The NRHEG High School Band had its annual Indoor Marching Band concert on Monday, November 19 and Tuesday, November 20 in New Richland. The concert began at 7:30 p.m. with the doors opening for the public at 7.
This year, the school made an exective decision to host the concert two nights, due to how popular it has been in the previous years. The concert was a success again this year with two bleachers filled both nights.
This year’s theme included songs from the movie The Phantom of the Opera.
The first group to perform was the jazz band, which performed four songs. They played songs such as “That’s How We Roll” and “Gospel John.”

We've done the turkey bit for Thanksgiving and it was traditionally good to please the appetite, but just around the corner is another tradition. The annual Wild Game Feed to be exact.
This year it will be held in Geneva this Saturday, December 1.
This annual event is held under a heated tent in the parking lot at Geneva Bar & Grill. It draws sportsmen and women, as well as those who don't hunt, to partake of the wide array of food prepared from wild game donated by many of the local hunters.
This event started 25 years ago when Judy Thompson suggested that "her men" empty the freezer of wild game they had shot. The wild game was prepared and served in hopes of raising funds for the cancer cause

The word — aneurysm.
It is not a nice word, considering what it entails. Many of us may know what it means, and less of us might know how to spell it.
It is a hard word to spell and it is hard to think what it would be like to experience it, and then live with the condition.
Webster's Dictionary will define it as a dilation of a section of an artery due to a weakness of the artery wall, often resulting eventually in hemorrhage.
To Lucille and John Nechanicky, it is much more than that.
