealed at the fi rst open house (roundabouts at West Shadow Lake Drive and Tomahawk Trail). The second option was the proposal discussed in December that incorporates three roundabouts (West Shadow Lake Drive, Tomahawk Trail and Old Birch Street). The third option, which MacPherson said is the one the county is leaning toward right now, includes roundabouts

Health officials: Coronavirus poses ‘low immediate risk’ to Minnesotans, but state prepared to respond 2019-nCoV, more widely known as coronavirus, has not yet made its way to Minnesota, but state health officials say that should that change any time soon, they are prepared to deal with it “While what we know today about this virus and other viruses from the same family suggests that this is really a low immediate risk for the general public, we, of course, consider any new infectious disease a serious concern and we’re taking precautions,” said Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Commissioner Jan Malcolm in a recent news conference.

The term “coronavirus” applies to a large family of viruses, which are estimated to cause approximately one-third of all cases of the common cold. The strand associated with this recent outbreak, 2019-nCoV, is a viral respiratory illness caused by a member of the coronavirus family and has not been previously seen in humans before.

While it is unknown exactly how 2019-nCoV spreads, Malcolm said that health officials have learned “a great deal” from previous outbreaks of other coronaviruses, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus in 2012.

“We know that finding cases quickly and responding to them quickly is so very key. That rapid response helps ensure that the ill persons receive the care that they need, and it lessens the chance of other people getting sick, thereby containing the spread of the virus,” Malcom said.

With similar viruses, person-to-person spread occurs primarily through close contact, when an infected person coughs or sneezes, thereby spreading respiratory droplets. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of nearby persons, or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), it is currently unclear if a

person can get 2019-nCoV by touching a surface or object infected with the virus and then touching their own mouth, nose or eyes.

Minnesota has a “very strong” disease surveillance system in place, according to Malcolm. Health care providers across the state have been alerted to contact MDH if a patient with recent travel history to Wuhan, China displays respiratory symptoms. At that point, MDH will collect laboratory samples and submit them to CDC in Atlanta for confirmatory testing.

As of Feb. 7, three samples had been sent to CDC for testing. Two came back negative, and the results of the third are pending.

The primary symptoms of 2019-nCoV include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Given that, and the fact that Minnesota is in the midst of cold and flu season, it is difficult to distinguish between novel coronavirus and another more common respiratory illness.

“This means it’s quite possible that many ill people will get tested but turn out not to have novel coronavirus but rather influenza or some other infection,” Malcolm said. “Quite frankly, that what we would like to see. We would rather err on the side of caution and be testing a lot of folks who turn out not to have novel coronavirus.”

Minnesota is not among the states receiving travelers from areas of China most closely associated with the novel coronavirus outbreak, but Malcolm said it is possible that one or more cases of the virus could be confirmed in the state, especially if humanto-human transmission becomes more common.

In the meantime, Malcolm recommended that Minnesotans follow everyday actions to prevent the spread of coronavirus and other respiratory illnesses.

“The best recommendation we can give, quite frankly, is to take the same general precautions that we always recommend for avoiding colds and flu,”

With the news of the coronavirus coming out of China and now cascading into a world health threat, many are wondering if dogs and cats can get the virus and if it's transferable to humans.

Dr. Graham Brayshaw, chief veterinarian at Animal Humane Society, says "Both dogs and cats have the ability to contract a coronavirus but they can only get a species-specific version of the disease. It cannot be transferred from animals to humans.”

Dr. Brayshaw added that coronavirus is rarely fatal to dogs and cats. Most cats carry the virus, but it usually remains dormant.

Dogs can get it from one another.

Coronavirus symptoms in cats are typically similar to an upper respiratory infection or kitty cold. In dogs, it involves gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea. Many times the virus is mistaken for a simple upper respiratory illness or stomach issues.

Like other canine and feline viruses, coronavirus is treated with medication and supportive care.

Local love stories

I

t’s true, I am a hopeless romantic. I live for flowers just because and adore romantic comedies. Every year when Valentine’s Day rolls around, I set out to find a good feature story about area residents that I think our readers might find interesting.

