It appears the City of New Richland has met the legal requirements to implement its citywide garbage collection plan.
Whether or not it should be done, and how it should be carried out, are what remain in question.
Some local residents feel so strongly about the issue and how it has been handled that they’ve started a petition at the suggestion of a city council member at its most recent meeting. They plan to gather as many signatures as possible and take the petition to the Jan. 28 council meeting.
The group has taken out an advertisement in the Jan. 10 edition of the Star Eagle to let people know.
The ad states: “A large number of residents have expressed their concern and opposition over and over with the NR City Council’s decision to go ahead with an agreement with Waste Management and Thompson Sanitation for mandatory garbage service to all residential homes in New Richland. There are many one and two member households who have a cheaper means of garbage disposal and recycling or may have access to a dumpster through their business.

Kulseth rolls rare 300 game at Trapper’s Lanes

“There comes a time when all the cosmic tumblers have clicked into place — and the universe opens itself up for a few seconds to show you what’s possible.”
Author Terrance Mann first penned those words, made famous in the timeless 1989 movie Field of Dreams.
For Paul Kulseth, those words became reality on Wednesday, Nov. 28.
The 56-year-old Kulseth, owner of a career average in the upper 180s, rolled a perfect 300 game during the Wednesday Nite League at Trapper's Lanes in New Richland.
"Everything was right," said Kulseth of Waseca. "Every ball I threw was just spot on. It was wonderful."
It also came as a big surprise. Kulseth, who bowls in one other league in New Richand, brought in a 198 average. He flirted with 300 before, rolling 279 about 10 years ago, but, considering his age, Kulseth knew this might be his last shot at 12 strikes in a row and a perfect 300. So he was determined to do it right. There were no Brooklyns or cheap shots.
