COUNTY FAIR HONORS — Marissa Mortenson, left, and her sister, Sadie, with the many ribbons and awards they received in 4-H this year. Both qualified for the State Fair. (Submitted photo)
It was a great year for local 4-H’ers Marissa and Sadie Mortenson, who qualified for the State Fair in six events. Marissa will participate in photography while Sadie will sing “The Rose” on the State Fair Performing Arts Stage for the general encampment, when the girls stay at the state fairgrounds. Marissa has qualified the last couple years and had a blast with other fellow 4-H’ers. This will be Sadie's first year staying up there. She's excited to meet new people, learn new things and make new friends. At the end of September, they will both go up with their dogs to the 4-H State Dog Show.

By JIM LUTGENS Editor/Publisher When Mikenzi Hebel accepted the position as New Richland Care Center Administrator, she did so with the intent it would be a long-term deal, saying, “This is not just a stepping stone for me. I plan to spend the rest of my career here.” A little more than two years later, at the July 23 meeting of the New Richland City Council, she submitted her resignation. Rumors have been swirling since, including one which says the city council or other officials wanted Hebel to resign. By all accounts, that’s simply not true. It appears to be just the opposite. So what happened during the past two years to change her mind? Quite frankly, for Hebel and the entire NRCC facility, a lot happened — a historic flood and subsequent evacuation, a pregnancy with complications, unpopular terminations, among others.

Former NRHEG, RCTC standout takes his skills to South Dakota State
BIG STEP — NRHEG High School graduate Kevin Klocek, a football standout at Rochester Community and Technical College the last two years, is making a big step this fall to the Division I level at SDSU. (Star Eagle photo by Nikki Erickson)
By NIKKI ERICKSON Contributing Writer He said it was the hardest decision of his life. But Kevin Klocek packed his bags and left for South Dakota State University with his dreams of playing Division I football coming to fruition. Once a Yellowjacket linebacker, Klocek finished most of his general college credits while playing on scholarship at RCTC in Rochester, within 50 miles of his home in New Richland. His new journey will move him more than 200 miles from home. There, he will walk-on after a standout career at RCTC, where he served as captain. The prospects are bright as Klocek takes to SDSU a 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame that can run the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds. Most would say 200 miles isn’t that far, but Klocek’s ties to his family and local community are the biggest influences in his life, and that will be hard to leave behind.