Last year, I heard about two Hugo residents, John and Robin Udstuen, who had been married for 35 years. I knew Out and it was a story I had to cover when I About heard John mention that Robin was Shannon his first and only Granholm girlfriend. You just don’t hear stories like that anymore.

This year, I was able to track down two very different stories for the holiday. The first story, which starts on the front page, is about three couples who have been married for well over five decades.

I had so much fun spending time with each of them and learning about how they met, what their lives have been like and why their marriages have worked for so long.

As a person who has only been married for almost five years, I was eager to ask them about advice they would give to young couples.

One common theme I heard I was to make sure you spend time together. In today’s society, we often get so consumed in our own busy worlds that we forget to pause and make time for one another.

The other story I wrote is about a Centerville couple who has been married for almost a year and a half. I found out about them at a Lino City Council meeting back in October, when they were officially hired as paid-on-call firefighters.

The fact that they had the same last name caught my attention.

I thought it was interesting that they both joined the same fire department and wanted to know more about that.

The other day when I sat down with them, I quickly found out that this isn’t the only endeavor they have done together. They are also both nursing students at Century College and work as EMTs at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. I would imagine that studying together and working together at multiple jobs would be more than enough to drive any couple crazy, but they love it and continue to make a great team.

I’m sure there are many more couples out there in our communities who have stories worth telling in honor of Valentine’s Day. If you know of one, feel free to let us know about it and perhaps we can pursue it next year.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Shannon is the lead editor at Press Publications.

‘A mighty political experiment’ turns a century old

O

n Feb. 14, 1920, Carrie Chapman Catt launched the League of Women Voters at the final meeting of the National American Woman Suffrage Association: “The spirit of this new crusade will travel from state to state, from city to city … a nationwide campaign against the world’s oldest enemy, ignorance.”

The Minneapolis Tribune called this meeting “the most important ever held by women in the United States.”

In the words of the Minnesota League’s fi rst president, Clara Ueland, this “mighty political experiment” would transform fledgling women voters into educated, fully engaged Movers & political actors.

The League of Shakers Women Voters began as a grassroots Joan Hillebrand organization sponsoring voter Neumiller education and i t ti campaigns and registration emphasizing consensual decision making. By 1924, leagues covered over 80% of congressional districts, and Minnesota women were early and eager participants. Minnesota suffrage societies counted 30,000plus women members in 1919, the year the state legislature enacted presidential suffrage and the Minnesota LWV was born. A year later, Minnesota ratified the 19th Amendment, and 87 South St.

region, sent delegations to the United Nations and hosted international citizen groups. In the last two years, the LWV-WBLA has moderated dozens of candidate events and held public forums on gerrymandering, the 2020 census and the history of Minnesota women’s suffrage.

2020 will see public forums on the new presidential primary and precinct caucuses, the media’s role in elections, redistricting and Metropolitan Council governance.

Fall 2020 brings more candidate forums and voter registration events at Century College and area high schools.

It may have begun as an experiment, but the League of Women Voters is increasingly relevant today, due in part to its proud adherence to nonpartisanship. LWV neither supports nor opposes candidates or political parties at any level of government, always working on vital issues of public concern and providing a meeting ground for citizens of all political leanings. We need organizations like the LWV now more than ever to remind citizens of the tremendous power of informed individuals. This power is essential to the success of our democracy today and into the future.

Joan Hillebrand Neumiller is LWV-WBLA Vice President and Publicity Director.

Paul women became the fi rst fully franchised female voters in the U.S. by voting on a water bill.

Throughout its history, the LWV has met the changing needs of our democracy without losing focus on voting rights and political education. In Minnesota, early members worked to create a better life for families, sponsoring legislation to benefit mothers and children and expand opportunities for women in public life. Leagues opened citizenship schools for local women, an enterprise continued today through voter registration efforts and free public forums.

Leagues also publish pamphlets containing information about community and government leaders and conduct studies on important problems such as money in elections, waste management, affordable housing, and immigration.

The LWV has been in the greater White Bear Lake area since the 1930s, when local women organized around a common desire to be better informed voters. This organization grew over time to include the surrounding communities of North Oaks, Mahtomedi, Arden Hills, Shoreview and the St. Croix Valley.

