Ellendale musician releases second CD
MUSIC MAN — Matt Arthur of Ellendale was born blind, but that hasn’t stopped him from succeeding in the world. He recently released his second gospel music CD, “Heavy on my Mind.” (Star Eagle photo by Kathy Paulsen)

Matt Arthur is often seen making his way around Ellendale. He carries a white stick and, for those who don't know, yes, he is blind.
He is blind. But no one said he couldn't see.
Matt probably “sees” more than many of us, as he assumes his life by seeing without eyesight. He has vision, probably because he had parents who had the "sight" to see and trust their child just like the rest of the kids.
There was no, "Poor Matt,” but more, "Matt you can do this," and he did and still does. He listens to and hears what is going on. He takes part in many community events and affairs that many don't even think about.

Ellendale native David Bunn hired as high school principal

New principal hired
At a special meeting of the NRHEG school board Monday, March 25, a two-year contract was approved for David Bunn, who will be replacing the retiring Paul Cyr as high school principal this coming year.
Bunn has spent the past five years as high school principal at Prescott, Wis., where he was instrumental in implementing programs such as Response to Intervention and PBIS, as well as an iPad initiative.
It only remains to find a superintendent, and quickly.
Superintendent search
With Superintendent Kevin Wellen’s contract expiring on June 30, and time to look for a replacement growing very short, last week the NRHEG board arranged a meeting with a consultant from South Central Services Cooperative to see if it might be a better idea to have them facilitate the search, than have to undertake the time consuming process without help. NRHEG is a member of SCSC and contracts their services annually.
