Several area towns have — for a change — interesting races for some offices. But that’s not the case in the City of New Richland. Three people are running for three open city council seats. Angela Gehrke has announced a write-in campaign after noone filed for mayor.

In Ellendale, incumbent Duane Goebel, former mayor Steve Engel and former city councilman Dick Lassahn are running for two council seats.

 

A men’s wedding ring was found under the NRHEG High School football bleachers, apparently lost sometime before the Homecoming game.

The ring is silver, no inscription, with other distinguishing features. To claim, call Sue at 507-465-3205 and identify.

Election Forum 2016

The NRHEG secondary Commons looked like the lobby of a TV quiz show Monday evening, as around 30 guests and staff gathered to interview potential school board members in a public forum.

Five candidates are running on Tuesday, Nov. 8 for three seats vacated by departing members Michele Moxon, Mike Moen, and Lori Routh.

They are Dan Schmidt, Karen Flatness, Robert “Kim” Olson, Richard Mueller, and Neil Schlaak.

Schlaak was unable to attend the forum. 

A sixth candidate, Jessica Duffner, has withdrawn from the race, and although her name will be on the ballot, she will not be running.

 

In observance of Veterans Day November 11, the NRHEG Star Eagle will publish a section dedicated to our defenders of freedom.

Area veterans or family members are encouraged to bring in photos of veterans in uniform from all branches of service for inclusion and the recognition they so justly deserve.

The deadline for photo submission is noon Friday, November 4. For questions or more information, call the Star Eagle office at (507) 463-8112 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

If you’ve already submitted a photo and would like it published again, you don’t need to resubmit, simply contact the Star Eagle.
