ST. PAUL — NRHEG High School’s athletic legacy not only lives on at the University of Minnesota, it’s alive and well on the Corcordia campus.

Anna Schlaak, a 2012 graduate of NRHEG, had a dominant performance last Saturday as the No. 2 ranked Golden Bears captured a four-set win over Winona State in the Holiday Inn and Suites Lake Elmo Volleyball Clash.

Schlaak, a 5-foot-9 junior who red-shirted her freshman year, was the story of the match as she equaled the school record for most kills in a match with 34 as she hit an impressive .518. Her mark of 34 matched Emily Palkert's record set in 2007 and shattered the four-set record of 26 held by three different players. Her previous career high in kills was 25.

Accepting the reasonable suggestion printed in the August 6 Star Eagle, two donors for renovating the former hotel have allowed a picture of their gift money.

A letter from the chair and president for Area Food Shelf of New Richland, Larry Goehring, recommended that people “empty the change” from pockets and purses and give to the cause.

The money will be multiplied by the State Bank of New Richland’s Matching Funds Challenge, “pledged up to $20,000.”

This offer will continue to Oct. 15, 2015.

At the August meeting of New Richland Area Historical Society, a container was tipped on the table to display contents of a can crammed with a variety of coins.
