New Richland City Council
By JESSICA LUTGENS
Staff Writer
The New Richland City Council held its second meeting of the month on Monday, September 22. All members were present, and the agenda and consent agenda items were approved.
A request by the St. Olaf Lake Association was made, with Darlene Miller and Dr. Dennis Knudson in attendance to present the proposal and ask for the Council’s support for a no passing zone and speed restriction on 240th Ave., the road adjacent to the lake. With so much foot and vehicle traffic on the stretch of road from roughly 170th St. to the Steele/Waseca County line, a speed restriction would greatly reduce the possibility of an accident occurring. The Council approved the request for support, and the proposal will be presented to Waseca County Commissioners, the County Board and eventually the DOT before any action will take place.

Powerhouse Raider football teams ran winning streak to 27 games

The football season is upon us. Homecoming is here.
It’s a time to look ahead and to look back.
Nobody around here will likely forget the 1976 and ’78 state championships for coach Jim Simser’s New Richland-Hartland teams.
To the east, in Ellendale, one of the most memorable stretches ever occurred more than 70 years ago, in the early 1940s.
The Ellendale Red Raiders had a powerhouse back then, going undefeated for two consecutive seasons and outscoring opponents 353-0 in 1941.

Final two Ellendale musicians to play indoors
The city of Ellendale has had a great number of entertainment programs on Saturday night this summer to enjoy, thanks to the organization of Russell Goette. It has good to see so many people turn out for the events each week to enjoy the great music, as well as visit with their friends and neighbors. Summer is quickly coming to an end, the daylight is getting shorter and the evenings are getting cooler, so the last two performances will be moved from the outdoor stage on 5th Avenue and 2nd Street to the Ellendale Community Building. Darlene Smith, who is from Owatonna, will take center stage on September 20 starting at 6:30; and Ross Sletten, whose performance had earlier been rained out back on the 31st of May, will share his musical talents on September 27. Once again Becky Lassahn will be offering root beer. The floats are available for a free-will donation as a fundraiser for the Assembly of God Refuge.