The LWV of White Bear Lake Area now serves 32 communities, three school districts and three counties.

The LWV-WBLA has a strong record of civic engagement, conducting studies of civics education, domestic violence, campaign finance and water quality.

Fatal crashes involving drivers who test positive for marijuana increase use is now legal in 11 states and Washington, D.C. The latest AAA Foundation research found that between 2008 and 2012 — the five-year period before the drug was legal — an estimated 8.8% of Washington drivers involved in fatal crashes tested positive for THC. That rate rose to 18% between 2013 and 2017.

The average number of THC-positive drivers increased, too. In the five years before legalization, an average of 56 drivers involved in fatal crashes each year were THC-

COMMUNITY BRIEF Masons now accepting fundraising applications The Forest Lake Masons are now accepting applications from charitable organizations to participate in one of the three community support fundraising events planned for 2020. The Masons have had a long history of fundraising through pancake breakfasts held to benefit cancer research, youth programs and local families in need. Historically, donations have been in between $1,000 to $6,000 per event.

Organizations from Forest Lake and surrounding areas can fill out an application by emailing the lodge at ForestLakeMasons@gmail.com. They may also download an online application from forestlakemasons.com. All applications must be received by March 1.

positive. In the five years after legalization, the average jumped to 130. The new numbers bolster the findings of a similar report the AAA Foundation released in 2016. The study did not attempt to determine if marijuana contributed to the crashes included in its latest research.

It focused only on the prevalence of drivers who tested positive for active THC. “This study enabled us to review a full 10 years’ worth of data about the potential impact of marijuana on driving safety — and it raises significant concerns,” said Dr. David Yang, executive director of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. “Results from the analysis suggest that legalization of recreational use of marijuana may increase the rate of THC-positive drivers involved in fatal

crashes.”

Marijuana use can inhibit concentration, slow reaction times and cloud judgment.

Its effects vary by individual, but a number of studies have concluded that marijuana use impairs the ability to drive safely. Previous research suggests that users who drive high are up to twice as likely to be involved in a crash.

Eleven states and Washington, D.C. have legalized marijuana for both recreational and medical use. Another 22 states have legalized it for medical use only. State legislative sessions for 2020 are getting underway and recreational use is expected to be a popular topic. The legislative interest combined with likely November ballot measures could result

In last week’s staff column, Publisher Carter Johnson shared information for what to do if you are selected for jury duty in Ramsey County. Here is some information for Anoka County.

Potential jurors are randomly selected from driver’s license, state identification (ID), and voter registration records.

Jurors receive a summons that tells them to appear at the courthouse for jury service. The length of jury service depends on the county in which a juror lives, but service cannot exceed four months.

If you are summoned for service, you will become a member of a jury and take an oath before hearing the case.

Palmer is a neutered 6-year-old, 40-pound Australian cattle dog and blue heeler mix. He is house-trained and crate-trained. You may notice that his face is a little crooked. That is because he was hit by a car as a young puppy, an incident from which he is now completely healed. Despite his breed characteristics, Palmer loves to be lazy.

He could lay on the couch all day with his favorite people. Palmer enjoys going on a good walk, listening to the latest gossip and taking a spin in the car. He

likes to play with toys and does well with kids.

He is best described as affectionate, intelligent, gentle, goofy and eager to please. Palmer is an only-pup kind of dog, but with some training and proper introductions he could potentially do well with other pups.

use and behavioral and physiological evidence of driver impairment.

Regardless of the drug’s legal status and limits in any state, all motorists need to avoid driving while impaired.

“Simply put, if you’ve used marijuana, don’t drive,” said Jake Nelson, AAA’s director of traffic safety advocacy and research. “And if you plan to drive, don’t use marijuana.”

Last year, a Foundation survey found that nearly 70% of Americans think it’s unlikely a driver will get caught by police for driving shortly after using marijuana. The survey also revealed that an estimated 14.8 million drivers report getting behind the wheel within one hour after using marijuana in the past 30 days.

in additional states taking a hard look the issue.

