This March came in like every other March for the Wayne family. It was time to pick out pigs for 4-H.

Rodney and his daughter, Remi, found what they thought would be good pigs at the swine auction in Albert Lea. There were 85 pigs available.

Over the years, the Waynes have come to know Randy Morris well, purchasing pigs from him each spring. Randy lives near Myrtle, and he and Justin Morris, who lives in Mankato, also show pigs at the fair.

Rodney and other farmers are only able to purchase pigs at an auction. They can’t just go to the Morris farm and look over the pigs available for purchase and buy one. 

Rodney admits that although he is the most influential, Remi is the one who selects the pigs they purchase and is the one who takes care of them the most. They both work together to get the end product.

NRHEG School Board

By REED WALLER

Staff Writer

Several projects were examined by the NRHEG School Board at their September meeting Monday, Sept. 17.

Ellendale sound system

Representatives from the PTO and music instructor Frank Whitcomb were on hand to discuss the purchase of a new sound system for the Ellendale Gym.

A sound system was tested last year in cooperation with Audio Logic Systems, with the speaker installation above the stage.

“It made a big difference,” said Whitcomb.

A new system which Whitcomb and the PTO believe will suit Ellendale’s needs is estimated to cost approx. $20,500.

The PTO now has about $4,000 in donations and is working up to a $10,000 goal. Would the district agree to matching funds?

New Richland City Council

By NICOLE BILLING

Editorial Assistant

The New Richland City Council held its second meeting of September at 6:30 Monday evening. All members of the council were present for the meeting. The council members approved the meeting agenda as revised with two additional items dealing with the softball field.

The first order of business was the fire department reporting on the condition of the building that the fire department wants to obtain for storage. The council authorized the fire department to contact Lester Wenzel, who owns the building, as soon as possible. 

The People’s Service Report stated the city’s sewer repair budget was 60 percent used up for this year. It also stated they were making good progress on the reconstruction of the waste water plant. The in-flow and infiltration was down this month, because of no rain.
