Volunteers available Nov. 13 to assist those wishing to change Medicare plans

During this time, you can enroll in a plan if you did not previously enroll or change to a new plan. Changes then become effective on January 1, 2013.

Five NRHEG individuals took high hopes to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul for the Minnesota State High School Wrestling Tournament last weekend.
One brought home the glory.
Dustin Esplan surprised many — including himself — by winning the Class A bronze medal at 119 pounds.
“Dustin Esplan had a fabulous tournament, with the exception of his first-round match,” said Cyr. “He rebounded with four straight wins, three of which were against guys higher than him in the rankings.”
After being edged 9-8 by Justin Doerr of Lewiston-Altura/Rushford-Peterson — who went on finish sixth — Esplan went to work in the wrestlebacks, where he defeated Morgan Straton of Benson 12-3, Tanner Mills of Kimball Area 4-2 and Taner Trembley of Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial to reach the third-place bout. There, he upended Hayden Rouser of Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City 4-2 in overtime. Rouser had pinned Esplan in the Hutchinson tournament finals in January.
Esplan, a junior, finished the season with a 33-8 record.