In an attempt to curtail drug-impaired driving, seven states have set legal non-zero, or “per se,” limits on the amount of THC drivers can have in their system. While this is well-intended, AAA believes imposing such limits is problematic for three reasons: no data reliably shows what level of THC impairs driving, the chemical’s effects vary by user, and THC testing often cannot be done until hours after a crash.

AAA believes that states that have legalized the drug should not rely solely on an arbitrary legal limit to determine if a driver is impaired. They should adopt a twopronged approach that requires a positive test for recent marijuana

How you get selected Each year, the Minnesota

Judicial Branch obtains names from a list of licensed drivers, state identification card holders, and registered voters residing in your county and compiles that information into a source list.

The names of deceased persons, provided by the Department of Health, are removed from the source list. From that list, individuals are randomly selected by computer.

Juror qualification questionnaire Minnesota citizens who receive a summons for jury service are required by law to complete a juror qualification questionnaire and return it to the court within ten (10) days from receipt of a summons for qualification determination.

Completing the juror qualification questionnaire accurately and completely will help the courts determine if

you are qualified to serve as a juror. It is important that the records regarding your name and address are accurate and up to date. Please remember to include any changes in your personal information when completing your questionnaire.

Any incorrect information may cause delays in receiving important jury notices or your payment after you complete your jury service.

The website jury.courts.state. mn.us/login allows you to respond to your summons for jury service online. It also allows you to make changes, request a postponement and update your contact information. If you do not wish to use the website, you should tear off, complete, sign and mail your paper juror qualification questionnaire to the court in the envelope provided with the jury summons.

COUNTY BRIEF Anoka County offers grant opportunities Anoka County Public Health is offering an opportunity for neighborhoods and community organizations to submit project proposals for Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) funding. The funding, which will be awarded in the form of “mini grants” of up to $3,000 per project proposal, is to increase sustainable opportunities for social connectedness through healthy eating, physical activity and reducing commercial tobacco use in communities. Examples of projects this funding could be used for include starting a community garden, organizing a bike share program or offering tobacco-free/vaping-free resources and support. Entities applying for these grants do not need to be registered organizations, but they should be consistent, sustainable groups within a neighborhood or community.

Applications will be accepted until March 31. More information on the grants can be found online at

anokacounty.us/3820/Neighborhood-Mini-Grant.

Those who receive the funding will be notified April 15; the project funding period is May 1 to Oct. 31.

Questions about the grants can be directed to SHIP@co.anoka.mn.us or 763-324-4344.

A concerning number of Washington state drivers involved in fatal crashes are testing positive for recent use of marijuana, according to new research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

The share of drivers who, after a fatal crash, tested positive for active THC — the drug’s main psychoactive ingredient — has doubled since the state legalized marijuana in December 2012. AAA believes the increase raises important traffic safety concerns for drivers across the country, as recreational marijuana

Centennial Dance Team is section champ in Jazz, Kick Centennial Dance Team swept the Jazz and HighKick championships at Section 3AAA on Saturday, advancing to state for the sixth straight year in Kick and fourth straight in Jazz.

The state meet will be held Friday and Saturday at the Target Center.

In sectionals at Bloomington Kennedy, the top three in Kick were Centennial, Spring Lake Park and Henry Sibley, and the top three in Jazz were Centennial, Spring Lake Park and Mounds View.

Three teams advance.

“The dance team program has grown in numbers

and talent every season for the last five years,” continues to improve and excel because of the culture created on the team, and “From middle school to high school all athletes are ‘all in.’ The team sets goals and expectations and each member does their part to contribute.”

Centennial’s Kick performance, Austin said, was a Dream Girls mix with a music theatre style. The CDT got a perfect rank of 4 from the judges for high energy and precision. In Jazz, they danced to “This is Where We Come Alive” and again had a perfect rank of 4 in recognition of difficult choreography and execution of

turns, leaps and jumps.

Centennial has 14 dancers and two managers in Jazz, and 32 dancers and two managers in Kick. The roster has 55 dancers in all.

