Life is brief and very fragile. Hope, like love, transcends all time. It is a friend, a healer and a maker of dreams. When you give, you harvest an abundance of love that life offers.
Maybe all of life’s promises don't come true. We can only try.
January is a month dedicated to extraordinary attention given to the cause against cancer. Though it is an ongoing cause year-round, January 8-9 and 15-16 are special days set aside for the Geneva Cancer Auction. Friday night began with a brief introduction by Jamie Hagen, followed by his father, DuWayne, or Whitey, Hagen, as he is best known, reviewing some achievements that go back 30 to 40 years ago.

NRHEG School Board
By REED WALLER
Staff Writer
In a brief open session following the Organizational Meeting Monday, January 4, the NRHEG school board’s Staff Negotiations Committee opened negotiations with Dale Carlson on terms of a contract for permanent superintendent of schools.
A positive evaluation at last month’s meeting caused the board’s selection committee to recommend going ahead with him for the position rather than beginning the costly and time-consuming selection process again.
Carlson will be the third superintendent the district has had in the last 10 years, since the resignation of Richard Lorenz in 2006. Lorenz held the position for 21 years.
At Monday’s organizational meeting, board elections were held, producing much discussion on the nomination process but no change in the board officers, who were all re-elected.
