The New Richland City Council held its second meeting of March Monday evening. The meeting began early, and those interested were given a short tour of the new fire department building at 6:15. The meeting was then called to order, and all members were present.
The agenda was approved, then the consent agenda, with slight adjustments.
Before the reports were presented, the Council reviewed Resolution No. 14-07, which will set a date for a hearing on Jones, Haugh and Smith’s proposed assessment prepared after receipt of the acceptable bid for the upcoming improvements of 3rd Street/County Road 12. They agreed to decide the date of the hearing at the next council meeting.
The Care Center report was up first. The hiring of an interim MDS Coordinator was approved, and it was explained that said person will be employed at the Care Center for one to two months at $90/hour.

NRHEG Board of Education
By REED WALLER

Discussion was heavy at NRHEG’s March board meeting Monday, March 17, as members considered some complicated issues.
The issue of school hours for last Wednesday’s Girls Basketball Tournament opener was dealt with quickly. It was approved to make March 19 a non-student day. Employees were required to work, attend the game in supervisory capacity, or take the day off.
iPads vs 2-in-1
Currently the district has a blend of iPad 1’s and 2’s at both locations. The plan is to have iPad 2’s in grades 1-9, and have a cart of 30 for Kindergarten use. The iPad 1’s could be passed to the band department, and repurposed as music display devices, cutting down the need for sheet music and books.

Panthers return to state finals
NRHEG senior guard Carlie Wagner further established herself in the state girls’ basketball record book.
Her 41 points in Friday night's state semifinal 87-58 victory solidified her mark as the top scoring player in state tournament history. She has scored 335 points so far in this tournament and that surpasses the 329 points that Janet Karvonen of New York Mills scored in four consecutive tournaments from 1977 through 1980. Wagner began her tournament scoring spree in the 2012 state tournament.

Wagner, Panthers break records in state opener
NRHEG's Carlie Wagner goes to the hoop for two of her single-game state tournament record 53 points during the Panthers' 100-68 victory over Pequot Lakes in the opening round of the Minnesota State Girls' Basketball Tournament Wednesday at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis. Wagner broke her own state record set last year. The Panthers' 100 points are also a tournament record — breaking the old mark set in 1984 — and the two teams' 168 points were a record. The Panthers advanced to face Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted in the semifinals Friday at 6 p.m. at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. Also pictured above: the Panthers' Jade Schultz and Pequot Lakes' Katie White (22) and Vanessa Lane (11). If the Panthers win Friday, they'll play for the state championship Saturday at 2 p.m. at Williams Arena. If they lose Friday, they play for third place Saturday at noon at Concordia University in St. Paul. (Star Eagle photo by Jim Lutgens)