Team captains are Mackenzie Callahan, Kilyn McClellan, Cecillia Sanvick, Bryanna Lackner, Clare Littlefield and Sophia Taylor.

Prior to the sectionals, Centennial placed third among 14 teams in the Northwest Suburban Conference.

SENIOR SWEETHEARTS: ‘Yes, dear’ key to success FROM PAGE 1

elementary school in Newport. They have three sons and, now, many grandchildren.

When asked why they think they have made it to 62 years and counting, Maggie simply responded, “I don’t know.” William said, “We have had a good marriage, and we didn’t fight too much. We have never thought about getting separated or divorced. We get along fairly well.”

Bob’s favorite thing about Maggie is the fact that she is a “really good cook.”

Maggie said her favorite thing about Bob is that “he likes to eat.”

Some of their favorite memories are traveling together and with their children. Bob’s advice to newlyweds is to spend time together. “Take vacations. Getting away once in a while means a lot.”

Stan & Marietta Wilson physical. You have to like the person to be able to get along with them and laugh with them.

Without that, it is tough to make a marriage last more than a few years,” he said.

For her part, Good Life’s Cairins is determined to keep searching.

“You don’t hear of relationships today like they were back then.

About a month ago, a gentleman made an inappropriate comment to me, and I was just thinking that these guys would never say something like that to their wives. I am not settling until I fi nd my gentleman.”

High school sweethearts Stan and Marietta Wilson are from Minneapolis.

They have been married for 58 years.

“She tried to get away from me, but I got her. I had to fight off all the competition, but I got her,” Stan said chuckling.

“She is not just my wife; she is my life.”

Stan worked at Honeywell while Marietta stayed home to “take care of me and the (two) kids,” Stan said. Like the other couples, the Wilsons cherish their memories of traveling.

Stan says there are three phrases newlyweds should remember, “Yes, dear,” “You are right, dear,” and “I love you.”

“You have to have mutual friendship and respect,” he said. The one thing Stan really likes about Marietta is the fact that she has always been really easy to get along with. Marietta simply said, “I’m happy with him.”

Stan has some more advice, too. “You have to like each other, it can’t just be

The history of Presidents' Day Celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, Presidents' Day honors all U.S. presidents. The origins of the holiday lie in the 1880s, when George Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, was celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved several federal holidays to Mondays in order to give workers a number of long weekends throughout the year. During the debate on the bill, it was proposed that Washington's Birthday be renamed President's Day to likewise honor Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday was Feb. 12.

Living ‘regular lives,’ they serve

Centerville residents Alex and Kylie Haffke spend more time with each other than most married couples do. In addition to both working for the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department as paid-on-call firefighters, they attend nursing school together and both work as EMTs in the University of Minnesota Medical Center.

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

A couple that studies, works and volunteers together stays together.

Centerville residents Alex and Kylie Haffke spend more time with each other than most married couples do. They have been married since October 2018. “Aside from being married, we are best friends,” Kylie explained.

The two met while attending the University of Nebraska. Kylie studied hospitality, restaurant and tourism management, and Alex studied nutrition science.

Right out of school, Kylie worked as a wedding planner and quickly learned that career was not for her.

Alex was working in clinical research and wasn’t quite sure what direction he should go, but knew he wanted to be in health care. When Kylie met Alex, he was studying to be an EMT.

“He would talk about medical stuff, and I had no idea what he was talking about. We had just started dating, so I wanted to research what he was talking about so I sounded cool,” Kylie recalled. “The more he talked about it, the more it started becoming interesting to me and I started to understand more and think this was cool.”

The Haffkes originally joined a fi re department in Nebraska for the medical side of things but quickly developed a passion for fi re calls, too. That is why when they decided to move to Minnesota and were looking for a house, one of the couple’s top priorities was living in a community that had a paid-on-call fi re department.

Last June, they started the hiring process to become fi refighters with the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department.

“It is a really cool experience to be

able to live regular lives but stop what you are doing and help out when you are home and available,” Alex said.

Kylie added, “It makes you feel a lot more involved in your community.

It is a very proud thing to be able to say that you are able to help out your community.”

