While I no longer work for the City of Clarkfield, I still care for the community and I want to see the community grow and thrive in the future. To that end, I have decided to share some of my thoughts on future ways to enhance and better the community of Clarkfield.
Punxsutawney Phil made his appearance last Thursday and predicted six more weeks of winter. The annual hoopla surrounding the Groundhog Day tradition seemed to pass with little enthusiasm locally. We are probably all ready for the snow melt to begin.
Kindling of a Kind January means colder weather which means we get to set things on fire! Okay. Best fire practices include a fire pit or, in my case, a fireplace.

Question: I was wondering if you are stopped at a stop light in the left turn lane and an emergency vehicle with lights and sirens come in behind you (either in the turn lane or the lane to your right), what is the proper procedure? Thank you!

Unless otherwise directed by law enforcemement.
I know we have a lot of snow chances yet this season, but I think a lot of people have had some spring fever over the past several days with the warmer air that has moved-in across the Upper Midwest. There was a lot of melting going on over the weekend and for the start of this week as well.
