No one’s been killed - yet.
That’s the mood in “Caught in the Act,” a comedy to be performed at 7 p.m. this Friday on the NRHEG stage. The play’s 14 cast and crew members and first-time-at-NRHEG director Colin Zidlicky have been practicing for the past six weeks to bring together the 90-minute, two-act production filled with laugh-out-loud moments. Doors will open at 6:30, with free will admission charged at the door.

Hilltop Greenhouse and Farm has a love affair with flowers. Not just flowers that are placed in a vase, but all types of growing flowers and plants! They can be red, yellow, pink, orange or purple. How about green flowers, crazy striped flowers, flowers with spots even flowers that you have never seen before. This love of flowers keeps us searching for wonderful and exciting plants to grow each year.
We also love spreading that love to local communities. You will see Hilltop Greenhouse and Farm’s flowers hanging from baskets we plant for the City of Albert Lea, Alden, Austin and Glenville. In planters or in the gardens of Geneva, Hollandale and New Richland too. Or at local Cemeteries we deliver to just before Memorial Day.
A trip to remember

NRHEG band visits New Orleans, Memphis
By Harbor Cromwell,
NRHEG Sophomore
About 30 NRHEG students from grades 9 to 12 spent March 24-29 on a week-long trip to New Orleans. The trip was organized by Colin Zidlicky and Krista Reeder, the school's band and choir directors, as a way to introduce students to the rich culture, music, and history of the city. Students were accompanied by three teachers along with three supervising adults. All concerned feel that the trip was a great success.
The trip started with a long bus ride of roughly 22 hours to the great city; this long ride included hourly rest stops and a few hours at the Bass Pro Pyramid in Memphis, TN.

Geneva cancer ‘mini auction’ highlights weekend
By TRISTAN JENSEN
Editorial Assistant
“Stretch your bidding arms,” was the call made as Geneva Cancer Auction held its Annual Mini-Auction Saturday, April 1 at the Geneva Bar and Grill. At their mini-auction they sell any remaining items which there wasn't time to auction off at the main auctions in January. Barb Kuchenbecker, of the Geneva Cancer Auction board, said there was more than usual available on the mini-auction this year as people were very generous with their donations this January. In addition to leftovers from the big auction there were some new donations for sale, particularly food and floral items. The auction began at 2 p.m. and was scheduled to go “until it's gone.”