They both currently work as EMTs at the University of Minnesota Medical Center while attending nursing school at Century College.

After they graduate in December, they plan to become ER nurses. Alex is also an artillery officer with the Minnesota Army National Guard.

“We work really well together. We have a really good communication style,” Kylie said. “I know how he works and how he thinks. I’ve noticed (that) when we work together at our job in the ER it runs really smooth,

and then sometimes when we don’t work together, it’s just different.”

Alex added, “It also really helps for those 2 a.m. calls. We get to help each other get out of the house as fast as we can. One person will grab the keys for the car while the other person grabs the radios and that really speeds up the process ... I definitely am the fi rst one to wake up, but Kylie is the fi rst one to get in the car.”

The Haffkes are still considered “probationary fi refighters” in Lino Lakes as they are taking the required classes before they can enter burning buildings. For now, they are enjoying making a difference on medical calls and crash scenes.

BIRCH STREET: Nearly 100 residents learn more about improvements FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED

One option Anoka County is considering for the Birch Street corridor incorporates three roundabouts (West Shadow Lake Drive, Tomahawk Trail and Old Birch Street).

at West Shadow Lake Drive and Tomahawk Trail.

The project would terminate just east of the West Shadow Lake Drive roundabout. The county could then consider another phase of the project in the future.

MacPherson said one thing was clear from this open house: residents want to see safety improvements made along the corridor, but they may disagree on how to achieve that. The county received positive and negative comments on all three options but, in general, a lot of residents didn’t care for the fi rst option discussed at the fi rst open house.

“There was no way for residents on either side of that median to make a safe U-turn to go back the other direction,” MacPherson explained. “We did provide some left-turn lanes along the median, but it would be really difficult to provide every single staggered access a left turn just because of the way the accesses exist today: they don’t line up with each other.”

A lot of residents wanted to understand how roundabouts work and had specific questions about how they would impact their travel, MacPherson said. The county plans to beef up the information it has available about roundabouts on its website.

“Anoka County has always been cognizant of the fact that we are not in a box here. When we design projects, it affects everyone that uses the road, so we want to know what the opinions are, what the concerns are, what people’s comfort level

is with the particular alternative,” MacPherson said. “These open houses really provide us an opportunity to get feedback from public and to give good information to the public so they are not hearing it second hand.”

City Council members asked questions about the project and weighed in the options at the Feb. 3 work session. Mayor Rob Rafferty said he is not convinced that the county should pursue the threeroundabout option. “At the end of the day, we are trying to solve a problem for the residents. Safety is fi rst, that is key,” he said. “We have to do our best to come up with solutions that we can all work with.”

The council is supportive of improvements to Birch Street but has not yet determined which option it would like to see implemented.

SUBMITTED

Birch Street is scheduled to be reconstructed to address corridor needs by improving mobility and safety along the segment. Multiple design options were considered during the planning process. A divided two-lane roadway with roundabouts, center median and access controls is deemed to be the most safe, efficient and cost-effective option.

Currently about 12,000 vehicles use this segment, which is expected to grow to 14,0000 by 2040.

Council members requested some additional cost information for each of the options and will discuss the topic again at their March work session. The county will continue with the design process and start to fi nalize plans, right of way acquisitions and permitting. The plan is still on schedule to begin construction in spring 2021.

A Sunday morning snowfall totaled anywhere from 4-5 inches here in the northern metro; our first snowfall of the month and first shovelable snowfall since a January 21-22 snowfall. It was a bit treacherous driving for a while Sunday but the snow was low in water content and easy to shovel. The sun managed to come out later in the afternoon and it turned out to be a pleasant day. Speaking of the sun it has been out in abundance this month as compared to January. We’re in store for a brief cold snap but temperatures are expected to rebound quickly for a mild weekend ahead.

Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces.

Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable.

A recent survey from the online home design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update.

In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining.

While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much square-footage is present.

Revamp a garage or shed Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate and backyard guests need to seek shelter. Wall art, curtains, a pendant light, and some comfortable outdoor-compatible furniture can quickly transform a space.

Create a relaxing nook Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat.

Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true three-season room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer.

Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.
